Cool shit you own.
 
Statues, toys, animal skulls, voodoo masks, it's all cool to post here.

I'll start off with a small Buddha my mother gave to me on my 12th birthday:

But little did I know this Buddha had a secret...until I picked it up:

Yeah, this was carved into the underside.



So what cool shit do you own and have pictures of?

Taco 01-10-2010 05:46 PM

that's probably the best statue base I've ever seen. I suppose owning a 1939 reichsmark (old nazi coin) is pretty cool. I like it.

My Gas mask placed over a fake skull and my wicker hat. I got the Gas Mask from a Comic book convention in Winter '08, and the hat as a present from my parents from their trip to New York (among other things).
The skull I bought myself.
Photobucket

Right to left: Atomic Lugnut, Iron Monger, Jesus Christ, and parts of Darth vader. Iron Monger is my favorite.
Photobucket

Various Non transformers: A Cylon, C3PO, Some Transformers that just make a bigger robot, Uncion Jack and some Magnet structures.
Photobucket

Some Stikfa, Detour and Optimus Prime pointing.
Photobucket

Fry and Bender. I got these in a Trade for some Deadpool toy. They're Alright. Bender's hatch opens and has a Cigar inside.
Photobucket

Various Transformers and a Terminator staring off into the distance pondering the meaning of life.
Photobucket

Most of my Transformers and also my calendar. I need a better camera.
Photobucket

This sits right beside my bed and is probably my favorite display. When I leave for college I am taking everything in this picture with me.

I have an alternate universe fry and leela figure set (1 of 2000).

Disgruntled Intern 01-10-2010 07:23 PM

It really creeps me out that a woman would give such a thing to her 12 year old daughter. Your affinity for loliporn now makes sense.

Pictures later.

I have some stuff I think is pretty awesome, but it's in another hemisphere. Will post later this week.

Aleks55 01-10-2010 07:35 PM

Man i wish I had some cool shit to take pictures of.

Well I have a gas mask, but somebody already posted that up here :(

Feel free to post away. I don't think anyone here will mind.

I don't own cool shit- cool shit owns me.

Leto 01-10-2010 08:37 PM

I own one of Adolf Hitler's petrified feces.

Disgruntled Intern 01-10-2010 10:13 PM

Mostly toys. Pictures of other crap tomorrow, probably.

This is the big-assed Hellboy rotocast figure Dorian surprised me with on my last birthday. In the holster sits a miniature Hellboy Qee I snagged while working at Gamestop long ago. [I moved him to the kitchen because his usual spot is so dimly lit, and the flash washed him out.]


http://c4.ac-images.myspacecdn.com/i...e7c271d737.jpg
Plex, Robocon, Brobee and PeeWee [also relocated due to general dimness].


http://c3.ac-images.myspacecdn.com/i...1b55a93d4e.jpg
I can't remember where I got these, but they're ceramic and heavy as fuck.


http://c2.ac-images.myspacecdn.com/i...a40a3f3731.jpg
This is our fireplace, and primary heat source, since I am a cheap fuck. We pretty much rented the place because of it.


http://c2.ac-images.myspacecdn.com/i...3c0baf6315.jpg
Axtrix in the middle, Dunnys everywhere else. I made the shadowbox. Sometimes I like it, most of the time I fucking loathe it.


http://c2.ac-images.myspacecdn.com/i...cee9912275.jpg
http://c1.ac-images.myspacecdn.com/i...7465a37228.jpg
R.Crumb's Fritz the Cat slip-on vans. I wear them to work, and get compliments daily. Which is funny, because none of them seem to have any idea what sort of comic they're actually indirectly complimenting.

http://c4.ac-images.myspacecdn.com/i...1ed9d58deb.jpg
My Gram-Gram painted this for me when I was like, oh, 19. She knows I love Komodo Dragons, so one day she just decided to paint it, I guess. She's completely self taught, and I fucking love it. The picture makes it look kind of washed out. Looks almost photo-realistic if not for the soft edges in person.

Pilot 01-10-2010 10:27 PM

Oh my god, the Komodo dragon is fucking GORGEOUS.

So, some of the "shit" I own is now up for sale:

Cool atomic shadowbox a-la Tim Burton

1950s era watercolors that go with the shadowbox pictured above.

Seriously, I've gotta raise some trip fundage in order to get down to Phoenix and back with the
Trans Am I bought (those who remember my blog.)

Oh, and for grins.... my TV set from 1959. Thus far it's needed naught but minor work.

Dig the set.

Color TV in the '50s was a toy for the wealthy. You had to be prepared to spend more dough on a color set than you would on a new Cadillac. o.o

Disgruntled Intern 01-10-2010 11:21 PM

Hopefully you wouldn't have to pawn your gun collection in the process. Then what would you do when the negros take over?

Ah, nostalgia.

Some Transformers on my shelf. Man, Prime has seen better days.

http://img216.imageshack.us/img216/9113/dsc01494m.jpg
Some Anime figures on my desk. The table is a scale model of a Japanese Kotatsu (table with a heated blanket over). You can flip over the top to get a red plastic tabletop, and underneat is a molded heater-box complete with insulated power cable and moveable knob.

An old picture of my Gundam kits, two more have been added since this picture was taken.

This is my 1/100th scale Gundam Astray Mirage Frame.

http://img297.imageshack.us/img297/9057/dsc01457z.jpg
And these are my High Grade Universal Century RX-78-2 Gundam and MS-06S Char's Zaku II. They're original pair from the 1979 TV show.

