Does anyone collect comics other than TMNT? I do! I like Spider-Man! Plus I'm starting up on the all new Ultimates series from Marvel! What does everyone else collect?

Kali 01-30-2002 01:45 PM

I used to collect Lady Death and Purgatory, but not really anymore.

HorseTechie 01-30-2002 04:28 PM

Heh... yep, I collect the Mirage TMNT comics. I nearly have all the Mirage ones, I have the complete Vol 2 color run that Lawson did too. I also got a good number of the collected books, and the Challenges book, signed by Michael Dooney.

I had collected the Image TMNT comics, until they started getting really weird. :razz:

I only have a few of the TMNT Archies though, since there were sooo many.

As far as other comics go, I like Usagi Yojimbo, Xmen, and whatever else catches my fancy.

I also like collecting TMNT movie stuffs: like the comic books, the graphic novel, posters, trading cards, press release photos, and even the movie scripts. I also have some of the movie star figures that were released.

Aside from TMNT, I like collecting model horse figures and unique turtle (real and TMNT) figures. As of late, I've also like the action figures McFarlane does. Sweeet...! I hope to get more figures for Lord of the Rings and Crouching Tiger:Hidden Dragon.

hmm i only collect TMNT and thats about it, everything i earn goes straight to TMNT, computers and bills. I don't have any other money lying around to start collecting two things

Kali 02-04-2002 09:39 AM

Oy, lack of funds, that's why I had to give up Chaos when I rediscovered TMNT.

HorseTechie 02-04-2002 10:50 AM

heh.. I just budget my extra spending money on my fandoms evenly. I just buy the absolute best of each area (instead of everything in one area). ;p

Explains why I only have 3 of the four movie turtle figures, 2 of the TNM figures, and 2 of the LotR figues.... *heheh*

Ratking 02-04-2002 05:14 PM

oh i have lots and lots of TMNT, but i only collect the figures and vids, not games, books, soft toys etc.

I have alot in their packets.

Skeletoncrew 02-05-2002 01:32 AM

TMNT-wise I've just started buying the Mirage and Image comics. Although I loved them when I was younger, I really didn't have any of the stuff. I've always been very self-concious and was somehow embarrassed about how much I liked them, so I never really bought anything. Now I'm almost 24 and I've finally decided to give in and buy the comics no matter what anyone thinks! If I'm a geek, so be it!

Otherwise, I've always been a collector. I have Kachinas, pottery, jewelry, old coins, gemstones, books, Enchantica, Windstone, crystals, David Bowie stuff (lots of David Bowie stuff), Brian Froud books, and action figures (with a special focus on Army of Darkness figures).

****, you must have alot of money lying around.........do you have one of those "new trees"....uno the ones where money grows off them?

Machias Banshee 02-06-2002 06:08 PM

Lets see... i have a bunch of Archies, the three movies, The graphic adaption of the third movie, and, an archie Turtle's digest.

On the non-Tmnt stuff, i have dolphins, dinosaurs, Celtic stuff, and in my extremely free time, i collect bread bag twisties to make sculptures. :grin:

Machias Banshee 02-06-2002 06:33 PM

No im not insane. It first started as an art project, but i found that it was a good stress releaser, so i kept it up. I have one T-rex and i'm working on a stegosaurus. Well, maybe i am insane :eyemouth:

Kali 02-06-2002 06:41 PM

Ooh! Art projects! Yeah! I love art projects! I was just painting yesterday and was saying to myself, "I should do this more often."

Why do I have the sudden urge to paper mache'? (I can feel the topic slipping...)

Machias Banshee 02-06-2002 06:48 PM

(i sense it as well...)

But yeah, i've been drawing and other stuff since 4th grade. My roommate has her scanner working (finally! :grin: ) so i'm hoping to get some of my srt up soon. Krang said he'd host them for me. Luv ya Krangie! i got one picture of the five guys in some good outfits, called 'Here's to the Guys We Love'. You think Raph likes Camo? :grin:

Kali 02-06-2002 06:49 PM

Raph loves camo!

Machias Banshee 02-06-2002 06:54 PM

Gooooooooood :evilgrin:

Kali 02-06-2002 06:56 PM

Psst, let's go to the "missing dolls" thread. It's a designated random thread.

Machias Banshee 02-06-2002 06:57 PM

ok.

