wouldn't really call myself a collector, but i've got a few cool ones, like a kenshiro figure by xebec toys, and a guts figure that's apparently pretty rare.

I only have about 30 figures, as I buy one or two a year when they catch my eye.

Most recent acquisitions were the NECA NES Jason and Freddy figures, which are boss!

I'll occasionally grab anime figures when I'm ordering stuff online since they're pretty cheap directly in Japan.  I don't have a lot, but there are a couple I keep on my desk at work.

I have a ton of M.U.S.C.L.E. Men, but they probably don't count. :P

I think I still have some boxes of GI JOE toys from when I was a kid. No. I bet I tossed them years ago. Dammit. I'd sell them now. I loved putting the stickers on the vehicles...following directions was never so much fun.
I always had fun following directions of lego sets

I have a bunch of Aliens action figures, still in box, that I bought when I was a kid thinking they'd be an awesome investment or some shit. Not really the case, but at least they look cool.

My folks are cleaning out their attic and have my entire collection of He-Man (+ Castle Grayskull!), GI Joe and Starcom toys. They're going to make a road trip this summer to visit Wisconsin and I told them to bring 'em along so I could start selling them off. If anyone on the boards is interested in this stuff (it's all 1985 - 1991 era) you'll get first dibs.

I may be interested in some He-Man stuff. Also, if you have Silverhawks, that too, also, as well, too.

My uncle was really into GI Joes. He more so collected the 12 inch figures than the plastic ones, but he dabbled in those. Growing up I had footlockers filled with GI Joe uniforms, guns, jeeps, scuba gear (bathtub fun), battle stations. You name it. He would just give me this stuff because it was doubles for him.

I would play with this stuff inside and out up until I was in middle school and realized I could get made fun of (so sad).

I still have some of the cooler stuff that I liked. The Joes with "life like hair".

Now my uncle collects Mego figures. Him and I both recently got really into them and we bond over tht a lot.

And the funny thing about my uncle that I found out recently is that he had a TG16 back when they came out. I never knew.

So my uncle got me into larger figures like GI Joes and Megos.

He really is awesome. He taught me quite a bit about eBay and he's one of the few who understands why i do what i do. He was talking to me about pinball on the TG16 so once i get Devil's Crush we are having a high score competition for sure.

I have a few movie related figures. Neca and Mcfarline T-800, Mcfarline Robocop, Neca Alien, McFarline Hicks, The Comedian, McFarline Ghost in the Shell and Armatage figures. A Tom and Jerry thing too, and some other random stuff. The ones I care about the most are the Neca Terminator and McFarline Robocop. The McFarline Robocop is better then the Neca releases. Though it has a couple less features, it's more weighty and looks better.
