my biggest problem with collecting has been thinking like a completionist and not a fan. i was obsessed with buying EVERY marvel figure to create the biggest MCU display i could but i didnt even enjoy some of the figures i was buying, so i decided to switch it up and start collecting purely the figures of characters i really liked and i'm much happier for it
@chill50452 жыл бұрын
Does Endgame really need more than four figures max? Thanos, Cap, Thor and Ironman. Those are the only figures I needed. So I agree, only buy characters that you have a real connection with.
@chill50452 жыл бұрын
Why does the collection have to match? I enjoy horror figures, Marvel, DC, Star Wars…etc.
@jdmcx21322 жыл бұрын
Mostly due to many wanting many pieces and even going for a companion piece for the collection,(i.e how I got my 1st hot toy which was obi and them saw Cody and bought, then anakin, etc). It can be tricky to manage at times but if you just do the ones you actually like then that's cool

I can’t say I agree concerning no. 5, at least for my own collection. If you have a very specific Star Wars themed display and you suddenly decide that you want to display a Captain Jack Sparrow among the clone troopers, the yes of course I see what you’re coming from. But my collection is such a hodgepodge of different styles and themes that I feel like nothing is out of place, because _everything_ is. in my upstairs room I have most of my guitars on the wall, a couple Hot Toys Jack Nicholson jokers, a 1/6 Michael Jackson, a wooden Black Pearl ship kit, life sized versions of George Clooney Batman, Edward Scissorhands, Jack Sparrow, Boba Fett from The Mandalorian season 2, Iron Man Mark 1, 3, 6, 85, some Ghostbusters props and hopefully soon my Michael Keaton Batman. It becomes less of a collection display per say, and more of an amalgamation of all my interests
@joellackey12082 жыл бұрын
I never understood the “what figure should I buy” question. These are high end collectibles. If you’re indecisive and don’t have one or two figures or characters that immediately stand out to you, then maybe you should not collect these or wait until you’re certain before blowing a bunch of cash.

You’ve seen some of the same things I’ve been seeing on Mercari… Figures I might have missed out on, and at a decent price. Well, I pulled the trigger on a few of these to expand my Star Wars collection, first release Mando, Endor Leia, DX16 Maul… And they have ALL turned out GREAT so far!!! I would say if you’re skeptical, Mercari is great for handling that.. Message the seller! Ask for a couple extra pics if you want. It can pay off. 👍

I think a common mistake is ordering too much too soon without getting a few in hand few to see what/if these appeal to you first. I bought way too many 1/6th before I found I much prefer 1/4 statues for most. And multiples of same character that are wasting precious space in my cabinet now that I'll lose money on moving out for characters I don't have now.

@jodl735 ай бұрын
Something I generally avoid now is pre-ordering. The time from pre-order to the actual release is long that sometimes I don't want it as much on release. Sometimes when I see the prototype I get so excited how good it looks that maybe it's just hype. So I wait until it releases to see if I still want it. Also sometimes the sculpt isn't as good on release. I have a few figures that looking back at them I am not happy with the sculpt or I got them on an impulse buy. For example I wanted figures from Spider-Man No Way Home, I did not pre-order them. I'm happy I didn't because I don't like the sculpts for Doc Ock, Goblin, Andrew and Tobey. I would like AOTC Anakin, but hopefully the sculpt is good, then I will order. The whole Ahsoka line is good, but wondering if it's just hype and see if I will still want them by release.

@Haveunerd2 жыл бұрын
I Definitely don’t buy based on what other people like or what any channels like yours say. I do use them to get a better idea of a figure I was thinking of ordering or already have on PO but not in hand yet . Perfect example for both of us is the Punisher War machine, I had it on PO remember watching your video on it and u gave it high praise, which it fully deserves. But yeah I was super excited for that figure, never really played the game but 1: I enjoyed the comic run a lot, punisher is one of my top 3 favorite characters and gave us cosmic ghost rider eventually 2: is an amalgamation of all amazing things, Punisher obviously, then if like me and have a good amount of iron man figures. Which HT makes a new one every month so I’m assuming they sell good and also every HT collector has 2-3 iron mans. He is The Godfather of the mcu, and then of course war machine aspect which is always been one of the most aesthetically awesome/ badass characters. Been enamored with him since I 1st laid eyes at the arcade playing marvel capcom and he came out with huge shoulder cannons. So to a few other points u made I one thought was going to sell out and fast and two go up on secondary. Neither happened, that was what 2 years ago at least and it’s still available sadly. Was an amazing figure, if you do have an iron man display/shrine like iron patriot or another war machine breaks up the display a little while sticking to the armored characters, adds contrast. And just a great Frank castle head sculpt all the weapons. Yeah a figure I love and wanted from day one but apparently me and you are the exception on that guy.
