Alexa Lawlor, a 28-year-old from Regina, has amassed a vast collection of Scooby-Doo memorabilia, although she has lost count of the exact number of items and the total amount spent on acquiring them remains unknown. Contrary to mere accumulation, Lawlor values each item for its unique story and significance to her. Her collection, which began in her childhood after being captivated by a Scooby-Doo toy, has grown over the years to encompass various vintage pieces, including jigsaw puzzles, VHS tapes, dolls, action figures, and more.
With her living room adorned by eight bookshelves overflowing with Scooby-Doo treasures that extend into the kitchen and hallway, Lawlor’s passion for the franchise is evident. Beyond the typical memorabilia, her collection features rare finds such as character reference guides used by Hanna-Barbera staff, original animation sketches, and autographed prints from prominent figures in the animation industry.
Lawlor’s enthusiasm for Scooby-Doo extends beyond collecting, as she hosts a podcast titled “The Unmasked History of Scooby-Doo,” where she delves into the franchise’s background and interviews key figures connected to it. Through her podcast, she has had the opportunity to converse with notable personalities like Frank Welker, the original voice of “Fred.” Lawlor’s love for Scooby-Doo stems from the show’s ability to engage viewers with its diverse characters and intriguing mysteries, making it a timeless and relatable series for fans of all ages.
