OT: What else do you collect?
hey basketball fiends, thought this would be a fun thread, and a great way to see what others are interested in aside from basketball cards.
Basically its as simple as the title, show what else you collect!
I'll start with a few examples.
first up is a couple of designer vinyl toys, the first image is a kidrobot dunny, these come in a blindbox, similar to packs of cards, you dont know what your getting.

next is a bit of a grail of mine.

I also collect action figures, and zombies, these are from sideshow toys the Dead series.

and finnally I love lowbrow art, like concert/gig posters, rare prints, graffiti art etc... heres a print done by Jacob Bannon, lead singer of Converge.

And believe it or not, thats not all I collect, I also collect records, antiques, art glass, indie comics, and ofcourse anything related to the Hellboy comics and movies, so now you all know why Im always broke, now lets see what you guys/gals collect.

Cool stuff man! I take it you're a Converge fan?
I don't really collect anything aside from sports cards/memorabilia. I am a bodybuilding/supplement nut, so I GUESS you could call the amount of that kind of stuff I buy a collection haha. I also pick up hardcore/punk vinyl once in awhile.Last edited by AllTheMemories; 05-18-2011 at 02:07 PM.

Yeah, definately one of my favorite bands, I pick up the ocassional vinyl record from time to time, although Ive been trying to cut down on my spending habits.
freaky yes, but super cool, as for the vinyl, the disny ones are put out by vcd/disney, that one is just one of a couple disney pieces I want, theyre usually a collaboration with popular artists, the dunny's are totally different, and released By Kidrobot, and are annual series with the same bunny templet, then painted and sculpted by numerous artist, mainly grafitti artists, poster artists, etc...
the dunny's are totally different, and released By Kidrobot, they can be purchased at many art/designer vinyl toysites, or right at kidrobot.com and are annual series with the same bunny templet, then painted / sculpted by numerous artist, mainly grafitti artists, poster artists, etc...
They actually kind of started a whole new collector toy revolution, and have spawned many new designer vinyl/ art toy creators, some of which can get into $1,000's of dollars, its mainly a way to get a cool piece of art at a more affordable price, if you like the disney stuff though, also check out the stitch series of vinyl figures, customized by numerous artists, some real cool,off the wall designs.
not to familiar with them, have to check them out.
