Toy Collection

Toys I think are cool.

I've collected various toys over the years.  The ones I choose either have an interesting design, are quality implementations, or are just remind me of a piece of media that I like.  I only get a couple of toys a year these days.

Most of my toys are in six glass IKEA display cases to keep them out of the way and organized.  The rest are on shelves, bookcases and my desk.  Save for a few large LEGO sets in the living room and a Serenity in the bedroom, they are all in my office.

I've also modified some of the toys featuring battery-operated lights to use hard-wired power, thus allowing the lighting to remain on all the time.

The main collection, stored in and around six IKEA display cases.

Hardwired power on The Dark Knight Batpod and TRON: Legacy Light Cycle (sold).


Star Wars

I'm a fan of many of the designs in the Star Wars universe, especially the vehicles.  One of my display cases is devoted to just these toys.  I used to have more (such as figures), but I thinned them out over time to just the ones I liked the most.

Action Fleet vehicles, all of which came with small figures.  These are all from the early 2000s, around the time the prequel movies came out.

  • Milllenium Falcon

  • X-Wing

  • Y-Wing

  • B-Wing

  • Slave I

  • Imperial Shuttle

  • Snow Speeder

  • Luke's Speeder

  • TIE Bomber

  • TIE Interceptor

  • TIE Advanced

  • Jawa Sand Crawler

  • Bantha

  • Y-Wing

  • Speeder Bikes

  • TIE Striker (Hot Wheels)

  • First Order Star Destroyer

  • Rey's Speeder

Action Figures and Vehicles:  I don't have too many of these.  I had a lot more when I was a kid, but they were quite large and often missing poses, so I sold them.  Again, these are all from the early 2000s.

  • C-3PO (without cover plates)

  • C-3PO (normal)

  • Masterpiece Deluxe R2-D2

  • R2-D2 with lights and sound effects

  • TIE Fighter Pilot

  • Storm Trooper

  • Sand Trooper with Mounted Heavy Cannon

  • Geonosis Warrior

  • Destroyer Droid

  • Darth Vader Force Choke Christmas Ornament with Sounds

Model Kits: I don’t like painting models or applying stickers, but I like building them and the high-level of detail found in them. I only have a few, and usually only because I couldn’t find a pre-assembled and pre-painted high-quality toy.

  • TIE Striker

  • Millennium Falcon, Solo version

  • A-Wing

  • Super Star Destroyer

  • Lando’s Millenium Falcon

Larger Figures.  Only one of these (so far...).

Transformers

My bother and I had a larger collection of first generation  (aka Generation 1, or G1) Transformers, but we sold most of them; they had been heavily played with and weren't in the best condition anymore.  I kept a few, and bought some re-issues and newer designs as well.

Original and Re-Issue Toys

  • Thrust (original, ~1985, missing a tail fin)

Other (non-G1) Transformers Toys

  • Armada: Unicron (sold)

  • Tranformers Generations: Jetfire

Hasbro Pulse Unicron. It’s massive.

GI Joe

My brother and I had a large collection of 1980s era 3.75" GI Joe toys, including the really big toys like the Defiant Space Shuttle Complex, the Terror Drome, and the massive USS Flagg Aircraft Carrier.  We've since sold the vast majority of them; I kept only the motorized MOBAT tank, and bought the brown AWE Striker and Sky Hawk re-issues -- the latter of which we never had, but which I always liked the design of.

  • GI Joe AWE Striker with driver Crankcase (brown re-issue, mid 2000s)

  • GI Joe Sky Hawk with pilot Ripcord (re-issue, mid 2000s)

  • GI Joe MOBAT tank with driver (original, circa 1982)

GI Joe AWE Striker, Sky Hawk and MOBAT.

Batpod, TRON Legacy Light Cycle, LEGO Ghostbusters ECTO-1 and ghost trap.


