When I moved to Vienna I started to seriously collect toys…

Some toys I had since I was a kid, that is I never sold them on flea markets as I had done with most of my old toys, Star Wars, Transformers, MOTU,  LEGO, Action Force, Manta Force, Robotech and so on…

Most of them where sold and those who I had left where later disassembled and broken up for use in my Warhammer 40k hobby as a teen, a robotech Gladiator robot made perfect rubble terrain for the battle field and a battle beast arm was perfect to use for a Chaos mutation for my Warrior who had mutated in my Warband…

Then when my teen wargaming hobby stopped Being active and I started a new era of coffee, party and beer started the Warhammer stuff ended up in drawers (I only sold them a few years ago) and I started having a toy-free epok in my life…

But in my mid twenties when I was hungover at Sundays I started going on flea markets, I had always wanted my little ponies as a kid, but since nearly all my friends was male and I was too afraid to break the gender norms ( buying a doll ) I only envied my sister for her stable and cute ponies, still I never dare to buy  on for my self…

But now when I was an adult and had opened up to my real self, I just wanted a MLP, so I started buying one at first, then of cause when I came over sea ponies, I always wanted one as a kid…

But still I collected only occasionally, a Britains Deetail here and a Masters of the universe figure or a Yoda there…

But when I lived in Vienna I started buying more and more, all the sudden I has boxes of collections of all softs…

When I moved to Sweden to live with my mum, I started collecting more and more, the tiny room I rented was cramped with collections…

they had somehow become a burden, so when I was trapped at home During covid, I started selling off every collection I had, except for my LEGO ( which I feature here regularly )  but I have even started thinking about selling it… it has started to take up a lot of space? Perhaps I could afford a trip to Vienna if I sold it???

Oh anyhow! These are two figures I bought in Vienna, two knock-off MOTU muscle-men my wife let me have them on display in our living room/kitchen on a shelf for a while…

Peace and Noise!

/ MushroomBrain not as much of a collector as used to be :)
