I like collecting ones that I don't have in terms of species. Some things (like characters, or basic animals like horses and dogs) I definitely have multiple of. There are some weird ones I have though! I have, for example, an aardvark, an emu, a glyptodon, and many other strange creatures.
A couple other super cool ones I got are some full-bodied puppets- a donkey, a goat, a llama, and a gryphon!
My newest additions are these squishy friends! (Images not mine, but they're the plushies I bought).
What's annoying is they didn't take the security tag out and it didn't go off all through our mall, except when I was leaving as they closed. Someone in the last store tried to help me take it out, but I ended up having to cut it out and patch his foot instead. Gives him some character!

Found this friend at the grocery!
I used to have a teddy bear that was about... 4 feet tall or so, matching the one my mom had.
I have a good bunch of anime plushies and pillows and figures too, of course.
Gund and Douglas are very good brands that I love a lot~
Sadly, almost all my stuff is still at my parents' house. I live in an apartment in the same town with my husband and we have no room, else I would bring everyone here.
