Where’s that? I was looking top, just left of the center beam. Looks like the Vamp jeep but different.

That's the warthog Jeep from Halo.

There's still about 20 other movies/TV shows that haven't been guessed

Voltron on the top shelf. What’s to the left (our left) of him? Looks familiar…

My older brother has this exact figure. May still be at my mom’s house. I never knew what he was called.

I'm probably one of 5 people in the world who also collected the entire Shogun Warriors marvel comic.

It was only 20 issues long but there was a tie in where the FF4 were featured in a couple of issues.

Years before transformers I loved how raydeen turned into a spaceship.

Lotta Star Wars
Spawn
Halo
Strawberry Shortcake
Marvel over the doorway
Iron Giant
I think Bloom County
Wall-E
Vultron or Shogun

the only one i feel like should know but can't put my finger on is the two guys by the warthog. I feel like it's Ken and Ryu, but that doesn't seem right.

i thought that would be the easiest one considering one of the items actually says the name of the movie in GIANT LETTERS

look at it again on page 1 at a different angle.

really surprised nobody has guessed that one. that movie pops up on this board all the time and a live action version is in the works.

Strawberry Shortcake

close but no. its King Kandy from Candyland, my 22yo daughter gave that to me so I'm bound by the Dad code to display it.

but you gotta name all the characters! just like all the spacecraft has to be ID'd!

Can I add a shelfie to this thread? I don’t want to derail the contest (not that I could, mine isn’t as extensive as yours).

Same. Not for kids (don't have any), but just looked at my bar one day and said "Yea, I don't need thousands of dollars of whisky." So I haven't bought a bottle in quite a while and have just been drinking really good whisky for a quite a while. Opened a Weller 12 yr and Basil 10yr for friends this past weekend.
