B2MeM Day 22 (Late): Playtime in MiddleEarth

I never collected overpriced plastic toys or junky movie memorabilia. Until the LOTR movies, that is. My initial fall from grace was at Burger King. lord_branwyn, who at that time still ate meat, was forced to eat Whopper "Value Meals" until I had all four souvenir goblets. The goblets were followed by Arwen/Barbie and Aragorn/Ken, 12-inch Eowyn doll, several 6-inch action figures, and my prized Boromir Minimate.

Did you collect LOTR toys or memorabilia? Do you still have your collection? Ranger Faramir and the rest still grace my curio cabinet.
