Since I'm a big Spider-Man and Batman fan (mainly cartoons) amoung other things. I was wondering what type of stuff do you collect...I collect action figure and other memorbilia. Here are my collections:

In order from greatest to smallest-

1. Spider-Man (and Marvel characters)
2. Batman (and Superman/DC characters)
3. X-Men
4. Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (original series)
5. the Real Ghostbusters
6. Bruce Campbell/Sam Raimi (AoD, Hercules, Xena, etc)
7. Star Trek
8. the Simpsons
9. He-Man and the Masters of the Universe (original series)

rarest items (guess)
-Mego Spider-Man (near-mint)
-Spider-Man stuff animal from 70s (got a flee market for $7)

oddest items
-Batman marbles
-unknown Spider-Man grabber (small) (mom found at library)
-Ninja Turtles tissues in the boxes
-Batman shoelaces
 
My own personal "collection" is kind of unique in its own right, because it's so random and atypical. But here it is anyway:

1] Jack Nicholson Movies
(just about all on VHS but a few on DVD)
2] Meryl Streep Movies
(just about all on VHS but a few on DVD)
3] Stanley Kubrick Movies
(all on DVD and VHS)
4] Music / CDs
(own somewhere between 200-300 and consists of many different artists/genres of past/present eras)
5] Magneto action figures
(some are different sizes)
6] Star Trek: The Next Generation
(many of the episodes on VHS, proud to say all of the Q episodes are there)
 
I collect flyers believe it or not, you can't walk an inch in Midtown Manhattan without getting a flyer for something, I take them and put them up on my wall.

I collect a lot of toys, not really collect just buy them:

I collect Hess trucks, got every Hess truck ever, and have the original with the more recent ones.

I have a lot of action figures, a lot in my attic and closet, some went to charity here is what I have on display in my room:

Oh and I have a bout fifty comic books.

That's about it. Basically I collect a lot of weird stuff, mostly for nostalgia and because I can never throw anything out.
 
I used to collect Turtles action figures but I sold them all. What I collect nowadays:
-DVDs -Video Games
 
Visit my website. Be amazed. Be stunned. Be sure to move your lower jaw back in its place after visiting.
 
At various times in the past, I have collected a few things:
  • Around the mid to late 1990s, I collected coins for a few years, but the low price limits I had at the time make that boring to look back on.
  • I collected business cards when I was 4 to 7 years old, obviously caring very little about most of the businesses. I somehow got over 600 different ones.
  • I collected another kind of card a few years ago. In some sections, that collection is complete, but in other areas, it is almost nonexistent.
  • There were many smaller collections that are not as memorable to me.
Nowadays, I only collect cartoons, but even that seems to be fading. I go through phases with amount of cartoon collecting, though.

WB has done so well with releasing the Paramount Popeye cartoons on home media that they should be chosen to distribute the long-delayed animated Popeye film that at various points was to be made by Sony and directed by Genndy Tartakovsky (who has a long association with WB sister property Cartoon Network).
Today is my Birthday!
Today marks the 25th Year Anniversary of when Pokémon Crystal was released in North America. To this day, the Johto Games remain my favorite games in the Pokémon Franchise.
Today marks the 15th Year Anniversary of ThunderCats (2011). While I find it unfortunate that the show was canceled before it had a chance to finish its story, I am glad that the show's art director was willing to give fans closure via a podcast interview.
Okay, so I found out that Sailor Moon had meet and greets at Universal Studios back in May. It would have been so cool if we had that at the turn of the century. I have gotten hugs from a Sailor Moon and a Sailor Mars at a local con back in the 2010s and spent under $100 doing it, so I don't know if this is worth the splurge but I can see that these affluent geeky people are enjoying their Sailor Moon hugs.
