I know Leo DiCaprio collected heaps of stuff including Star Wars, Mego and GI Joe. I remember looking at a bunch of vintage Star Wars stuff he put up on eBay to raise money for charity at one point.
Not sure if he still collects now.

I remember him on that short-lived toy hunters show where then all he collected was vintage horror toys.

>>11680930
I was actually on a board where he occasionally visited in the 1999/2000 area. It was one of those EZBoards that no longer exist. He had what was probably the largest private G1 MISB Transformers collection in existence at the time. One room in his house damn near looked like a toy store with even having store display shelves for selling stuff. He was selling it all off because he had a girlfriend who kept shaming him for having toys, and he sold everything on Ebay. I had kept a lot of the pics posted at that time, but they went out with a PC that died a long long time ago.

>>11680951
Metalheads in general are natural-born collectors. Sebastian Bach of Skid Row even briefly had a very high-grade Action Comics #1 as well as the first Detective Comics Batman, which got stolen and never recovered. Bands like Iron Maiden and Metallica know this, which is why they've released a shitload of "collectible" picture-disc vinyl and a ton of other shit over the decades.

I bet he regrets that now he's 10 more girlfriends down the line

I remember on an episode of MTV Cribs back in the day Ice-T had a bunch of horror figures on his mantle.

>>11681421
He's probably closer to 20 girlfriends down the line, she's 25 years older, so is he, but he's still fucking the grils the age she used to be 25 years ago.

I know Rob Zombie has a lot of cool shit

>>11681007

Hatfield is big into vintage car collecting these days. Some Kind of Monster IIRC had a segment where he showed off his collection and Fuel was written explicitly because Hatfield wanted to write a feel good song about his love of fast cars.

>>11681446
Huh, im not a heavy smoker but taking a toke and looking at vintage stuff is usually cool. Some of those toys in the op are kinda like grails for me, the shogun warriors raydeen is a toy i missed out on say like 15 years ago because the seller would not budge on the price.

Those huge size Shogun Warrior figures have only kept going up in value since their initial release. They are rarely if ever found being sold cheap especially complete.

Anderson Silva has a huge action figure collection, mostly marvel legends

A ton of wrestlers are toy collectors. Danhausen, Ethan Page, Hornswoggle etc.

Jonathan Ross has a huge collection

Schwarzenegger collected dolls, as in the old style frilly ones, not Barbies, BEFORE he became a movie star.

Robin Williams collected lots of scifi, fantasy, and anime stuff. Supposedly the MISB Mass Production Eva figure in that scene in '1 Hour Photo' was from his own personal collection, and he knew damn well he was mispronouncing 'Evangelion' to hide his power level.

Mark Hamill had in his contract with Lucas that he gets one of every Star Wars figure that gets made, I think.

Lots of Pro Wrestlers are big toy collectors, Matt Cardona (depending on how you wanna describe famous) is probably the most well known of em.

>>11680917
My Father-in-law's friend had some old movie posters from way back when he was a kid and the theater he worked at closed down. He took some home and shoved em in his attic for years. When they went to sell the house he found the posters and one was the original 1931 Frankenstein movie poster. He put it up for auction and it sold for like 300k, the buyer was supposed to be anonymous but if he found out it was Kirk Hammett.

>>11681007
I saw him at SDCC back in 2019. Me and my brother were wandering around the Hasbro booth and my brother just stopped with his jaw open as Sebastian Bach was just wandering around with his kids. He gave my bro a fist bump as he was walking by. Can't miss that dude in a crowd seeing how tall he is.

>all those vintage toys and japanese robots
I've been watching mostly older movies (40-50-60-70 decades) and using analogue stuff

I listen to cassette players and records while building a Pentium 2 computer (I found an awesome new white keyboard and mouse), and I also dress in vintage clothes (I live outside the big cities in a small European town, so I'm not considered a freak like I might be in the center of a big American city).

And at some point, I started thinking about how nice it would be to travel back in time, for example, to Italy in the 1970s. And I constantly think about the difficulties I would face, because I'm addicted to collecting action figures.
I came to the conclusion that I would also start collecting Japanese toys, old Godzilla toys, early Japanese robots...
If you're a time traveler and go back in time, that's the only way, because only Japan had good vintage toys before the 1980s and the "toy-commercial cartoons" boom in America.
(yeah i know america had cool toys in the 60-70s but these were just a few of them and japanese toys were just better because they had that nerd-appeal)

Cool reminder that the late 90s through early 2000s were a unique and interesting time to be alive (and young). There was a lot happening. I hope Leo still collects, a mib G1 collection was pretty tough to assemble even back then. It must be near impossible or at least impossibly priced now.

>>11682224
Not as many Americans would consider you a freak as you may think. 80s retrowave has been going on for over a decade now. Retro collectors are everywhere. And a lot of people wish that they could go back to a simpler time.

>>11682248
AFA-graded MISB Megatron is a $10,000 toy now. It easily could cost $200,000 to collect the first two years of Transformers in perfect MISB condition. It's not cheap anymore.

>And a lot of people wish that they could go back to a simpler time.
im glad more people think this way then...
In eruope it's cheap and easy because we have a lot of old folks so our trift stores are full of vintage stuff.
You can just walk in and buy a CD-player or any stuff like that or a vintage shirt. (maybe it's like that in America too - idk).

I used to think i'm an autisto/shizo but...there are no negative effects of this lifestye really. Only positives.

May be a bad pic, but looks like she has not aged well. Sad. Cool about the legos, though.

>>11682375
Shit yea, that's the poster! My FiL had a pic sent to him of it and in the story he tells his friend was the one who found the storage room or something. I forget the details because he told me the story years ago, but I distinctly remember it being stored away in some forgot storage room or something.

Funny thing is one of my wife's friends also said she had a story about a movie poster and when she was telling my wife, she realized it was the same story. Turns out my wife's friend and my FiL friend were related somehow.

https://artdaily.cc/news/77593/Discarded-Frankenstein-movie-poster-sells-for--358-500-at-Heritage-Auctions-sale

This is an article that actually talks about the sale and even mentions the guy who found it. I guess Kirk didn't realize that Long Island is in NY, not Canada, but all the other details line up.
