Kijani's Lion King Collection
Long story short, I found my way into the furry fandom through The Lion King fandom, which was I was a part of ever since I re-watched the film in 2004 to write a college essay. I became obsessed with the movie and all of a sudden, everything around me had to be Lion King, and my collection grew and grew as my dad wondered why the hell so many packages and parcels were arriving at our front door.
My love for TLK eventually translated into a love for real African lions, and eventually furry in early 2008, but I've never forgotten my roots.
I have had many people ask about my TLK collection, which is unofficially the largest in the United States, currently at 960 individual items. It (or as much of it as I could feature in my display case) was featured at the Western Washington (Puyallup) State Fair several years ago and won a People's Choice Award.
I actually haven't collected much since joining the furry fandom, as most of my spare money goes towards real lion and anthro stuff now, but I will occasionally pick up something TLK-related especially now with the re-release of TLK on 3D and blu-ray impending, lots of new TLK merchandise upcoming!
Here are some photos detailing most of the rest of my collection, which includes the 160 or so items in my Lion King on Broadway collection - I have been fortunate enough to see this show 14 times in seven different cities around the country and Shanghai, China.
Thanks for taking a look and sharing my love for a movie that has a place near and dear to my heart.
