A general discussion of collecting cool things.
A Collection a Day #31 – Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles TMNT, originally uploaded by Cool and Collected. If you are a child of the 80′s there’s a pretty good chance you had some of these green guys in your toy box. Some of us still have one or two, as you can see in the [...]
A Collection a Day #26 – Toy Story’s Buzz Lightyear , originally uploaded by Cool and Collected. The latest Toy Story movie just opened with huge numbers and its merchandise is clogging all the toy store shelves. There have been quite a few Buzz Lightyear action figures and dolls since the first movie was released, [...]
A Collection a Day #21 – Iron Man, originally uploaded by Cool and Collected. When I was 14, there were these really great places called “comic book shops.” They sold amazing, colorful things, but alas, they are now very rare – nearly extinct. If you happen to see one in the wild, by all means [...]
A Collection a Day #20 – Halo’s Master Chief, originally uploaded by Cool and Collected. One day I was thinking how much time I spend playing Halo (and still do) and it dawned on me that this Master Chief guy could very well be a serious collectible of tomorrow. What other entertainment franchise has a [...]
A Collection a Day #19 – 80′s Action Figure Heroes, originally uploaded by Cool and Collected. The new A-Team and Karate Kid movies are being released in the theaters today, so I thought a fitting tribute would be to show you some of my action figures from the 80′s. You remember the 80′s don’t you? [...]
A Collection a Day #15 – Batman toys, originally uploaded by Cool and Collected. I have this large shadow box that I have filled with small Batman toys, pinbacks, Pez dispensers, watches, and anything else that I happen to find that is small and related to Batman. I really like how this displays since I [...]
A collection a day – Superman, originally uploaded by Cool and Collected. I seem to have a lot of Superman items laying around. I didn’t set out to collect Superman items, it just seemed to happen. I’d see something in a yard sale box and think it looked pretty cool, and before I knew it, [...]
They say gamblers get on a hot streak, well I am on a yard sale hot streak. I love this time of year. Every neighborhood in the DC suburbs is holding community yard sales every Saturday, and I have been finding some really great stuff. This past weekend I struck action figure gold. It’s not [...]
My head hurts. Look at these pictures and you’ll know why. This guy in Texas (I am assuming he’s a guy since no woman on earth would ever have a collection like this) is selling his entire action figure collection on eBay. This has to be one of the largest action figure collections ever assembled. [...]
“Holy crap. Holy crap. Holy crap.” That’s what I will be whispering to myself while cowering under the covers once these figures are in my house. Bif Bang Pow! is going to produce these figures in the vintage Mego-style, but you can bet there will be some YouTube videos recreating scenes from Child’s Play. You can [...]
