Actor Daniel Roebuck has an amazing collection of classic movie monsters/sci-fi toys and memorabilia. So much stuff that he turned his home into a museum. He recently decided to sell off most of his collection because he came to the realization that collecting was consuming precious time that he could otherwise be spending with his wife and kids.

Anyone know who was the GI Joe collector on That 70's Show? Was it Topher Grace or someone else? They featured prominently in Eric's room.

I imagine his toys were written as part of the show. So I'd guess the prop department, or someone lent some or bought some (having knowledge of iconic things from the 70s) to dress the set.
