What Do You Own That NEVER Thought You Would

[tllgn]

Dinah-mite, even though i had this as a kid (because she was an 8 inch mego),i never thought that i would end up
with so much -the beach house,the ski chalet,the bike,the health spa,outfits,and lots of standard dinahs,black dinahs,
rood super girl dinahs,a couple dons,and its the superheros,apes ,trek that i like the best,but like action jackson-she
kinda grows on ya.

AFA Wizard Of Oz figures......

I'm with ya on the WOZ stuff. Never thought it would be a line I'd collect, but next thing I know, I'm more than half way there, buying them on the cheap, even have two of those cutsie Munchkins so far!

Other than than, I'd guess I'd say my 12" Black Hole collection. I wasn't interested in the line as a kid, due to there just being "boring" human characters involved. That plus their common grey head syndrome kept me away for years. But here we are now, and I'm sitting here with the complete line on my shelf, grey heads and all. Except for that maddening walking Vincent Italian release!

I never sought out to be the owner of a double amputee hookhanded private investigator who looks like Ronnie Milsap with working eyes, yet here I am. At first it was a cool novelty, but it's actually a neatly done piece. I wish I had it complete, though and in better condition.

[Iron Mego]

As a kid I never thought I would own a Mego Iron Man, The Thing, Human Torch or Green Goblin. Now I have them ALL! And all but one were bought from Museum members.

I am going to say my Star Wars "Toy Center" shelf talker. I've always had a passion for collecting the toys of my childhood but never really though I'd have an interest in store displays. Now I can think of a few I'd like.

Mego wise, it's Superheroes. I really didn't start out to be a Superhero collector. And then I joined this forum called Mego Museum, and well...

For dolls, American Girl and Springfield Collection.

Starsky and Hutch. I liked the show alot but never thought I would add them to my collection.

There's nothing toy wise I can say that I didn't think I would come by, that I wanted, that I couldn't find. I can say that there are 2 records I thought I would never own...one is a Beatles Butcher Sleeve and the Let It Be Box that came out in '69/'70. I actually found them within weeks of each other on Ebay a few years back. Beatle Butcher was in a lot of Beatles records. It's still pasted over, and until I find someone to peel it professionally it will stay as a pasted over Butcher Sleeve.

non mego, i never thought i would have a jeannie bottle,a gilligans radio and twilight zone mystic seer.i would have
loved this stuff more when i was a kid,but i still love it today.

I have never said never to any collectible. There are some that I never pushed to get but eventually I consider almost anything.

[jwyblejr]

A Dave Seville figure from Alvin and the Chipmunks. I was after a Mego Starsky and he was in the lot with him.

Never thought I would ever own Dinah Mite and any 3-3/4" figures until obsession got the best of me.

[Tothiro]

Tomland Famous Monsters of Legend. I never cared for the first wave and deemed the second series "too rare" to own.

Egads. I just got a Dral outfiit top in the mail... Lord help me I'm obsessed with piecing one together now.

Mego-wise, Mr. Mxyzptlk. I swore to myself I would complete the rest of the WGSH line and leave this spot blank, such was my contempt for the figure, and I even used a few loose outfits as parts for custom figures over the years... then I got a pretty minty T2 one in a lot buy. I'm embarrassed to admit I still need 3/4ths of the Titans, an Isis, and some odds and ends, etc to finish the WGSH - but there Mxy is. Taunting me.

I never thought I'd get into Space:1999 either. But as soon as I find a Carter helmet and a Koenig top, my loose set will be pretty much complete. I even recently put back together a few of the CTVT figures, and I snag palitoy boot bodies when they come up for extra crew.

the first version of mxy is cool. He looks pretty surly, really.

I never really thought I would get into the Heroes of the Revolution. Now I am thinking they have a sort of charm about them.
