			==Toy Caption==
			Is there a particular relevance to the pun used for the toy image caption that I'm not getting? It makes basic sense and the link clarifies for anyone unfamiliar with the term, but, it still feels pretty loose. Especially since most of the images on this page go without, is it appropriate to reference a stereotype of this kind in a caption without a stronger connection? To be clear, that's not a rhetorical question or a judgement. It doesn't unambiguously cross a line of bad taste (though I'm obviously wary) and I don't know wiki policy on the matter.

			Thoughts? [[User:MeGrimlockKing\|MeGrimlockKing]] ([[User talk:MeGrimlockKing\|talk]]) 01:42, 30 April 2020 (EDT)
