are gaming/anime toys in your room?
Do you have any gaming/anime toys, bust, or figures in your gaming environment? I have an everquest girl in mine, thats the only one I have but I would love to have more around my room. I would love anything of Vash in mine. Trigun is my favorite anime.
I only have a few, but I scored a freebie vash action figure (open). I also got an SSX Tricky figure (NIB) for a few bucks. The figures are just expensive most of the time and unless I got them as gifts or really cheap like the two I mentioned, I just don't see having that many. I did used to get the Todd McFarlane figures several years ago. I've got some of the movie figures, but even then, I got those when they hit big lots.
When I was a kid I had about 60% of my wall area covered in literally any kind of gaming related types of paper I could find, from real posters, to cutouts, to magazine covers, to sometimes even game manual covers and inserts if someone just gave me them. Eventually I took all that shit down and threw it all away. I guess I grew out of it. These days my walls are always bare.
As far toys, none. Never really had any aside from TMNT ones as a kid, but those are more cartoon based than game. Oh well I have a couple 50 cent plastic grim reaper guys on the front 2 corners of this monitor.

Nope none. I think I get enough shit from people about the number of consoles I have hooked to my TV without adding anything more. Hmm... reading that back kinda makes me feel a little like a closet geek, pointless to hide it considering that everyone I know knows I'm a geek. Time to get a full sized master cheif for the bathroom I think.

The only way to deactivate the ray beam and fight back the vampire alien threat is with a complicated series of foot patterns on the device's control board that looks remarkably like a DDR pad. We will all praise this man for saving our lives and buy him a mountain of stuffed animals.

As others have indicated, I kind of reached an age where I felt funny about having stuff like that out in the open, but I still have some cool stuff in my closet that I won't get rid of. Growing up sucks, especially when you don't have geek friends. You end up putting more and more of your stuff in hiding, otherwise known as "storage".
Anyway, I have an un-opened box full of Batman: The Animated Series figures I got from one of those WB stores years ago. And yes, that is game related considering the awesome The Adventures of Batman and Robin S-NES game Konami made years ago(which I proudly own complete w/box and instructions and near mint). Also have a cool Batman figure from the Justice League Unlimited cartoon
I also have a bunch of Final Fantasy 8 figures, also unopened. I don't care what anyone says. That was a solid FF game.
I have a Ryoko figure boxed and a wall scroll of her. I was a Tenchi geek once. She was the coolest character on the show.
Think I have a figure of that girl in purple from Legend of Dragoon lying around somewhere.
That's mostly it I think. I've always put most of my money into the actual games themselves rather than figures and stuff. I'm genuinely surprised when I see the huge collection of gaming figures, toys, etc. that other people have. It's cool though

Actually in my gaming room, most of the stuff is very well hidden.
I have all the games themselves in a closet with a cloth door along with the server.
My consoles are on a glass shelf unit or in the television stand with glass doors. Most people don't notice all the consoles I own and only recognize the XBOX360.
If I had them all out on display, it would just throw the flow of my game room off. The other walls don't really scream gameroom, and instead scream... something.
Like one wall contains a poster of Einstein standing at a blackboard, Euler in his chair, 6 drawings of my own, and a 19th century trinket case filled with family heirlooms. The back wall has a 19th century mirror hanging from it, the side wall has the clock my father smashed when he divorced my mother and a 7 foot tall painting, and the last wall has large framed collages of pictures of my brother Ian. The furniture is that micro-fiber shit that looks like suede, and everything is natural tones like brown and dark green with mexican tile (I hate mexican tile).
Not very gamer...

Yes, it's hard to display all of your cool stuff without your place looking like a college dorm. As far as posters, I'm limiting my game room to a framed SNK vs. Capcom print. I've actually got tons of video game related toys unopened, but displaying all of them would really make the place look...well...like I live there 
Some highlights of my collection:
Capcom queens (girls of Street fighter, vampire savior)
Jet grind radio future- Beat
Super Monkey Ball series
X-men vs. Street fighter series
Marvel vs. Capcom series
Samurai showdown series
House of the Dead 2 series
Virtua fighter 4 series
Soul Calibur I series
Other gems include retail standups for Space channel 5, the Sega Saturn, Crazy Taxi, Virtura fighter 4. But like I said, do I display them and clutter up the place?
