Fox!
There are also deer, squirrel, turtle, horned frog, and a mystery skull (actually, I think it's feline; found it in the woods out back.) The horned frog was one that we had years ago who died of red leg.

awesome breyers! I wanted to collect those...but i'm putting all of my money towards snakes. and my real life horse. haha. I love the apps. pretty!

Sweet collection!

I collect sports memorabilia. Some of the things in my collection include;
Col. Avs jersey signed by the great Patrick Roy
A Caps jersey signed by Jamoir Jagr
Baseballs signed by Cal Ripken and Brooks Robinson
Offical pictures signed by Michael Jordan, Scottie Pipen and Dennis Rodman,
And one of my personal favs ( just kidding ) a pic signed by Barry Bonds and an old pic of OJ Simpson back in his days w/ the Bills also signed by OJ
Also some old timers- Mickey Mantle, Ted Williams , Bobby Hull and Wayne Gretzky signed items.

And a huge collection of old football and baseball cards.

And I am just starting my collection of morph bp's :)

Huckleberry bey is my favorite breyer too.. lol!

I have a decent Breyer collection but most of it is still back home since the Navy can't be bothered to get in gear to get our stuff out here.... but that's a rant for another day.

I love your traditional Skullduggery! I've got both of the stablemate 'Halloween' collections. For some reason the stablemates just call to me more.

Though I adore the Indian pony mold and the foundation stallion mold.

Do you ever do any customization? I've got a few SMs that I've repainted, just not brave enough for rehairing or repositioning. I've got a damaged 'Merrylegs' model that I'm going to practice that on, and trying to find epoxy out here is proving to be difficult!

Okay... I'll step away from the keyboard...the gush is over....



stepping away.

Thanks!
I have gone on and off w/ the idea of selling them for snake-collection funds; but I'd rather wait for a bonus check or something from work.. I sold my childhood collection for money in 1999 and regret it to this day. I too am more drawn toward the Stablemate sized ones, Entropy. They are cheaper, yet very detailed, and yet they do go up there in value over the years; I just started getting into the Peter Stone Chips (SM sized) because I was stunned by some of the value those suckers accumulate!
That Skullduggery.. I got him off Ebay when he first came out for a third of what he is worth now!

I have remade some breyers.. mostly painting, but I tried rehairing and repositioning a few times. I also started on my own sculpture, but it's unfinished. It's an arabian..

I painted a nice CM using that Mesteno mustang mold; made him gray with black points using Mark's airbrush; sold for a nice price on ebay. I need to post my repositioned SM dressage horse after I get a pic of him..

I collect antique money. The pride of my collection is a colional 3 pounds 5 pence piece that was printed by Ben Franklin and signed and signers of the decleration of independance. And printed in 1763. I have thousands of coins non of them newer than 1900. And a few bills from the CSA.

I collect T.V. shows on DVD. I lost track after i got over 100 sets. Some of them are shows i've honestly never even seen. I have everything you could think of from Lost to more obscure shows like Eerie, Indiana or Mystery Science Theater 3000.

The following confuse me :oops:

breyers
Huckleberry bey
Skullduggery
Merrylegs
Stablemate
Peter Stone Chips
arabian
Mesteno
SM dressage

Wow that's impressive, Ed. I collect coins too.. my oldest US coin is an 1803 penny..

It's okay Cue. *pats* It's okay. They're just model names.


There was an adorable CM SM on ebay that I've had my eye on. A hauty little pony mold they'd done a good job on, tail over his back and nostrals flaired.
A really good job and it screamed attitude. Sadly I missed my bid :(

Edited to add: I sold off most of my original collection to fund my first 'real live' horse purchase so I'm trying to slowly get those back but it's proving to be somewhat difficult. And I'm not even looking for NIB!

Nice I pick up an 1856 half dime and an 1893 Columbus Half dollar and a 1857 flying eagle penny. On my honeymoon. I also have an 1893 gold walking liberity bullion dollar.

I have a couple of half dimes too.. can't remember the years offhand.. and I've got a colombus half.. and a flying eagle, but it's not in that great of shape. For some reason I really love mercury dimes.. I have a ton of uncirculated ones. lol

I actualy got three rolls from the Fed. about a year ago. Since I work for a bank they were all mine. :D

Very cool. :) I don't have quite that many, but when I was actively collecting them I only had my allowance to pay for them. lol

The one thing I've been collecting since I was 15 or so was Lp's. They are more like pieces of art then music. Here's some of my prized pieces.

Sweet metal! I bet a lot of kids here don't even know what those are!

Hmm... I don't really collect much other than animals...

But I would like to collect Windstone Editions dragons. :)

*lame word version of THIS POST IS POINTLESS WITHOUT PICS! image*

imagine the above picture wiggling....yeah. =)

Wheat pennies...the oldest one I have thus far is from 1935.

Hair accessories/tools - i.e. brushes, combs, clips, ribbons, etc.

Also cookbooks, kitchen utensils & unique dishware, although "accumulate" might be a better word than "collect" in that case.

(and that about covers anything that can be mentioned on family-friendly forum) :devilish:

That's even scarier then...because I have seen that pic before :oops: I even remember you talking about scaring Rick with em on your first date :eek:

Well Cass, I have to wait for the scissors to be shipped to me first. :P

And Kara.. I've got quite a few wheat pennies. My oldest is a 1909 VDB (the first year).. I have several in fact. Do you have any from 1943? They are made from zinc and are silver in color.

I can't resist buying anything with the Carebear character "Grumpy" on it. Trying to relive my childhood I think.:oops: Did get some neat original stuff off of ebay. Still packed, sorry no pics, recently moved.

I do! My dad gave me one...well...waaaay back when...you were maybe 5 years old at the time. ;)

K~

Cool! Essential for any wheat penny collector. ;)

Okay, since someone divulged their carebear addiction I'll admit my Eeyore addiction.
I have tons upon tons of eeyore stuff. Toys, socks, sheets, bras, undies, baby bottles, pacifiers (those last two gave Ryan a scare when I bought them lol).


And did I see someone say Windstone? I don't hear people talking about them very often. I have a few of the pegasus and the black baby unicorn. I was going to get Ryan the peacock Emporer dragon for christmas but we don't really have the room and I'm afraid the kittens would squish themselves with it somehow.

Just a few of the things we like, most still in storage.

I collect owl stuff- or did really since I'm a bit overwhelmed with owls now and have stopped! I'd get a lot of owls as gifts over the years and I'm so done now, lol. I currently collect random nice action figures of characters I fangirl over, Medusa related stuff, and comic books. No old or expensive ones, just comic series I like. And movies, but... who doesn't?

Karen collects ships, although she too is a bit flooded with model ships and would like some variety now, like a Viking ship ect.

I haven't done any serious collecting in years. I don't go out to museums or anything like that very much anymore, but I have a small group of the smashed coins with different places on it.

I have a large bag of foreign coins with some US coinage as well. Most of the foreign money my uncle gave to me from various trips. I've since added Euros and British money to it. I still have a lot of bicentennial coinage.

I have a small collection of music boxes and wind up toys in storage.

I suppose I have a collection of books, the invert room has 2 walls filled with books.
