    Above my home computer is a shelf of stuffie Disney villains, various anime models, Transformers of multiple generations, tons of dragons, etc. There's a whole shelf of animation DVDs (Disney, WB, etc). My wife is a Disney fanatic and collects anything Figment related. She also has a huge collection of old McDonald's happy meal toys. Then there's the game room.

    Surprisingly considering I am a fan, I actually don't have any MLP toys. After I get back from my next con trip, I'm going to start attempting to sculpt show-accurate mystery bag toys, so that will change, but not yet.

      I'm not a full-blown brony, myself, and don't collect the toys. (Nor do I really see the need to-- although my creative side wants to get a paint kit or something and paint up my OC, Skyfire, the mad scientist pony.)

      But I love me a good Disney film. If it's Pixar, damn right I'm gonna see it. I don't have all that many toys at work (though I'm tempted to get some more now), but I do have a plush Minion (from Despicable Me) on my desk.

      Remember: you're only as old as you let yourself feel. Age is just a state of mind.

        I used to have about 300 or so hot wheels cars, then my mom got rid of them.

          Same here. I'm less interested in the toys themselves then the chance to practice my sculpting skills. (And I might try doing Skyfire after I get some practice. Won't likely be for a while though.) As for painting, why not give it a try? Should be easy enough to get a pegasus toy and paint it. I'm sure Seraph or I could give you tips.

            One of my absolute favorite movies of all time is Lion King, and when I found a copy for sale at my store 7 or 8 months ago I jumped at the chance to buy it.
            Oh, and I still sleep with a stuffed animal. Which I took with me when I went to see my long distance boyfriend. He thought it was cute.

              That sucks

              My mom tolerated my model collection...including the million or so Matchbox/Hot Wheels. Provided, that they weren't on the floor, of course. I still have most of mine, but I've been slowly adding to the collection over the years. Sure, I have the usual 'common' cars, but I've been adding some of the more obscure vehicles--Iso Grifo, anyone? Not just plastic models and those little cars now either. Several large scale (1/16 and 1/18) diecast models are parked in my TV stand. My 'virtual garage,' if you will.

              Of course, I forgot to mention my collection of Radio-Flyer wagons. I have an '88, a '78, and a '59. All were used at one time or another to deliver newspapers, or haul things around my grandmother's farm. I mention them, because the sight of a blue two-tone '78 parked in my living room...would probably cause her to snap

                I am a hardcord MLP collector. My spare bedroom is ONLY for the display and storage of the thousands or so ponies, merch, and accessories I have. Someties I wish I was exaggerating that number, but most of the tie I'm just like ," OMG, poooonnnniiieeeesssssssss." And my office is little better, since that's where I do my customizing.

                I don't have kids, but sometimes I count my cats as kids. I have enough of them that it's LIKE having a toddler or two around. My shopping cart looks odd with like 4 bags of cat litter and one plastic pony in it, I will admit that.

                  I knew there was a reason I loved it here. I am normal here. My collection of toys and what not keeps me sane. I have a full set of ponies (what aren't there brushes with them?) and a full set of the McDonald's toys (had to buy Rarity of Ebay, what?)

                  Also have a lot of stuffies around the office.

                      I'm a Transformers fan. I've got a box of Gen 1 stuff (not in the greatest condition admittedly since they were played with; but I have them), and a lot of the more recent stuff on display on various shelves around my condo. Including a couple of dozen in the main living space and a lot more in the spare bedroom. And I still have a rubbermaid I need to unpack full as well. I just need more shelf space to display them on.

                      And of course at work, I don't have much, but I do have a Masterpiece Skywarp on top of the computer tower behind my monitor.

                        If you've got the large version of your namesake (yes, the white/red Gen 1 version), I'm going to hunt you down.

                        One of the nostalgia toy stores near me has one. I won't say how much. It's insane.

                          I've got one, centerpiece of my G1 display

                          I used to have about 500 TF figures, but sold a good number of them a while back to clear space. But the collection continues to grow, and has since been joined by GI Joe Renegades, Thundercats, misc. Star Wars, Ezio Auditore and friends, and a small herd of mini-ponies

                            Grrr. You're within driving distance, dude.

                            Just kidding. I'm actually more of a Robotech fan than TF, hence the desire for the G1 Jetfire toy. I do have a bunch of the other models and toys, so I'm in pretty good shape.

                              Sadly, I never got that. My cousin from Ontario has/had one, but I don't know what became of his collection. I wanted his Jetfire back then, and I still want it now.

                              My Gen 1 collection has some gems but nothing too big. (Complete Original Stunticon team, Gen1 Optimus, a Metroplex, an Omega Supreme, a really beat up Hound and Starscream and some others I can't recall off hand, mixed in with a few Starcom, some GoBots (including 4/6ths of one of their combiner teams) and even a rare GIJoe toy in that big box. The Stunticon team has some personal memories for me. I remember it was a summer Grandma had come down from Ontario, and she was willing to get me a toy. I picked out one of them, and mentioned they were part of a team (or may have had one of the pieces ; I can't remember clearly). But I do remember she said there was no point in having a partial team and finished off the team for me on that visit.

                              The bulk of my collection is later toys and reissues that I've gotten since I went to University and beyond. I have a lot of Beast Wars toys (including the 2 combiners that weren't on the show) and a lot of Optimus's and Megatron dragons. If I think of it after FNM tonight I may start snapping pictures and sorting out what I have a bit more. I also have Unicron and Cybertron still in their boxes now.

                                Right now, underneath my monitor I have ...

                                From left to right...
                                Admiral Ackbar, miniature Silence, miniature blue Dalek, miniature Doctor 11 in a dark brown tweed, miniature Doctor 11 in a light brown tweed, Amy Pond (5 inch version), wind up TARDIS (4 inches tall which makes amy look like a giant)


                                There are stuffed animals here but most of them are put away in some fashion as to not tempt the doggy. Cos she's well behaved but lately she's been picking one item a week or so to chew on. as if she doesn't have enough toys and bones to play with....
                                My dad has a dalek display at work on a shelf and a miniature set of all the doctors my brother got him when he went to Wales. My son was the doctor for Halloween, but no one got it and thought he was a weird kid being an Amish kid for Halloween
