Collectible models are miniature representations of real-life objects, often created for enthusiasts and collectors. These models can range from vehicles like cars and airplanes to figures from popular culture, such as Star Wars or Marvel characters. They are often made from materials like plastic, metal, or resin and can be either pre-assembled or require assembly by the collector. The appeal of collectible models lies in their detail and craftsmanship, making them not just toys but also valuable items for display. Many collectors enjoy showcasing their collections, attending conventions, and participating in online communities dedicated to model building and collecting.
