Dunny

Dunny are similar to Qee, and while they are not as old as Qee they have pretty much bumped Qee out of the US market. They are made by Kid Robot, a toy and clothing store based out of New York.

I own only a few of these, most of which I bought during a visit to the Kid Robot store in Soho. I will most likely never purchase more of these, but I do like the ones I have.

Here is my collection so far (click to enlarge images):





The Muppets

I'm a lifelong Muppets fan, so when Palisades released their Muppets action figure line years ago I was very excited. I collected many of them as they came out, but my finances at the time didn't allow me to pick them all up when I found them, so I've been slowly filling in the gaps over the year via online auction.

Each figure came with a ton of accessories, and there are many very detailed playsets. I own several of the sets, and will upload photos of those in time. Palisades did such a great job with these, right down to the textures on the Muppets' faces.

Masters of the Universe Classics


 CAUTION: This is out of date. I'll get it back up to date shortly!

So Masters of the Universe Classics is an online-only toy line from Mattel. It attempts to create a comprehensive line of Masters figures using ideas from all the preexisting Masters and related series. That's essentially four TV shows, four toy lines, various comic books and magazines, as well as unreleased concept documents and new ideas as well.

It's a massive line, and the figures are absolutely gorgeous. It's seriously my favorite toy line right now, and I'd probably sell off every other toy I own before stopping this collection.

I get between 1-3 new figures every month in the mail through my subscription. Again, I can't stress enough how sweet these are. I have been a He-Man fan all of my life, and this line feels like the culmination of that love for the property.

While I will collect most everything to do with this line, and do have plenty of variants and doubles of characters with interchangeable parts, I am avoiding vehicles for space reasons, and am considering giving up non-specific larger figures like the recent Griffin figure (which I have, but haven't opened yet).
