In what experts are calling "
the future of toy collecting", local toy collector Patrick has taken his
unboxing rituals to a whole new level by carefully pairing each figure with
a matching food item to "
fully immerse himself in the nostalgia". Genius or insane?
ToyFarce investigated...
"
It just makes sense!" explained Patrick while preheating his oven. "
If I’m opening Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles figures, I’m having a huge pepperoni pizza. That’s just respect, that’s world-building!"
Patrick says the idea came to him after realizing that simply opening toys no longer delivered the same emotional rush it once did: "
You get older, you chase that feeling... so I thought, what if I also engaged my taste buds in the memory?"
Since then, his
collection room has slowly transformed into what can only be described as a cross between a
display shelf and a
small food court:
Opening the
Boss Fight Studios Garfield figure?
Lasagna.
Unboxing a
Nacelle Toys Biker Mice from Mars figure? A
hot dog, obviously.
A
Playmates Star Trek Jean Luc Picard action figure? I'll have it with a nice cup of
tea.
Earl Grey.
Hot.
Mattel Jurassic Park figures? "
Chicken. It’s the closest thing to dinosaur we’ve got..."
With the huge popularity of '
mukbang' videos, where people are eating a meal in front of a camera and getting
millions of views (!), and toy unboxing videos, where people are opening a toy in front of a camera and getting...
hundreds of views (!), it wouldn't take too long before
Patrick decided to start livestreaming his unboxing/meals.

"
Some days I don’t feel like unboxing anything..." he added. "
But then I think, 'man, I could really go for a donut...' and suddenly, I’m browsing my shelf for anything Jakks Pacific Simpsons-related to open!"
"
I did consider going full method for the Mondo JAWS vinyl figure..." he admitted, "
... but the police might have asked too many questions."
What food would you pair with your toy unboxing for maximum nostalgia?
