Hello ,
been lurking for a while but decided to join in so let me begin with introducing myself...
I'm Kevin, 36 years old and together with my girlfriend I live in Belgium, close to the city of Antwerp and the Dutch border.
As a child I had stuff of many different toylines but mostly Masters of the Universe, and in my early 20's I collected some McFarlane and Neca stuff but that didn't last very long.
Don't know how it happened but about a year ago I decided I wanted to get back into collecting the toy's I played with during my childhood, so the obvious first step was a dig trough the stuff at my parents attic, just to see what I still had left, which was a bit more than I remembered...
I found a bunch of MOTU, some Vintage Star Wars, Remco Karate Kid, Gi Joe's, Real Ghostbusters, Filmation Ghostbusters, TMNT, Thundercat's, Blackstar, some robot's, some bootleg figures, etc...
I was a very spoiled kid in the 80's and early 90's. Lol
Thanks to the great care from my parents all of it was still there and much to my surprise most of it was still complete and in good condition as well.
Up untill today I'm still sorting trough boxes and finding stuff on a weekly basis and I also buy things pretty often so I decided I needed somewhere to put all of it to keep track of all that I had.
So I cleaned out my old bedroom, bought some cheap temporary shelves and put all of it on display.
So far it has been, and still is, a lot of fun to search for information about certain figures names , production year, etc...
The most challenging have been some of the Bootleg and KO figures I have, where the hunt for information has lead me to this forum.
The only figure I have not yet identified is a Sungold Wrestler with Orange hair and an Elf like face, I don't think he even has a name but I will post some pics of him and the rest of my collection as soon as I figured out how that works.
I'm looking forward to being a part of the boards and hope to have a great time here.
Best wishes, Kevin.
