What was your gateway figure, /toy/? Something that ignited your drive to collect as an adult, or maybe a toy line that ensured that you made the transition from child to adult collector without missing a beat.

Mine was pic related. I hadn't gotten a toy in over a decade, but someone bought this for me after I graduated college because they knew I loved GI Joe as a kid. One thing led to another and here I am today with a really nice (and expensive) collection.

(also, try not to pick on newfags or /v/ people, we all start somewhere)
