1. What was the first Scooby series you ever watched?
My first Scooby-Doo series that I watched as a little kid was Scooby Doo - Where are you? My favourite series is the New Scooby-Doo movies.

2. Who is your favorite member of the gang and why?
Though my crush is always Daphne Blake and Scooby is my Cutie pie, my favourite member I really admire and look up to is Fred Jones because I can relate a lot to him as a natural leader, decision maker, funny (especially in the pup named Scooby series) and how his plots go off most of the times.

My favourite Scooby Doo item is the Scooby-Doo pen drive.

4. What is one Scooby item you would love to add to your collection?
I would like to get the Scooby Doo character set and if possible own the entire Scooby Doo old classics on DVD.

1. What was the first Scooby series you ever watched?

I first started watching Scooby when I was about 6 and my parents recorded episodes of Scooby-Doo, Where Are You? on VHS. This was back in the 90s, when Scooby was airing reruns on a network called USA. The first episode I saw was "A Gaggle of Galloping Ghosts," I instantly fell in love with the series and remained passionate about it while growing up and even into adulthood! There was a brief period in my teenage years where I stopped liking Scooby because I didn't think it was "cool" to like a cartoon with a target audience of children. However, I grew out of that phase relatively quickly and realized that I should be true to myself and my interests, which of course includes Scooby!

2. Who is your favorite member of the gang and why?

I would have to pick Scooby! He's so sweet and adorable, how can you not love him? :)

3. What is your favorite Scooby item in your collection?

Ooh, that's a tough one! I would have to say the Scooby-Doo Collector's Edition Monopoly game or the three rare Scooby VHS tapes I have. The Monopoly game is actually quite a bit of fun and brings back quite a bit of nostalgia given there are tons of references to the original series throughout the game. Each of the "properties" are actually some the classic monsters - Redbeard the pirate, The Creeper, Charlie the Robot, etc. and many of the chance cards are related to events which occurred in Where Are You. I always thought it was cool they stayed so true to the original series, and whoever made it at WB seemed to be very dedicated to making sure every detail was correct! The VHS tapes are cool just because I've had them since I was a kid, and two of the episodes on them have actually still never been released on DVD! For those curious, the episodes included are "The Hairy Scare of the Devil Bear" (Scooby and Scrappy-Doo Volume 1), "Wedding Bell Boos" and "To Switch a Witch" (Scooby-Doo's Wedding Bell Boos), "A Halloween Hassle at Dracula's Castle" and "The Tar Monster" (Scooby-Doo: A Halloween Hassle at Dracula's Castle). Unfortunately, I had a lot of cool stuff as a kid, but my parents sold the bulk of it when I went through that "I'm too cool to like Scooby" phase. I wish I would have kept some of the stuff, as a lot of it was really cool. However, I'm slowly working on rebuilding my collection as an adult, and I'm happy with what I have so far even if it is modest!

4. What is one Scooby item you would love to add to your collection?

Definitely the Scooby and Shaggy Graveyard phone from 2000! That looks sooo cool and I've been looking for it for a long time now!

Thank you so much, Doo, for taking the time to do this fan spotlight.

1. What was the first Scooby series you ever watched? 

The first series was the good old classic, Scooby-Doo Where Are You? My mom was the one who introduced me to the show, so she had to show me the ones she fell in love with!

2. Who is your favorite member of the gang and why?

Shaggy is my favorite! He’s the perfect mixture of goofy and smart, and he clearly cares about everyone in the gang. His clever little back-talking always makes me laugh too.

3. What is your favorite Scooby item in your collection?

That’s a hard one to choose for sure, I have a lot of items that mean a lot to me, like the set of magnets that really launched me into collecting the merch seriously, but also I really love the Art Cel I have from Boo Brothers signed by Bill and Jo.

4. What is one Scooby item you would love to add to your collection?

One of the number one things Id like to add to my Collection is the Warner Bros Studio Store Cookie Jar that is Scooby bursting out the front of a TV. I've always liked the look of that one, but don’t really buy online so I haven’t come across it to buy!

