How and when did you start collecting?
My addiction started with the McFarlane Twisted OZ when I was a teenager. After that I had a dream with the “X-men vs Sentinel 1″ (literally) and I decided to get totally into polystone.
What do you collect? Does your collection have a theme, such as Star Wars, Batman, etc.?
I collect ALL I like. I usually go for 1/4 and bigger scales of very different themes such as comic, films, games, art toys, etc.
What makes your collection unique?
My collection is alive, I mean its always changing. I rarely keep one piece…once I complete a series (Avengers, Lord of the Rings, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, etc.) I broke the display and begin again with other themes. I know it is the opposite of a collector role, but hey thats the way I rock and man, its funny!!!
What are your favorite or the most prized pieces in your collection?
I can tell you the pieces I bought more than once:
- Sideshow Chucky (2 times)
- Hulk vs Spiderman Diorama (2 times)
- X-men vs Sentinel 1 (3 times)
- Patient Zero life-size bust (3 times)
And a piece I’ll never sell is the Lobo Premium Format™ Figure by Mr. Canale (Thanks friend for making my dream come true).
What items are on your wish-list?
