Toys galore!

[diet_orange]

So, let's talk about toys, action figures, dolls, whatever you want to call them; new and old

Some of my favorites are Happy Meal figures, mini-figures and plushies (the latter I didn't expect to get into as a 30+ year old man, but I love cute stuff. Especially TY Beanie Boos)

I don't know anything about this kind of thing and I'm not interested in it but I know a few people who have things like this and they're worth a lot of money.

Not sure if I had any that are actually worth money. But the oldest I have is a Mattel Animal Yackers Larry The Lion from the 60s and two Fisher Price Husky Helpers vehicle sets from the late 70's/early 80s (back when they were co-owned by Quaker Oats)

A couple of people that I work with at Goodwill are fairly knowledgeable about toys and we often get some fairly neat stuff. I know that Lalaloopsy dolls are starting to go up in price since they got discontinued

Yeah such toys from the 60s and 70s are valuable.

The only toys I had that weren't some ancient type of game was guns. Some of them are just ones looks like a gun without any function whatsoever, some just made stupid noises to imitade "shooting" lol but my favourites were guns that actually shoot. It made me invent my own toys by crafting makeshift guns that can even kill like my infamous flamethrower I made with perfume spray and lighter lolol and "automatic pencil shooter" lol.

Damn I wish when I was a kid we had one of those RC cars so you can drive. Despite I love cars never liked toy cars lol.

As for toys that looks like a person, animal, creature, et cetera I only used them as my targets to test my weapons' power by "burrowing" them from me brother!!!!

Muhuhahaha lolol.

I have a bunch of Star Wars figures from Hasbro/Kenner as well as Darth Vader and Boba Fett from Kotobukiya I bought pretty cheap back in the day. The funny thing is, I don't care about Star Wars since 2015-ish, so now they just remind me of old better times and not indicating my love for the franchise. Besides that I have Isaac from Dead Space 2 who doesn't light up anymore because the battery is dead. Ah, also Mario, Yoshi and Bowser Happy Meal figures that my friend got for me when he worked at local McDonald's. Nothing fancy really, they are more like memories I guess

I don't consider myself a fan of Star Wars (much more of a Trekkie guy), but I grew up watching the original trilogy on repeat, love the EU (particularly the Young Jedi Knights books), and had a ton merch growing up (particularly a R2-D2 cassette player and most of the Taco Bell Special Edition toys). Most of my love is solely for New Hope because it just fully goes into the vibe of pulp science fiction adventure feature. But I do appreciate Empire Strikes Back also

Personally, as I've gotten older, I've gotten progressively more and more obsessed with TMNT. Love the 80's toys, the IDW comics, and the original 1990 movie (and the original cartoon, as batshit as it can be sometimes. Never really got into the 2003 show, mainly because of my active dislike of the "Turtles Forever" tv movie)

Take good care of your toys or figurines because who knows they could be worth a lot of money.

I still have my childhood "dinosaur box" full of all my old dino friends. I can't part ways with it, we had so many good times together...

For actual collectables, I used to be super into collecting Littlest Pet Shop in middle school, I stopped when they changed the designs of the molds and I thought they looked disgusting, but there's a new wave inspired on the ones I used to buy so I might check em out in the future...
