Collecting has been a lifelong passion for Beven Davey, 41, who now owns “thousands” of action figures – “I haven’t counted them” – and shares them with his seven-year-old daughter, Izzy

When Beven Davey was 5 years old, his great-grandmother Myra gave him two toy action figures — the characters Mantenna and Leech from the Masters of the Universe TV series.

Having driven 85 kilometres from their Geelong home, the Daveys were among the first in line at 9am to view more than 100 stalls. They had paid $20 to join a half-hour early-bird session. For Izzy, Davey bought for $20 an as-new Marvel Comics figure Shang-Chi and three tiny LOL Surprise! dolls.Davey, who has a high-stress job as a nurse, caring for palliative and disabled patients at Barwon Health during the COVID-19 pandemic, said collecting toys was a great de-stresser.

“Do I watch the news and hear about people having car accidents or kids dying, or wars, or do I go read a comic book and talk to friends about toys? It gives me a good frame of mind, I guess.”