Batman

I was a big fan of the 1990s era Batman: The Animated Series, as well as the Christopher Nolan Dark Knight movies, so I have a few toys from those:

  • Batman: The Animated Series: Batmobile (green highlights)

  • Batman: The Animated Series: Batman vs. Clayface figures

  • Batman: The Animated Series: Batman

  • Batman: The Animated Series: Robin

  • Batman: The Animated Series: Mr. Freeze

  • Batman: The Animated Series: Joker

  • Batman: The Animated Series: Grey Ghost

I also have some of the more recently released (2014-2015) Batman: The Animated Series and Batman Beyond toys from DC Collectibles.  These have a lot more articulation, detail and accessories than the older early 2000s figures above.  I also hardwired power to the Batmobile so that the lights can stay on all the time.

  • Batman

  • Mr. Freeze

  • Two Face

  • Creeper

  • Roxy Rocket with rocket

  • Clayface

  • Batman from Batman Beyond

  • Old Bruce Wayne and Ace from Batman Beyond

  • Batmobile

  • Batwing

Along with the Animated Series toys, I have a few from the Dark Knight movie trilogy in addition to the LEGO Tumbler mentioned above:

  • The Dark Knight: Batpod and Batman from Hot Toys

  • The Dark Knight Rises: Bat from Revoltech

  • The Batman: Batmobile with lights

Macross/Robotech

I particularly liked the mecha designs from the Macross series, and had a number of toys (mostly Veritech fighters) from it over the years.  I also had the G1 Transformer Jetfire, which was a Super Valkyrie knockoff, but have long since lost track of it.  I also keep hoping they'll release a large-scale Monster destroid...

  • Bandai VF-1 Roy Foker's Valkyrie (reissue, early 2000s)

  • Bandai VF-1S Super Valkyrie (steel blue accents, reissue, early 2000s)

LEGO Sets

LEGO sets are quite fun to build, and some of the designs are rather clever.  I only have a few these days, though, although for the most part they are quite large.

  • Ghostbusters ECTO-1 (21108)
    A rather faithful adaption, complete with all four Ghostbusters.

  • Ghostbusters Firehouse (75827)
    A large model with over 4500 pieces, opening to reveal a playset-style layout with a dozen characters from the movie.
    With LightMyBricks kit.

  • Star Wars Ultimate Millennium Falcon (10179)

    With over 5000 pieces, this was the largest LEGO set ever released at the time (and still the most expensive). It took me a bout a week to assemble, a day of which was just sorting the pieces.
    With customized LightMyBricks kit.

  • Star Wars Super Star Destroy (10221)
    I just really like the design of the Super Star Destroyer.
    With LightMyBricks kit

  • Star Wars Imperial Shuttle (10212)
    A pretty neat kit, with cranks to fold the wings.

  • Star Wars Slave I (75060)
    Boba Fett's ship, with rotating gun.
    With LightMyBricks kit.

  • TIE Fighter (75095)
    With LightMyBricks kit.

  • Dark Knight movie series Tumbler (76023)

  • Optimus Prime (10302)
    With LightMyBricks kit.

  • Back to the Future Time Machine (10300),
    With LightMyBricks kit and fan-made stand.

  • Voltron (21311)

  • Tron: Legacy Lightcycles (21314) (sold)

  • Adventure Time Characters (21308) (sold)

  • Firefly Serenity and Minifigs
    This is a fan made kit with over 2000 pieces that was available for a short time in 2012. The minifies and shuttles were sold separately, but I got them too. The kit is a rather well done replica with three rooms (kitchen, cargo bay and cockpit) and a lot of space inside. This design compromises the structure somewhat, and I had to glue key parts together to keep it solid (by contrast, the Millennium Falcon's interior is mostly heavy-duty structure so that it can support its own weight, but has basically no internal space). The drive section is also quite fragile (glue helped a lot), and features a light brick that makes the whole engine glow when activated.

