If you had a million dollars to spend on toys?

[BOTZWANA]

What would it be? Now don´t come on here saying you would pay off your mortgage etc....This post is not about that. This is fantasy time.

If I had a million dollars and I had to JUST spend it on toys....

The Funko Wacky Wobblers line. Not exclusives because I don´t like exclusives, just the regular ones. I am sure I will have money left over so....

The entire Mattel Legends of wrestling line. Again, no exclusives...

The entire Marvel Universe 4 inch line.

Super Nintendo and all games, and Sega Genesis and all games from the past.

I think that would eat it all up.

That's a cool question, Amigo.

I'd start with the Megos I want but don't have (got a ways to go). Loose and clean have always been my favorite from any and all lines.

After that, I have some designs on an expanded 12" GI Joe collection, Gabrielle Lone Ranger, Marx Best of the West, Six Million Dollar Man, Star War figures and vehicles, Adventure People, classic vintage board games, Atari and Nintendo games (still have the consoles).

There is a current thread about the NFL Action Team Mates (that I never had) that makes me want those, as well.

Obviously, your parameters exclude comics, but if we can include lunch boxes, I have a bunch of the classic ones that I would like to add to my collection.

(Edited to add anything Evel Knievel. Holy Cow, I can't believe I forgot to name that.)

[Random Axe]

Dead mint Kresge Megos, all of them.

All Superman and Shazam toys, figures, playsets and collectibles ever made.

Nothing too exciting from me.

[Werewolf]

Odd Ogg
King Zor
Great Garloo

Full set of series 1 and 2 Colorforms The Outer Space Men

[jimsmegos]

First and foremost it would have to be one each of every boxed and carded Superman, Batman and Robin Mego released...

Every Barbie I could get my hands (for my wife. leave me alone, I love her.)

And then ( I can't stop the Capitalist in me) I'd buy up tons of stock from EMCE, Castaway and CTVT to open a "Build-A-Figure" store.

And all of the Gabriel Lone Ranger toys.

Plus I'd commission Doc to help me do a run of a character's I've created, Odie the OGRE and Maxwell Marx...

[ScottA]

I would raid Huckabones warehouse and clean him out of his Megos. Then I'd get Ricks' and Dans' carded collection and Toms' boxed collection. Then find any boxed or carded figures that didn't cover.

Then get the GAH figures.

[Hector]

All the classic Superman stuff I could buy...

[BOTZWANA]

[steelcouch]

I would go after the mego prototypes that were in existance. After that I think I would get all the palitoy action man line mint in box.

[The Bat]

WGSH
Star Trek
POTA
Playsets & Boxed Batmoblie
Pay BlackKnight to me me Customs until he had Carpel tunnel & Tendonitis.:grin::smiley1:
Get a Contact with BK to have his Custom Male & Female Body produced in China.Then try to start up our own Toy Company...so Jason & I would NEVER have to work a 9 to 5 Job EVER again!!:yes:

[TrueDave]

Million dollars?

I would buy a VIRGIN set of everything in "Toy Bop: Kid Classics of the 50's and 60's"

Then watch a room of day care kids tear into them. Okay i wouldnt be watching i would be chasing the kids I don't like with the Johnny 7 One man Army

( and a GI Nurse and an Atomic Disintergrator for me)

[kerowack]

If I HAD to spend it on toys?

Crap....that would be a fun spree.....dedicated to every toy line I ever grew up with and even those I always wanted to grow up with....

First things first....Buy a bunch of MOC Megos and tear them open like it's Christmas day.....

[enyawd72]

I would give it all to Hot Toys, and have them create for me an exclusive one of a kind set of every single Universal Monster and Hammer Monster in one sixth scale.

[nvmbrsdoom5]

I'd get all of the boxed and carded Mego toys I've wanted for years, complete series of stuff like ST:TMP, Buck Rogers, Flash Gordon, Micronauts, Black Hole, etc.

All the Star Wars vintage era toys, 1977-1984, boxed/carded

All of the 1970s G.I. JOE and Super Joe toys.

All of the 24" and die-cast SHOGUN WARRIOR toys, including foreign releases.

As many of the old 1970s/1980s Fisher Price Little People and Adventure People toys MIB/MOC, etc., that I could find.

I'd buy lots of old Barbie, Care Bears, Woodseys, Sylvanian families/Calico critters, etc. from the 1980s for my wife, so she could share in the fun too :)

All of the 1982-1984 RAH G.I. Joe toys.

Lastly I would pay to have some company create two adult-sized versions of the original Green Machine so that I could have races with friends!

[huedell]

Nothing I'd have'd be packaged/on card...that's for sure.

If I could hire guys like Michael Crawford as advisors..it'd be great...cause
I don't know the cool toy lines like I should.

[clemso]

I would raid Huckabones warehouse and clean him out of his Megos. Then I'd get Ricks' and Dans' carded collection and Toms' boxed collection. Then find any boxed or carded figures that didn't cover.

Lol! So would I, + Brian's collection too :wink_y:

[Hector]

Is one million enough for one of those replica 60s Batmobiles?

Because if it is...that's what I would buy...that big beautiful giant toy...

[Brazoo]

I was going to say I couldn't think of anything that would come close to making a dent in a mill.

But then I thought of...
http://www.hollywoodlostandfound.net/pictures/props/kingkong.jpg
Original King Kong Armature

If that counts as a toy, I might try to spend the whole wad on that.

That one crossed my mind as well...

[Sandman9580]

I'd get a bunch of '80s toys I'd had as a kid. Star Wars, Super Powers, Ghostbusters, He-Man, G.I. Joe, the first waves of Ninja Turtles... but I'd concentrate on the first three. I'd have a complete loose, mint set of my favorite Megos (WGSH, Pirates, Robin Hood, Flash Gordon, Trek and Apes, Our Gang, Dukes of Hazzard, Wizard of Oz. Heck, if it's in 8" format and isn't the Waltons, I'd probably buy it). You could go pretty far with that kind of money if you're just into loose toys, like I am. A million would more than cover it.

Thinking seriously about it though... maybe I wouldn't go for the toys. Maybe I'd set up a workshop, buy some tools (resins, mold-making supplies, sewing machine, air brush), pay some members here to give me an accelerated master class in customizing figures, then I'd start making my own one-of-a-kind toys and playsets. That way, I could indulge in my love of toys, but be really creative with it, too. That would be the best.

[Brown Bear]

I'd hire EMCE Toys to make me a Mego line of World's Greatest Boxers featuring all my favorite fighters: Duran, Holyfield, Frazier, Foreman, Holmes, Leonard, Hearns, etc.
All with removeable boxing gloves with taped hands underneath. Then I'd ask Toyroom to do the packaging for me, then I'd stay up all night and do boxing matches.

Wow!! Nice!!!!:cool_y:

[VintageMike]

I'd be looking for carded & boxed Megos a plenty as well as lots of vintage Kenner Star Wars. Now if you consider full sized arcade machines toys (aren't they though?) I would build an arcade in my backyard. Something like this http://www.lunacityarcade.com/photos.htm but with some games from the late eighties and ealry ninties as well.
