What do you collect?

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.

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.

**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

**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!

) 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?

**Kali** · 02-06-2002, 06:49 PM

Raph loves camo!

**Machias Banshee** · 02-06-2002, 06:54 PM

Gooooooooood

**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.
