Collecting pop culture toys, comics, and collectibles collections

Let the Countdown to Halloween begin!

It’s October 1, which means we have finally entered the month of Halloween! I love everything about this time of year, and I’m happy to be participating in this year’s Countdown to Halloween. I plan to use this month to get back to taking some creative pictures of scary-cool items in my collection. I will leave you with this warning: there will be a LOT of King Kong posts this month. Here’s the first…

This is McFarlane Toys’ Movie Maniacs King Kong figure. The detail on Mcfarlane figures is incredible and this guy even has a little bit of articulation! I could photograph this figure all day long.

    I need to give those McFarlane monster toys a second look. I remember passing on a lot of them when they first came out, but I think time might have been kind to them. Looking forward to seeing what’s in your collection!
