Thank you very much. I'm glad you liked it. This is a very sad and unfortunate moment you are describing. Of course, it may take some time to put them all back together, but it's never too late if you're thinking of re-collecting.




Thank you very much for visiting my page and sharing your moment. I'm really sorry to hear that. Sometimes, ideas can change in youth. When I look at the photo you shared, I see a really nice collection. A few of these figures are also in my collection. So, are you thinking of collecting Kenner Batman toys again? Is your collection still ongoing? what are you collecting?

I’m not really into collecting old figures, I get the appeal, but it’s not for me, I’ll keep my Kenner collection, but I have no plans to grow it. Throughout my twenties I bought figures sporadically, but in no way was I a collector, and then in 2014 DC Direct started a Batman the Animated Series line, and I couldn’t resist, I loved the cartoon and still had my old figures, so I just went all in. I only collected that for a while and then a few years ago when that line started dying off my eyes wandered, now I collect too much! Currently mostly focused on Necas TMNT cartoon line and their Gargoyles line, I pick up some MOTU Masterverse figures, some McFarlane DC multiverse, and I’ve recently been flirting with the idea of collecting Super 7’s Thundercats line by picking up a couple of those figures.

Here’s a pic of my DC Direct BTAS collection, with a few other DCAU bits thrown in. Did you not fancy getting anything from this line yourself?

I understand. Whichever figures you really like to collect, it is definitely more accurate and fun to collect those figures. Your new batman animated series collection looks amazing. Congratulations.

Actually, I want to collect this new series. However, my first goal is to complete the old kenner series.I will need the budget and time to collect this new series. The Kenner Batman series has a special place for me.

I've been collecting toys for over 20 years. My goal is to create a unique collection that brings together old toys and new toys.

Congratulations again on your collection.

Nice to see Wonder Woman breathing fresh air! And I LOVE that Snoopy on motorcycle.

There was no getting that smell out of my PEZ buddies, so I had to throw them all away.

Oh man, that sucks. That's what I've always feared about my collection, that something will happen to it before I get the time/chance to sell the old stuff. Those Pez dispensers are pretty collectible as well, I believe there's a collector's market out there and some of them do worth a bit of money.

I think you have the coolest PEZ dispenser collection I've ever seen! And lots of other great stuff as usual

Thank you very much for your comment. I'm glad you liked it. PEZ Dispensers are really fun to collect.

I continue to make my collection in a planned way because there is almost no space left on my shelves anymore. On the one hand, I started to think of new shelf ideas. For more than a few hours a day, I think about what I can do in the room by using my imagination, I take notes and I aim to create a new section by making small drawings. I hope I can make it. Thank you very much again.

Hello everyone again. A few new figures and objects were added to the collection this week. The very different, funny 1987 Spanish production Rambo figure that I wanted to add to my collection for a long time is now in the collection.

Many figures of Toy Island, one of my favorite companies, are in my collection and a new one has been added to these figures. A soldier figure from the "Voice Squad" series. He has speech button features and is a very detailed large figure.

Added 1 new small batman figure to the Batman shelf. Also, the cloakless batman figure now has a cape.

Lanard Soldier, Ninja turtles, Obelix, Power Rangers, Yugioh 1996 tin card box and Nestle World Cup figures are among the additions to the collection.

Finally, the Spiderman Wall Crawler figure and Fantastic four figure from 1997, produced by Toybiz, were added to the collection. These figures are soft plastic and stretch when pulled. However, I could not see any brand on the Fantastic four figure.

By the way, I have a Dr Doom figure in its box, which has been in my collection for a long time. I want to make a decision based on the comments and ideas from here. Do you think it would be better for me to open this figure and display it in the collection, or would it be a better decision to sell it? Thank you so much.

[Arachnid13]

It depends on if you like the character, if so then open that bad boy, if not then sell him and use the profits to buy something you really like.

Hope I could be of some help!

[Cyclopswc]

On one hand, that Doom looks like he's in really good package condition! On the other hand, that's from the movie, so I'm not sure he'd fetch much money.

I say open it and enjoy it!

I agree, but I'm just undecided. Thank you very much for help and your idea.

I'm a little undecided. But I think it's time to open the box. Thank you very much for your ideas and help.

I had a Shredder figure that I bought a long time ago. It does not belong to any brand. The brand does not write. Today I decided to do a custom work and started. I will share the steps.

[K Dubious]

I looked into secondary prices on that figure and it boils down to if you want to display it or not.

You can get one loose complete for under $10 shipped or you can get a brand new one for around $20 or less shipped.

It being tied to an "older" movie with a shrinking fanbase means that value will likely only go down overtime, especially if they release another FF movie with current levels of detail.

I understand. Thank you so much for your advice and help. Yes, I bought this figure a long time ago, I even bought the fantastic four figure along with this figure. Actually, it's a series that doesn't interest me much, but I think it would be nice to have it in the collection. Thanks a lot again.

[veryfigurefan]

A few photos.

[Arachnid13]

Wow, looks like he’s coming along very nicely!

Shelf Update

Meanwhile, a new figure has been added to the pirates shelf.

[veryfigurefan]

I have completed the project. Since the plastic of the figure is not of very good quality, I tried a few paints. Some parts are very fragile.

I made a new cape for the figure, but it was not easy to put on. In general, I think the figure looks good.

Oh yeah, the weapon, cape and the shoulder spikes definitely made the figure!

Hello to everyone. I'm here again after a short break. Life is going very busy for me right now. However, I continue my toy collection.

I found a place for a few toys waiting in the boxes and started to display them on the shelves. In addition, many new toys have been added to the collection.

By the way, happy new year everyone.

[Cyclopswc]

Welcome back!

I think everyone's been busy over the holidays.

Dilbert! I used to have a Dilbert and Dogbert in my work office, but when I moved office 2 years ago, they disappeared. Probably packed in one of the boxes that got misplaced. Now I want to find them!

What is that mailman character?

Sorry to hear that. I hope you can find dilbert characters.

This character's name is Postman Pat. A cartoon series prepared with England's famous stop motion technique. I think the first part was published in 1981. I met this character with the Commodore 64 computer game. I played Postman Pat for hours on the C64 platform. Also, this game music was very good.

It took a long time for me to find it as it is a UK specific character. Now I have 2 figures, 1 book and 1 VHS tape about Postman Pat.

Thank you.

2 new photos from my collection.

There was also a arcade and fun saloon that I visited with my brother and little niece last summer. This visit was the last time we saw that hall and it is now closed. I'm glad I took pictures of these old gaming machines. They will remain as a beautiful memory for me. Especially Batman vehicles have been my favorite since childhood.

[Cyclopswc]

Man, I LOVE those kids ride-ons! Growing up, my parents would never give us money to put in those things, but my siblings and I still have fun just sitting in it and pretending it moves. When I had my first son, he was actually scared when it moved, so he would sit in them but ask us NOT to put money in, which is fine - as a parent, that saves me money. ha ha. Those things are great, I'm glad you got to take some pics before that place closed.

A actually carded and protected Star Wars figure? That's not like you. ha ha.
