Toys, statues, models, there are so many great things to collect. But not all collectibles are created equal.
Here are our favorite collectibles from 2019. Do you agree or disagree with our picks?
My boy. From My Hero Academia, this Kirishima figure shows him in his Red Roit hero costume in an awesome heroic pose. The show is great and he is my favorite character making this statue my favorite collectible I’ve gotten all year!
Coming Soon
You can’t invite the resident pinball guy to make a Best-of list and not include some silverball! The pinball industry is alive and thriving in 2019, with multiple new machines to choose from. Honoring the original Data East pin that came before it, Stern’s Jurassic Park features a wide variety of shots, a new original story adjacent to the events of the film, and a moving T-Rex mechanism on the premium models. Designer Keith Elwin knocked it out of the (Jurassic) park, and this machine is packed with complex rules for the expert player, but with easy-to-reach objectives for a novice. Once the opening theme starts up when you push that start button, you’ll be hooked - plus this machine features one of the best TILT animations in pinball...coming from a guy who has seen plenty of TILT animations in his days!
The iconic purple lightsaber that Mace Windu wields is stunning. The hilt of this saber is a perfect replica from the movie and the iconic purple glow looks fantastic. This lightsaber makes you feel like a Master Jedi and look like a fierce warrior.
Building models are so much better than just buying a toy, because you get to make it yourself! The Transformers line has been a bit of a mixed bag but the Starscream kit was a joy to assemble and is one of the better Transformers figures in my collection!
So many fond memories playing The Star Wars games in the arcade in the 80s. Now I can re-live those moments in my home. The original artwork on the cabinet makes owning this as close to owning the actual Arcade machine, but at a fraction of the cost.
