Alexa Lawlor, a 28-year-old collector from Regina, has amassed an impressive assortment of Scooby-Doo memorabilia without keeping a precise count of the items or the total investment. Her collection is not about quantity but rather the personal stories and significance behind each piece.
Lawlor’s fascination with Scooby-Doo began in her childhood when she was drawn to a toy her brother owned. This initial spark led to a collection that now engulfs her living space, with items ranging from vintage jigsaw puzzles and VHS tapes to character reference guides used by the creators of the TV show.
Her passion for the franchise also extends to her podcast, “The Unmasked History of Scooby-Doo,” where Lawlor interviews key figures connected to the series. The podcast, born during the pandemic, has garnered unexpected interest and allowed her to engage with renowned voice actors like Frank Welker, who brought Fred and Scooby-Doo to life.
Lawlor’s love for Scooby-Doo stems from the show’s ability to transport viewers on an adventure within each 22-minute episode. She finds the characters relatable and the blend of mystery and humor captivating, making it a timeless and comforting experience for fans of all ages.
