Partially because it's fairly late, and partially because I'm curious to see what other people here collect or have as hobbies, aye, I'm throwing myself under the bus to kickstart this whole thread and to reveal just how crazily hopeless I am in my own collecting. While the subtitle is indeed what it is, obviously this is just to show what I have - and I'd hope no one here is pathetic enough to get off from bragging on the internet. o_O But aye, this is just for fun, and I'm also bored. So nyah.



Well, I guess I'll get this part out of the way first - my few video game figures, mostly Final Fantasy. We've got Tifa from both Advent Children and FFVII proper, Aerith from the latter, and Cloud from the former. Squall, Team Y.R.P. Ashe, and Judge Gabaranth, as well as Ivy and Nightmare from Soul Calibur II and Mai Shiranui from the King of Fighters...though this one's from SNK vs. Capcom Chaos. Also ineplicably here is Hellboy. Why? No clue.



My Marvel Legends and DC Universe figures, something I tried to stay away from for awhile but eventually caved and gave into. We've got Batman, Robin, Batgirl, Nightwing, Joker, Superman, Supergirl, Steel, Lex Luthor, Darkseid, Spider-man, Mary Jane, Green Goblin, Dr. Octopus, New Goblin, Sandman, black suit Spider-man (amazingly not just a repaint) Venom (all the Spidey figures are the movie versions), Ultiamte Wolverine, X3 Jean Grey, X3 Colossus, Cyclops, Rachel Summers, She Hulk, Dr. Doom, Ultimate Iron Man, the Mark I and Mark III suits from the Iron Man movie, as well as Iron Monger. Oh, and also Pepsi Optimus Prime (which was far too goofy for me to pass up) and, uh, Darth Vader that turns into the Death Star. It was a gift from a friend.



Underneath the Twilight Princess poster here we have Voltron (plastic version, since I wasn't going to drop $170.00 on a toy) as well as....other stuff. Yeah, the robot unicorn and robot dragon, woooo.



Next to'em we have Masterpiece Starscream and my Decepticon Alternators - T's that transform into real cars. There's Battle Ravage the Corvette convertible, Shockwa....I mean, "Shockblast" the Mazda RX-8, Rumble the Honda Civic, and Ravage, fittingly, as a Jaguar XK. You can also see Megatron as a Cobra tank in here as well.



Okay, now to the bulk of the collection. This is my Cybertron Deluxe class shelf, Autobots to the left, Decepticons to the right, as it will be for the rest of my shelves. You can see all of'em, but it's Excelion, Longrack, Smokescreen, Hot Shot, Landmine, Red Alert, Downshift, Armorhide, Blurr, Brakedown GTS, Swerve, Hightail, and Override for the Autobots. Decepticons are Thundercracker, Thunderblast, Sideways, Wreckloose, Repugnus, Swindle, both the red & yellow Scrapmetals, Ransack GTS, Brimstone, Cannonball, Skywarp, and Demolisher.

Here's my Armada and Energon collection - Scorponok, Bruticus Maximus, Constructicon Maximus, Sixshot, Thundercracker (Starscream), Demolisher, Slugslinger, Sharkticon, Cyclonus, Starscream, and Cruellock. Plus, Landmine, Superion Maximus, Arcee, Strongarm, Downshift, Hot Shot, Kicker with Highwire, Rodimus, Inferno, Roadblock, Prowl, Towline, and Red Ale - erm, Inferno.

The Animated shelf, as opposed to Transformers who aren't animated. Right. Anyway, Cybertron mode Megatron, Earth mode Megatron, Blitzwing, Lugnut, Starscream, Soundwave, Blackarachnia, Lockdown, Oil Slick, the Headmaster Unit, Grimlock, Swoop, Snarl (Slag), Sentinel Prime, Jazz, Bulkhead, Cybertron Optimus Prime, Earth Prime, Ratchet, Prowl, and Bumblebee.

I'll spare everyone the pain of going through my mini-cons, or the stuff I don't keep out on display.

