I like anime, too, although I don't have a huge collection of that.
I collect hen on nest dishes of every color and size. I go to flea markets and look for old ones from the Depression era. So far, I have 14 hen on nest dishes and two crowing rooster dishes. Probably my oldest one is made of vaseline glass, which is really cool. It's a lime green color. I display the hen on nest dishes above my kitchen cabinets, along with other chicken-shaped objects I've amassed over the years.
My husband collects video games, calculators and old battery-powered handheld games. He has almost every system ever made and hundreds and hundreds of games. I like playing video games, so this doesn't bug me.
As a result of our collections, our house looks like a country store and a GameStop that got tossed together in a tornado (although it's mixed up in an orderly fashion -- hee hee!).
I collect Breyer horses and TYs. I've been collecting them ever since I was little and even though I'm older now, I still collect them. The TYs aren't really worth much now, but I still have fun collecting all the little animals!
I also like to collect little animal carvings. I just bought three in Arizona. A large frog, a little bull, and a wooden eagle. I have a few other eagles and some chickens too.
I also seem to collect hungry, teenage boys who play loud rock music in my garage!
Other than those, I collect bowls made by unknown potters! I just love pottery bowls, not really sure why, but I'm always looking for something unusual. We have an art studio here in town that is for people with disabilities and I love buying things from them. Won't increase in value, but gives my heart joy to see what they create!
