Hello!

Anyways, I have been slowing down on my Anime viewing recently and instead taken a more bigger hunt (dare say ravenous) into Manga and...........figures. Right now, nothing is as exiting to me as hunting down Manga volumes and opening packages from my local FedEX and UPS trucks. I'm not sure if there is many, or a lot perhaps, of figure collectors here at MAL but we should see how many there really are. It's become my top favorite hobby in months and I hope someone else can appreciate the love of figures as well :)

Anyways, besides figure collecting I also collect other Anime merchandise as well - cups and artbooks, mostly.

So, if you're interested, I would love to know if anyone participates at MyFigureCollection.net. Or, if you just want to see my account, here's mine: http://myfigurecollection.net/profile/sillyker0nian .

The only figure I own is of EVA-00. I'm actually not a big fan of NGE, but I did like the mecha designs. It came with a figure of Rei with exchangeable heads, but I didn't like it much and probably tossed it out unknowingly.

I have been getting into the Revoltech Fraulein collection. I love those figures.

@MissileSoup: Ah, that's too bad. I have been wanting to get some NGE figures, though. Especially Asuka ones.

@cyberia_knight: I noticed that from your collection :)

Unfortunately, I don't really like that line because of the designs - they're just way too off from the characters they're representing. However, I do like&collect Max Factory's similar line to that: Figmas.

Figmas are pretty cool I've been wanting to get my hands on the Urusei yatsura ones....but to pricey for me at the moment. Where do you usually buy your figures?

For me, I usually check AmiAmi first, followed by Hobby Search and Play-Asia.

Yeah, figurines are pricey. I spent like about USD150 for a Saber Lily Avalon. Wallet hurts like hell, but damn, it's one gorgeous figurine. Though the kimono Ryougi Shiki is another contender in terms of favourites.

I started collecting this past year, and got addicted almost immediately ;) - especially once I realized as long as you kept the boxes sealed, you can almost always resell them for close to what you bought them for.

I've been picking up all the Madoka figures as they came out (except for the Mami nendoroid - that one disappeared overnight!), and almost every BRS figure that comes out has me itching to dish out more to get them. I've also picked up scale figures for three of my favorite characters: Azusa (K-ON), Sora (Yosuga no Sora), and Kurisu (Steins;Gate).

Right now my most wanted figures are the Snow Miku Nendoroid and the RAH Black Rock Shooter figma. (here's my MyFigureCollection profile.)

I'm a former collector. I stopped collecting them last year because, financially, I couldn't afford them. I've actually been trying to sell my figurines for the past few months.

I have many of them, most of my merchandise from anime is figure related and since I have a proxy service I can buy the exclusives that can't be shipped outside of Japan normally.

I only have these two Nendoroids. I'd like to get some more, but if I'm gonna buy anime merchandise I'd rather it be more DVDs.

Been collecting here and there since 08, 'seriously' into collecting since the end of 09. I love it, it's a wonderful hobby. I do reviews (link in sig) when I get the time (which hasn't been much lately due to job changes and sickness, gotta get back on that when I recover from this flu), and I've had a MFC profile for a couple years now. ~

I didn't even know that website existed....definitely need to sign up.

I collect figurines, mostly just stuff I find to be cool(from Nendoroids, to figma, to gashapons).
Looking at posts on the Internet wouldn't bother me so much if people didn't also mix up he and she.

Just be wary, after joining that site I suddenly was opened up to the entire figure world and wanted 10x more things than I originally would have known about! Collecting went up a hundred fold after I discovered MFC. D:

Nice collection, especially love the Hanamaru Yochien plushie.

Well I have a decent amount of self control when it comes to figurines, so I should be able to resist the urge to buy more. It should be a good tool since I've been wanting to find figurines for more obscure series, if only to know that it exists.

Thank you. Yeah, I don't often get the plush and other things, but I absolutely had to have that one! That show was so cute. ~

I didn't at first, I wanted everything because at the time I was getting more into anime too, so I had seen more newer shows and wanted my favorite characters from all of them. I have much more control now, though, haha. Enough to make sure I stick to my budget, at least. =3

Oh, I like the look of this site!
Nice collection thus far, Sillyker!

I don't have a massive collection of figures, but I have about 20/30ish so might sign up to the site soon! ^_^

I try when I can. But its bloody expensive to ship and buy. Plus I don't have a trusting personality so I have a limited source to shop from.

Right now painting the Kotobukiya artemis model.
Messed up on the Zenrai.

Finally picked up a Haruhi figure. She looks so much better in real life than she does in all the pictures! :P

Although I have to admit, this one is quite good:
