I doubt you can call this outlook "snobbish", however, I wonder if the definition of art can/shall/will or even should be expanded to include these figures. Personally, I find some of them (at least the ones without their faces rotting off) rather charming creations. But I'm somewhat conflicted as to whether or not they fall within the purview of art.

LOL! Very insightful comment! This can be a very delightful attribute or it can mean you're dealing with someone whose development has been fully arrested. Or a little bit of both. Either way, their creations are an honest reflection of their sensibilities as individuals.
