Unlikely Toy Collectors

[Den82]

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.

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.
