This blog site showcases my personal collection as well as my personal opinion regarding toys/figures related to them. This blog will include toy reviews, toy information, toy suggestions and alternatives, as well as how to get them based on my experience to help my fellow toy collectors to start up... build up... and expand their collection.
Hello, I am Angelo and have been a toy collector since 2013.
Welcome to my blog site HarvestDude Toys!
"HarvestDude" comes from two words... Harvestmoon (my all-time favorite game) and Dude (because I'm a dude!).
I grew up in the 1990s where the television is the only way for kids to watch their favorite shows. Back then I really enjoyed the shows like...
SHAIDER,
BIOMAN,
MASKMAN,
MASKED RIDER BLACK,
MACHINE MAN,
MAGMA MAN,
VOLTES V,
DAIMOS,
GHOSTFIGHTER (Yu Yu Hakusho),
DRAGONBALL,
VISIONARIES KNIGHTS OF THE MAGICAL LIGHT,
BIKER MICE FROM MARS,
MACROSS,
ULTRAMAN, etc.
As well as TV shows that really made me understand more about life like..
BANANAS IN PAJAMAS/PYJAMAS
PRINCESS SARAH,
ROMEO'S BLUE SKIES (Munting Pangarap ni Romeo),
DOG OF FLANDERS
CEDIE,
PETER PAN,
HEIDI,
MOJACKO, etc.
I also grew up playing a lot of video games mainly in the Nintendo Family Computer and PlayStation 1 consoles. The games that had a really big impact on me was...
STREET FIGHTER,
SUPER MARIO BROS. (especially Mario 3),
SPYRO,
CRASH BANDICOOT,
LEGEND OF DRAGOON,
MEGAMAN,
MEGAMAN LEGENDS,
FINAL FANTASY (4 TO 12),
POKEMON,
HARVESTMOON: FRIENDS OF MINERAL TOWN, etc.
In my teens to adulthood, I still enjoyed new shows and anime that really made my day after reading or watching them like...
NARUTO,
ONE PIECE,
HUNTER X HUNTER,
ONE PUNCH MAN,
FULL METAL ALCHEMIST,
SLAMDUNK,
KUROKO NO BASKET,
PARASYTE,
DEATH NOTE,
HAJIME NO IPPO,
AVATAR THE LAST AIRBENDER, etc.
And during those times that I was watching these shows or playing the video games, I really wanted to buy toys or figures related to them. Unfortunately, I cannot.
Our family did not have extra money to buy toys but had just enough to get me and my siblings to go to college. I was able to live on my own money and help my family after graduating college. After a few years of working.... I was able to help my family financially, have a stable investment for retirement and grabbed a life insurance, I started to collect all the toys related to my favorite TV shows and video games that I was not able to buy when I was a kid.
I hope you enjoy reading the content on this site and share them to the people you know.
