I know that variations of this thread have been done before. I am wondering what everybody else's most unique or original item is. I am wondering cause alot of us collect the same lines or same things, sometimes that gets boring seeing pics of awesome collections ( and the ones I have seen are indeed awesome and I wish mine was furnished like them) having half the same thing as somebody else. What items do you have that most people dont have. Mine would be my Thundercats Cruncher plaster casting molds.

Mine is an original Blackstar pencil line art form the animation show with Blackstar running waist up. I got this on E-Bay some years ago, and I've always liked to own a unique piece like that.
Matt, yopur unique piece is indeed very cool, it's fun to be able to get such production material!

I was thinking about buying a few of James Tigershark protos awhile back but i've decided to get out of the toy market.

Drbo that blackstar art sounds cool. I would love to get my hands on some art or cells from a few shows.
Henchman I also looked at the Tigersharks prototypes that the same guy had an also contemplated picking one up but couldnt afford it at the time.

Probably my most unique item would be a set of movie reels for the trailers of Star Wars Episode I &II (not exactlly action figure related I guess, but oh well). I know there are copies of these around, though I thought it was pretty cool that I ran into them at a garage sale last year. Now if it was from the original trilogy, that would be something! Cool Thundercats molds though! Drbo, do you have a pic of the Blackstar art?

I have tons of unique Item from Motu. Most of them Euro, and most of them found on evil bay by my ultra cool, ultra understanding, beautiful Wife. (and mostly out of attempt to get me a wild and crazy gift b/c I have almost all things MOTU. I said almost: Megator, Tytus...I'm coming for you!!!!) Anyhow, some of the items would be A skeletor wall clock with reversable pic. A Skeletor/Evil lynn lightswitch cover, A New Adventures Diary, the Walkies and a Skeletor bank head. Not sure how rare some of those are, but certainly unique. I know a lot of people equate value to HTF items, but I value it all, not only b/c they were thoughtful gifts, but because they represent MOTU. I think I'd buy just about anything that has motu slapped on it. maybe that makes me a sucker.....?

10incher those movie reels are a sweet addition to a collection. That's something I never even thought of looking into.
Anna I would love to see pics of your Rainbow Brite sink. Is this something you made your self or is it something that was made specifically for kids rooms.
Stevetor is your skeletor bank head like the He-man one because I have only seen the He-man one, and that one looked pretty neat (I've been outbid the few times I have bid on them).

Not at hand, but I'll scan it so fellow forum member can see it! Just received a very cool animation art piece related to action figure : A Rambo Force of Freedom animation cel with background painting. Here a scan, the fun part of the actual thing is to see the unfinished paint strokes around the frame.

I would also take good care of such a piece of Sword and Sorcery history!

*sigh* Reading over youse-guys stuff makes me realize what a small-time collector I am. But I aspire... My most unique is probably a Joker bust done by William Paquet that's "supposedly" only 1 of 10.

My wife has a Care Bear refrigerator...well it's really a wooden cabnet, but was made to look like a fridge. The inside of the doors even have shelves and food painted on them. The outside has something like "Smiles keep friendship fresh" painted on it. It's kinda hard to explain, but it pretty freaking rad when you see it up close. I'll try to post pics when I can. Personally, from my own collection, I'd have to go with my Transformers Battlin' Robots....think classic Rock 'Em, Sock 'Em boxing robots, but with Optimus Prime and Megatron. either that or my Optimus Prime tent.....shaped like Optimus Prime in cab form.

That is a pretty cool cabinet, have never seen one before. Usually only run into the Care Bears toy boxes that were put out back in the day.

It was Kronos from the Micronaut line but as of last weekend I guess it is my Humaniod figure from the Black Hole.
