People collect things they like: movies, stamps, hummel figurines of baby animals, bottle caps, books, and action figures. It's only natural for those individuals who have a specific hobby to develop a fascination with acquiring memorabilia that is directly related to their outlet of interest. Such a pattern of human behavior is quite normal and is relatively accepted in society. However, there are those people who, because of their unique occupation or lifestyle, collect items that are too dangerous, rare or gross for the average human being to even want to own. For those people who gather anything bizarre and strange, this trope page is for you. May have a Friend in the Black Market. A group of these might form an Artifact Collection Agency. For the superhero version, see Superhero Trophy Shelf. A more mundane version would be the Trophy Room. Room Full of Crazy is this taken to its logical conclusion. See also Secret Government Warehouse. A specific variant only wants things (and at times people) that are unique and one of a kind. Compare Creepy Souvenir, for when morbid items (often body parts) are acquired as trophies. See also The Collector, driven by the need to collect someone in particular, the Living Doll Collector, who transforms the living into a collection of custom toys, and Nerd Hoard, which is a collection of items from the Geek Reference Pool. |

Hisahide in Sengoku Basara collects various different antiques and famous artifacts but also collects people. Taken to the extreme in Utage where he now collects metaphysical objects like names and bonds such as taking Mitsuhide's real name and turning them into another person and also robbing Mitsunari of their bond with Ieyasu by killing the latter. | |

Several of these show in Brimstone Angels. Lorcan, who holds Farideh's warlock pact, collects warlocks in general, especially those from noteworthy bloodlines. Being able to have an impressive collection of pacted warlocks doesn't have a material benefit in devil society, but it does give you bragging rights. Sairche, Lorcan's sister and rival, collects secrets. Adolican Rhand, the Arc Villain of the middle of the series, collects surreal artwork, especially pieces that depict Body Horror - not as strange, but definitely creepy, and he likes showing them off to people to make them uncomfortable. | |

Finn and Jake of Adventure Time do this to some degree. They have a whole room in their house filled with treasure from their exploits. They are never seen spending it or selling it, so presumably they just keep it around to look at it. Jake, however, is a collector of the strange in a different sort of way... He's a kleptomaniac, so it's inevitable that he'd pick up a few odd bits and bobbles from time to time. Finn also collects glass eyeballs. | |

Clue: Some of Boddy's items may be valuable, but they're also decidedly odd, such as the antique rabbit's foot (with a solid-gold chain) from book #12, chapter 6 ("Bad Hare Day"), the piece of jade carved into the shape of a sparrow in book #14, chapter 1 ("You're So Jaded"), a solid gold peanut that's given away as a prize in book #15, chapter 3 ("A Nutty Day"), a jade ice cream cone also given away as a prize in book #16, chapter 5 ("Sundae School"), a necklace with every letter of the alphabet made from diamond, rubies, and emeralds in book #17, chapter 7 ("Alphabet Clues"), and a silent music box used in old silent movies in book #18, chapter 7 ("Party Poopers"). | |

In Pale this is an entire subset of magic practitioner. Collectors try to find magical items focusing on certain themes and fit them in diagrams. The strongest Collector in the story, however, is a collector of people, so his diagram is an apartment complex. Abraham Musser, a later antagonist, is a Collector focusing on Implements, which he steals from other practitioners and masters. Among his collection are a catcher's mitt that lets him catch any incoming attack and a knife whose cuts grow over time. |

In The Walking Dead: Season Four, Clementine can find different items to decorate her room at the Ericson's Boarding School. Some of them are fairly standard, like fake flowers, a crystal, or drawings of some of the kids who live in the school, but she can also find and display skulls of different animals (a deer, a boar, a cat, and a human). She can also decorate her room with a Venus flytrap and a potted mushroom. | |

Ross Scott of Ross's Game Dungeon is very skilled at hunting down rare and absolutely bizarre games that nobody's ever heard of before. A good example of this is Bip Bop II. A better example is Bip Bop III, which basically had Un-person status until he managed to track down a copy by contacting the original developer, who no longer had the source code to the game, but did have a few remaining retail copies on floppy disk, and wasn't sure if they even still worked or not (they did). | |

The World is Filled with Monsters: Luna. Her "office" in Everfree Castle is not so much an actual office as a massive, dimly lit warehouse filled to the brim with a collection of objects and artifacts that she collected over her long life — works of art, musical instruments, armor and weapons, books and scrolls, statues and monuments, chandeliers, piles of coins and precious gems, astronomical equipment, and countless other things. The resulting hoard is stored with no order whatsoever, the centuries-old junk and treasures all stacked and piled haphazardly in massive heaps as far as the eye can see. | |

Stand Still, Stay Silent: Väinö, who guards the border between a safe area and a Death World zone, has this as a side effect of his occupation. He keeps track of whether people who go through his checkpoint are still alive or not by having each of them leave a small personal item behind. If someone dies, their item magically bleeds... and apparently stays in the cabinet in which it's being kept. | |

The Eagle, original home of Dan Dare, ran a short-lived series called The Collector in the early '80s. A horror anthology, each week's story was a horror story featuring an object from the collection of the title character. Possibly inspired by the radio series "Tales from the Black Museum", in which Orson Welles would relate the stories of items from Scotland Yard's "Black Museum" - see Real Life, below. | |

Harry Potter: Horace Slughorn collects people, but not in the way you think. He doesn't want to be in the spotlight himself; instead, he purposely acts to collect the trust and affection of hopeful and talented students so he could serve as a powerful influence for them. Arthur Weasley collects Muggle artifacts. Some of them, like a Ford Anglia he enchanted to become invisible and fly, are pretty neat, but a lot of it is junk like electrical plugs and batteries. Considering the average Wizard is disinterested to the point of indifference regarding Muggles, and most of those who aren't are downright hostile towards them, he comes off as more than a bit weird due to his obsession. |

Tara, co-host of TGWTG's weird news show, What the Fuck Is Wrong with You?, collects toy hippos. In fact, she's said on the show that she has a hippo for every occasion, and there seems to be no reason to doubt this. She has become so identified with hippos that a fan created a fanart of her as a superheroine with a cuddly hippo sidekick. This, in turn, spawned the Hippo Lantern Corps. | |

The Dresden Files: Harry Dresden has a collection of vampire fangs. And not the hinged plastic kind. Other odd spell ingredients he used to keep on hand include sunshine wrapped up in a handkerchief, mainly for use on vampires. And in Changes, he has to remove stuff from his apartment in a hurry that the FBI might be interested in. The list of stuff he's bundling up includes two swords (one of which the police would call a murder weapon in a local case), depleted uranium, and a human skull. (The skull isn't actually a souvenir, incidentally; he's called Bob and he's on Harry's payroll.) | |

The SCP Foundation spend a lot of time cleaning up after collectors of occult or otherwise anomalous items who get their hands on something actually dangerous and find out what it does the hard way. This brings them into frequent conflict with commercial Artifact Collection Agency Marshall, Carter, and Dark, who are alarmingly relaxed about supplying potentially hazardous artefacts to people who should really not be entrusted with them for the right price. | |

A number of Discworld novels make reference to people collecting pressed lizards. An unpleasant child from Hogfather requested a "lizard press" as a Hogswatch gift, indicating it's a sufficiently-popular hobby that someone invented such a device. Tiffany Aching once told a passerby that she was making a collection of pressed toads, but this was only a lie to justify her picking up the (talking) toad who accompanied her on a journey. |

PandoraHearts: Miranda Barma is rather manic about collecting skulls. While it's unknown how she goes about acquiring said skulls or even why she does it, it has been established that she has a certain desire for Glen/Oswald's head, and the way in which she attempts to secure it very nearly leads to The End of the World as We Know It, so it may not be hard to guess the how or why. | |

Mike on The Young Ones claimed that he'd donated his used-tissue collection to the household kindling supply. He's also referred to his passport collection. Though knowing Mike, he probably never actually collected used tissues, but simply tossed a fresh one on the fire and claimed that he'd been collecting them. That way, he didn't have to forfeit anything he actually valued. | |

Rimmer in Red Dwarf collects photos of 20th-century telegraph poles. Meanwhile, the Cat collects clothes, while Lister contents himself with growing the mould in his used coffee cup. (Admittedly that last one's mostly because it annoys Rimmer.) Rimmer also collects headlines about other people with the name Arnold, "No Smoking" signs, and old wires. He also went on a hiking tour of the ship's engine decks and returned with photos of seemingly identical bits of machinery with only minor differences that only he can make out. It's a Running Gag that he's utterly clueless about the fact that nobody else on the ship is interested in them but him. Rimmer's gift to a seemingly-departing Kryten in The Last Day is a vial of a famous general's spinal fluid. The Skutters, the service robots on the Dwarf are big enough fans of John Wayne movies that they're members of a fan club. With posts directly addressed to them. |

Selina begins adding things to it as well, eventually, such as a souvenir glass from the Iceberg Lounge and a 40,000-carat fiberglass diamond that had been used as a display piece in Falconi Jewelers. "Trophies", story #63, has Batman telling her the stories behind some of the stranger pieces (such as the giant penny and the robotic T. rex) while they rearrange things to make room for said fiberglass diamond. | |

Spirit Hunter: NG: Seiji has an odd hobby of collecting gross-sounding drinks, to the point that people will gift him with strange drinks to pacify his sadism. At one point, Akira's run-in with a spirit is interrupted when Seiji drops by with a drink for him to try. The spirit Kubitarou collects heads from a variety of sources, ranging from plushies to humans. This is revealed to be because, in life, she presented the heads to sacred cedar trees in the hopes of reviving her younger brother. After becoming a spirit, she loses all sanity and only continues collecting heads out of habit. |

In the 2013 musical Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, Charlie Bucket collects other people's thoughtlessly-discarded Wonka Bar wrappers at the dump near his home, where a sweet stall passes each day. He's too poor to enjoy an actual Wonka Bar more than once a year, but he loves them so much that he faithfully collects the wrappers, with Whipple-Scrumptious Fudgemallow Delight wrappers (his favorite) especially cherished. His family doesn't see this as strange (Grandpa Joe practically encourages it!) but it does garner bemused questioning from an observer in the opening scene. This hobby-collecting eventually earned Charlie a trip to the titular Chocolate Factory when one of the discarded wrappers turns out to have a golden ticket. | |

Fire Emblem Fates has Keaton and his daughter Velouria, who share a hobby of collecting "treasures" like broken plates, discarded thread, clumps of dirt, and other random objects their human comrades tend to consider garbage or are ordinary to the point of being above their notice. | |

The Marvel Cinematic Universe has one in the Collector, a recurring character who collects strange and powerful artifacts (and creatures) from around the universe. This includes multiple Infinity Stones, Cosmo the Space Dog, Howard the Duck, a cocoon that was believed to belong to Adam Warlock (until the real cocoon was shown in Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2), and, most bizarrely, Tobias Funke. Yondu collects little figurines. When Peter steals the Power Stone from him, he leaves Yondu a Troll doll for his collection. The ride at Disney California Adventure combines Disney Theme Parks and Marvel and adds an Ultron drone, the Warlock's Eye, a Sakaaran head, a statue from Kamar-Taj and the Crimson Bands of Cyttorak from the same film, Stan Lee, the Yeti from the Matterhorn, Figment, a bellhop's hat from the Hollywood Tower Hotel, a Nova Corps uniform, a Hydra helmet and gun, the weapons of the Warriors Three, Dark Elf artifacts, and Stormbreaker. |

Iron Man: Exploited in one of the early issues of Matt Fraction's Invincible Iron Man 2008. Tony Stark naturally knows several wealthy people who collect bits of Iron Man memorabilia, up to and including pieces of destroyed suits. When Tony discovers that someone has been buying up these pieces and using them to create one-shot disposable supervillains, he deliberately seeds the market with some choice bits — all of which have been tagged with a special tracking virus so he can find the mystery buyer. | |

The World of Darkness: Changeling: The Dreaming: The Maeghar are fae-blooded vampires who typically build large collections of small objects, often Creepy Souvenirs like finger bones, children's teeth, pieces of tattooed skin, broken dreams... In Vampire: The Masquerade: One of the Malkavian character templates is named "The Collector" who collects obsessively out of a desire to understand the world. To that end, he'll collect, examine, and catalogue every single variation of a certain item for months at a time; eventually, he'll exhaust all the insights the item has to give, put the collection in storage, and move on to another series of object- no matter how bizarre or macabre: insects, oak leaves, human hands, anything. |

As these are the kind of things Indiana Jones hunts, this often puts him at odds with Indy: as, unlike Indy who wants to place these items in a museum for the world to see, Ayoob wants them for his private collection. | |

In Going Postal, the invention of the stamp attracts a new collecting craze, mostly among people who previously had collected pins. Let us clarify: these are not brooch-style decorative pins (a la Disney "Pin Trading"), but the sort of pins you'd use to fasten two pieces of cloth together temporarily. | |

Batman: Through his years of crime-fighting, Batman has amassed quite a large stash of villainous weapons and gadgets that he keeps on display in his Batcave. His older incarnation is not opposed to using some of this technology if the situation calls for it. Three of the most iconic objects are a giant Joker playing card, a giant penny, and a giant dinosaur. Originally, the penny came from a 1947 comic strip story about "The Penny Plunderer", and the dinosaur from a 1946 adventure in a "Dinosaur Island" theme park. More recent continuities have changed up these origins, such as Batman: The Animated Series, where the giant penny comes from a failed attempt by Two-Face to kill Batman in "Almost Got 'Im". JLA Classified #1 establishes that Batman has a Dalek in storage. We don't know where he got it, we don't know what he plans to use it for, but he does have one. In a silly comic that may not have been canon, Gotham City has a museum of the villains' failed death traps and other ridiculous props, and the Riddler is curator as part of his rehabilitation, where he figures out the flaws that allowed Batman to escape. |

The Duelist is a Master Swordsman who loves unique, well-crafted swords, carrying his collection in a rack on his back, the catch being that these are all trophies he's taken from challenging the unwary to duels. Lion-O's Sword of Omens is unique, and Lion-O is unwary... |

Ghamalso has no real standards for what he collects beyond some degree of interest, and his collection includes, among other things, mummified alien heads, immense war machines, paintings and other artwork, a human child in stasis, and an alien zoo with a greater surface area than the Earth. | |

Rogue Trader gives us the Stryxis, a Proud Merchant Race local to the part of space the game is set. Any given trader will have a vast hoard of unique treasures, rare technologies, and outright junk for trade. The challenge when dealing with them is that how much they would want for any of it and what they might find valuable in return is completely nonsensical to humans, and seems to vary massively between individuals to boot. | |

Disney Mouse and Duck Comics: Scrooge McDuck, when one thinks about it: his collection includes rare coins, rare books, the Goose Egg Nugget, the Striped Ruby, the majority of the Fabergé Eggs, the #1 Dime, his old prospector tools, a cannon from the Boer War (his sisters freaked out when he sent that one home. It was actually a way to not pay for the ship plane ticket for himself, as he was hiding inside the cannon, but he still kept the cannon and acquired more), a teddy bear (the first one), and many other things, including all the money in the Money Bin (it's actually petty cash, by his standards). The common theme is that they're things he earned himself during his adventures and wouldn't give up, but considering the collection, he still qualifies. Donald Duck has made some strange collections from time to time, and in Paperinik stories he's shown to keep some weapons and tools from the supervillains he defeated and lots of his own old and damaged weapons. Gladstone keeps some of the things he won through his luck instead of selling them, depending on his fancy. Goofy collected his ancestors' collections. His attic contains literally almost everything. Small-time villain Melvin Nickelby collected coins, but only first coins. This included first coins of a type minted, but also the first coin used for a coin toss, the first coin spent in a vending machine, the first coin dropped into a wishing well, and more of the similar. He tried to steal Scrooge's Nr. 1 Dime because he figured the first coin earned by the world's richest duck would round out his collection nicely. |

The Mermaid Princess's Guilty Meal: The mermaid Sango is in charge of studying humanity and has collected all manner of memorabilia dumped from the surface world. She's kind of like Ariel, except it's a job instead of a hobby and she actually knows what everything is. Her stockpile of human money comes in handy when Ela wants a bite to eat, the princess helping herself in secret much to Sango's chagrin. | |

Superman: In the Silver Age, the titular character's Fortress of Solitude seemed to exist mainly as a place to house his collection of geegaws, including statues of his friends and things related to them. A few of said friends managed somehow or another to see their wing of the Superman Museum of Stalkees and most of them were flattered rather than creeped out. Brainiac's whole thing is that he wipes out planets, but preserves one city from each civilization that he destroys, which he shrinks and keeps in glass containers. The most notable is Kandor, a Kryptonian city which Superman manages to recover but can't unshrink. |

JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Stardust Crusaders: The D'Arby brothers combine this with Your Soul Is Mine!, using their Stands to claim the souls of those who lose to them in games of chance. There are a few key differences between them: Elder brother Daniel (The Gambler) keeps his victims' souls at rest and turns them into poker chips, while younger brother Terence (The Gamer) hand-carved marionettes of his victims and puts the souls into them, keeping them conscious so he can talk to them occasionally. Both end up being defeated by Jotaro (who's a better cheater than them), which frees all their victims. | |

The Elder Scrolls: In each game in the series since the 3D Leap, as well as in its Fallout sister series, you can easily turn your home into a Superhero Trophy Shelf with all of the questing treasures you acquire. There are far more in each game than you can possibly put to use, so most will go toward decorating your home. Many Game Mods exist that aid in this process. In Morrowind, Divayth Fyr has amassed quite the collection of legendary artifacts and has even set up a Lock and Key Puzzle for those willing to risk their lives (to either his violent Corprus victims or catching the disease themselves) to try to steal them. In particular, he has a number of Dwemer artifacts and items associated with the Imperial Battlespire event. Oblivion's Shivering Isles DLC has characters who obsessively collect things such as forks or bones. One can also assist the curator of the Museum of Oddities with new acquisitions. In Skyrim's Dragonborn DLC, the Telvanni Mage-Lord and legendary enchanter Master Neloth collects the staffs of Azra Nightwielder, a legendary master of "Shadow Magic." The expansive Skyrim Game Mod "Legacy of the Dragonborn" allows you to become this on a grand scale, with an expansive museum to store and display literally thousands of items (including many from previous games), ranging from dangerous daedric weapons and armor to rare books, rare coins, weird doohickeys, severed heads, and more. |

Dante from Devil May Cry adorns his office with trophy heads. While this is not unusual in itself, the skulls on his walls are of all the demons he's killed during his career as a bounty hunter. A bonus art from 3 takes this to its logical conclusion, where Dante's office is so filled up with corpses of all the monsters he's killed and gear he's collected over the game, there's almost no walking room left. Presumably that's why he only keeps trophy heads in the later games; space is an issue when your business is also your house. | |

The Collector is a series regular in the Nightside novels, a compulsive hoarder who seeks out anything exotic, unique, or historically significant, then stashes it in various super-secret locations (on the Moon, inside a live tyrannosaur's cage, etc). As one of the things he maintains a collection of is time machines, many of the historical artifacts he's picked up were taken directly from their periods of origin. | |

In Ghostbusters: The Video Game: Edmund Hoover, later known as "Azetlor, the Collector," collected ancient and extremely rare books and tomes, some of which were very powerful. He seduced (and later murdered) Eleanor Twitty, a librarian at the NYCPL, so that he could get his hands on The Gozerian Codex. The Ghostbusters themselves fit this trope, what with all the Cursed Artifacts found throughout the game. |

Tooth Fairy from Reverse: 1999, as her name suggests, collects teeth. This is partly a necessity as she needs to breed magical critters called tooth fairies as part of her magical medical practice, but she's also fond of collecting them for sentimental reasons, oftentimes for the memories associated with the specific events, such as the time that she accidentally ran over a young boy and managed to save his life but knock his baby tooth out in the process, her unknowingly being part of a harmful drug trial, and punching out her former mentor Prof. Evan's incisor in a fit of rage. | |

The Magnus Archives has Jurgen Leitner, who had the largest private collection of books touched by the Entities. Emphasis on had, as putting together that many cursed books powered by unfathomable monstrosities is a bit like gathering sticks of dynamite around a campfire; when the library fell, the books were released into the world. Most of the rest of the characters on the podcast view him as an absolute git whose hubris in believing he was the only one who could contain these tomes only set him up for an inevitable disaster. | |

Warhammer 40,000: Khorne, the Chaos God of war and bloodshed, collects blood and skulls, which form a lake and a mountain, respectively.note Not a normal lake and mountain of course. It was said that just one of Khorne's servants collected enough skulls to form a small planetoid. Said servant was powerful, but mostly an ordinary daemon, overshadowed by monsters like Anngrath, Doombreed, or Angron. The Necron special character Trazyn the Infinite. Think Doctor Doom if he was a killer skeleton robot from space and you have a decent idea of what he's like. His collection includes, among other things, the wraithbone choir of Craftworld Altansar, the preserved severed head of Sebastian Thor, an Enslaver husk, and baroque set of Space Marine power armour (with the accompanying Blood Angels marine; it's implied that the poor sap is far from the only technically living thing in Trazyn's collection), and the world spirit shrine of Maiden World Carnac. And Trazyn is always looking to add more things to his bizarre gathering of oddities. Rogue Trader gives us the Stryxis, a Proud Merchant Race local to the part of space the game is set. Any given trader will have a vast hoard of unique treasures, rare technologies, and outright junk for trade. The challenge when dealing with them is that how much they would want for any of it and what they might find valuable in return is completely nonsensical to humans, and seems to vary massively between individuals to boot. |

The RWBY Loops in particular gives us the Romantic Weapons and Ballistics of Yggdrasil Museum, maintained by Ruby Rose and stocked with duplicates of weapons from across the multiverse. Given the Mega Crossover of the setting, that actually spans quite a large scale — think of every weapon from every movie, book, video game, anime, television series, cartoon, toy line... the centerpiece is Starkiller Base, which is also where most of the museum is located, and various snips imply Ruby is still looking to collect. | |

Drowtales: Snadhya'rune Vel'Sharen collects people with unique abilities, such as spellsong, empathy, nether summoning, and the like. These people make up a huge part of the Nidraa'chal clan's elite force as even a single person could quickly turn the tide on the battlefield. In Chapter 49, Snadhya'rune aided Anahid in ousting her rival Valla'drielle and becoming the rightful Ill'haress with the ulterior motive of recruiting the clan Seers once the Kyorl'solenurn ally with the Nidraa'chal out of gratitude for stopping their civil war. When Anahid uses her Seer powers to discover and expose Snadhya'rune's (very) numerous crimes to her people, Snadhya'rune tries asking for forgiveness, only for Anahid to tell her to look for forgiveness from her actual victims. | |

Brandon Farris likes to collect random objects from Amazon or anything shown on Tik Tok. This is mostly for use in videos where he is playing with potentially harmful items (the highlights being things that intentionally inflict pain, such as a riding crop and anything with a taser function), and they can occasionally be seen in the background when he is done. Of particular note is his collection of novelty Monopoly boards, which fills both bookshelves and which he is verbally defensive of when Gloria will not stop knocking them over. | |

Doctor Who: Considering the Doctor tends to have all sorts of weird stuff in his pockets for every occasion and the TARDIS has all sorts of cool stuff in it the Doctor whips out for use in various episodes and serials, he's this too, though it overlaps with Crazy-Prepared when you consider his lifestyle. Henry van Statten of "Dalek" collected and studied alien artifacts. Collecting a live Dalek may not have been the best move... Done again with Grayle in "The Angels Take Manhattan", who does much the same thing with a Weeping Angel, and meets an unpleasant fate. |

Adam Savage is a real-life example, he has even produced a realistic replica of the Maltese Falcon from the movie, as well as a dodo skeleton, and many many other things he's collected over the years, this was showcased in one of the "get-to-know-the-cast-better" episodes of Mythbusters. And gorram it, these papers... The Mythbusters themselves could be considered for this, given how many of their strange machines built in previous episodes are seen in future ones hanging from the ceiling or walls. |

Gil Grissom's office from CSI mirrors the owner's fascination with insects where he keeps full preserved bodies of giant spiders and other bugs that catch his fancy. This isn't particularly strange by the standards of this trope — entomology is a well-established and perfectly respectable field of study — but bringing his hobby to work with him like that must make his coworkers nervous. Grissom's collection temporarily became even more macabre in Season 7. As the Miniature Killer kept leaving incredibly detailed dioramas of their crime scenes for police to find, Grissom started keeping them on shelves in his office. He even began creating miniatures of his own, in an attempt to get into the killer's mindset. |

Given the Mega Crossover of the setting, that actually spans quite a large scale — think of every weapon from every movie, book, video game, anime, television series, cartoon, toy line... the centerpiece is Starkiller Base, which is also where most of the museum is located, and various snips imply Ruby is still looking to collect. |

Subaru of Ensemble Stars! loves to collect shiny things, ranging from coins to ramune bottle marbles to any old glittery thing he happens to find on the side of the road. More than one character wonders whether he is actually somehow a crow. | |

Steve 1989 MRE Info: Steve collects (and eats) vintage military rations, as well as other military memorabilia and minutia like survival kits. When he's got a hold of a particularly historically significant or well-preserved example of an MRE, he will often take care not to destroy the packaging when opening it so he can reseal it for display. | |

Grand Theft Auto IV Add-On The Ballad of Gay Tony has Yusuf Amir. The son of a rich Arabian businessman says himself that he wants things that he couldn't buy, so he pays you for illegally getting him a chopper with miniguns and rockets (later he plated with gold), a subway car, and a S.W.A.T. Tank. He never uses anything for himself, he is lucky enough for having the stuff. | |

In an episode of Midsomer Murders, the fact a suspect for the murder is somewhat mentally distressed is lampshaded by the fact he is an obsessive collector of and wargamer with Games Workshop fantasy armies. He is also a Cannot Talk to Women type whose obsessive love for a female character is condensed into his trying to paint a warrior woman miniature figure to look exactly like her. In TV dramas, nobody ever collects toy soldiers who is mentally balanced, psychologically normal, and socially integrated. This is always a lazy TV shorthand for obsessive deranged loner. | |
