It's hard to believe that the holidays are here once again. Mariah Carey has woken up from her nap, Whamageddon is officially underway, and people are frantically trying to find the perfect gifts for people they know! Each year I find the perfect gifts and collectibles for collectors of all ages, and this year I'm breaking my list up into two: One for the young collector, and one for the adult collector!
Let's look at the perfect gifts for the adult collector in your life.
WWE Ultimate Edition Shawn Michaels Figure
The Heartbreak Kid, Shawn Michaels, is arguably one of the best wrestlers of our time. His over-the-top charisma blended with his ability to tell one hell of an in-ring story has made him a two-time WWE Hall of Famer. Everything about Michaels screams superstar, and this 6-inch action figure pays impressive homage to HBK. This figure sports his WrestleMania 12 gear, where Michaels would defeat Bret Hart for the WWF Championship.
Pretty Guardian Sailor Moon Cosmos: The Movie - Eternal Tiare Proplica
The latest Sailor Moon movie, Sailor Moon Cosmos, recently hit Netflix. Following the last arc of the iconic Sailor Moon manga, this arc features over-the-top costumes, villains, and of course props. While I love every single one of Sailor Moon's wands, there's something downright stunning about the Eternal Tiare. This replica wand (or, proplica) measures in at over 24 inches long, and would be best suited for older collectors. Proplica's can also go for a lot on the secondhand market. From experience, Sailor Moon items in general almost always seem to be in high demand.
Irregular Choice Pokemon Pikachu Shock Heels
Did you know that Pikachu was a fashion icon? The electric-type Pokemon is making a statement with these Irregular Choice heels! These heels come in at 3 1/2" high and have a bright bold Pikachu on the side with electricity coming out of him. These are impossibly cute and deserve a spot in any Pokemon collection. Of course, there are a ton of other options, if heels are not your thing!
Arcade 1Up Class of '81 Delux Ms. Pacman & Galaga
As many of you know, I'm no stranger to in-home arcades. While pinball is my passion, I also have a soft spot for arcade cabs. But original cabs can get pricey, and admittedly both pinball and arcade cabs can be very large (and heavy). Arcade 1Up is a great, inexpensive way to build your own at-home arcade. Plus, these cabs are small and can fit easily in smaller spaces -- such as apartments. I've had several over the years, including a Tron cab that lives with my parents. I love the attention to detail, and these can last a while so long as you take care of them.
Jurassic Park RSVLTS Bomber Jacket
This reversible RSVLTS Jurrasic Park bomber jacket is too sweet. I bought this jacket for my own boyfriend, and I can attest to the high quality and durability of this jacket. Plus it looks plain cool. Sizes are true to size, and the colors are bright and bold. RSVTS also makes a number of other clothing and golfing accessories featuring a number of fandoms - including Disney, One Piece, Godzilla, and more.
