and i couldn't help but think to myself, i wouldn't want to buy such items, ever, because i'd have no utility for them
most people would buy them for the collection and stuff (others might find more fascinating uses, such as in-tandem with a glass jar), but personally, it's not worth the money to buy it, unless i happened to want to study the craftsmanship of it if i wanted to make my own
i imagined myself spending money on a figure if it hid a shank or had hidden storage compartments or built-in weapons or tools though
