I do. I call myself a collector, but that's really just so I can justify to myself buying toys at my age. I collect Revenge of Sith Clone Troopers and related materials and also Transformers and a line called Xevoz which is cancelled and little known but freakin' sweet.

I do, but they're usually only figures I deem as "cool". Such as the new Batman. It was actually kind of hard to find "Normal Batman" of the Batman Begins line. Most of them are all screwed up. I also am adding the female counterparts of the Batman/Superman line. Unmasked Batgirl is a pretty cool figure and a new Supergirl comes out of the DC Heroes line in about a month.
I'm still waiting to get a Cobra Commander doll. Then he Scorpion and Quentin Tarantino can party like it's 1987.

As you probably guessed from some of my comics, I do. I basically buy whatever random figures happen to catch my eye. Recently, it's been various figures from the NECA Cult Classics line.

Starting tonight and for all this week, VH1 is doing another "I Love ..." series; "I love Toys."

I love the "Day in the life of Cobra Commander" segment.
I was struck a little aside with the inclusion of D&D (and relatively low at that) as I regard it as more of a hobby than just a toy.

My room is a complete shrine to anything that contains plastic and has a "Star Wars" logo on it. I also collect whatever horror figures catch my eye (the original McFarlane Movie Maniacs, some of the NECA stuff) and if a new movie is out that has a cool figure line associated with it, I might pick a few up just for kicks.
But yeah, mostly "Star Wars". Everywhere.

I thought a lot of the things they included on that list were borderline as far as being toys. I had also stopped considering a lot of things on that list as being toys and see them more as kitchy junk in this day and age. Hullahoop was number one? What is it, the 1920's?

Going back to Star Wars toys... I saw some action figures at a store that were Star Wars Transformers. They were basically Star Wars vehicles that transformed into robot versions of Star Wars characters. The three I saw were Vader, Obi-Wan, and General Grevious.

Yup, I bought the Grievous one. He's pretty cool, though the other ones are questionable. There's also a Luke/X-Wing, Maul/Sith Infiltraitor, Anakin/Jedi Starfighter, and Boba Fett/Slave I. There's also a Jango/Slave I in his colors, Palpatine/Imperial Shuttle, Clone Trooper/ARC-170 and Han and Chewie who combine into the Falcon planned.

I picked up the Luke/X-Wing Transformer. The idea is great, but I dunno... the thing literally snapped in half in my hands. I feel like the transformations aren't quite as clear-cut as they should be. I never had any trouble with the real TF figures when I was younger. That being said, I've heard the Grievous/Wheel Bike is awesome and I do want to pick it up.

Recently a Goemon doll( Not Lupin), egg toys, and a couple of Final Fantasy Plush dolls. Yeah that last one might sound crazy but I just don't why I did it myself.

I recently got into collecting old MegaMan toys. Rather ironic that I could only afford them right when I'm too old to be playing with them.

Wow, at the local CVS, I've seen some of the official figures, two Cut Men, a dark blue and yellow motif Classic Mega Man, and a Command Mission X.

Yeah, I've seen those too. Right now all I have is Black Zero and Mega Man ZX Zero. What I really want is a Bass or original Mega Man.

Those were cool toys. I used to have Char's Gelgoog and the complete set of the Gundam's from Stardust memory. It's rather funny how little time it takes for three little kids your mom is baby-sitting totake out your door and royally mess them up.

I would've fucked those kids up! Man, the only Gundam toys I have are a GM Ground Unit MG model kit, a Deluxe Transforming Wing Gundam, and beat-to-shit pieces of a Deathscythe Hell Custom (thanks to my brother).

At that point their was little I could've done to them that wouldn't have ended up with me in juvenille untill I was old enough to go to real "Buttpounding" jail. They also wrecked my $200 dollar telescope I had gotten the year my father won a $20,000 dollar lottery in texas.

Lately I have gotten myself into collecting the "retro" line of Mega Man toys. I'll buy pretty much any toy that is even remotely associated with a video game, or at least that's the way it seems lately. A favorite of mine has always been my "G-Type 2" from Resident Evil 2. It is the one with the eyeball in the arm that you can move by a little nub on the back.
What a wonderfully nerdy way to make my first post. Oh well, at least I'm not a spam bot...or am I? No. No I'm not. Just as irritating, though.
