What were you obsessed with as a child?

Tits, when I was very young.

And fireworks and The Showgun Warriors. I had quite a collection of Showgen comics including some mint ones, my brother threw 'em in the garbage

Animals. Still am.

Books

Horses and dancing. I still am addicted to both.

To be honest I got more obsessed with the toys and things my kids had than I ever was with the things I had as a child. Their toys totally amazed me and I actually played with them and got heck from them.

thanks for making me feel pedestrian

I was obsessed with Matchbox cars. Spent my entire allowance on them for a few years.

purple, anything purple!

As a kid, I loved video games. I could only afford an Atari back in the late 80's while the original Nintendo was big. I always hoped I'd be able to afford a Nintendo someday, not realizing that video game systems would become much more advanced.

my slot car race set.
at about 10, i got my first minibike.
i still got it.
the engine is siezed, the tires flat.
but it was something my dad and i built from scratch.

I was quite fascinated with reading astronomy books. I'm still interested in it.

As a kid, I was interested in learning about the mini-planet Pluto, as at the time it was considered a planet. We didn't know much about Pluto, and it was so far from the Sun and so mysterious.

Turancy and skipping school

Reading, my bike and toy cars

Planet of the Apes and Star Trek.
