Do you have any physical memorabilia for your favorite fandoms? Merch, crafts, scrapbooks, print-outs, etc.? What's your favorite?

stellar_dust and I just reduced the collection of Star Wars junk by 1/2 for about the fourth time (which tells you how much we started with!) At this point it's down to basically books, action figures, micro-machines, and a few other old favorites. Which is also how it started, so that's pretty satisfying!

I don't have as much as some people I know but I have enough that no-one coming into my living room would doubt that a sci-fi geek lived there! I love the popfunko figurines and I have a small collection of some of my favourite characters from them - there are Marvel characters guarding my comics & graphic novels, while a couple of the DC gals guard my un-watched DVD pile. And...I have the car from Ghosbusters in Lego! Oh and I bought an art print from one of my favourite webcomics, so I have that framed on my bedroom wall too.

I've been in Doctor Who fandom to a greater or lesser extent since I was a small child - so about thirty years now :S - so I have accumulated quite a collection over the years. Most of the older stuff has gone now - I used to scrapbook newspaper articles about the show when it was off-air, and I had some toy aliens that school friends bought me - but I still have a TARDIS teapot and a Dalek plushie that an ex-girlfriend bought me, and a quote plaque on my wall that my parents got me as a house-warming gift.

(I also have a collection of geeky t-shirts, tie-in books, coffee-table style 'art of x' books and script books...I was a film student so the line between fandom and academic interest is arguably a bit blurry here.)

My favourite though is probably my cuddly Gizmo from the Gremlins movies, he always makes me smile.

Oh good, you want to make sure nobody is confused when they visit. :D I am jealous of your mogwai, he sounds adorable, just be careful about feeding him!

I know right? That would never do! :p

(I'm also very careful not to get Gizmo wet! :D)
