Your favorite collection - other than ponies!!

[Katika]

My garden gnomes <3  I've been collecting them for the past eleven years, and there are literally only two rooms in the house that don't have gnomes in them.  For the longest time, I didn't "let" any of them live outside, but now that we live rural, I've trusted a couple with my hardy hibiscus bushes.  My gnomes are a lot like my ponies are to me, in that I can't not smile when I look at them, and they're a collection that is a little more socially acceptable to the general public for a "grown up" to have.  Even though I've got somewhere around 40 of them, when I say "I collect garden gnomes," I get the "Oh!  That's pretty neat!" response, where when I tell people "I collect My Little Ponies," probably half the time I get that kinda queasy eyebrow look and a "Oooooh... that's neeeeat..." (I'm sure some of you other "grown ups" have had those responses, too).  It doesn't bother me either way, but it's nice to have a collection that can spread throughout the house and have company not ask me where my kids (that I don't have) are.

Sorry to hear that you get raised eyebrows over your MLP collection.  For my part, I DO have children, but I make no bones about the fact that the My Little Ponies are mine, all mine.  LOL.  I know I'm not nuts, just someone who has never quite grown out of My Little Ponies. I honestly don't care what other people think.  If they're too stuffy, serious, and judgmental, that's their problem, not mine.  But I can definitely understand feeling annoyed by it or maybe a bit lonesome.  That's what the MLPArena is for.  WE won't raise our eyebrows at you!

I don't think I have any normal collections! The ones that I currently add to are MLP's, Hellhounds, Tribbles, Warthogs, Guinea Pigs/rodent/Capybara and if I find a cute one Devil Dolls... I have Hellboy (courtesy of hubby) and the devil dolls from the Living dead dolls.

I didn't think  I was either, but I am completely in love with this one!! She is adorable!

that's sort of what happened to me too.
I thought I was totally not into 2005 ones, even found them scary in a way, until one day I found one who was just lovely  and now I have another 4 besides this one, he kind of spoiled me, lol!

I finally dug out some pictures of my Smurf room in it's hayday.  Sorry for the poor quality I had to scan them from a picture I had printed out from my computer.

Well other than ponies I collect vintage Barbie's,mainly the clothes, because I absoulty adore the time period they repersent. I also collect bells, just about anything Beatles, magizines, and I want to start collecting old LPs. 

[StarDragon]

I have a collection of the older Pokemon cards. I stopped collecting after the 4th generation. I also collected beanie babies as a child, mostly dragons, cats, and horses. I don't do those anymore, but I still love them as much.

[invaderhorizongreen]

as for me i have some lovey stieff animals they are quite nice i love them I need to find a guide book for them though there are lots on my wish list with them though.

My biggest collection is definitely my model horses - I'm pretty sure I have over 600 at this point. Mostly Breyers, but I have a modest collection of Peter Stone horses as well along with customized ones.

My other pride and joy is my vinyl record collection. I think my LP collection is around 300 at this point. Being from a generation that traditionally doesn't listen to vinyl, I kind of had to build my collection from the ground up because I just didn't grow up with them. Nothing more satisfying then listening to those pops and crackles, though.

Totally!  Listening to LPs is more of an "experience" - and I love flipping the record over, too.

Yah I agree 100%! I love the way vinyl sounds and I can't go back to cds or digital music after hearing good ol' vinyl. I was telling a friend a while back, while we were argueing about music, That I had something she'd never have with her more reacent music, she rolled her eyes and asked what " could that possibley be?" and I broke into a grin and cried " YOU CAN'T LISTEN TO THE CRACKLE AND POP OF VINYL AND NEVER WILL!" and she cracked up. Ever since I've been into records especalliy LP's even more than before. I even go down into my creepy basement for hours to listen to them on the turn table down there.

Next, the top shelf: We've got the lunchbox, Mumm-Ra's Tomb (you can turn the little compartment in the middle and put the transformed version of Mumm-Ra in there so he can "transform") And of course Transformed Mumm-Ra, mummy Mumm-Ra, Ma-Mutt, and Safari Joe, the greatest hunter in the galaxy.  He hunts sentients as well as beasts.  (He's got pox/cancer!  >P )

And last, but not least...some REALLY amatuerish custom figures!  I was a total novice when I made these, LOL.  The Alluro one (the biggest one) is pretty good but otherwise...argh.  I did mke the weapons decently, though, out of Sculpey:

Hmmmmm!  That might have been the Redeye prototype.  I TOTALLY want that one, too.  There's a prototype Feliner (a ship) I want too, but it was also expensive
