Famous Collectors?

Ice T, and Snoop too I believe, collect horror movie figures (mentioned Freddy, Jason, etc). I think it was on Conan when they mentioned this. So I'm sure they've got a few MMs.

Oh, almost forgot- Samuel L Jackson's a comic collector...somewhere I heard a story about him buying a Mace Windu figure at a comic shop. He's gotta have an MM Shaft if he collects.

In the early 90's, there was some interview with Quentin Tarantino at his place, but all he had were dolls (no figures) of musicians. Including Boy George! odd...

Sabastian Bach (former Skid Row singer) collects KISS figures and merchandise and also collects comics, so he probably collects other figures as well.

Wait, is he still famous? [img]eek.gif[/img]

Rob Zombie's got one of the coolest collections of stuff......
(from what I hear from my kids)

Forrest J. Ackerman had the coolest collection in the world

Both of those guys have AMAZING collections. Another guy who has a sweet horror, and Japanese toy collection, is Danzig!

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">Ackerman's got a practical wharehouse of stuff! I've seen this on TV ages ago, they took a short tour through the place. That's enough for a museum of classic pop culture right there.

Yep, Uncle Forry used to give tours of the Ackermansion AKA Ackermuseum. Since his trial, he has had to liquidate a lot, and move into a smaller place, but he still gives tours. I have met him, and he is one of the nicest people you could ever meet!

He gave me this pin when I donated to his "cause" a few years ago...

I know Danzig's a big comic guy but I didn't know about him & figures. The Ackermonster went to trial? That's also news to me.

Here ya go CM-
