So I know I can't be the only adult, that is way to old to be collecting figurines, but stills does anyway.


 


I came across these 'Lost kitties' toy figurines at christmas on clearance. I quickly fell in love with them. I have spent way more that I probably should on childrens toys .... but they make me happy so - 🤷


 


Here are just a few of the ones I have :P



 


Do you have any collections?


I know Breyers are typically  big with most horse lovers ...

Oooh yes, the Breyers. I have mine packed away somewhere though, I don't have room to put them on display :P I don't really collect them much anymore? The only time I'm tempted to is if there's any oldies in an antique shop (there almost always is lol).

Does just everything Harry Potter count as a collection? Lmao. I guess specifically, I collect the different styles of the books. I have the original (US) versions with the diamond prints and the classic covers by Mary GrandPre. I have the version with Hogwarts printed across all the spines. I'm saving up for the House and adult editions. And I'm very excited every year to bring home my illustrated editions.

I have a very small wand collection too - just my favorite beans: Snape and Fred. I'd love to add to it with my other favs (Georgie and the Malfoys) whenever money is a thing I have again lmao.

I also lowkey collect Pop figurines of my favorite fandom characters? I have Snape, Fred, and Loki (Ragnarok version). I missed out on getting Kylo Ren, but I'm literally putting money in a box specifically for one of his figurines when Episode IX comes out (they go fast, man 0.0). 

I have a card collection lol. It started as collecting card decks from the places I travelled, and then just turned into snagging interesting ones whenever I saw them (I have at least 5 decks from Disneyland lmao). I play a lot of solitaire, so every deck is used and loved ^^

I don't know if book series count? Cuz I also buy every volume of Black Butler, Tokyo Ghoul, and Karneval as they come out, as well as all the versions of anything Inheritance cycle :P

I... I mean, my 3 year old 😂🤣 has a nice collection of Lost Kitty toys. She likes the Hatchimals and Littlest Pet Shop toys better. I'm okay with that. 🤣 

 

 

 

I have a few funky pops. My favorite are my Horton and Sadness ones.

I actively collect Breyer (and a few resins) - up around 140 Breyers, I have 10 customs of various maks, around 70 CollectA/Schleich.  I have around 10 Copperfoxes too

 

I collected My Beautfiul Horses when I was younger and since then have almost completed my collection (think I have all horses just not the sets)

 

I've also got a huge collection of Puppy in my Pocket and a chunk of Pony and Kitty in my Pocket. 

 

I'm in the process of sorting the medium spare room for them all to be displayed.

Well my tarantula collection all died, except for Varric.

 

But I have a pretty extensive collection of skull themed decor as well.

Omg, I collected so much stuff back in the day and I still have a bunch going.

I collect snowglobes from every place I travel to and just in general if I see a cute one in a store. Pretty sure I have close to 75 now.

I collect teacups thanks to getting a few from distant relatives and then finding a box in my grandma's closet after she passed away, and since then I just amass them when my mom and I go through antique stores. :P

I also collect stamps - something I was really into when I was younger and I still take them in as people give them to me even tho I probably haven't put any actually into an album in about a decade. xD

I will buy just about anything I see that is Lisa Frank related. LMAO I have a giant box/shrine under my bed full of the stuff lolol

I still more or less collect Beanie Babies too....specifically the cats ones at this point haha.

My most recent collection is now collecting sand from the beachy places I visit. Like last year I got pulled over by TSA after my cruise and they had to test all the little bags of sand I had in my bag to make sure I wasn't trying to use it as a bomb apparently LMAOO

Old coins and coins out of circulation
Used stamps I keep in an envelope

Books (obvs lol).

 

I'm also like Monnie and collect versions of Harry Potter...I have the original Canadian versions, original American versions, illustrated, and as I see covers I don't have in used stores I buy them too. I've also been getting the Gryffindor 20th anniversary versions as they come out.

 

I've also collected some Funkos as I see them on clearance for things I like...I have bobble head Captain America, mermaid Ariel, Hercules, Elastigirl, and all 4 of the Golden Girls. 

 

As I find them used, I also collect Trolls...the classic ones, not the weird looking ones from the movie.

I also have too many books haha, but I haven't bought a bunch of different editions of the same titles.

There's a small, but growing collection of magnets on our fridge from the places we go to.

When Tatu's grandfather passed away, he left tons of books and other bits and bobs around the house, so we went to clean out some of it. I ended up with more books (lol), but also Soviet propaganda posters and vintage matchbox art. It's still in the bag, as we have no space for it atm, but one day I will give it the attention it needs.

I still have my collection of grand champion horses that I plan on giving elaine to play with for her birthday or christmas this year maybe...

I use to collect shot glasses but I think that was more of a 18-21yo fancy and not a long term thing as I havent bought any since out of that age range.

I also collect shells, Like i have a ton of them. I really get them for planned projects (wind chimes) but drilling through shells is a pain in the rear XD

I guess I am just a bit of a minimalist and dont really have a space of my own to display stuff and I really just dont like storing things.

My mother was a hoarder (still kinda is) and she lives with us. My mother in law is a hoarder, but grew up very poor so she likes to save clothes and other randoms because they will be useful to someone one day. 

I live for the purge of all things basicallly XD
