The TOY NERD thread!

[DM Larson]

For toys! Not cameras (even though many of us think of our camera collection as toys).

I am 12 going on 50.

I have a Buzz lightyear still in the box, I'll try to dig it up. To infinity and beyond !!!! And some tonka cars for macro practice

And here is my plastic Monkey who actually flips over when you wind him up. (I think some humans do the same... )

Those wind up toys are so fun! The nun looks like she would give me nightmares.

This has been sitting in my dresser drawer for over 35 years. It used to sit in my father's dresser drawer before that. Never been in water.

This has been in the garage (hence the dust on it) for a lot of years. My twin grandsons are almost old enough to play with it now.

We have a bunch of these types of toys.

Not on my shelf but a Cooper Maserati F1 from the 60's, out of its box and pretending to be on the move.

Much more than the soft monster did the Poe catch the bookworm's eye. What a wonderful edition this is. Holding such a volume and getting its scent into the nose is a special delight which no digital edition ever can provide.

I found this 2000 Honda CBR600F 1:18 scale model when I was cleaning up my personal effects box. My brothers and I love collecting model cars and action figures. I still haven't brought them out yet as I still haven't built the shelving yet. I want them on display just like the one shown by @DM Larson. I am thinking of creating something with glass and lights per car/figure.

I bought this in Australia in 2000 when it was all around Melbourne.

Cool details on that bike.

Two more...
First, my metal Japanese convertible automobile, with its two handsome passengers, which normally lives inside the house on a bookcase, needs to get out on the road every once in awhile. Because, as Henry Ford once said, “Everybody wants to be someplace he ain't.”

And second, because everyone needs a bit of fresh air sometime, here's PeeWee, out on the same road, smack dab in the middle of it. Why the middle, you ask? Because, in the immortal lyrics of Ray Charles:
Then throw me
(Smack dab in the middle)
I want to be
(Smack dab in the middle)
Ahhhhh, smack dab in the middle, boys now
So I can rock and roll to satisfy my soul

I've been a member of this site for nine years, and that first image (the two figures in the convertible) remains my favourite here.
