 Robin Williams Collects
 Quote: 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. http://www.vinylpulse.com/2008/08/seen-nathan-jur.html

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

 Re: Robin Williams Collects
He's popular and I know about the coke days but he's to spazzy sometimes.

 Re: Robin Williams Collects
I bet it's pretty awesome to have a bottomless vat of money to buy your favorite toys.

 Re: Robin Williams Collects
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.

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

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

 Re: Robin Williams Collects
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.

The man has good taste. 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.

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