I have a confession to make: I'm not much for collecting toys.
It's probably just a case of not having met the *right toys*. I do have *one* fandom-related toy, after all -- an Alan Scott plushie which, in an impressive if very disturbing act of forshadowing, has no eyes under his mask -- and he brings me a great deal of glee. (I worry sometimes that he doesn't have anyone to relate to, however. And I think that says WAY TOO MUCH about me, so.)
One thing I've noticed, in my search for the *right toys*, is that they usually come in categories. My Alan, for example, belongs to "Characters that you wouldn't have expected to be so cuddly!" along with Lobo (srsly) and Tim. (Well, y'know. For some definitions of "Tim.")
Another category of toys that has stuck in my mind is "The QA people are just as twelve as we are, or possibly on drugs."
It includes such collector's items as:
Quite-Detailed-Crotch Poison Ivy.
Penis-Transformer Punisher.
Hands-Down-My-Pants Batman.
I'm sure there's more out there.
Sadly, I don't think they'd fit in with my "collection," such as it is. He'd... disapprove. Or maybe give a lecture. Alan seems to have *fun* doing that.
