How and when did you start collecting?
Growing up as an avid Batman fan and an artist, I value and admire great pieces of art. That’s how I view toys and statues, they are pieces of art. Â At a very young age, I started collecting Batman action figures that lead me to an even bigger collection in my adult life. Â Started from regular action figure to high end action figures and statues. Â I’m not slowing down, it’s my lifelong passion for sure.
My collection grew so much to a point where even my collection room has been seen across social media by so many people.
What do you collect? Does your collection have a theme, such as Star Wars, Batman, etc.?
Mainly, 80% of my collection is Batman. Then the other 20% are Marvel, RoboCop, Aliens and Predators.
What makes your collection unique?
My collection is unique because it’s well kept and very well displayed. I try to keep them setup like in a museum or in a special room, not part of a living room (like a side decoration). I keep my collection in a dedicated room, so they are very special – where even guests and friends who comes to visit, they wanna see the room.
What are your favorite or the most prized pieces in your collection?
Oooooh….. this is a hard one.  So many pieces that I just love. My current top 6 would be:
- Studio scale Batwing (Toynami)
- Life size BATMAN bust (Sideshow)
- Premium Format BATMAN (Sideshow)
- BvS BATMAN one sixth scale (Hot Toys)
- Studio scale Batmobile (Toynami)
- Arkham Knight BATMAN (Prime 1)
What items are on your wish-list?
Life-Size Wolf Predator head from Sideshow. That’s my grail piece. I didn’t have enough money when it first came out. I need that so bad!!!