And if anyone thinks my collection is obsessive....well, I beg to differ.


So yes, that'd be my infamous Transformers collection as of today. Soooooooo.....what do you collect?

[SteveT]

I started playing Magic: The Gathering a few months ago.

I think that about covers it.

[Raien]

I have a stamp collection and a comic-book collection (made of Ultimate Marvel and Batman).

[deep]

I've got about 150 CDs. If I had money, it'd be over 200 by now.

But they're not nearly as impressive looking as your stuff, DJ.

[Twinrova]

Uhm. I have a giraffe collection that is steadily growing as my bank account dies.. 9__9;; I would take pictures but I don't have the energy to get it all together right now. And I need to go grocery shopping. x{

[Selena]

I don't have a camera, but I collect aircraft models/toys/whathaveyou.


It's a very small collection, though, since I'm cheap. XD

[Green Goblin]

Well, mine isn't nearly as big as DJ's, but here's what I got. Keep in mind, This was taken with teh webcam on my Macbook, so it's more than a notion getting the angle and lighting right

Noticing a theme

I've got my Beast Wars toys in my closet spread out along the floor, but there's not enough light to get a decent shot.

[Chikara Nadir]

I have a couple hundred manga and a little over a dozen action figures...but they're all at home and I'm off at college, so I can't add to the picture collection. And suddenly, I'm shocked and glad at how "little" I've spent on my habits.

[Raien]

Admittedly, I'm one of those people who buys practically no merchandise, but on the odd occasion when I do get something, it'll be because it looks particularly nice (i.e. my Samus Varia Suit figurine).

[Renegade]

Im in the same boat as chik here.
I have a library-esque collection of manga that is now in storage with a lot of my other stuff due to the fact that im going to boot camp for the U.S. Navy on the 18th of this month.

[Billy Goat]

Whoa RSR good luck on the navy!


But the only thing I have collected are my old Pokemon cards. I still have the ones from when they first came out.

[Green Goblin]

Same here, my friend. Every base, Jungle, Fossil and Rocket type and several Neos.

[Chiaki]

I have a collection of Nintendo toys from when I was younger, as well as a collection of Jigglypuff stuff (they both shared a shelf in my room) but then we moved, so now all the stuff is in storage. I also had a box full, of Beanie Babies and Teeny Beanies (and I think even a couple Beanie Buddies), which is also in storage. Not anywhere near the collection my mom had though.
I do still collect toys though, whenever I get the chance. I have those Zelda figurines that I got off Ebay a few months ago, and I have all the Japanese Zelda mangas that have come out. I picked up a Toon Link plushie at Kumoricon, and I also have a couple Wiimote candy dispensers I got from Walgreens.
I also have a small collection of stuffed animals that I like (pretty much wolves and cats).

I wish I had room to display them, but my grandma's extensive collection of mystery, history, and hockey books fills up nearly every shelf in the house x.x

[Showsni]

I have a collection of books, I suppose, if that counts. But I'm not at home to take photos. And it really annoys me that since I moved bedrooms I haven't had a chance to organise them properly. Up to the Cs are organised, and that filled two of the bookshelves I have...
Also, you could include my collection of Magic: the Gathering cards, I guess. I don't have pictures of all of it... But here's some of it, from last year:


And I guess you could count computer games as a collection. And LotR SBG figures from GW. And I have a collection of bookmarks, and pogs. Pokémon cards. Bottlecaps. A stamp collection I inherited, a rather poor coin collection. Postcards, maybe. Old birthday cards. Schoolwork going back to Reception. I don't like throwing things away.

[Alardonin]

... ... ... My room is so pathetically boring <__<.

I don't have anything interesting to show, except perhaps books (but who wants to see that anyway) . Not to mention that most of them are stored somewhere other than my room(not enough space).

