Cool and Collected

Collecting pop culture toys, comics, and collectibles collections

This week’s assignment from the League: Shelf Expression

The last few weeks has seen the responses to the League of Extraordinary Bloggers‘ weekly challenge slow down quite a bit, so I think it’s time we got back to basics with a quick and easy photo assignment. I’d like to open this up to non-bloggers who might use Facebook, Twitter, or Instagram as their social media of choice, so spread the word! Just snap a photo and add a comment below with the URL so we know how to find you.

—

Shelf Expression. Take a picture of your shelves, featuring a few of your favorite things.

Once you put up a post on your site, add a comment below with the URL so everyone knows where to find it. Remember to include links to your fellow League members in your article, along with a League logo and link, so other bloggers can learn how to join in the fun.

Blog karma is a good thing — by cross-posting like this, we will help send each other new readers, and receive a few in return. If you would like to join the League, all you need is a love of pop culture and a blog. Come join the fun, and tell your friends!

    I’ve been lurking for a quite a while but when someone asked me about toy storage the other day and then this week’s assignment popped out and turned out to be related, I decided to join in the fun.

    Love Calvin and Hobbes. My 9 year old started reading my C&H collection. She loves it. She even enters it on her school reading log. Wonder if the teachers notice?

        Thanks Jason. I get the same reaction from many who have seen the Collection of Cool. Sharing pictures of our treasures with others is the most fun.

    Action figures? DVDs? Graphic novels?

    Nope.

    How about some Mister Rogers’ Neighborhood shelfies?
