Toys and watches, anyone?

I don’t know if someone’s done this already, but what the hell. I’m doing it anyway.

They say men never really grow up. We just get bigger, earn a bit more, and start buying fancier toys. Anyone here still have a thing for childhood classics? Japanese Chogokin, action figures, Star Wars stuff, that kind of thing. I’ll kick things off.

This idea just came to me during a short break, so I didn’t prepare anything. Just grabbed whatever was lying around on my desk, threw a few reps next to some toys, and took a couple of quick shots. Unimpressive and nothing fancy, just to get the ball rolling.

Now let’s see yours. Show me what you’ve got and give me something to envy.

I collect older automotive toys from the 20’s-40’s!


I love these trucks!

Toy cars are another whole sector of the hobby I wouldn’t dare to touch. Once you start, there’s no finish line in sight. Just like your wallet — once it opens, it never really closes again.

My dad was a big toy and watch collector and he and I did it together. He passed away last year so it is up to me to carry on.

The robots are really cool. Lots of variations!

I’ve got a few Gunpla myself. Growing up in places like Hong Kong or Japan, guys my age couldn’t possibly have escaped Gundam — it was everywhere.