Model trains

My brother and I would get a model train car each year for Christmas.  I still have mine, as well as some smaller trains and my mom's childhood steam engine and coal car, which weighs around ten pounds by itself.  They are currently displayed on a shelf, but not in a manner that they can be run.

Video Game Toys

Titanfall Stryder titan with CQB pilot, chain gun, rail gun and hard-wired LED lighting.

Toys based on video games designs.  In particular, the Stryder titan from Titanfall was my preferred mech in that game, and I was pretty good with it, making it up to generation 10 with a rank of Platinum 3 (which probably means nothing to most everyone).  I'm just disappointed that I couldn't get it with the arc canon.

  • Portal Talking Plush Turret
    From the Portal video game series.

  • SSV Normandy SR-1
    From the video game Mass Effect.

  • ThreeZero Titanfall Stryder titan with CQB pilot
    From the video game Titanfall by Respawn. Stands 18" tall, and includes a chain gun and rail gun for the titan, and a CAR SMG for the pilot, modified with hardwired power for the LEDs.

  • Metal Gear Rex from Metal Gear Solid
    Modified with hardwired power for the LEDs.


Misc

  • Armed Terrorist Figure
    I got this one because of the stupidity of this toy being banned in the late 1990s. It wasn't because of the ski mask, the assault rifle, the shotgun, or anything else -- it was because he was wearing a trench coat.

  • Battletech Lead Figures
    From back when I played Battletech in middle and high school. I assembled and painted these, and built tiered terrain from styrofoam blocks to play with them on.

  • P-Chan Plush
    From the anime Ranma 1/2.

  • Plasma Cutter
    Half scale, which came with my purchase of the video game Dead Space.

  • Hess Fuel Tanker
    An old Chirstmas present from when I was a kid, these were (and still are, I believe) commonly sold at Hess gas stations.

  • Stikfa Cowboy
    I used to have quite a lot of these, but eventually sold them all on eBay as a lot. I somehow missed this one, so I've kept him around.

  • Super Mario Bros. Vignettes

  • Random Stuffed Animals
    Just some old ones: a fluffy cat, a large blue rabbit, a bison, Snoopy, two small white seals and a grey seal.

Clothing and Accessories

Besides the Nike DeLorean sneakers, I also have a few nostalgic T-shirts, some of which were made into throw pillows using ThinkGeek's T-shirt to pillow set (which they don't seem to sell anymore).

  • AbbyShot Stampede Duster
    I actually have two of these. The first is a dark grey with about twenty pockets sewn in by AbbyShot for me. The second one is black, and has just the standard pockets, which I'd sometimes augment with a Scott eVest.

  • Goldeneye Watch
    From the Nintendo 64 game, a Redittor figured out how to get these made for $7 USD.

  • Vash the Stampede's Sunglasses
    Yellow-tinted glasses with zig-zag frames and a metal carrying case from Trigun.

  • Invader Zim T-Shirt
    I really liked this one, as it had a subtle Irkin logo on the front and no actual text saying "Invader Zim" or anything like that on it. I haven't been able to find a new one; the original was given to me by a friend at Nickelodeon.

  • Autobot Matrix of Leadership T-Shirt
    From the original Transformers series, these were produced by a third party in the early 2000s. Again, these no longer seem to be available.

  • Olthoi T-Shirt
    From when I worked on Turbine's Asheron's Call.

  • Commodore Death Bed Vigil T-Shirt
    Memorializing the death of Commodore, and by extension, the Amiga.

  • Guru Meditation T-Shirt
    These are still available from ErrorWear, and have the infamous system crash message on the front.

  • Amiga T-Shirt
    These are pretty easy to find from a variety of sources, and feature the text Amiga on the front.

BattleTech figures, Super Marrio Bros. vignettes

Lord of the Rings Ring Wraith, Stikfa Cowboy, Robotech Veritech Fighter

Sean from Sean of the Dead, Armed Terrorist, Doctor Who Sonic Screwdrivers.

Various T-shirts turned throw pillows and stuffed or plush toys.
