What I collect

My shelves are a bit out of control at this point:

Pokémon Cards Sports Cards Sports Jerseys Funko Pops Comic Books Hot Toys Legos

Part of the shelf: comics, graphic novels, and a few textbooks that snuck in.

A tall display case full of Marvel and Star Wars Funko Pops, Hot Toys figures, and a Daily Bugle newspaper prop — The Funko/Hot Toys display case.

Armaan's display case in Troy, NY — The Troy display case.

Conventions

I enjoy attending convention events, whether that's comics, anime, or pop culture in general. There's something fun about being around thousands of other people who are just as into this stuff as I am, and I always end up finding something new to add to the collection. Here's a look at the conventions I've made it to so far.

Anime NYC 2026

I attended one day of Anime NYC with one of my close friends from APO. Had a lot of fun learning about anime and buying a few things to add to my collection. We spent most of the day wandering the show floor, checking out cosplay, artist alley, and vendor booths, and I walked away with a few new pieces for the shelf. Already looking forward to going back next year.
