How Do I Afford All Of This Stuff? What Do I Do For A Living?

I've been asked many times over the years what I do for a living, and how in the world do I afford all of these insane collectibles? Today I finally address how I'm able to make money doing something I love, and in turn hopefully give back something to this incredible collecting community. I feel if you invest in something that you love, and know that it will bring a return on your investment, chances are you will end up making money, and thus you will be able to afford these high end collectibles.

[@BatmanStatueCollector]

Absolutely my friend!

[@billyjenkins7951]

It's kind of a crazy feeling to be proud of someone you never met, but having been with your channel since very early on, it's cool to see a genuine person like yourself find success within this awesome hobby

[@BatmanStatueCollector]

Thank you so much Billy, that means so much to me!!

[@07matronix]

This is true. Agreed ☝️

[@Gojira_431]

Thank you for this video, Chris. The segment on not getting attached to the collection and being able to let things go really stuck out to me. It helped me get out of the headspace of having FOMO on some collectibles that I wasn’t fond of but didn’t want to “ miss out “ on. Hearing it from another perspective helped me a lot, I ended up cancelling some items I didn’t need and it helped guide me to the ones I truly want. I just wanted to say thank you and I’m proud to be apart of this community. You’re the best!

[@BatmanStatueCollector]

Thank you so much 🤘

[@TheRoleplayer40k]

If you’re not attached to your pieces what’s the point of getting them tho…

[@brunoaugustocaixetabarbosa9694]

Your story resonates a lot with mine... Also started working very young, got to a job that helped build my personality today... I started collecting during the pandemic and spent a lot of money on it... Thanks for the video, this will help me a lot being smarter going forward! This video puts you in a much greater level than other youtubers... Keep the good job!!

[@BatmanStatueCollector]

Thanks so much Bruno!!

[@jefjefg]

Thanks for the awesome video it was great to hear your story and the solid advice you shared. I consider myself blessed to be a part of this collecting community and sharing my knowledge of this hobby with others. Some people can get quite intimidated when they see amazing mega collections like yours and others who have been collecting for years. I like to tell those people who are starting to become collectors that no matter what we all start with one figure, statue or bust. So with that I'll wish you a super evening and I'll ttyl. 😎👍

[@BatmanStatueCollector]

So glad you are part of it!!

This is prob the best video you have done man. Your statues are awesome but this gives insight how to collected. I watched almost all of your vids too. Good work!

[@BatmanStatueCollector]

Thanks Barney!!

[@mfselite3]

Honestly, if a person doesn’t think they have the funds to collect larger scale just statues, don’t even try. Find something else to collect. Maybe use a tax return or an extra paycheck to purchase a higher end item you want. I started customizing diorama bases for 1/6 movie figures. It gives more of a “statue feel” to an action figure.

[@darkranger_7769]

Dig the new intro Chris! Love seeing the channel continue to evolve and grow. I'm doing more comics /slabs for investing, flipping but already parted with some statues to get newer ones. I definitely like collecting both comics and statues. My focus will always be Batman / DC centric though.

[@BatmanStatueCollector]

Thank you as always my friend!!

[@tinman9713]

I've been a comic collector going back 40 yrs. I've had many silver age and bronze age books that I sold and made a mint on! I got into statues (bowen) and built a huge collection. I sold all of them and made a mint on them! I know stick with just Sideshow and limit my purchases to Batman related PFs. I'm happy with a smaller collection. I do maintain a smaller comic collection as well.

[@witchblade100377]

I've always wanted to start up a KZbin channel, but like how you were when you were younger, my confidence is not that great. I'm not a great talker, but this is something I've wanted to do for a while. I don't have many people to share my collection with and I would love to do it through KZbin. I struggle with anxiety and depression and at times it gets the best of me. Maybe one day I'll break through and start up my channel.

[@BatmanStatueCollector]

Take your time!! Maybe you could do a guest review for our channel to get your feet wet!! Never too late to start doing what you love!

[@RoydexChannel]

Thanks for educating us on this side :)

[@BatmanStatueCollector]

Absolutely 💯

[@Ctpa1]

Excellent insight! Be thoughtful in your purchases and consider resale value and edition size. You will have the potential to make money on occasion. For you Chris, you can now legitimately expense these assets in your amazing side hustle business. You are doing what you love and gratitude is everything. As for real investments, for most of us, it’s a Vanguard index fund. Don't buy statues to make money but think about value before you buy.

