Given my current username of Halloqueen, it will come as no surprise whatsoever to anyone that some of my favorite collectibles relate to Halloween and the season of Autumn. Jack and Gourdy being jack-o-lantern pumpkins is fantastic and I hope we get more jack-o-lanterns in the future since there are plenty to choose from: the red, purple, and yellow pumpkin heads from New Leaf as well as the different faces like the vampire one from New Horizons. The Pumpkin Wand is the one wand I've kept and I think it's awesome. The candy collectibles are satisfying to collect. The Pumpkin Pie and Pumpkin Cupcake tie into my affection for pumpkin baked goods. Lucky is neat too since he's one of my favorite villagers and is also a mummy, and I like the Fancy Kitty Plush since I love black cats.
I love the Ghostly Preserves and Spectral Preserves collectibles we've been getting these past few Halloweens and can't wait to see what new Preserves will be added this year and in the years to come. Such a cool concept and I love the forum event the concept originates from.
The Ancient Candle, Voodoo Dolls, and Pumpkin Cupcakes were my first real loves among the collectibles and what got me into collecting. I thought the red, blue, and yellow candies were neat prior, but these ones were more my speed.
The potions are all cool and, like the candies, are fun to collect all the varieties of. I like them all but my favorite is the Pink Love Potion because, while I don't think I was the only one, I suggested and drew a pink Love Potion that looked quite similar for a Christmas event years ago where people designed collectibles, that event being the source of the Aurora Sky and Snow Bunny we have today. To see it eventually become real as part of the Valentine's Day event really made me happy.
The Easter Eggs are really diverse and cool. I prefer the eggs that have more simplistic designs that you could make at home; things like the Baby Chick Egg, Candy Egg, Chao Egg, Classic Easter Egg, Dark Egg, Ditto Egg, Dragonscale Egg, Easter Egg, Eevee Egg, Poptart Egg, Splat Egg, Sweetheart Egg, Togepi Egg, and Yoshi Egg. This also extends to the simple one color eggs like the Golden Easter Egg and Waluigi Egg.
Naturally, considering the Halloween collectibles I started this post off with and continuing off of the Easter Eggs, I love the Halloweaster Eggs. The Candy Corn Egg is top notch because it ties my love of Halloween, the candies, and my fondness for the Easter Eggs all into one collectible. I love all of the Halloweaster Eggs thus far. While I tend to like the simpler designs for eggs without the extra bits and bobs, I love the Moonlight Egg and the Flick Egg. The Moonlight Egg is my favorite depiction of a moon as far as the collectibles are concerned thus far, while the Flick Egg evokes a demon because of the horns, and it's cool.
Bouncing off the egg topic, I like to bake and so I have a fondness for the various baked good collectibles. Cakes, slices of cake, gingerbread men, slices of pies, the Yule Log. They're a nice way to reflect my baking hobby.
The Candy Canes are a nice way to show participation on the forums over the years and they look nice as well. Always love to see what each year's Candy Cane will look like. Looking forward to getting the full two rows in the next few years.
Birds are my favorite types of animals, so I like the Celeste Chick Plush and Bluebird of Happiness, as well as the previously mentioned Baby Chick Egg and also the Rubber Ducky Plush. I hope we see more birds added in the future!
Finally, I'm a fan of Pokémon so I love the Poké Ball, Love Ball, and Moon Ball collectibles. The Moon Ball is my favorite variety of Ball in the series, so it's awesome to see as a collectible. I hope that we might see more Ball collectibles added in the future as well. Also, while technically a Halloween collectible, I like the Rafflesia because not only is it a cool flower but it also brings to mind the Pokémon Vileplume.
My apologies for the very long post, but I think that conveys what I look for, seek out and like as it pertains to collectibles.
