A general discussion of collecting cool things.
I went hunting for pop culture collectibles at the D.C. Big Flea this weekend. This show comes around a few times a year and is filled with antique furniture, jewelry, and glassware, but there are usually a few good booths of toys and memorabilia.
My favorite booths are easy to spot. They’re bright and colorful, and [...]
It’s official. Detective Comics #27 is now the most expensive comic book ever sold. An anonymous collector shelled out a whopping $1,075,500.00 for the first appearance of Batman. The comic had a grade of VF 8.0 on a scale of 10, making it one of the finest copies in the world. From the Heritage press [...]
Alright, I’ve scrounged around in the sofa cushions and raided my kid’s piggy bank — $18.34. I don’t think that’s going to be enough to bid on the copy of Detective Comics #27 up for auction at Heritage. The price currently stands at $425,000.00 which is a record for a comic book auction. Sure, Supes [...]
As a child of the 80’s, I wanted to be Daniel-san and kick some blond-headed Cobra Kai patootie. I practiced that stupid crane kick for hours, but luckily never had to use it in a real fight.

Some collectors believe the most valuable version of a movie poster is the one released in the same country that the movie was released in, but after seeing some of these Japanese one sheets, I tend to disagree. Check out the Army of Darkness or The [...]
From the WETA folks:
We’re very proud and excited to be able to announce a range of limited edition collectibles from District 9, Neill Blomkamp’s acclaimed 2009 movie.
The collectibles are of course created by the same artists and craftspeople who created the original designs, props and creatures in the movie.
I just hope that there’s a Wikus [...]
Sideshow Toys recently announced their latest addition to the Star Wars collection: You’re Going To Regret This – Princess Leia VS Jabba The Hutt Diorama. This detailed piece captures the classic Star Wars scene as the enslaved Leia (in every fanboy’s favorite costume) fulfills her promise to the big guy. This sculpture would make a stunning [...]
Who knew zombies were popular in 1952? This incredible poster is up for auction this week at emovieposter.com. Zombies of the Stratosphere was a Republic Serial with 12 chapters. I am an absolute sucker for Republic movie posters, and this is a great one – zombies, spaceships, a robot a with fireman’s axe – I [...]
Just in time for Christmas, Mattel is re-releasing the greatest hero of the Masters of the Universe Classics series. He-Man, the most powerful man in the universe, was a huge success last year, so Mattel reworked him a bit and will re-release him on November 18, but only on the MattyCollector.com web site.
