Its obvious that we all pretty much collect multiple lines of figures. So my question to everyone is: what is the gem of your collection and why? Mine is the 12inch Ghostbusters As a kid I LOVED Ghostbusters. Both the movies and the cartoon. My dad had taped the 1st movie and about 8 episodes of the cartoon on a VHS and my brothers and I would watch it over and over again. When mattycollector took on this line I was ecstatic that we would be getting new figures. I have bought every figure and prop they have released. My brothers were in town for Thanksgiving and I showed them these as well as the props. It was cool to see the looks on their 30 year old faces (especially when I handed them the Neutrino wand). It was like we 6 years old again. Priceless. So again, what is your gem of you collection and why? Share some pics.

Nice stuff PJ ! I just sold 90% of my Batman stuff due to space so seeing your collection makes me jealous. I especially like the Hot Toys Adam West and the Adam West sig. Such a cool and unique piece. Thanks for sharing.

The gem of my collection is definitely my 12 inch talking Archer from Small Soldiers. Growing up I was obsessed with that movie and the fact that there could one day be toys that talked and were smart. I remember seeing the talking Archer and wanting it immediately, but never got him. Years later (earlier this year actually) I went on eBay and found one MOC in great condition. Eyes are SLIGHTLY off, but it's not really noticeable unless you obsess over your toys like I do lol.
I always wanted to buy one of the movie prop puppets they used but the price was way too much, so this makes as a nice addition to my collection and probably my favorite toy.

Nice! I still want to pick up that HBK and my replica belts are high on the list of favorites. I currently have the Winged Eagle, WWE Spinner, new logo current belt but my favorite is my casted Attitude Area Heavyweight Championship. Of your replicas, which one you like the best?

Lots of gems in my collection but this one is especially meaningful. Signed and personalized to me by the man himself.

Is that version 1 or 2? I had bought version 2 but it was too big to fit in my display case so I ended up returning it. I've heard that version 1 is much smaller.

It's a version 2. It is quite large but it is the Belt I wanted the moment I saw it. It just fits in my Detolf case with the side plates touching the side of the glass. The version 1 is smaller due to the plates not having a black outline.

my boxed Hasbro talking Ultimate Warrior. Not only is it probably the most valuable toy I have, but it has a ton of sentimental value. It was my grandma's for years and she would never let me play with it. Now as most everyone does when they age, she's not in the best of health, so looking at it does remind me of when she was in good health. I have an Ultimate Warrior watch in the package that holds similar value, and a talking Macho Man keychain that holds even more because until she fell ill, it was on my grandma's keychain.

It was one of those things where I have a job, I'm single and have a bit of expendable income so I decided to do my inner child a favor and pick him up. One of these days I'd love to get my hands on one of the Commando or Gorgonite puppets that were used for the movie. They go upwards of $3000 though. PS- I like your gems as well!

That's a tough one for me. It would have to be my Hot Wheels Treasure Hunt cars which are ultra rare. All of my Super Treasure Hunt cars are in protective blisters and hanging on my Wall.

Im not familiar with those, what exactly are the Treasure Hunt Cars? They are a special Hot Wheels car that is extremely rare and features shiny spectraflame paint and rubber tires, they aren't packed in every case of Hot Wheels cars. They go for several times the original retail price
