Thread: Unlikely Toy Collectors

  1. #1

    Unlikely Toy Collectors

    Mostly of the famous/semi-famous variety. I myself am not one most people take for being a toy collector. It's probably the most normal thing about me.

    I'm not alone. It's well known that Glenn Danzig is a toy collector.

    One of the most impressive and jaw-dropping toy collections I've seen lately belongs to Tesco Vee, who is just as well known for being the absolute lunatic frontman of The Meatmen as he is known in toy collecting circles.

    I've known quite a few people in the music and arts biz who are into toys.
    along with quite a few who raise eyebrows when I walked into the green room with a handful of Ledy.

  3. Wasn't LEonardo DiCrapio's mego collection up for sale a few years ago? RM Robin is all I remember. Something tells me though his definition of hobby has changed. I kind of like what he "collects" now.

    I am an unlikely toy collector.
    When I .... how do you say (?) .... think of my mindframe on this spaceplane, I'm Skywalker with my X-Wing like I was when I was a kid.
