Are there toys in Heaven?

[Thomas_Jennings]

I wanted to ask a rather geeky and embarrassing (for me) question (I’m 22). I collect incredibly detailed and lifelike figures (OK, detailed and lifelike TOYS) of characters from my favourite films. Any glance at things by ‘Hot Toys’ (not as dodgy as it sounds) can illustrate how advanced this art form (all be it a nerdy one) can be…The question is; might there be toys or movies in Heaven? People often talk about there being music and, sometimes, art…Is it possible that nerds like me can still enjoy our geeky heart’s various loves if (cooler) people like Mozart can continue to enjoy theirs?
I suppose a deeper way of putting it is; ‘how much of our current character traits and interests make it into eternity?’

Hi,

Heaven has better than the toys you like. It has the Origin of the good you see in the toys. I know that this sounds abstract and it is. But it is also the truth. As much as you like these things, isn’t talking to others who are into them is at least as much fun than the toys themselves? I suspect so—because we are social by nature (even the most introverted of us). So there is more than the toys—much, much more. How about unlimited toys or their equivalent!

He is the origin of all that is good. HE is the BEST!
