I had some McFarlane stuff years ago, Aliens and Predators, but all of them broke down on their own. No kidding, I saw one of my Xenos just crumble before my eyes. And it was just sitting there on its base. I was so royally pissed I considered to stop collecting, but then NECA came along, and I'm sticking with them to this day.
I do like other lines like Dark Horse, Figma and FiguArts, but I have fewer of those, as they're more expensive.

Hot Toys -Man, I'd love to get my hands on one of those, but the prices are a bit restrictive for me as of now. Maybe in the future! As they really look awesome. (I did save to get the MonsterArts Biollante, which costed me a whooping 250 dlls, but it was a one-off thing. The crown jewel of my collection, in terms of price tags anyway).

S.H. FiguArts Sadako arrived home! In Mexico, that is. I'll have to wait til next year to open that pretty box.

Meanwhile, Tacit Ronin and Indominus Rex passed out after a night of party and too much drinking.

 

Mutavore followed me home today. The penultimate kaiju in the PR line, I'm still sad it ended before the rest of the kaijus could see the light of day.

Also, some cookies. Because they're delicious. Om nom nom.

I don't really collect anything, Morgoth, although I do have some Star Wars stuff (mostly pez dispensers) and a few LoTR figures (I got the extended editions they offered with the figures included, my favorites being the Pillars of Argonath). I do have a bunch of rock memorabilia, but that's pretty much all sitting a closet, and mostly posters ( I ended up with a bunch of stuff through my old job). I think my favorite is a poster made for a Rolling Stones Halloween concert. My other favorite is from a series of shows Clapton did at the Fillmore, once of which was on my birthday.  The Stones poster is pristine.  The Clapton poster, well, that was on the wall of my old apartment, and like an idiot, I hung it with push-pins.

(These images were taken from a google search. That way, I didn't have to pull them all out of my closet and go through them to photograph them.)

The funny thing is that I was a big McFarline toys collector when they used to be the de-facto collectors item.
But I moved around a lot after college and packing up all my things and schlepping around became a pain so I gifted them to others. Of course I regret that now.

Hmmm, maybe time has come to start anew!

I ditched McF after all my figures from the brand died on me. My McFarlane Grid Alien literally crumbled to pieces on its own, right before my eyes -I was really pissed that day.

I switched to NECA then, and though I've had some problems with a handful of their figures, most of them turned out well. Quality-wise I prefer Bandai, though. Sometimes I wish this wasn't such an expensive hobby
