If you’re like me you grew up on Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. I’m not sure the exact origin of this diecast sculpture but I think it the coolest rendition of Shredder I’ve ever seen. I crack a huge smile and am warmed by a wave of nostalgia every time I walk by this piece.

I have a couple McFarlane figurines left from about 20 years ago, when my desk space at work was covered in chotchkies like this. But I always loved this mini Ichiro drag bunt mini figurine.

So nice I bought it twice, kind of.
This WEC Ultimate Collection version of Stann’s figure was a Limited Edition /750. I was the kid in high school who would order the early UFC pay-per-views and invite buddies over. Thankfully, back then, World Extreme Cagefighting was free on Versus (remember that channel?! talk about a blast from the past!).

When I had a binder full of Pokémon grails and a display shelf full of these guys.
Loved collecting these figures almost as much as the cards.
Was stoked when I came across a booth at Collect-A-Con and was able to pick up a few, including this cute 'lil Poliwag.

Growing up I think I spent almost every dollar I made on these figurines. I probably have over 100 of them and most are still in their boxes. I always expected they would be worth $1000's one day but 12 year old me was really, really wrong. This set of four that I have is selling for $129 so ~$32 each 😢
