I love to buy them and put them on top of my dresser. Just recently, I bought a Marvel Select Hulk at the mall and a Halo 4 Elite Zealot from Gamestop. Anybody else share my hobby?

I'm not a nerd, but I do collect My Little Ponies. I've been a collector since November of last year. It started because I was obsessed with the Friendship is Magic cartoon for a couple of months, but even though that obsession has really died down, I still enjoy getting new ponies for my collection. My mom says that she can tell that I really like having them around. I'm not picky about the generation they're from or their condition; a lot of them are dirty and have matted/cut hair since I find most of them in thrift stores. All I care about is getting ponies that I don't already have. My collection is currently at around 70 pieces.

I collect movie/tv toys/props/memorabilia.

Mcfarlane, Neca, Imports, Posters, Figs, Variants...... Haven't bought in a while though.... For a few years it was an ongoing special interest.

Sorry about the image size, photobucket is not cooperating.

I also collect computer parts and games, movies and documentaries, lunch boxes, speakers, car parts, food etc etc etc.

I should take some fresh pics, these are old. Also, it was not my idea to go with the "Country Kitchen" look, it was like that when we bought it... We are renovating right now.... the livingroom is up next for deconstruction and rehabilitation. FYI: The wainscotting is PAINTED on.... the rest is sponge paint.... WTFBBQFMLFWP

I used to collect wrestling action figures, and power rangers but I played with them too. I gave them to my friends little brother though.

Nothing wrong with collecting and playing with your toys, it can be fun no matter how old you are :)

I have purchased the entire X-Files action figure set from the first movie, the Plague Doctor from Assassin's Creed (I have no interest in video games; the Plague has always been an obsession of mine and when selecting a bacterial or viral infection for a biology class project, I chose the Plague (in all 3 of its forms) and dressed up as Dottore Peste when giving the presentation), The Walking Dead series of figures, a Rob Zombie figure, the first wave of Star Trek figures, old-school G.I. Joes, 21st Century's line of WWII soldiers, 12-inch Dragon models of German soldiers and weaponry, original Transformers and Beast Wars toys, Trinity, Morpheus and Neo from The Matrix and the entire set of Stargate SG1 figures (including the actual Stargate).
