Hello and welcome to Yamcha's Toybox. I created this world so that i could share some interesting stuff i own, and perhaps post about some things i wish i owned or remember from when i was younger lol. Most anime fans i know are also fans of action figures, and other types of memorable items, so hopefully they can be shared here on this world :)
If you have any info you would like to share on this world, feel free to message me anytime :) I certainly look forward to hearing from you all :)

Hello everyone,
Its been a few days since i last posted, and i just woke up - so i thought id put up some posts today and i figured id start with this world :)
I was going through one of my photobucket accounts just now and noticed some stuff that i dont think ive posted on here yet, so i thought id throw some of it up in a post here on this world so you guys can check it out :) I hope you all enjoy :)
My Book of Dragonball/Z/GT cards
This is my noteook of Dragonball/Z/GT cards that ive accumulated over the years. Back when i was in 12th grade, i befriended some freshmen who were also into anime and especially DBZ and they also had been buying the collectible card game cards that had just started selling at that time. Every monday morning they would come into the cafeteria (where everyone waited for the morning bell to ring before going to our first class) and they would show me all of the new cards they had bought over the weekend. They would also give me all of the duplicate cards they had multiples of, and eventually i got a pretty decent size collection of my own lol. I really hit the bigtime right before i graduated school, when one of the boy's brother (who had the biggest card collection of them all) lost interest in collecting the cards and while i was talking to his brother one day - he offered to sell me his massive collection for 10$. Luck and good fortune would smile upon me that day because i only had 10$ on me at the time, so i bought his notebook of cards and came home and added it to mine. About 85% of the Notebook in the pic above came from the collection i bought from him and about 6 years ago when i went through and priced each card - At half price the whole notebook was worth 1038$. Im not sure if the overall price has risen or dropped since then, but i still have those cards to this day - along with some newer ones that i came across a few years later.
The notebook includes
DBZ Collctible Card Game cards
Japanese DBZ cards
French DBZ cards
Spanish DBZ cards
DBZ cards with matching stickers
DBZ Chromium Archive Collection cards
DBGT foreign cards
and many more that i havent been able to get info on since they are foreign lol.
Masters of the Universe (unopened figures)
These are figures from the Masters of the Universe anime cartoon show that was shown on Cartoon Network a few years ago. Back then i was heavily into buying figures, especially stuff that was being remade from older series from when i was a kid (transformers,GiJoe, He-Man etc.) and I was also buying a monthly Toy magazine called ToyFare which had updated prices that toys were worth and overall info on new stuff that was coming out. There was alot of hype over these figures and i bought as many of them as i could lol. These figures that i left in the packages are
2 alternately colored Skeletor figures (repaints)
1 Tri-klops figure (repaint)
1 Prince Adam
1 Fire Armor Skeletor
1 Mekaneck (Chase figure)
I read about the Mekaneck Chase figure in the ToyFare magazine and i immediately started looking for it every night and morning when i went to work and left work lol. They called it a "Chase" figure because there were only 1000 of them made. The figure looks exactly like the other Mekaneck figures, but there are slight alterations to him that makes him worth more for some reason. Well one day i ended up coming across the figure before i left work one night and bought it. It's one of my most prized possessions, even to this day lol.
Giant Speed Racer Cardboard Cut-out
I bought this a few years ago at a mall my friend and i went to lol. It stands 6 feet tall (exactly my height lol) and it is just cool to look at i guess lol. I paid 26$ for it and i considered it a pretty rare find at the time. It was just one of those things i saw that i couldnt pass up lol.
Well, i suppose that will be all for today, i sure hope you enjoyed the post and i thank you all for visiting :) im hoping to post a bit more on my other worlds today so be sure to check those out as well :) I hope to chat with you all soon :)

Hello everyone,
I was just sitting here going through one of my photobucket accounts and i came across some pics of some of my anime figures that i took pics of a while back, so i thought id post them up here on this world :)
First of all id like to start with my collection of Gamestop Exclusive Love Hina Figures.
Gamestop Exclusive Love Hina Figures
A number of years ago when the Gamestop first opened here, they sold quite a bit of cool stuff. They sold anime dvds, anime figures, videogames for most systems - pretty much everything lol. The 2nd day they were open I walked in there and spent pretty much my entire paycheck lol. I bought all of their anime dvds, and all of the anime figures they had. The Love Hina Figures had been marked down to 1.00$ each, so i was dead set on buying the entire set, and i did. I opened 2 of the figures, but the rest of them are still in their packages hangin on the wall in my closet. Since they are Gamestop Exclusives, with japanese packaging - im not sure if they are worth anything, but who knows, maybe one day they will be lol. :)
My Rurouni Kenshin Figures
Shishio
Aoshi
Sojiro (still in package)
I bought these figures at Gamestop the same day that i bought the Love Hina Figures. They arent poseable, but they are still pretty cool lol. The Sojiro figure (the one still in the package) actually has a history lol. A couple weeks after i bought all of Gamestop's anime dvds and anime figures, i visited the store again, and right when i walked in one of the people that works there pointed at me and said "There he is!" lol. I was surprised by what he meant and i asked him if something was wrong. He told me that alot of people were mad that i had bought all of the anime dvds and they were especially mad that i had bought the Sojiro figure lol. He also said that everyday since then , someone had come into the store mad about the whole situation lol. Its a pretty funny story thats for sure, especially when it is about an anime figure that only cost me 2.99$ lol.
My Gundam Figures
I really wish i could see this pic clearly enough to label the names of each gundam. Right now i keep them all in a plastic tote in my closet, in order to protect them from my sister's animals, but i do take them out from titme to time for displays and to take new pics :) These are some of my favorite figures though - each one came with removeable parts, weaponds and they were fully articulated beyond belief. I still have the accessories as well as the cardboard backing from the boxes they came in, for profiling purposes lol. Each one is awesome though and i really wish they still sold them here where i work lol, they are the best :)
Well, i suppose that will be all for this post, i hope you all enjoy the pics and stuff, and i sure hope to chat with you all soon :)

Hello everyone :)
I havent posted on this world much, so i thought id put up a post this weekend with some pics of some old stuff i have. Ive had these figures for quite a long time and ive always wanted to share them with you guys, especially other X-Men fans :)
From left to right -
Imperial Fang Disquised Wolverine, Weapon X, Deluxe Cyclops(background), Shatterstar (X-Force)
I got all of those figures sometime between 1992 - 1995, and ive always really liked the Weapon X and Shatterstar figures lol. The X-Men cartoon was still running weekly back then, so it was pretty exciting to play with the figures as i watched the show every saturday :)
Swamp Thing
This is my Swamp Thing figure. I believe this version is based on the cartoon that use to be shown, or possibly the 2nd movie - im not totally sure. This figure actually use to be my step brother's figure, but when he wasnt interested in figures anymore I took it in as my own. To this day he functions really well and he also still glows in the dark, which is always cool lol. I may watch the first Swamp Thing movie today, its been a good while since ive watched it lol.
"The Shadow" figures
These are my figures that i got a number of years ago shortly after the movie "The Shadow" was released. When i saw them at the toy store i got them at, i remember how cool they looked, especially the clear figure lol.Ive lost most of the accessories, but the figures are still in great shape and all function very good, plus they still look cool after all these years lol. The movie is also pretty cool if you havent seen it. It has some nice special effects for its time and is certainly enjoyable, thats for sure :)
Well, i thank you all for visiting and i hope you enjoyed the post :) Hopefully ill take the time to post more stuff here in the future, i need to stop being so lazy lol. I hope to chat with you all soon :)
stay strong,
Yamcha
