what do you collect? come share :^D

[egbert]

i collect books, old tech, plushes and much more but today i'll stick to sharing my plush collection :^)
(old photo)

old photo, but pretty accurate. my plush collection is 67%found in the trash,,12% bought, and 3% gifted to me... i pretty much know all the best spots for dumpster diving*

*i dont actually rummage in there. people just tend to leave things they don't need but still work on the ground beside the trash. still counts as found in the trash. to me :^)


my clowms! the small ones are twins! the green one's a circus/jester clown mix and i'm still figuring out the red one's breed :^) their names are a sceret, they wont tell me..
the big one is Alberto Manuel Soares, she's a hobo clown i rescued from a thrift store that was using her for mascot appeal; they made her flip signs for 30 cents an hour D^:

this is clown souplé, he's a french hobo/party clwon mix and he's still on the way to my country, can't wait for him and my creatures to meet :^3

(i talk about my clowns like they're real live creatures as some sort of roleplay, it's a subculture called clown husbandry, don't get scared ^_^)

I like to collect retro games, VHS tapes, Laserdiscs and the occasional Blu-Ray.

I've also been getting into collecting 90s and early 2000s gaming magazines, particularly ones focused on systems I enjoy. It's very interesting reading about the opinion on games before they come out, and what they thought of them once they did. They also help with the immersion if I'm playing the same console, it feels like I'm sort of back in time, if that makes sense.

i collect magazines too, both old and new. the oldest ones go back to the 90s, i collect panflets and zines too... i started doing it because while they might not be old now, they'll be old someday :^P i found the older ones in, you guessèd it. the trash. not IN THE trash. on the floor beside it. someone must have died or something... the censored magazines are hometown publications... dont wanna doxx myself....

Ooooo I love this questtiiioonnn

In real life I like to collect plushies, bottle caps, crystals, random trinkets, hotwheels, and I want to get back into collecting littlest pet shop pets!! I'd also like to get into collecting pokemon cards and maybe animal crossing amiibo cards.

Virtually I like to collect various items in my videogames and specific pets on some of my virtual pet websites. Some examples are My Egg Cave hoard, you'll need to scroll past my profile info to see them, and my final outpost horses collection!!

Maybe we'll take pictures later, but we collect anything Pokemon (plushies, toys, books, games, etc), stuffed animals (mostly Webkinz, Beanie Babies, and "zoo" stuffed animals), gemstones or rocks, and action figures and toys. We also have a small collection of tarot and playing cards.

I collect CDs, Manga, DVDs and Littlest pet shops. things I want to collect but don't have enough for a collection are; Cheburashka merch, things related to radioactivity and gas masks!

ah, im so happy that people took interest in this thread... !
clown souplé got here a few days ago... he and that royal guard thing are awfully close...
i'll now recap their existence..!

from left to right: Alberto Manuel Soares - hobo clown i rescued from an antique store where they exploited her with unfair working conditions (she/he), Mr. F 2, Mr. F 1 - twins i met at a flea market who pay 5cents a month to live here. they wont tell me their real names… or breeds but i think Mr F 2 may be a circus/jester mix… (they/them) , Clown Souplé - french party clown tourist who’s here to sightsee :^) he’s a simple man. i mean clown. (he/him) he's very clearly a party clown but i predict he'll start developing hobo characteristics

posting pictures of your own collections is encouraged... yay!..yay!

I got into collecting Pokemon cards recently! I enjoy the trading card game so I have a deck I can play with. But I drew some great cards in packs so now I am collecting cards!

I collected all the cards with the amigurumi pokemon photos in near mint holofoil!

I also have the Sword & Shield Eeveelutions, and I'm collecting cards with art by Yuka Morii. Yuka Morii makes clay figures of pokemon and photographs them out in nature!

And the big thing I'm collecting is Fairy cards! Fairy pokemon aren't legal to play anymore, but many of the cards are super cheap! I like them because I like the whole concept of the Fairy energies and stuff. So I collect any Fairy cards I can find even if they aren't full art or they're not holofoil.

I like collecting stickers.



Also plushes and tiny (usually bunny-themed) knick-knacks.
