Fantasy Toys - what do you have?

[Zander]

The brief article in Dragon 324 about Lego Castle got me wondering what fantasy toys other EN Worlders collect and how they're displayed.

I've been collecting fantasy toys for a few years. Here are pics of some of them as they appear on the shelves above/below my RPG books.

NB if you're using IE or another browser that resizes pictures, I strongly recommend that you enlarge these pics and scroll around. They look much better that way.

Questions & comments are welcome.

I've shown you mine, now let's see yours!

By the way, I got Morrus's permission to post this in the General forum.

When I was a kid, I was a big fan of the Playmobil medieval toys. I had 60 or so of them, along with a medieval house and a nice big castle and tower.

I've got a bit of a soft spot for Playmobil too. The viking (or giant depending on scale), one of the skeletons, the wood sprite/giant and the unicorn in the pics are all Playmobil.

Cool I don't play with toys anymore though Nor do I collect them. Do you have kids by chance? The couples house we play at has two boys and a girl and they have tons of fantasy toys.

No, I'm just a big kid myself. And, no, I don't play with my toys! {flashback to scene from Spaceballs} {/flashback} They're just there for display.

My wife routinely catches me 'role-playing' Dark Helmet with my toys.

Having kids helps.

Toy list:
Any McFarlane toys that double as gargantuan or colossal creatures - Sea Creature, demon Spawn, gothic spawn, some big fat samurai spawn, red dragon of Set (especially cool).
Toy dragons of the appropriate scale - Knights of Tir Na Nog Red dragon
Yu Gi Oh figs that fit the scale without looking too cartoony
Aragog the big spider from Harry Potter
Toy dinosaurs which fit the scale
Toy spiders, bugs, snakes, frog, animals, fish, dolphins, squid, etc.
Imaginext stuff - some kind of squid, looking at the pirate ship
Movie figurines in the 4" or less size used as giants.

Really any toy that might look ok on the battlegrid

Halloween is a great time to pick up assorted rubber vermin.

Legos are too small for my 2 kids under the age of 3.

C'mon! Jodyjohnson and I can't be the only folks on the boards with fantasy toys. There have to be others. So let's hear it.

I still have an inordinate amount of Legoes.

Aside from "Jennifer" in the back of the closet...

My brothers and I created a huge fantasy setting based on the lego medieval sets. We had this epic storyline going on for years (basically what you would get if you threw LOTR, Forgotten Realms-specifically Icewind Dale, Lone Wolf, Shannara, Earthsea, Ultima, and a few others into a blender). We named the characters, mapped out where eact playset was (on a huge continent), made an orcish army out of extra pieces (just an all-black figure with a black round piece instead of a head), made wizard staffs out of spears and poles (and burned them with cigarette lighters to mold them and make them look like gnarled wood), made daggers out of swords in the same way, cut helmets up to make different styles, rearranged arms and legs to get the looks we wanted for "our" characters. We still have a poster size map of the whole continent. All those sets are safely stored away at our parents house, untouched for years but we still refuse to part with them. Those were the days.

A friend of mine has a dragon dildo he ordered online, though I don't suppose grandma wants to hear about that...