[@dewshbag16]

Honestly, really appreciate the video. The insight, information, and your honesty. Thank you.

[@BatmanStatueCollector]

My pleasure! Thanks for watching!

[@josuesagastume2421]

thanks for these videos I started following your videos a few months ago when. I discovered a statue of the transformers in universal studios. and I was discovering many statues and I was fascinated with this. I spent a lot of money on this and my wife didn't understand it but this became a passion for me. Since, like you, I don't have any kind of vices and in reality I needed this. Right now I have 22 statues from XM Studios, Prime 1 and Queen Studios. The pleasure that it gives me to enter my office and see all my statues is priceless..

[@jaysluder1171]

Well said. I really appreciate you sharing this. I agree with everything you said in terms of hard work and avoiding frivolous spending in order to enjoy the finer things in life. 100% on point. I'm actually interested in starting a KZbin channel myself. What do you use to film your videos?

[@BatmanStatueCollector]

Thank you Jay!!1🤘🤘🤘I use a Canon M50 to film.

[@mojopotato1715]

No wonder I’m so drawn into your channel. We have a lot in common. I’m in my 40’s who collects statues. I don’t drink, do drugs, or party. I was a shy guy. My first job was working in the grocery business. One major difference is that I think you like the KC Chiefs, and I unfortunately, like the Chargers. But that’s why I love superheroes so much. Those guys never lose! 😂 Collecting is my therapy. 🤣

[@BatmanStatueCollector]

Absolutely it is....and yeaahhhhh sorry about being a chargers fan 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣! I kid of course! Chiefs were awful for so long!!

[@dynamlllilte4230]

Thanks so much for your brutal honesty on this video! Keep up the amazing videos coming.

[@gdaversa19]

Right there with you, the collection is a true investment. Most if not all of these pieces hold value and you can always cash out.

[@Ashley-vi8jw]

I like it. I myself have 2 jobs. I always had one for bills and necessities, the other is for the Batcave. I opened a Batcave bank account almost 5 years ago. So whatever money goes into the bank account from the 2nd job I'm able to afford it. Many of my pieces have been given to me as gifts over time. But I'm extremely picky on my purchases. If its an expense that will be more than 500 then I have to budget carefully and see how that works in the timeframe of purchasing the item. I don't have kids and I'm not married. I have 2 pets that get part of that 1st job's paycheck. So i have more time and a bit more money to play with. I love how you explained this. It's pretty cool! As long as it makes you happy keep on keepin on

You said so much that you and I have in common. I don’t drink , smoke or anything like that. Like you I’ve been working since I was 12. I’ve worked for the same company for 26 years and all the hard work has finally paid off. I took Gem Mints advice and preorder my statues when they come out and make payments on them. I love the hobby and buy what Like. I don’t buy to invest but I know If I ever want to sell any of my statues I’ll get most of my money back. I have no regrets in this hobby. I’m actually addicted lol.

[@user-oe5kw7do6k]

Maybe you can also talk about space and storage management. How do you manage to keep those big statue boxes, where do you find all these spaces to display your statues.

[@C-M-E]

Kudos for speaking about it, because money and youtube is definitely one of those touchy subjects for a lot of people. I think the mystery of figuring out how to get what you want is part of what drives some to achieve what they do. That said, these things tend to be an investment of sorts, so you can put that label on it when push comes to shove. If you've got your bases covered and have some extra fluff money, all the little pennies make dollars when you add up the frivolous spending. Why not consolidate and put it into something you can have and admire rather than having a one-time experience? Me personally, I love the challenge of figuring out solutions for problems, it's what I do. Be it an engineering problem or a home improvement, I dig it. I've accumulated some skills and have recently put them into making my own figures, and with some imagination and a ton of resin, I can make unique figures in whatever genre I'm interested in at the time or long-time loves and recreate whatever the heart desires. Now if I could figure out how to streamline an amazing paint procedure... =)

[@supermiguelYT]

This is awesome, you have a great heart, not everybody is willing to tell you how to collect and how to be sussesful in the game of statues, Me myself I have a good job but i started flipping toys and video game as well to pay up my collection. 🤜🏽🤛🏽

[@BatmanStatueCollector]

Appreciate that...didn't know if I should put myself out there like that, but thought it might be helpful.

[@edwardx4979]

Thanks for sharing, Chris! I just started collecting for nostalgic reasons. I collect figures that appeal to me instead of the money--maybe not a good idea 💡--but I'm more into the hot female figures who are well known like comic, arcade, and anime chicks. Anyway, very informative... take care and good luck with your channel!

I got accepted into a medical school but unfortunately the military college (I now have graduated) allocations didn’t allow me to go. Right now I am enjoying my job as an IT officer in the signal corps for the army. However, I may apply again next cycle. I am overall very happy with how far I have been able to come as a 23 year old. I have had full college scholarship and I now one my first house. Money can be tricky but I hope as time goes on I’ll find even a better balance. I see the same attitudes in you as I did in mine growing up. I am appreciative I had to work for all my things. My mom had me young and my dad never gave me anything freely. It was difficult but now I see why and enjoy my life more. Everyone has their own complete story. Very cool to hear from one another

Great video Chris, good to have some insight how you think and how you look at things.

These are like investments, if I don’t like a particular one I know I can always sell them and get some of the money back.

[@BatmanStatueCollector]

Thanks Robert

[@munchcleveland]

Awesome Video! Yeah, I am in my late fifties and I don't ever plan on selling any of my Statues. I guess that's a good thing because I have zero room to store a bunch of empty boxes and I am surely not going to pay rent for a storage shed to store them. I appreciate every statue I have but I am just about out if space. This is a cool hobby though. Have a great day! P. S. It's because of your post on the new Sideshow Black Widow statue that I simply had to go and order it from Sideshow; it just looks Amazing!!!

[@stryker-4733]

When I got into collecting six scale figures and statues I did it more often simply because that I upgraded my job as an architect and moved into a new place I wanted to have a collector's room separate from everything and it comes down to saving putting your priorities and Financial business on one side separate from your collecting because at the end of the day you need a place to live in order to put your collection and playing it smart with deals and fighting a good price to purchase items and I think so far separating my collector's money from Monday I use for financial purposes is a good way to go especially in collecting

[@BC-ni3sk]

I have collected for over 35 years. I do not have an extensive collection instead I was very careful with what I bought and have never sold a thing nor intend to. My biggest concern and should be for everyone is the cost. When I really started to buy more was in the early days with Sideshow and their sculpts were in the couple hundred plus range with those pieces today going for a few thousand a piece!!!! Today those high quality couple hundred dollar pieces have moved into the many hundreds of dollars when bought new. I wonder if we are seeing the apex of statute collecting keeping in mind the prices have skyrocketed over about the last decade? I wonder if the statue industry is starting to price this art out of most people's reach. Sideshow has substituted the very high priced pieces with Hot Toys which then brings the price back down to the couple hundred range. Someone could say that I bought a piece when it first came out for a couple hundred that is now worth over $5,000 but like houses if they price them in the million plus range how many people can afford them!!!! I enjoyed the hobby when it was in the few hundred range but at this stage of the game with these resin pieces that are now many hundreds of dollars it isn't much fun anymore. I do appreciate the artists and their works but like Van Gough I hope people don't have to second mortgage their houses to afford one. Sideshow serves as an example for an industry that has followed suit.

[@BatmanStatueCollector]

Thanks for sharing your thoughts

[@Laughin9M4N]

If you haven't already you should make a video on how you sell your statues, I would imagine it is not easy. Also I would recommend you archive your statues (360 photogrammetry/photos or 3d scanning) and maybe start a database of the statues online somewhere or maybe load it up in a vr app so when you sell you can at least admire it. Also at some point these will get lost to time so any archive would be great.

[@Laughin9M4N]

Forgot to mention, great video and collection, just found it and will be watching ftom time to time

Thanks for sharing, I still need to buy my first high end statue, so far I'm a Hot Toys collector, those things are not as expensive as the statues but they are expensive, my problem is that I don't buy figures to sell them later, I would only do it for an emergency, so it's not that easy for me to do what you do.

[@BatmanStatueCollector]

Yeah its for sure hard to part ways with some of these, but the majority of my collection and theme have remained the same. Selling only allows me to add the newer pieces I'm anxious to get.

[@RMAILLER]

@@BatmanStatueCollector Yes, it's hard to part ways, the only things that I've sold were some vintage toys from toy biz and the kenner batman forever batwing and batmobile and I did regret it later!... imagine if I sell a hot toys, but guess there's always a first time try anything new.

[@chickenfajitastefan8583]

I don't have any statues yet but I will definitely collect Dragon Ball, transformers and some Batman statues. So far I have been collecting Transformers figures since I was a small child.