Oh don't I wish! No, I just started young. My parents gave me a generous allowance, then when I hit 16 I got a part time job...its easy to collect stuff when you're living at home. I also ran my own online jewelry business. (Still kinda do.) Now I'm a regular working stiff like everyone else.

HorseTechie 02-07-2002 10:25 AM

*nods* Gotta love the corpoate benefits that make the cash flow so much more sweeter.

Is it a scary thing that I have more of my collectables scattered about my cubicle at work, than I do at home? Heck... prolly cuase don't have any room in my wee little apartment -- thanks to my husband's obsessions with DVDs and books hogging all the shelf space.

Skeletoncrew 02-11-2002 05:21 PM

I got some LOTR action figures today! The Boromir v. Lurtz two pack! I can't get Boromir to work quite right, but Lurtz rocks! He fires arrows! (Yeah, I know, I'll shoot my eye out!)

Just had to share!

azure turtle 02-11-2002 07:21 PM

Wow, seems like everyone's collecting LOTR action figures. Maybe I should start, too...

RaphRockz 02-11-2002 08:18 PM

my friend has LOTR figs, they look kool, but I collect hot wheels, turtle stuff, and car memorabilia.

Skeletoncrew 02-12-2002 01:09 AM

I'm an ecclectic when it comes to action figures. I have some X-files, Jay and Silent Bob, Draco from Dragonheart, all of the McFarlane Army of Darkness ones, and now a few LOTR.

MikeRaphGrl 02-12-2002 07:03 PM

I collect Magic cards and dice so far. I'm mad because I have no clue where my old TMNT figures went.

Skeletoncrew 02-13-2002 02:52 AM

Heh heh heh. That reminds me, I've got a TON of Magic cards in my closet too!

Machias Banshee 02-13-2002 12:52 PM

What is LOTR? Wait nevermind, i think i know.

Dude! I loved playing Magic. I stopped several years ago, since I couldn't find any more opponents. I still have two small boxes full of magic cards. Ah, the memories. :smile:

Kali 02-13-2002 08:37 PM

Yeah, I still have my small deck of Magic cards. I haven't even taken them off the shelf in years.

Machias Banshee 02-13-2002 08:42 PM

I never played Magic, or any of that kind of stuff. The most complicated gome i have ever really played was Monopoly. I lived a sheltered life...

Kali 02-13-2002 08:45 PM

Ever play the TMNT Pizza Power board game?

Machias Banshee 02-13-2002 08:53 PM

No. *hides from bappage*

Kali 02-13-2002 08:56 PM

It was a hard game! I got a game last summer and it took me an hour to figure out the instructions. I swear it made more sense when I was eight.

azure turtle 02-13-2002 09:36 PM

I couldn't resist taking a short study break :grin: The Pizza Power board game?! Sweet mother of pearl! I forgot I had that. It's sitting at home, underneath my bed. I haven't played that game in years. I used to play all the time with my cousins.
*feels a sudden wave of nostalgia*
It's a weird game, but I love it nonetheless.
*gets knocked on his shell from the wave*
Grrr...! Don't ya hate it when that happens?

Kali 02-13-2002 09:39 PM

LOL! Yep, weird game. I still play it with my siblings every now and then. While we're watching my TMNT tapes. :grin:

I got mine used from a flea market, and the only piece that was missing was that blue launcher thing.

azure turtle 02-13-2002 09:42 PM

Wow! I bought mine at a Toy's R Us, back in the day. I think I still have all the pieces, but they show a lot of wear and tear. My cousins and I played this game often :smile:

coolmike1586 02-13-2002 11:17 PM

HOLY BUCKETS i fergot i had that game too, mine is still wrapped up! HA thats kewl didnt know that

Nickokapo 02-14-2002 04:50 PM

You should! They're so cool! And I don't care if people think Legolas is gay, I like how his arrows shot too. Or how Sam wacks at these dorky orcs in the wall with his sword n pan.

Reminds me of those TMNT figures that flip when you push down on them, or does karate chops and stuff. I wish I could find more of those... :smile:

azure turtle 02-15-2002 03:28 PM

Aya! Another hobby to add to my already growing list :wink: And ya, I remember those "action" turtle figs! I think my cousin used to have one before it broke, but I can't remember. Curses, I must start collecting turtle figs before many other fans start becoming nostalgic :grin:
