While we missed the main wave of collectors and fans, we did manage to catch a very well-known celeb and collector – Robin Williams. He’s been collecting for quite some time and apparently had been waiting for the Monkey King drop.

Robin Williams is a hypebeast.
But he's a cool guy.

He's popular and I know about the coke days but he's to spazzy sometimes.

I bet it's pretty awesome to have a bottomless vat of money to buy your favorite toys.

I think this came up once before on the board years ago... I'll tell the same story regardless:

He came into a punk record store in washington DC that my friends worked at. He was very friendly, let everyone take photos and bought the following:
1 minor threat hoodie
1 Gorilla Biscuits record

The man has good taste.

I'd love to see his collection. Probably has some cool pieces. Wonder if he's into Japanese stuff.

No doubt.
Wonder if he collects seriously, or just sporatically...

yeah, you see him pretty often wearing them now. i'm surprised he hasn't reached out to nigo and got some custom one off joints made (probably already has)!

Or if he really collects toys--Nigo could hook him up with Kaws.

supposedly he shops at Ningyoushi and Darkside Initiative in SF for shoes and Wtaps.

I think I remember the guys saying he's dropped into S7 as well.

it would be interesting if he had a massive toy collection.

oh yeah think so too, its known he is into toys ever since - long before the hype.
supposedly helped out toyshops in days of low business
by buying up whole inventories back then.

Neat he likes Nathan Jurevicius, who is maybe my favorite "art-toy" or whatever artist... at least his older stuff.

The Bape stuff I can see, but I just can't imagine Robin Williams having shelf after shelf of Rei figures all chilling out in his penthouse...