Taco 01-11-2010 03:15 AM

Wow you guys have a lot of toys/figurines. I see a X-530 speaker in one of the pics SW, and you have the same keyboard as me. I like your taste in electronic devices

Signed Freeezpop CD. I don't really have a lot of stuff...

I also have a Lara Croft action figure that stands by my PC moniter, but i'm too lazy to take a photo of that.

Wings of Fire 01-11-2010 05:45 AM

Totally jealous of you all, I live in utter poverty.

OddjobAbe 01-11-2010 07:06 AM

I own this Jesus action figure:
http://i294.photobucket.com/albums/m...31ee4542_o.jpg
(Not a photo that I've taken).
I also own a blasphemous T-shirt.
On top of that, I own a woman. You can fuck it and everything, but you have to spend loads of money to buy it. There's like this trial period, and then you have to take it to some place where a priest sells it to you and its family celebrate because they no longer have to look after it.

Firts one: a panoramic of my bedroom's walls..

MOD EDIT: FUCK. Sorry Abe Is Now! I was trying to edit your image to be smaller and lost it, please repost it :)

OddjobAbe 01-11-2010 07:16 AM

I like the cowboys and the indian. They make me think of a lot of things that I like (such as "The Good, the Bad and the Ugly" (which I own on video cassette) and Prince Buster's "Texas Hold Up" (which I own on LP and CD).

abe is now! 01-11-2010 07:19 AM

They're some characters of a fucking great Italian comic series called "Tex", the first one you see from the left is Tex, the main character!

OddjobAbe 01-11-2010 07:22 AM

Holy shit, I think I know what you're on about. My cousin came back from a holiday in Italy with such a comic. It might be the same one.

Those ducks have down syndrome, I like the penguin though.

Wings of Fire 01-11-2010 07:27 AM

To be honest, I'm a little disgusted that your mother would give you something like that, Ghost. That's just a really bizarre gift for a twelve year old.

Laser 01-11-2010 07:30 AM

All the cool shit I have is...the first ever Beano (a british comic), 110 lead marvel figurenes and a wooden jamican skeleton.

I'll see if I can get some pics up :)

OddjobAbe 01-11-2010 07:33 AM

I loved the Beano when I was little. I really liked the Lord Snooty comic strip.

I also have a signed Snake Davis CD. This will mean nothing to most people here.

You had a Buddha with a man biting off a woman's nipples as he fingers her vagina, as a kid? Am I the only one who missed out on this craze?

Yes, we totally got Abbey one for christmas. Prude.

Wings of Fire 01-11-2010 07:39 AM

Is it a collect the whole set type deal? Is there one where he takes a razor blade to her anus?

Gotta catch 'em all!

OANST 01-11-2010 07:44 AM

I don't know what that phrase means weeaboo.

i doubt you lot will think this stuff is 'cool', but its the stuff i would be most upset about if it were stolen.

http://lh4.ggpht.com/_mZxlkAZDm34/S0...0/DSC00815.JPG

got on my 18th from my parents. just an ornament, really. and i always forget to wind it up, but there's no point, really. also, they seem to think its plated gold, but it doesn't have a hallmark. i don't have the heart to tell them this, so its gold in my book. anyway, that's not the point. i love it.

http://lh4.ggpht.com/_mZxlkAZDm34/S0...0/DSC00810.JPG

from my grandfather. they're old, and very heavy, and good advice, too. they tell you how to use led weights in it as well, which are now banned.

http://lh3.ggpht.com/_mZxlkAZDm34/S0...0/DSC00807.JPG

not much to look at, but spot on sights, powerful and loud as fuck. i used it twice last year to scare off youths in the carpark outside at 1 in the morning. just fire it (fucking unloaded, of course), and they scatter. that's how loud it is.

http://lh6.ggpht.com/_mZxlkAZDm34/S0...0/DSC00808.JPG

now this is the first one i ever got. second hand, and a good job it is otherwise it would have fetched past the 500 mark. i managed to blab the gun sleeve in for free. ironically, the scope is fucked seeing as my workmate dropped it, so it doesn't shoot straight. easily fixed, though.

http://lh3.ggpht.com/_mZxlkAZDm34/S0...0/DSC00809.JPG

grandfather gave me this last year. bit worrying as its one of his most prized possessions and it was out of the blue. not used it yet, but it was top notch in its day, and these things don't go out of date.

http://lh6.ggpht.com/_mZxlkAZDm34/S0...0/DSC00812.JPG

Amiga 1200. got it from an uncle when i was about 5. so when everyone else was playing on the Playstation, i had this baby. i loved it, and still do. it is reserved for my good friend Sticks, though. he is a computer genius. the thing still works.

THE DRAWER THAT AIN MADE ME BREAK THANKS AIN!

and my signet ring. no point having a picture of it as it'll be blurry. all this in mind, we/i am fucking poor.

so yes. i have old man toys.

OddjobAbe 01-11-2010 10:08 AM

I fucking love all that stuff. Especially the watch. That's a very attractive watch.

I enjoy looking after my garden. My chain saw is my favorite tool, as it is a lot of help. We often grow trees, but because they are quite close to the house, we have to cut them down because there is risk of the roots growing under the house.
http://i294.photobucket.com/albums/m...hchainsaws.jpg
Not an image of my own, but this is the exact sort of chain saw that I use. Someone saw me get angry once when I experienced some minor kick back. Scared them shitless, because they hadn't a clue what I was doing.

Wings of Fire 01-11-2010 10:12 AM

The watch is pretty fucking awesome.
