Here’s a few pictures of part of my collection. Fumito Ueda is my hero.

Here’s a better look at the Queen’s Sword. They used reference pictures I sent them and then 3-D modeled it. They put chain links on the handle just like in the game, and the runes on the blade match the in-game sword. The sword is steel and the hilt is aluminum. It took them a year to make.

Since 2001 I’ve been collecting primarily Team Ico memorabilia. Hundreds of items. Retro Gamer 278 had a little article last year about some of it. I just like collecting. It’s in my blood.

I received my Virtual Boy shell for the Nintendo Switch online service today. I was really into virtual boy when it first came out. Enough so that I had my collection pics published in Nintendo Power and Tips and Tricks magazine. It’s a great system. Weird but great.

I went ahead and purchased the Last Guartian statue from Torch Torch but oh man $1650 is crazy expensive. It makes those $800 Prime 1 Studio Colossus statues look cheap, and I never thought I’d say that. Also it comes out in December 2026 so … check back in 15 months for pictures.

It’s not even the smallest official Ico replica box I own. That comes from the PlayStation History Collection 20th Anniversary Edition gachapon from 2015. That Ico box is only 1 inch tall. It comes with a removable disc and a tiny PS2 that you can put the disc in, which is cool.

I received the PlayStation capsule toys that went on sale last month in the mail. They’re bigger than I expected. The Ico box is 2 inches in height. The disc is removable. The “manual” is just the front manual page glued in to the inner case. The mystery 9th game in the series is Mr Mosquito.
