and the answer is...as many as you can of course, more! more! more! Hello! ^^ I havnt joined a forum in a long time but this one was right up my alley. My name is Cait. I'm 29 and my guilty pleasure is definitely collecting toys. I've been collecting zelfs for a few months now. I'm in Canada so I'm behind on the series I have access to here, but I get more enjoyment out of buying from a store than online with toys ^^ so I'm okay to just wait and maybe hope. I don't have the heart to take my zelfs out of their packages yet though I'm afraid their hair will get all messy haha. thats okay though because I'm a Troll collector as well and they're all beyond old enough and scruffy already for me to feel okay playing around with them xD. Beyond toy collecting I mostly like to draw and bake ^.^ lol I hope to get to know some of you! Happy Zelf hunting!

Hi Cait! Your avatar is so cute! Is that Mermalade? She's really adorable and I love the expression on her face. What other toys do you collect?

Hi Cait! Your avatar is so cute! Is that Mermalade? She's really adorable and I love the expression on her face. What other toys do you collect? Thank you! ^^ It's actually Sealia She was my first zelf and one of my favorites with her cute seahorse belly ^^ Right now I've been collecting mostly zelfs and trolls, trashpacks, and anything I can find in-person from my childhood ^^ a lot of knick-knacky type toys LOL. I recently found a liddle Kiddle and part of a fairywinkle set. I used to collect plush toys callled Hannari Tofu and other food related things with faces. I'd have eaten shopkins up like mad were they around then x__x I only have 2 of those by chance haha Hi Bisque (Cait) welcome to the forums! I hope you have fun here! thank you! ^^ Hi Cait! Wow, did you draw your avatar? So cute! thank you very much! ^^ <33 I love to do digital drawings and couldn't pass up doing Sealia. Here's the full image if you'd like to see! I just cropped it down for my avatar. firstfear.deviantart.com/art/Vector-Sealia-523106375

Oh, my bad. I always get Mermalade and Sealia mixed up... they look pretty similar! Actually, so does Oceana for that matter. Moose needs to expand the horizons a bit with their water-themed Zelfs: they're always blue and pink... But cool, I like Fairy Winkles too! I don't remember Hannari Tofu though.

Hannari Tofu was/(is maybe still?) a Japanese plush toy company I loved about 5-6 years ago probably. They made 'tofu' shaped (lol boxey) plush with faces and outfits. IT was so weird but it spoke to my inner organizer bc they stacked on top of eachother and just made a giant plush wall haha ^^ Not my picture but you can see what i mean here-> www.flickr.com/photos/hannaritofubaby1/3427667301/ and yes their sea creatures themes seem very similar to eachother so far

Ahhh, okay... those are really cute! The shape kind of reminds me of the Tsum Tsums. I used to really admire this Japanese line of toys called Nyan Nyan Nyanko by San-X-- they were kitties shaped like different foods, that came out about 10 years ago. I never actually bought any of them, even though I always sighed over them. I don't think they even make them anymore, but they were so cute! There were burgers, fruit, ice cream, etc. ...and now I'm totally going on eBay to moon over them again...

I never really collected NyanNyanNyanko but I did somehow end up with a Nyanko Plush by chance off of YahooJapan Auctions years ago. It is still sealed inside a clear plastic box with cellophane around haha . Super cute though it's an omelet with 2 nyankos inside it on a plate with 2 pieces of felt lettuce and 2 nyanko cherry tomatos xD

I don't think I have seen an omelette one before. Gahhh... must resist urge to buy Nyan Nyan Nyanko stuff on eBay that's probably 5 times its original price by now... XD
