What's your main theme to collect?

This thread is like AA for Mego collectors.

Oh, that's good..

I just love hearing about everyone's collection.. Currently I'm still scarfing up Silver and Bronze age Marvel comics (primarily FF and Spidey..) and completing my Mego FF figure line.

I'm looking at my few Famous Covers now and will still like to finish a custom Hawkeye and a Swordsman. If I get another FC Reed and Sue, I'll be able to customize a Johnny Storm. I love their poseability.

I have most of the original WGSH loose and most are from when I was a kid in the 70's. I also completed a loose run of the Kenner Star Wars 3/34. Still want to complete the Famous Covers collection and Hasbro Signature Series/DC 9" collections. I am really getting into custominzing the Signature Series 9" figures.

as a kid i always was after the '8" format.and thats what i still prefer.super heroes ,trek,apes,waltons ,dukes,mad monsters,action jackson,dinah,etc ,also the figures from megos "6" format.thats why i am so into all these new figures,its mego the next generation.and its funto see them at retail.i also have fond memories of checking out all the mego lines at the time,our local mall had six stores that carried megos at that time,after school i would walk over every day and check them out,see who i could buy next,still have them.was fun

Not to be funny but honestly my most favorite theme to collect at the moment is... cheap! And the best part at this particular moment for me is with the recent TJ Maxx finds and the CTVT stuff that apparently no one but me wants, I'm really racking up the finds. And in turn feeding the Mego want and need.

I simply love these toys. Plus the one's that are the poorer quality / reissue still fuel the collector fire to eventually get the real deal once the budget allows for it again.

So for the fun of it, save your pennies for the ones you really want but in the meantime pick up a CTVT or other discounted deal just keep fuleing the flames of Mego goodness. Just please don't blame me if the plastic cracks and they can't stand up

All eight inch format of the following;

Outside Mego I keep it to Conan and Jonah Hex stuff.

Strictly a Superman collector here.

Mego Superman, Ideal Superman, Remco Superman, Kenner Superman, Superman lunchboxes, Superman statues, Superman full sized costumes, glasses, posters...etc...oh...and Supergirl, Superboy, and Krypto are included too...no villains though...just the good guys...lol...




P.S. I'm also into RC cars...and a few dinosaur-related stuff.

What has become clear is I collect more than I have space to warrant. Isn't it funny how space, or the lack thereof, causes you to sell off those things which you fought so hard to reconnect with? Of course once you get that space back, you feel the need to fill it once more. It's the great contradiction in this addiction.

Honestly I don't have just one focus , I am extremely insane. I'm all over road. LOL. I don't think there is anything really would not collect. Once I get all my pics taken I am going to post my link to my virtual toy room. Then everyone can see all thecrazy crap i've collected over the years. LOL.

For dolls, just monsters and creatures and similar things. Mego Mad Monsters, AHI monsters, Tomland, aliens from Star Trek...Apes...etc. Im not into superheros, but I have a near mint on card Mego Spiderman, and some of the new retro heros... My toy collection is mainly Lego. Classic Space, Classic Castle and any type of escapist fantasy sets they've put out through the years... Mego and Lego are the 2 toy lines that I tend to remember most fondly from childhood, so I stick with those. My collection is pretty small compared to some of the pics I've seen here of the entire rooms that some people have, (the entirety of the dolls I have fit on 1 crowded shelf) but I still love what I have. I also have a set of Alfred Hitchcock and the 3 Investigators hardback books, from 1-28, that I plan to give to my nieces when they get about 10. Apparently they're somewhat rare... I don't play with my old
Figures, so I'm really loving all the new monsters and monster related figures comming out right now...
