There are a few basic ground rules when it comes to chatting with any comics-based toy enthusiast.

Firstly, the miniaturized effigies of various comic heroes are called "super hero collectable action figures." Never "dollies."

Secondly, one does not ask to "play" with a super hero collectable action figure; one respectfully inquires how often the collector "manipulates" the figure in real-time, authentic battle recreations.

Thirdly (and this is most important), never, ever, ask if the collector has any Barbies.
