What's the pride and joy of your collection?

What's the one piece you would never sell, the one piece you would rescue above all others if your place were on fire?

Damn.... My dog... most priced piece in my collection.

I'd let it all burn and I'd sell anything for the right price.

So in this scenario, am I not the one that lights the fire while hysterically screaming, "I'm finally free!" .

Yah... I have a man crush on this guy XD.

If I'm going to answer seriously, it wouldn't be anything toy related.

Otherwise, my 18" ToyBiz uber jointed S2 Spidey figure - although, that guy will outlast all the high end malarkey that folks drool over.

My collection is ever growing, and perfect to me as far as content and overall aesthetic. However, I wouldn't lose an ounce of sleep if it all burned to ash, and I would gladly sell anything for the right price.

I guess right now I would say... HT leonidas




I'm probably going to sell him soon though, since the price is high, and I'm still pretty certain HT or another 1/6 company will produce another soon. Plus I'm limiting the rubber in my collection after ED-209.

My Vette.

The dolls can burn.

An interesting question because there's two answers for me - it's really two questions. You first asked, what's the pride and joy of my collection. I have several prototypes that fit that bill, one of a kind stuff that I'd never part with. But then you added "what would you rescue..." and that's a different story. If I could only rescue one toy, it would be Eric the Viking from the Best of the West. Easily replaced for less money than most Hot Toys figures these days, he's not something I showcase in my collection. But this was one of my toys as a kid, and therefore this specific one can't be replaced - it's all about nostalgia.

Thanks for all the input everyone!

Michael, I've been reading your reviews for the past few years, they helped introduce me to companies like Hot Toys. Thanks so much!

Leonidas is a great-looking figure man, my 7-inch NECA just doesn't compare.

My wife and daughter.. It would be too hard to pick one at that moment...

Great display, Alpha Scale. I wish I had as much space as your display room.

Anyway. the pride and joy of my collection would have to be the 1/6 89 Batmobile, Tumbler, and Bat-Pod.

Thanks man.

Seeing as I have insurance, I'd be good. But if we mean it in the sense of what would be my favorite above all, well it would be something I don't own just yet. But it would be (assuming it's in great condition) Batgirl PF. I would also save a couple of my Batgirl comics. But in the real scenario, I'd be fine with it burning.

4th Doctor I guess! Hard to pick one!

This is a heavy contender for that figure I'd pull out the fire..

What kind of Vette?

Pick the wife, the daughter can be reproduced.