Thank you so much, Danielle, for sharing your collection and being my November fan spotlight!

1. What was the first Scooby series you ever watched?

The first Scooby series I ever watched was A Pup Named Scooby-Doo, but I remember watching What's New, Scooby-Doo? a lot more, because I was four when it started airing. Scooby was super popular on Cartoon Network when I was little, so I really lucked out!

2. Who is your favorite member of the gang and why?

My favorite member of the gang is Shaggy because he has the best jokes, the kindest heart, and he’s just so cute! He’s also a lot braver than he seems, because even though he’s terrified, he faces his fears and thinks rationally! Shaggy also reminds me a lot of my boyfriend, and I love that he’s a groovy beatnik/hippie.

3. What is your favorite Scooby item in your collection?

My favorite Scooby item in my collection is my Shaggy plush. He was a birthday gift from my boyfriend!

4. What is one Scooby item you would love to add to your collection?

One Scooby item that I would love to add to my collection is the animated talking Shaggy and Scooby telephone! I’m sure I’ll get it someday!

Thank you Amanda for taking the time to do this spotlight! Your cosplay is amazing and looks like a lot of fun!

1. What was the first Scooby series you ever watched?

I wanna say Scooby-Doo Where Are You, it’s such a distant memory but a funny story. My dad was driving with me in the back when there was this fire in a field by a barn. He stopped to help get the fire out before it got to the animals and the barn. A bunch of neighbors came out to see what was going on and my dad asked a lady if she could go get me from his car. I was little so I didn’t really understand what was going on. Anyways she took me into her house and when they got the fire under control the lady that had taken me brought me back and told my dad she just turned Scooby-Doo on for me. After that I’ve always loved Scooby-Doo for as long as I can remember.

2. Who is your favorite member of the gang and why?

This one is hard because I feel like every iteration is different. But probably Shaggy. I work at Michaels and I have a ton of customers tell me I look like him (minus the glasses) I feel like him and I are similar in a lot of ways, though he has me beat on the amount of food he can inhale. My favorite color is green and that came from his iconic green shirt. Plus he has a best Canine pal and I’ve grown up with a dog all my life that’s been my best dog friend.

3. What is your favorite Scooby item in your collection?

This is going to sound dumb, but probably my vhs copy of Scooby-Doo 2 Monsters Unleashed. I remember wanting to go see that movie in theaters so bad and one night my brother surprised me and my siblings with tickets to go see it and I remember going in, sitting down, and watching those monsters I’ve watched for some years now come to life before my eyes. As dumb as it sounds it’s still my favorite movie of all time, I’ve watched more times than I should admit. But it came out on video around my birthday and it was all I wanted. My dad told me he went around the city to find a vhs version of the film because we didn’t have a DVD player yet. I can remember him saying he finally got to a store and saw all the copies of the movie and there was a clerk by them cleaning/organizing other products, and he asked her as he walked down the aisle if that was a vhs copy of the movie, and she picked it up and said yes it is and handed him one. He went above and beyond to make sure I had that film. And that poor vhs is somehow still intact. I now  have four copies of that film, my original vhs, the full screen and widescreen DVD’s, and a blu-Ray copy.

4. What is one Scooby item you would love to add to your collection?

Oh man this is a tough one, I really want the LEGO sets, and a bunch of the video games I missed out on, but I think I’d have to say the soundtrack albums they released (Scooby-Doo’s Snack Tracks, Scooby-Doo and the Witch’s Ghost album, Scooby-Doo and the Alien Invaders album) I love music and I think having an official soundtrack of Scooby doo would be the coolest thing, to pop it in the car while heading to work or something and jam out, or even jam out with friends to the music. Something about those have always stuck out to me.

Thanks so much Ashton for sharing your collection and your awesome answers! Here are some more pictures of Ashton's collection:
