It may seem unusual for a female to collect toys meant for the boys. But it is one of my hobbies. I grew up with toys around me, from G.I. Joes to Legos to Barbies to Matchbox. But those toys are long gone. It is only in 2002 that my love affair with toys re-emerged. As they say, love is lovelier the second time around.

I collect mainly movie action figures, but I stay away from the scary characters. I am not a completist. I only collect the action figures that catch my fancy. Plus I have a limited budget for toys. Next to movie action figures, the Mattel Justice League is my favorite. I love the cartoon show!

Now, why "The Baroness"? To my collector friends, it's obvious that I am referring to the Cobra character Baroness from the G.I. Joe cartoon/toyline. A ruthless and ambitious enemy of the Joes. I use the name "thebaroness" in message boards and bidshot. I guess I'm stuck with it forever. I collect some of the vintage G.I. Joes and I have recently acquired the Spytroops and Valor vs. Venom 2-packs. I am fond of small toys that's why I am more inclined to collect G.I. Joes, Disney Magical Collection and maybe, Gashapons.

In 2003, I went into an impulse-toy-buying spree, which led me to accumulate toys that I realized, I really don't like much. I will be selling most of these toys at cost or with minimal mark-up (to cover gas, effort, etc). Just go to my toys for sale link.

Click on the links to view my collection, browse toys up for sale, check my auctions on bidshot, or just lurk on the message boards I frequent. My pin collection (Hard Rock, Disney, Olympics, places I visited, etc), which has taken a backseat in favor of toy collecting, will also be featured in this site.
