Update: 9/7
Added a post for "Outer Space Men" and added a few photos in the Romando Kinnikuman post.
Outer Space Men
I spent a lot of time staring at pictures of these online, and finally decided to take the plunge. They're based on old bendy figures from the 60's and I love that they maintain that aesthetic into these new incarnations.
I was surprised when they showed up how small they are. I am somewhat disappointed by their size, but they're still cool and I'm sure I'll be picking up the subsequent waves.
I'll also say that the figures all come in collector friendly blisters that can be opened and closed repeatedly, and that's particularly cool here because the cards are amazingly cool and look like they are straight from that 60's sci-fi mindset.
The pictures don't show all the accessories, and in some cases I removed the space helmets because they obscure the sweet head sculpts.
My collection so far:

Wanted
This is my current, updated want list. If you have something I'm looking for please feel free to email me. Some things I'm mostly looking to trade for, some things buy. If you want ebay prices for your items I probably won't be interested since, if I was, I probably would have already bought it from ebay. However, I'm not looking to screw people either.

Update: 9/6
Added new posts for:

Fisher Price Sesame Street
Woodseys
Individual Figures
I'm nearly done with the lines I collect now I think. I'm definitely missing Fisher Price Great Adventures, Lego Minifigures, and maybe one or two others.
I'm also going to be posting a "Wanted" thread in case someone out there has any of the pieces I'm looking for.
Lastly I'm clamping shut the Nerfuls sales offers for a while. A few individuals have purchased some of my series two figures (although for the sake of having an online resource I'm keeping the pictures up) and I want to re-assess where my collection is and what I'm comfortable getting rid of.

Individual Toys
Somewhat infrequently I will pick up one toy from a line, or a toy that is not from a line at all. Those will go below.
My collection so far:
I recently got this guy in a trade, and it's a friggin' huge chunk of vinyl. I would be thrilled to death to get a matching Rocksteady
One of my favorite comic book series. I was glad that a figure of the main character was made, though the company that made it, Shocker Toys, is somewhat sketchy and their toys are never available anywhere even though they're based in my home town. Scud here was a gift from my sister, and I'm happy to have him.

I love these figures. Love them. I first saw them when Toyfare magazine did a pictorial about the Japanese Toy Fair, and was totally excited to see that the guys from my childhood M.U.S.C.L.E. collection were now huge, colorful, articulated figures.
I then bought a whole bunch while I was in college, kept them for a few years, and then sold them because I needed the cash. A few years later when I was on better financial footing I bought probably about 30 of them. I sunk a crazy amount of money and was trying to collect them all. It became evident while trying to track down a Mixer Taite figure that I was never going to get them all, and also that I was running out of room in my house for any other toys. With a heavy heart I decided to sell them off. At the time I was very bad at collecting "part" of a toy line, and was of the mind of having all of them or none of them.
So here I am again. My absolute favorite figure, Akuma Shogun, appeared on Ebay recently and I had to buy it. Now I'm trying to put together a collection fo just the main good guys and my favorite group of bad guys. It'll still be expensive and take a while, but I mean to keep them this time.