I know someone though, that has a pretty decent collection of Marvel and DC figures(mostly marvel)... not to mention comics. His dad is a huge fan, so he mostly took the interest from him. The type of collection that you seriously consider stealing... enough to support you for the rest of your life.

[ninja kitten]

i have a small collection of various animes (about 15-20 complete series), but that's pretty much it. otherwise i really dont collect stuff. crazy eh?

[Egann]

I collect anime and manga on my computer. That count?

I have enough anarchy files on my computer to make Bill Ayers look like a small fry. That count, either?

[SnowsilverKat]

I have a lot of coffee table style art books, but most of them are in storage.

I also like to collect 'unusual' plush critters - I have a bunch of dragons, Toad from Super Mario, an ant, robot and doggy Gir, a camel, two Lyme Disease bacteria, a Prinny, and a bunch of other critters in storage again. If I remember a photograph I'll post it.

[Sir Deimos]

i have an assload of videogames and swords/weapons...

a display katana (shiny!)
a display reverse-blade katana (hearty, but not very pretty...)
a functioning katana (razor sharp! and as close to authentic as i'll get for awhile, complete with real temper line!)
a POS scimictar
a display spear (chinese style! although i really want one of those japanese cross bladed yari's (i forget the term))
a display tai chi
a display broadsword
a display mastersword replica (i won it for 2 bucks! w00t video game store raffles!)
one pair: nunchaku
a butterfly knife, that i'm moderately proficient in flourishing
a 4 set of different designed shurikens (that i have fun with thanks to a cork dart board!)
a bokken (for fun/jackassery!)
a scythe (possibly antique and worth money, the handle-dealy, although missing the pegs, is crafted from a bent piece of wood that would have had to be molded after soaking it in water, and twisting the wood, then clamping said wood so it would harden that way)

i think thats all...

on the horizon:
a wakizashi as well made as my good katana
a shirasaya as well made as my good katana


i also have a pretty ballin airsoft gun. its modelled after a modified Mauser, with a longer barrel and stock, all metal and rosewood, with green gas it shoots about 400fps

i also have a Death Note xD i couldnt resist... its pretty cool too, very collectible, so i wont be writing in it at all xD, plus, it has all the rules written out! there are some 40 plus!

*Well.. the only thing I would say I "collect" are stuffed cows ;3 I dunno how long ago..or when exactly it happened buuuut my mom or something like that bought me my first cow and yeah it has now ended with me getting a new cow for every major holiday (including my bday) for probably more than 8 years..not to mention she seemed to have gotten me one for the random times i came back from college or just when she happens to find a really cute one for sale at a thrift store xD in fact she did that just like a week ago.

*I also have a small collection of video game/anime figurines though..it isnt very large xD

*there is also..my small collection of Ducks (CHIK YOU COLLECT THESE TOO NOT TO MENTION FISH) XD that i got from my Campus xD

*I also..though I dunno if you want to call it COLLECTING but I guess i call it that xD my collection of probably some several hundred books and manga.since I tend to buy a lot that I want and never read them xD that is why I would say "collecting"

[Chikara Nadir]

Posted this last night, but it appears that the server clearing killed it. Yay Johnny Depp.



Yes...I suppose I have a LITTLE bit of a ducky collection. I'm forcing Toan's own collection to grow hugely all the time, though.

Also, forgot about my hundred or so Magic cards, and the (just about lifesize) Squirtle pillow that resides on my bed at home.

[Hana-Nezumi]

Additions to my collection? :D

[wisp]

I had a massive CD collection but nearly all of it was stolen earlier this year. ;_;

I have a few collectible figurines, but not nearly as many as DJ. I've got Armitage from Armitage III, two different ringwraith figurines from LotR, Kuchiki Byakuya from Bleach, Ringo Starr from Yellow Submarine, and the tall apple dropping dude from Yellow Submarine.

I don't have pictures of them right now so I'll put the stock images behind a cut (this is almost all of them):

I will also be inheriting a collection of frog figurines from my grandfather after he dies. It's an epic collection of frogs. XD
