On top of my main collections (Transformers and He-man) I collect ReBoot, The tick, Tales from the Crypt, horror movie figures and Sooty.
You know what I wish I collected as a kid? Old Argos catalogs. (Argos is a catalog store here in the UK) Seriously. I remember the feeling I used to get when a new catalog would come out, a feeling I sort of get even today. New catalog? I immediately browse the toy section to see whats new. I wish I had all the toys listings from when I was a kid, so I could relive some old nostalgia and compare prices with today and all that. Sigh. Ah well. Maybe I could check eBay? Edit Oh shit, I shouldn't have looked. http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Argos-Catalog...14&_trkparms=72:1121|66:2|65:12|39:1|240:1318
I was the same, I loved toy sections from old catalogues. I remember at high school in textiles they had loads of old catalogues from about 9 years earlier with Jazz and Hound in the toy section. I pulled the page out and took it home lol.
YOU'RE A SUICIDE GIRLS PHOTOGRAPHER?? you're my new hero! back on-topic: besides Transformers, I have a lot of marvel action figures, comics, Gundam models, Lego EXO-Force and even power rangers Zords. At one point I also started collecting SG pics, but at that time I didn't have enough Gig's to get all the pics..
I miss the old Sears Holiday book with all the fun stuff from the 80s good bathroom reading! I only collect Transformers i use to collect TMNT the original but i gave that one up want to start collecting Eureka 7 models
Bwahaha, that's awesome! I'd love to see a picture of all of them just to see the kind of space it would take up.
Not sure if all these really qualify since most are adult collectibles as well. I don't stray away from TFs too often, unless it's something that's just VERY unique or special to me in some way. That would include: My First Transformer/Tonka/Playskool Gobots These tend to get ignored/overlooked, but I loved them enough to track down every variant of every mold. Braves I consider these guys to be G1 "Expanded Universe". They're so closely related to Transformers, I almost don't make a distinction. X-Files 12" Figures Nothing special here, just a huge X-Files fan and there's not a ton of XF merch out there. Kamen Rider disk animals I just found these to be utterly amazing and couldn't pass them up... it's taken forever to track down all the variants, but I recently finished. It's got to be REALLY unique to get me interested, though - I don't like diverting funds away from TFs. I've been tempted by Marvel Legends, but the waves are too random for me. If they ever do "team" sets from various lineups of the X-Men, Avengers, West Coast Avengers, Alpha Flight, etc... I'll have to take another look.
The only thing I can think of that I collect that other adults don't collect is Jar Jar Binks figures. Yes, here I am, at the far opposite end of the spectrum from a SG photographer.
