quest1mark · 04-23-2003, 07:50 PM

im not ashamed to say i still collect toys.....errrrr action figures. ive been collecting the marvel legends figures from toybiz..and they are absolutely AMAZING. the articulation and the precision is remarkable.

some others in my collection include the new he-man figures from mattel and the nba mcfarlane sportspicks...anything my mcfarlane is bad ass.

theres gotta be others who collect too..where are you guys at?

Yep me too! I buy them because it makes me feel like a god.... manipulating those little beings MWUAHAHAHAHAHA!

But seriously, I do collect them, I buy almost anything good, my collection consists of MacFarlane stuff, Star Wars stuff (75%), Lord of ther Rings stuff, assorted movie stuff (ie Matrix, Spiderman), Transformers (all series except Armada), Toy Story... shit, I need a life!

Mind you I don't play with any of them, just got them in a big wooden bookshelf, they look cool so I buy them.

in past days i used to collect ninja turtles i had 80+ action figures all the buildings and all of the vehicles

i also collected silver hawks, dino riders, transformers and ghostbusters

Ganguro · 04-24-2003, 05:35 AM

wow they made silverhawk toys? I must have missed those.. I do have the set of thundercats toys still in the blister packs though.. I might need to sell those on Ebay to pay off these student loans. I used to collect figures religiously.. until i became a broke assed adult, and my parents stopped supporting me. Now i just buy certain figures that I like.. and if it's really cool.. i'll even play with them. Screw preservation.. life's too short. You could die tomorrow and your prized collection would go to waste. Fuck that.. im playing with my toys

I pick them up occasionally. I have the full speed racer set including a Mach 5. Plus I have all of my original star wars figures (out of the box of course) including a millenium falcon, AT-AT, and Darth Vader carrying head!

I am an ecclectic collector..
This means that i pick up whatever catches my attention.
i'm not big on ToyBiz (did you see all the excess flash on the hands in the Star Trek series? i didn't even pick up Data for my Dad.... although father's day is approaching.... )
My sister is the true collector in the family.

They're all still in the packages, thumbtacked to the wall where i can gaze at them adoringly...

I don't collect anymore but when I saw the new GI Joe 2 pack with duke and cobra commander I bought it. I opened them though. I just couldn't resist. GO JOE!

Ok, let's see.... The new Justice League figures are tight. So are the Gundam Battle Scarred figures. Macfarlane stuff used to impress but his style is SOOO 1996. And sports toys? What the hell is that all about?

These days I'm most interested in small edition designer toys... Pete Fowler, Michael Lau. Not that I can afford to buy many of them, but when I can, it's sweet.

In a different vein, Stikfas are awesome. I don't have the skills to customize them but some people out there have made some awesome figures with them.

There was a toy in the mid seventies that were called action figures. I used to love them. Consruction workers police firemen. I wish i didnt give everything away to the kid down the street. I had all the star wars stuff, six million dollar man, gi joes, matchbox cars....if I only knew...oh well

LordEden · 04-25-2003, 04:04 PM

I have only a few action figures... One DBZ Super Sayian Goku that lights up on my computer who is stabbing a sword through stupid Beanie Baby dragon my ex gave me, and the Intel Guy (back when pentiums came out) is humping him... quite funny. Besides that, I have no more figures.
