Wow, thank you for all the welcomes!

I like the image the title of this topic conjures up.

When I set out to create my toy-centric web site, I decided it should be an escape from everything wrong in the world and be a fun place and about fun stuff...so I imagined an island of toys.  :)  No more in depth answer than that really.  Just daydreaming while at work one day.

Glad to hear you're not a MIB guy, seems a bit pointless to me not to get it all out and at least have a play once, but I admit I do have some stuff still in boxes, just because I have so much there's no need to get it all out yet.

This is why I have things still MIB also.  :)  Sometimes if the packaging is really nice though I'll save it.  When I rotate what's displayed on my shelves, I'll put some back in their temporary cardboard homes.

I collected/built/painted Gundam models up until 3 years ago. I managed to amass quite a large amount of kits. My favorite were the perfect grade Zaku kits

Oddly enough my very first Gundam kit was a PG Zaku II (green).  Might have been silly to jump right into the PG's, but they fit in nicely with my 1/6 figures at about 12" tall.  I have a red version also, but he's still boxed up.  Those take a LONG time to assemble.   :lol:

Hi, welcome from Oregon!

I used to collect some 1/6 figures but Playmo and other smaller scale stuff has taken over my attention.

Hi and welcome to this forum,

I'm new and still learning "how to".  I've been working on my Pirates and Knights and had my daughter in-law take some pictures for me.  Maybe one day I will learn what to do with them  :lol:.

Hi Iot!

I'm guessing your Playmobil collection doesn't yet have the striped-T-shirt wearing new Robin Hood special. 

Playmobil isn't the retro-childhood utopia it once was, but a smiling (leering) veneer, a monument to castles in the sky and the shadows that fall between ideas and their conception.*

* I got that from the 2008 3D Playmobil catalog page 6, the artist's commentary.
