Title: Okay, who still collects toys / action figures?
Post by: Living-In-Clip on August 16, 2001, 11:53:25 PM: Its a well known fact that none of us on this board have grown up - well, at least most of us haven\'t. So, how many of you still collect toys or more properly "action figures"?
I\'m guilty of it. I just went yesterday and bought the Akira set (Kaneda / Kaneda\'s bike / Tetuso!) and three of the new Todd Mcfarlane series, "Tortured Souls". They are based off the six part Clive Barker novella.

There is the URL for the details / pictures / etc on that series. They are sweet.

I\'ll probably byu few Lord of the Rings action figures when they appear on shops ;)

So, perhaps not collecting, but I\'m still buying one every now and then ( speaking about years, not months )

Pull its cord and it says, "May the shwartz be with you!"

So cool. Must have now.

Post by: Toxical on August 17, 2001, 05:37:58 AM: I havn\'t done any collecting in a while, like 10 years...

I used to have a lot of Transformers, but they were given away. Sh!t, i wish i had them back. ;)

Oh yeah, i had some GI-Joe action figures too. ;)

I used to collect comic books; I had 3500 of them, now i have 140 comic books. :rolleyes:

Does anyone remember the old Aurora Universal Monster models?

Recently a company called Polar Lights have been releasing all the models from days gone by.

I am also looking for Wacky Packs from the 60\'s and 70\'s.

Post by: Titan on August 18, 2001, 06:14:25 AM: I haven\'t collected anything for about a year. If I feel up to it, I buy Star Wars toys for my collection.
When my mom goes through the attic, she always asks if she could sell my brothers and my Ghostbusters and Turtles toys. We always say no. They\'ll be worth a fortune some day ;)

Post by: The Answer #3 on August 19, 2001, 04:41:28 PM: I like Darth Joyda have the Darth Maul figure. I dont collect them. I just buy them if I see one I really like. That was the last one I brought.

My 2 most wanted figures, but I dont know if you can get them are Sephiroth and Rikimaru

Post by: Halberto on August 19, 2001, 05:10:54 PM: I don\'t have any anymore. But I keep saving up enough money for a Vivi action figure thing but always blow it when I go to the movies with friends on popcorn or stupid **** like that. I am NOT someone to give $50 to and expect them to give you all of it back. :(
