This Is What Two Years of Toy Collecting Looks Like 

Make a video showcasing your book collection!

You have quite a few cool figures, well done. Also, I genuine envy people who don't have to constantly fight with dust. At times, I feel like I'm the king of dust. I wipe my shelves and dust keeps coming back, like a horror movie.

I did find this video much better than the normal run-of-the mill collection tours, as you comment so often on how certain items reference your childhood - it makes it more intimate and personal, than just being shown a parade of figures. Future value of my own collection is completely unimportant to me, so everything comes out of its "plastic prison" -IMO, these little lads and lasses are effectively 3d sculptures that should be viewed from all angles to really be able to appreciate the artistry that has gone into crafting them. You have a really nice collection Josh, and just remember... Whatever you collect, "space" is the enemy! LLAP, Dude. ;)

To not be one of the many toy collectors I follow on youtube, you have easily one of the cleanest collections I've seen. I always say (tho don't always follow) less is more. I really like how each of your more finished cubes tells a little story/has a focus. It's a really nice curated approach to this toy nonsense we love. And your video was just a lovely exploration of your collection. You make great videos, so I shouldn't be surprised, but this was just really informative and illuminating when you talked about why you collected what you have. Just a marvelous bit of business. This is going to turn into one of my cozy videos that I return for often -- for the relazing nature of it and for some ideas!

I can't believe I missed this video. Man, I need friends locally that are into all this stuff lol As a photographer and fellow collector, welcome to the club! Whether its 20 or 2 years. Thank you for all the content you make!

Definitely show off the comic book collection! Make the video!

Was waiting on this 🎉❤ love your channel, your collection is dope!!

Had no idea you did toy photography less than 30 seconds in and this video allready slaps. That quick follow🤘🏾

Great collection and video room tour showcase brother! Keep it up!

I'm totally down to see your your trade paperback collection! By the way the most marvel epic collections I've got is Spider-Man too!

The collection is impressive, but the presentation of the collection is to die for!

I love everything about this video! You definetely rekindled my childhood dream of collecting what I love! Thank you for that and sharing your stories! 💕

I really loved this video! I loved how you took time and really went through it all. Definitely let’s see more, like the comics.

super inspirational. Thank you for making this! I can't wait to build a proper display like yours

I just started collecting a few months ago! This video was a pleasant surprise, thanks dude!

Not bad for 2 years. Your photography is incredible. And you put together a great collection in a short time. Be well

Loved the look through the collection. Very specific. Very cool.

Awesome video, and great collection. I have those Toy Biz X-Men figures myself, still in the box they came in. 😎🤙🏽

Marvel Retro 3.75 is what got me into toy collecting aswell! Very cool collection mate.

Thank you for sharing your collection, enjoyed the musings/info too. The '90s ToyBiz figures are so much fun when displayed all together. Much like Playmates '80s/'90s action figures, so much colour combined with great sculpts. Thx again.

Thanks for mentioning Viva Spiderman in one of your videos. I watched it and liked it a lot.

Awesome collection bro!

Welcome to the community! It's almost more addictive than collecting comics😊

I love your channel. Yes, please do a video on your comics!

Really cool collection you got there! I also started collecting during the pandemic 😂

Love when you talk about any toys, gotta say my fav part was your custom cape on McFarlane Superman!

Thank you for sharing this. I’m a covid collector, myself, so I can totally relate! Still love action figures to this day though!

I’ve been wanting a comic showcase from you!!

Show us the books! Loved seeing your collection!

Please do a comic collection video!!!

As a collector and a content creator as well I'm inspired too Broooo keep em coming bro!

Great video! I'm a collector myself; figures, books and comics. I'd love to see one about your comic book collection, that'd be awesome!

Hey! Love the collection Where did you get the lights for the cubes?

We need the vid of the book shelf!!!! Looks like a well thought and organized collection

As a fellow covid collector, this was a fun watch! Definitely do one for your comics next, would love to hear your thoughts on all those Epics.

Great layout! As a collector going on 20 years now my collection is constantly changing, you just get used to it hah

You have some really cool stuff.

your videos have top tier quality

Looking good!✌🏽

3:36 "I made a lot of late night trips to avoid shoppers" I live in Austin, TX USA about 2 months into the pandemic, 2020. All the overnight stores closed their doors before 10p. To this day, 2023, they still haven't reopened any of the 24hr stores. Wal-Mart closes at @11p and Target @10p. Really sucks, I really miss shopping at 2am in the morning

The mark of a great Superman action figure is the S shield and that McFarlane Superman nailed it! Also, I freaking love your Watchmen enamel pin *chef's kiss*

nice collection dude

Definitely do a book shelf tour

Nice start on a figure collection. Love the old 90s Marvel and Spawn. Lots if nostalgia there. I cherry pick the Legends as well. I havent done any videos on those yet, but if you want to see what a 15 + years of collecting (onesixth scale figures and statues) looks like feel free to check out my collection tours and Showcase videos! Again nice start on the collection! Good luck in the future! 🍻

This channel is great! i've been collecting turtles for 2 years.

Dude your the best!!!!!

Lots of cool pieces here. Was the video really that long? Felt like talking to a collector friend for just a few minutes lol

Holy! I have the same exact Toybiz Spider-man that's a remnant of my childhood toys before I got back into collecting more recently.

i started collection a little bit before you did, in 2019, i started smallish only owning 12 figures at the end of the year, but similar to you i became a "covid collector" since i was lucky enough to not get fired during the pandemic i was able to buy more figures (also my other hobbies besides drawing were put on hold due to the lockdown) now 4 years later my collection has slowly taken over my room, my comics collection has been shifted over towards my closet in short boxes, sadly i cannot display my entire collection as my shelf space is limited (landlord says that i cannot have shelves that are taller than 5 feet and my old ones were 7 feet tall, ironically my collection was smaller back then so only about half of the shelves had stuff in them)

I'd like to see your comic collection, especially your Epic Collections as I've become a blooming collector of those myself.

sweet set up

Watching this video reminded me of my collection and the way I collect stuff, during the pandemic I became obsessed with completing the dcuc justice league also during my teenage years I became obsessed with the comedian pin, we're did you get the stand for the pin ? It was a nice idea to make sets of stuff and pair dark knight and watchmen

U got me pulling out my collection

“He has the box!” 🎶

good. video. Panels. to pixels. cool. collection sir. have a. good. weekend

Definitely wanna hear that Spanish Batman 89 storytime! Could only imagine what the joker voiceover sounded like hopefully it was as good as jack nickelson

I started collecting just marvel legends about two years ago…. Went a lil crazy and now have about 1000 or so figures…

GR8 video!! Have to say you were spot on with most of your takes. 100% agree with you on Hasbro needing to make more "artist inspired" figures. That said, they recently nailed a two John Cassady versions of the X-Men. Both Cyclops and the White Queen are taken from his early-to-mid 2000s run on Astonishing X-Men (of which I highly recommend!). My favorite from that line though is the new 'J. Scott Campbell' Rogue!! I have to disagree on the 2K Spiderman, sorry. That's a McFarlane inspired version IMO. You can tell by the eyes, body, and especially the feet. The webbing is more detailed as well, which is more akin to McFarlane vs Bagley. Anyway, I'm new to channel but will give you a like and hit the subscribe button (as you RU-vidrs are always going on about lol). Keep up the good work!!! PS: Your photos are BEAUTIFUL

I had the near entire run of Marvel Legends and related lines until the Hasbro takeover (and their big pause). Got back into it early this year. Not going to repeat at my same scale but am going to focus on just lineups from various Marvel arcade games.

Yeah we need that comic collection next asap lol

Should make a video covering your comic collection and brief comments/ recommendations for stories

Yr capes are amazing

I see some classic xmen in there I had as a kid

@30:44 IMO., You need to take the old (older design) 3/4" Super & Bats figs out of there & place hem w/ there more properly scaled analogs on the right (the Burton shelf). Yet leave the vehicle, because it's boxed & helps to bring out the bright DC 7" color scheme. > It looks antique store- wonky, having like 3 different scales of figures on 1 contained bordered shelf. But it is your collection obviously.. GOOD LUCK & Thanks for the video!

Amazing

Thank y, Josh, this was great! What about just using the red on your Watchmen button as guidelines and painting directly over that one? I could talk about toys for hours, so I'll just leave it here and say thanks again!

cool mate , nice collection !i'm a covid collector too but i'm in kamen rider toys

What type of shelves do you use?

That is the 75th anniversary version sir. The 80th is plastic and i had been looking for 75th for a long time too many fakes out there so i settled for the new disney parks captain america shield also all metal but yours is perfection!

Two years... That's rookie numbers

I started really collecting after covid but I started collecting just to custom a Marvel Thunderbolts team

Hush is fun and people are allowed to like things. I have the McFarlane death metal superman and I honestly love him. Thwt edgy design looks dope next to the 90s kon-el super boy ^_^

Amo esse canal

Ive been collecting toys since 2015! Mostly hot wheels! Since theres so many pop culture cars! I collect action figures here and there! Im into spider man, deadpool and batman figures!

Uh, I would love to know where that Arc Reactor prop kit came from (I know you said AliExpress, but without at least a seller, it would be a crapshoot 😢)...

Please talk more about your comic books!

Loved the video and dropped a follow on insta 👍 My whole collection is based around a Jabbas palace and cantina dio surrounded by the scum and villainy of Star wars plus some cameos from other ne'er-do-wells like Howard the duck and Alf.

Really great and overall clean collection mate. But no offense, do you really have do keep tilting the camera from side to side? Was throwing me off

Put that cookie down...now!!!

Please make a video about the Comicbook and movie the crow

I don't know if you notice before but your Mojo figure is one of those toothless variants thanks to QC from Hasbro. Nevertheless that is an amazing collectable.

I replaced the head on my mafex dark knight triumphant with the mcfarlane dkr batman head

You should see what 35 years of collecting looks like and getting paychecks worth each week.

Cool

Comics and TPB!!

April 2nd I will celebrate 30 years as a Collector! I have built 10 different Earth's, I have approximately 5,500. Sounds like a lot but there are You Tubers with 2, 3, and even 4 times what I have.

Great toy collection now your comic book collection

Please make a book video

Oh no! Your Mojo is missing his top row of teeth!

And who were you with when you bought those Batmans, Josh..? 😇

nice

Rob liefeld fan? I didn’t even know that was a thing

great items . i have some superheroes figures on my channel , i really enjoyed your video , thank you

Open dat turbo if u find a carded one from when da movie dropped

Comic showcase pls

Wow I'm just saying thank you for this evening true powerful video essay is indeed in my opinion truth be told the truth and food for thought. Again thank you for your deep point of view.

"Marvel Legends Mystique, i was feeling like a creep for buying her at the time" While the comic behind depict a woman's face with white drops on it. Yeah. Not sure Mystique is the worse on that shelf.

Mmmm I'm gonna say that Spider-Man was more Larson (23:10 mark). Eff Mark Bagley.

Make a stop motion vidio with your toys
