buying a comic each month or even less.
And now i'm buying more than 15 comics a month
a real addiction 🙂

- Ultimate Fantastic Four
- Ultimates

- Teen Titans
- Supreme Power
- Lady Death
- Namor
- Wanted
- 100 bullets
and then affcourse some mini series like 1602, Wolverine The End, . . .
Like you can see a lot of Marvel.
It used 2 be a lot of Chaos, but they went bankrupt 🙁
I only have one in Mint Condition, and that's the one with Spawn on his throne 🙂. I'm not gonna let him out of his box, it's too pretty and valuable for me (it's a a deluxe edition). All the others I have I took them out so ppl and myself can admire the detail on them, the only condition is not to pick them up or play with them. All those figurines that I haev r not really toys to play with, they r all more like collectible items that just look good. Daywalker is right, it's all about u, and how u take these things to your heart. The toys that Daywalker owns r almost all for play, but if I had them I would also spread them out in my room and make scenarios. Personally if I collected something of Batman it would be models of his Vehicles.
Some ppl decorate their apartment with Ikea stuff, I prefer McFarlane Toys and Spawn posters. Movie posters, manga posters, comic posters, all things that I like my apartment full of 🙂.
I'm new to this board, but this looked like a good subject to jump in on...so.
I did an inventory a few days ago, over 800 comics stretching from mostly the 1970's to today and there are some from the 60's in there, and I have 9 graphic novels.
Some of the highlights are (to me at least)
What If? #1 v.1 where Spider-Man joins the Fantastic Four, kind of a weird story.
All New All Different X-Men, the issue after the Giant Sized special where the new team was introduced (unfortunately I don't have that) but it's their first time out and Thunderbird gets the axe, so that's worth a few bucks.
A few comics from the Human Fly and the Champions run by Marvel, cool stuff that's been forgotten.
A bunch of old black and white Conan magazines by Marvel
And much more. Kamandi: The Last Boy on Earth, a bunch of Superman, Spider-Man, Daredevil, Defenders, Invaders (which are pretty cool, if somewhat corny), Hulk, Supervillian Team-Up, Fantastic Four, Captain America and the Falcon. A bunch of older stuff.
For my newer stuff, a bunch of X-Men, Spider-Man, some Black Panther (which I think was an awesome book, along with The Crew, Priest is a great writer), Entire Ultimate X-Men run in TPB, Marvel vs. DC in TPB and a bunch of random stuff.
The older stuff was kind of a family heirloom from my dad, in reality, I'm only 15 and pretty lucky to have gotten all of that stuff.
Marvel Statues and mini-busts
O.k this is my new collection. I suggest if you like the artwork of comics that you buy some sculptures.
I have:
1. Galactus
2. Colossus(Ultimate)
3. Nightcrawler(Ultimate)
4. Sandman
5. Wolverine(first appearance costume)
6. Giantman
My next one is Thor(Ultimate) and Silver Surfer. I got my eye on the Thing too.

I tell my friends not to bring any kids to my place cuz they would go nuts seeing all the nice toys, lol.
next up is a rare chase Marvel Legends action figure of the Hulk. im not going to open it. i payed $6.99 for it but the trade-in value is now $20. believe it or not i was browsing a local KB Toys and i found this figure *undamaged* on the floor! so i hid it and came back later and bought it when i fetched my money lol. its older, so its not *great* detail, but it was early Marvel Legends (like in early 2002).
heres the first picture
I had that yellow Wolverine once, I bought it in a mall in Tulsa. It was the last of its kind, all the others were wolverines with some action moves. I shipped the Wolverine home and my granny misplaces it when we moved. Bah 🙁
Since I'm probably movin to San Farancisco for a year, do u guys know any good comic shops there? Or can u tell me when's the convention in San Diego? I would love to go there 😄
I just saw the venom bust, my dealer took it out of storage yesterday. It's really good. He's got that kinked tounge and all. My next two are Thor and Ironman(both ultimates) I'll have to wait for the surfer till my birthday in october; it's an older one and it's like $150. The reg. ones are more reasonable at $45
