Hobby?
Toy or game, why do we care? I think the reason for this question is the assertion that MPFL is for adults and not children, which clearly it is intended for by the desginer. "Toy" is generally is classified for children whereas it more generally acceptable in our minds for adults to play "games".
Definition of a toy: an object, often a small representation of something familiar, as an animal or person, for children or others to play with; plaything
Definition of a game: a competitive activity involving skill, chance, or endurance on the part of two or more persons who play according to a set of rules, usually for their own amusement or for that of spectators.
To be technical about it, the word game is probably more appropriate for the MPFL (and MF in general) because it fits the definition of the word to a T. Maybe a figure could be considered a toy. I think most would agree that by definitions above, a GAME it is! But to me the best word is still hobby because that encompasses all of the painting, customizing, detailing, tweaking, GAMING, etc.
