Lol, yeah, overboard is pretty much where I'm at, but then again, there are varying degrees of overboard, so at the very least I'm not at the extreme end of the figure collecting totem pole.

It's not much compared to people who are big collectors but most of my stuff is out of print so.

Well I have only really started on figures myself but I have a couple. (I used my phones camera for these photo's so dont expect high quality.

 

I like this gundam real grade kit but I find that the connections to keep the weapons on the gundam are poorly made and this makes it hard to pose.

These lucky star nineroids made me RAGE as the ball they use to connect to the sockets on their backs were poorly made as they were too large and made it hard to put on their stands.

Figured I'd take a few pictures around my room. I can say confidentially I just picked up a few that were some of my favorites and took some close-ups. Then I just went around the room and took general shots, but I definitely missed quite a few. I have exactly one hundred figures of varying size, I've sorta slowed down in collecting since the rate of exchange is sooooo bad now. I've had to keep a good portion of my figures in their boxes since I went the extra mile in just obtaining them or I have no room.

A good example is my collector's edition Aerith, which cost me about three hundred bucks (for reference it's this one). I was ridculously disappointed when I missed the KOS-MOS three hundred dollar figure since it's so heavenly looking. I might get lucky and find that somewhere... ;_;

Anyway, here's some shots:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Yeah, I need to dust. Shush.

I'm personally not a fan of small figures or Play-Arts type of figures, but somehow I've amassed a few through the years (mostly due to their fifteen dollar price tag). I've fallen out of figure collecting, but if I ever had the funds I'd like to grab a nice IKEA bookshelf where I can store them all inside. Keeping figures in prime condition while avoiding dust is sorta impossible without one.

Awesome collection Kana! I especially appreciate that last pic as I own both the collector's editions of Devil Summoner 2 and Growlancer: Heritage of War. ^ ^

In fact my Raihou plush is actually right next to me as I type this, sitting atop my PS3.

My Sakura's need a Wakka friend...maybe a Lulu

Did you change your desktop background for each picture?

Yeeeah, I thought it'd be cool to have a digital background and then I was like oh... you can't see it really. Fuuu.

Haha, I love collector's edition so much. I really, really love the Growlancer series. I bought it originally really cheap from the game store I worked at. I opened it and played, but we also had another copy I knew no one was gonna buy. So I also picked it up just for the sake of having it sealed. Collector's unite! <3

I love those Belldandy figures. I wish I could get my hands on a few Ah! My Goddess figures but there all at least $50 everywhere I check.

I need to get a better shelf for my stuff. I used to have a really big shelf over my bed and it broke two weeks ago. Lets just say it tilted and things went flying on to the shelf near by with my figures. Nothing was broken thankfully but it was panic mode time for me.

If I had the opulence I would create a whole Hermetically sealed room to keep my figures in, pox on ikea (jk ikea, you're awesome)

Awesome Touhou figures. Most of mine of are of the figmas or Revoltech variety. Mostly because of cost and I like all changeable parts and posing you can do. I don't have many but I'll take a few photos and post.

For buying I've used KidNemo which is USA based for a few but mostly Hobby Search Japan they are definitely setup for international shipping and USD pricing.

So my neck of the woods had a snow day recently, so I seized the opportunity to do a proper outdoor snow photo shoot with my most prized figure in my collection.



If you couldn't already tell, Shirayuki Mizore-san is my most favorite character ever.

WOW
you people HAVE a collection of nice Figures
Idon have that many (only a CC figure and some Gundam Models)
but I will really will like to get my hands on a specific figure

For the love of all things Touhou, I thought I had finally gotten my hands on a Flandre Scarlet figure that wasn't a bazillion dollars. http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/B007F9PC8E

It was @$211 shipped from a U.S. seller. But I get an email days after I bought it from the seller saying they are out of stock...WHY!? WHY!??? ;_; RAGE!

At least they didn't cash in on my payment, so it should get dropped in a few days. But still aaaaaggggoooooonnnnyyyy

So now the only ones I can find are well over $350 shipped from Japan. Bleh.

What to do...I don't want to wait 2 months to get one imported from Japan XD

Well you can always wait for a convention I you don't want to have one ship from japan or have to save little by little until you have the money to buy it

All I have are two nendroid figures, one of Haku and one of Miku.

Henrietta now joins Triela in my Gunslinger Girl collection!

Very well done figure by Good Smile. Her look/pose combined with the pistol (which is removable) makes for a perfect depiction of what those girls were like in the series...cute, but DANGEROUS!!
