Have you seen a bigger TMNT collection?
Not yet.
Keep watching in the coming weeks!
No, this is a legit Turtle museum
I'd rather be addicted to toys than drugs! I love seeing these collections. My collection are old die cast robots. 80's Transformers, Voltron, Japanese stuff. Hopefully you guys do an episode on that type of collection!
Any hobby or activity can become addictive. Most people find “the hunt” as a positive to reduce stress, social community building, and sense of accomplishment. The positives out weigh the negatives.
Very well said!
I remember years ago..i always had to hide my toys from my bedroom into another room whenever i brought over a girl to bang. Lol it got tiring every weekend of having to hide my toys i like to look at everyday!
This was not needed
@@user-dk3up2nl1m no, no you didnt
@@user-dk3up2nl1m I never hid mine and nobody ever made mean comments or left or anything negative, either positive recognition, curiosity, or nothing 😊
The fact that some people have a problem with other people who collect toys or doll's is the real issue.
Why is it a problem for those who don't collect this stuff?
How does it effect you?
People who don't understand never will, and those who love collecting toy's never have to explain to other collectors why we love this stuff.
I'm a doll, action figure and toy collector and I love the whole complicated and exciting experience of being in this hobby. It's instinctive and so easy and organic to love this stuff! It makes me happy!
The title of this video is intriguing. Any kind of collecting has the potential to get really OCD and border on hoarding. I obsessed over a physical movie collection years ago until I called it quits. Surprisingly, I now have more money and less stress haha.
Did you keep what you had or did you sell it all?
They’re currently in boxes. Figure I’ll just keep them at this point.
Very interesting
I saw the start of a Howdy Doody collection.
I think it’s interesting to see someone focus on a single IP like this.
Yea? You have a broad collection?
Its awesome seeing different collector's set ups of there tmnt great content stay bless 💪☝
Thanks for watching and commenting!
TMNT were what inspired me to become an artist when I was gifted some of their graphic novels was back in 1990. I was blown away. Still am. Same with “The Mask”, even though I loved the Jim Carrey movie, I was really hoping for something closer to the destruction and mayhem the mask caused in his comics. I even met the artists and writer at a comic con who further inspired me to keep creating things.
You just made me look up the mask comic
There is a fine line between hoarding and collecting. My cut off point is I try to curate my collection and that if I start forgetting things I have I need to do a clear out and curate my primary pieces of the collection. It helps keep things fresh and makes it so that if I need cash or need to downsize quickly, no longer painful, just sad to see the pieces go.
I wish my last name was the name of a Turtle 😂😂
Everyone has their favorite Turtle, mine is Michelangelo.
That’s awesome!
Mine is Splinter
I don't!
You don’t?
Raphael
Very impressive. It is addictive. I took a break and even sold off a lot of stuff, only to come back and start again later in life. I’m always looking for new ways to store all of it too. It’s fun. It’s a hassle too to keep up on it all. Expensive as well. I recently invested in acrylic jackets for a large part of my sealed in package collection and its cost me over $1000.
Yes, that’s the expenses they don’t talk about
Wow...thats more like a Museum than a personal collection! Ive been collecting tmnt since it aired in the late 80s...but this is another level!
Ha. Right?
Love to see the collection. I have lego and my big collection is rolling stones memorabilia.
Oh that’s very interesting!
I love TMNT also, impressive collection, Cowabunga man.
Just discovered a couple turts I didn’t know I needed. Thanks a lot!! 😂
Oh? You!?!?!? Which ones?
What a room and collection! WOW! 👏 lucky guy!
He’s worked hard at collecting it
His TMNT collection is NUTS. 🤩🤩 Love to see it! 👌🏾💜
This one is nuts. The next one is nuts too
Yeah out everything that pinball machine is the gem I remember a Amusement park had one where I grew up was always someone playing it just a hood classic
What amusement park?
This is an incredible collection! Thank you for sharing
I just get the ones from my childhood, the characters i like, the rare ones im familiar with. I just avoid being a completist and i get everything loose without accessories.
Good plan!
@@ToyAttics yessir! Learned my lesson long time ago with getting every toybiz marvel legends🤢
@@FirstLast-fc7dt get them all?
@@ToyAttics i had the regular series from 1 to modok wave. Then traded everything for a vintage diecast japanese robot. Never going back to being a completist ever. Its mentally draining having so much stuff. Better to minimise the collection.
That’s a healthy attitude
That was an awesome collection. I like that 3D painting/picture his buddy did for him!
Absolutely insane collection,thanks for filming and sharing!
Glad you enjoyed! Thanks for commenting !
THIS IS ONE OF TE BESTEST COLLECTION, I HAVE EVER ❤👀'EN!!! THANK YOU 4 SHARING!!!!!❤😂🤣🙏🫶👍❤️
Waiting to hit the lottery. Build an enormous showroom and fill it up.
What are your lucky numbers?
Dont need the lotto just buy bit by bit in a few years you will have a ton these things take time
Wow. Great video. I wonder if it’s easier to collect in Vegas? I bet a lot of folks sell off their collections around there.
I wonder the same thing
Dude has everything very nice collection
He really does!
Thanks dude! this turned out great. 🐢🔥🙌
No problem 👍glad you liked it!
Great videos thank you for sharing. I wish you would show more close ups of the collection. His loose collection looks amazing.
I feel like there were a lot of close ups.
@@ToyAtticsthere weren’t.. that entire room and almost no close ups of each individual shelf
Yo!!!!!! That pinball machine is awesome!!!!!!!!!
It really is!
Amazing collection. Kowabunga!
Radical!
I used to collect back in 2007, I have to ask do you have the Japanese Mutations briefcase that transformes into the channe 6 news building? Its a real thing, it was a cardboard skyscraper with a cardboard chain link fence around it, I would see it pop up on Japanese auction sites back in the day. It was kind of like the old Kenner cardboard play sets from Starwars.
I don’t, and Queen G doesn’t, but other people we’ve interviewed do.
Nice toy store you have there in your closet.
I’m sure he’d love hearing that
Nice Ninja Turtles collection!
I wish I took care of my Ninja Turtle toys when I was younger HAHA Oh well..........
Already loving all the art he has
So good right?
@@ToyAttics it's a massive collection
You should see what’s coming next week
Yes, but its not a directly bad addiction like smoking or drinking, or even drinking coffee. Its something I do once in a while that gives me a high but i can always come back to that high and dont need to spend more money
I would say you’re talking about a hobby. An addiction means you have no control.
@ToyAttics i mean, yes but there are many levels to an addiciont. I know a lot of people addicted to cigarettes and coffee, they dont waste all of their money on that but they can't go too much time without it. I think its the same with most toy collectors, you're always in the look for new toys even if its just once in a while
You don’t know that he’s wasting all of his money on this
@@ToyAttics its totally not that, if I made it seem that way. Im saying it is an addiction in the sense that you're always looking for more and more, even if you're happy with your own stuff.
Awesome collection!!!
Yea!? Thanks for watching our Toy Documentary!
It’s turtle time!
It is indeed
So dope!!!
Thanks for commenting!
I’m going to turtles mini con tomorrow to meet Kevin. Are you local to NH too?
We are not
@@ToyAttics Dang! Should be a good show. It’s the 40th and he’s from here so it should be pretty good. Hoping to find some new stuff for the collection. Nice collection btw. You have many figures I still need I’m very jealous.
Oh, I’m not the one in the video. I’m the one filming
My storage unit was broken into. Lost alot. But now my collection is a museum. Keep the dream alive.
What do you collect? How much did you lose in the break in?
Im addicted than lol i have one 18x18 foot room full of batman 1989 -1993 and tmnt 1988-1993
oh wow! Where are you located?! Would love to film!
Does he have the TMNT RPG books?
That’s a good question. You should ask him on Instagram
Is there a mcfarlane toys related episode? New subscriber here I guess I could just go look right 😂
There could be. There can be.
@@ToyAttics youtube.com/@dHuntersReviews?si=GhBThOKhtusTINP7 gots a ton of Mcfarlane’s js ✌️
Oh wow!
This guy loves turtles!
Yes he does
Awesome
❤
Love it?
Siq. In the best way.
Yea?
🆒😎🥳
Where do i find a straw hat for my 1/4 neca donnie?
It's on the edge of hoarding.
It’s pretty close isn’t it?
@ToyAttics I didn't mean it as an insult either, it's just that 'our collections' are often questionable.
@@user-qd9mm5mt4i we didn’t think you did and don’t think Ethan would either
As a large collector myself it's definitely a fine line but I wouldn't have it any other way lol
Just started watching this channel 4 videos in is it just TMNT heavy?
It's moving away from it!
@@ToyAttics it’s cool been enjoying the videos turtles my 3rd favorite line
What’s one and two?
@@ToyAttics MOTU n GI Joe
After that meatcanyon video I slow down a bit on my figure collecting
What?
@@ToyAttics meatcanyon he’s CZcamsr who makes crazy from nostalgia to his own original stuff if you ever have time go to his page and watch the Melvin series I think it was the latest Melvin that talks about collecting
I did it to make money 😂
You know whats crazy when all yall old guys die the value of vintage toys is gonna drop low they wont be worth anything no more because the new generation dont like toys and dont know anything about the vintage ones 💀
Your dead ? Why did you put a dead skull? You talk like your not into toys because your a young punk but yet your on here watching and commenting. 💀
It’s a form of art. Collectables will always be collectables just like weird paintings sell for millions.
Well all know your obsessed with those whack ass Fortnite toys.
@@reign_wwe those Fortnite toys are cheaper and better quality than the ones y'all collect 💀🤣
show me a man that doesn’t match his voice 😂
What do you mean?
