Everyone collects something, perhaps many things. I thought it may be fun to see what everyone collects. It can be "normal" or "out there," let's see it!

(Remember, this is a family-oriented site.)

Note: When posting photos, please keep them no larger than 600x450 px. If you must post a larger one, make it a link or it will be deleted.

I'll start with mine:

BJDs (small collection, these are pricey, so I don't go crazy):


3" Vinylmation figures (newest collection, I am just starting):

The one on the far left is a Cast Exclusive Mickey. He is not random like the others. I also have some other little Vinylmation knick-knacks, like pins, ID lanyards, etc. I just love these little guys! I want more stuff! XD

Masks (my favorite collection, and shared with JujuKitten):

Detail images (Left-Right):
Blue Columbina mask (not pictured above), from EPCOT's Italy Showcase, and Juju's Cat Half-mask, a gift from our older sister from when she visited Venice
"Tohru" mask made for me for the 2007 Fantasy Masquerade, a black half-mask made by Juju for the 2008(?) FM, and a white and gold half-mask made by me for the 2006 FM
My music-accented Bauta mask, a gift from older sister from aforementioned trip to Venice, and a copper Columbina mask from the Italy Showcase
My fun Rhinestone Demi-mask from Fredrick's of Hollywood that I fell in love with when shopping for my Dark Mascot accessories, and a hand-mask Juju made for the 2007 FM


I also have a few other collections that I did not feel like getting pictures of, for various reasons, like the items are scattered around, or I just did not feel like it, LOL.
Jiminy Cricket memorabilia
Disney's Cinderella memorabilia
Dale (of Chip n') memorabilia
Dragons, anything Dragons...
Harry Potter memorabilia
Swords/knives/other weaponry

Animation Cells - originals only, not sericells or lithos.

(Top) Heavy Metal (1981) - (Bottom) Disney's Gargoyles (1994-97):


All include the primary art, Heavy Metal also has an original background plate.


(Top) Dragon's Lair (LD Videogame) (1983)- (Bottom) Heavy Metal (1981):


Yes, that's Don Bluth's signature! I actually purchased the cell (and many other pieces) directly from Bluth several years ago.


Missing from these pics (which only include pieces in my office) are a character sheet of Captain Hook (1953) which I need to get authenticated; cells from The Real Ghostbusters (1986-1991) and several from Thundercats (1987-1990). There's probably a several "strays" floating around and I know there are a few on my "wanted list" that I've got my eye on.

With the advent of digital animation (and, before that, digital animating) finding originals is getting harder and harder, not to mention more expensive. I really enjoy collecting cells because of their uniqueness (no two are identical) and rare nature.

I have tons and tons of little knick knacks that I collect, and they're all animals. Siamese cats, dragons, and dogs. There are some birds and other things, but mostly those. My roommate calls me an old woman because of all the little things I have all over the apartment. XD

Just to fix this, I made the black and red one for 2009's FM and blue hand-mask for the 2008 FM. I wasn't even AT METROCON in 2007. =^.^=;;
