@Tfmonkey I don't care much about tabletop miniatures but so far I've been interested in the painting process.
There are amazing sculpts and models you can get from Dollar Store toys and figurines. Where they down right suck is usually in the bland painting work.
Having kept a few dino toys from my childhood, that's probably where fun of painting would start for me: https://yt.artemislena.eu/watch?v=81k8Cloc_Js
Though I'm glad you're sharing other hobbies. It may get dull repeating yourself 5 times a week.
@Wopu once you learn the magic tricks of using washes, speed paints, and dry brushing, you can turn a lot of basic toys into works of art.
