The Toy Collecting + Figure Photography Thread

A thread for us forever-kids who dig this sort of thing to talk toys, figure photography, collections, etc. Show yours off, I wanna see em.
Obviously not my photos (you can find some of those in the thread), but look at these things:

Friggin neat. I should preface this thread by saying I tend to lean toward nostalgic properties/toys and I'm not all that "in" on the figure collecting scene. There are just certain pieces that I need and this TMNT/Power Rangers mash up is like smashing two huge aspects of my 90s kid childhood into one gorgeous project. Only one I'm not mega into is Tommy as the Foot Clan soldier (the Tommy head isn't in the photo). I dig that they brought at least one Power Ranger character into the TMNT world instead of vice versa but Tommy doesn't strike me as a Foot guy. That Shredder/Green Ranger mash up is a legit dream fig though.
But yah, share photos of your stuff or just talk about the toys (upcoming or retro) that interest you, etc etc.

Here’s my budding trading card collection. Used to have a ton as a younger fella but those all fell by the wayside. Figured just flipping through my binder in quick gif form would be easier than posting a ton of photos. Starts with my LOST cards, followed by a full set of retro Savage Dragon cards, and then my recently purchased AEW cards (snagged a blaster box from both the 2021 and 2022 sets).

I used to love those Marvel cards that would make a full page when you had all 9. Brings me back.

How did you turn that into a gif?

I just used the iphone app and uploaded. Nice and easy.
Anyhow, I live upstairs from my buddy. One of his dogs passed away about 2 months ago so I’ve been bringing his other dog up here every day to hang out with my cat and dog so she won’t feel lonely, since I work remotely from home. To thank me, he surprised me with this bad boy. Friggin badass, and now I desperately want to get more of the figures in this cartoony style.

Holy crap I really do need to actually open the figures I buy more often. I felt like a legitimate child opening and posing this sucker.

Jagwar joined the party, now I’m only missing Dreadmon from this specific TMNT line. Really hope they announce the actual turtle figures soon.

Yah I love the figures based off the Mirage comics, there’s a few I’d love to snag but I don’t wanna go down that wormhole. Sticking to the Archie comics line, and only ever started in the first place because my pal gifted me Man Ray haha. Plus the turtles in that Mirage line have the classic red mask look, so it’s just like buying 4 of the same figure. Holding out for whatever other figures release in this Archie line, whenever the heck that may be.

Do any of yall have any “holy grail” toys? I have a few from my childhood that I’d love to get back. Off the top of my head:
1. 1993 TMNT Giant Mutations Donatello
2. Mighty Max - Storms Dragon Island
3. Mighty Max - Trapped in Skull Mountain
4. Batman Returns - 12-16 inch Batman figure (not sure on height)
5. SWAT Kats - T-Bone and Razor

Nothing huge here but figured I’d post them up anyhow. My buddy’s a mad man with collecting figures, especially turtles figures, and snags any he finds whether he has them or not. He gifted me these 4 classic TMNT figures yesterday because they were doubles in his collection. Incomplete but still neat to have. Leo, Raph, Rat King & Muckman.
