I just finished watching cribs ( [img]redface.gif[/img] ) and I noticed that Xzibit the rapper has about 40-50 McF figures, and it set me thinking as to who else collects, you guys know anyone?

The dork from the rap band Twizted (No I don't listen to that crap) has a SWEET collection of Mego Official Worlds Greatest Super-Heroes.
And of course, Kevin Smith, and that other dork Seth Green, and I am sure there are others that have slipped my mind.
I listen to that crap [img]biggrin.gif[/img] Speaking of Mego, are those MIP Superheros in your collection Mego figs TCM?
I saw a bunch of McFarlane figures in the background of Jack Osbourne's room on the Osbournes once.
I know Wes Borland, formerly of Limp Bizkit (and the only cool one) has a HUGE figure collection. I saw an interview with him once, and he has a ton of McFarlane and other figures all over in one room. Made me like him even more! He even had a bunch of them on their tour bus. I remember it was when series 12 just came out, because he had the set of packaged figures on the bus, and someone made reference to the Reanimated Spawn figure...
Jor is famous and he collects. Or so I heard.

...then yep!
Oh, and no offence with that "crap" comment, I just don't dig them myself. [img]tongue.gif[/img]
They're ace, love GA. And what the hell is that Green Goblin plush/beanie thing you have? Where'd you get it from?
Thanks man. The plush Green Gobin is from Japan, he was a "crane toy" which you could win in one of those crane machines that are huge in Japan. If I remember right, I think I got mine off eBay.

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">hahaha yeah, the guy was doing stage musicals (Phantom?) last I heard.Quote:

<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.Quote:

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.

Haha Table, I was just gonna post that same link for CM.
<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">Thanks SW- that's crazy that Ferry even goes so far as to take claims on the "Dr. Acula" name too. Gene Simmons' story was also interesting...Quote:

I think generally they do, but I think it has to do with the contract that was signed and/or how generous the toy manufacturer is. At least in the old days, because I remember Harrison Ford saying Kenner used to send him boxes of Star Wars toys and he would just give them to his nephew.
I can't think of anything that was more merchandised then '66 Batman!
Gotta wonder........
Man, what a killer show, I wish they would release the seasons on DVD! I have the 60's Batman movie on DVD, but I want all the episodes!!!
Cesar Romero RUUUULES!

KISS is way more licsensed, you can get a KISS Koffin for god's sake! I have the batman movie on dvd, it's ace. You wanna know why Batman and Robin was crap? There was no Bat Shark Reppelant Spray. [img]biggrin.gif[/img]
Trish Stratus and Al Snow of the WWE collect McF, and Jakks wrestling obviously...
Does a celebrity get a free one if something is made of them?
If so, I'd love to see Adam West's basement....
