As a kid my best friend and myself were really into the Mobile Suit Gundam anime series, as all kids should be. So we would always collect the action figures that sold in stores for them and just play with them. My favorite one that I owned would be the classic Winged Gundam though.
I have no idea how many years I kept collecting those things, they were awesome. if they were so expensive to get these days I would probably start collecting them again for decoration in my room.
