During the recent Pulse Con, forget who it was, think it was the Patriots' QB after Brady left? But anyways, he was on it and revealed some Marvel Legends stuff with his son.

Was pretty cool to see a professional athlete doing thar.

I bet you there are few 6'-7' scale Japanese action figures on those shelves. The man made sure to organize his treasure according to scale and like you said, GI Joe and Joy Toy are taking over the same spot, although I see Lady Jaye, Snake Eyes, Flint, Big Lob and others at about the 30th second in that video.

Same here! I also think those who deliberately portray themselves as "tough" or macho don't fit that persona so much. I also admire the fact that he's proud and doesn't hesitate to showcase a hobby (ultimately a part of who he is) that's generally not expected of professional boxers.

I know right? They sometimes bring a fresh perspective to the hobby and what I find really cool is the nice display and more so what the figures mean to him. It's a pity to keep action figure collection in storage bins (granted not everyone has the space) only to decide one day to part with. I've been guilty of that in the past.

This is cool! He actually follows me on IG, which was pretty exciting, not gonna lie.

It's always great to see celebrities sharing their hobbies and passions, and I think it's incredible that Anderson Silva is showing off his GI Joe collection! It's a great reminder that even the toughest athletes can have fun and enjoy collecting toys. It's also refreshing to hear that he's using his money to invest in something he loves rather than just material possessions. I like this boxer very much, and he even inspired me to buy the best beginner boxing gloves and start practicing at home. I plan to continue moving in this direction.
