Plastic Crack

A term used to describe the "addicting" manner of obsession seen by certain groups of people and individuals who collect and/or build plastic models and figurines ranging from tabletop RPGs like warhammer 40k to Gundam Plastic Models or "Gunpla". The term has been used due to certain individuals sometimes dropping hundreds of dollars on what to other's perspectives seems like a useless piece (or unassembled pieces) of plastic. The first widespread use of the term was to describe Players of the Warhammer 40K Series and eventually Gunpla Builders. It is mainly used by outsiders for the respective fanbases but the people inside the "Plastic Crack" addiction category use it in a joking manner to describe their hobby.
