How many

Depends on the line and characters.
I would think more established lines with a plethora of characters would garner more purchases, right?
That being said, the majority of my collection consists of Transformers, Marvel Legends and Figuarts, but i'll collect pretty much any line.

I just get my favourite characters, in the most accurate toy depiction

Figuarts/figma/Chogokin/Revoltech: less than 10 each
Transformers/Doctor Who: 20-ish
Star Wars/GI Joe/superheroes: 50+

Good idea for a thread

Hot Toys 1/4 - 1 (hoping the Kylo Ren goes up for preorder soon)
Star Wars 3 3/4 - 40 w/ some being from 1977
Black Series 1/12 - 3, I told myself I wouldn't collect these anymore after I sold my collection off last year, but the new ones drew me in.

PAK MGS - 7
FIGMA: Table Museum - 4 / KLK: 1
Black Series - Star Wars: 1
Nendoroid: Dart Vader and Storm Trooper

Rooms that are just shelves with toys are the most depressing thing, when they want to see them to they just stand in the room for five minutes and then walk out again?

>>5959147

Like a thousand TransFormers and 25 or so from a dozen other lines.

Star Wars Hasbro/Kenner 150

I only collect Nendoroids, specifically, Miku Nendoroids

I'm just missing the Jumbo version rigjt now

Yeah, I'm not counting shit.
I have thousands, but I know pretty much all of the toys i buy, minus the blind buys where i just buy for coolness, not name/property

I don't keep track of the doubles/triples/etc i buy. Pic related.

>>5958988
I have a TMNT collection that is in scale not unlike the one in your pic, OP. Made up mostly of the original series, but featuring the bulk of the 4kids (2003) one, select others from all following iterations, & virtually all of the "collector" figures (except the ones from Playmates, 'cause they're garbo now). TMNT is my main flame, so I tend to overdo it.

When it comes to other stuff, Nintendo, anime, Gundams, I just go for the essentials. I've got the main cast (~4 characters each) for a few anime I adore, the pattern I typically follow, but sometimes I'll have a favorite side character too. I guess I try to keep it simple outside of my #1 series. It's far too an expensive habit to go all out with more than one. & it requires shelf space that I simply do not have.

As far as brand specifics go...

Nendoroid: 3
Figma: 6
Revoltech: 4
Gundam kits: 8
NECA: 8

Too many to count as far as others go. There's prize figures, 80's/90's action figures, vinyls, etc.

>stopped counting
>finding things I didn't even know I owned
>ending up with multiples because I see it for a good price and didn't know if I owned it or not
I have a problem don't I? It's easily in the hundreds for some lines.

This just reminds me I need to sell of my stuff. If I could display everything I have it would make an episode of Hoarders look like Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous

Also a handful of Zords.

What's wrong with that? Some people don't want their figures strewn about the house.
Could be worse.
Some people collect baseball cards. Stick 'em in a binder and file them away.

>>5959290
My collection room is also my office so any time I just want to hang out alone or get a little work done I'm surrounded by the one thing that makes me content in this whole world.

Star Wars Black Series 6": 7
Star Wars Black Series 3.75": 7
Star Wars Basic Series 3.75": 60
Pokemon Moncolle: 14
Amiibo: 5

I'm ashamed of all the basic series Star Wars stuff I got. I got wrapped up in the Force Awakens hype and bought the entire line. I hadn't collected Star Wars for 10 years at that point and it was like old times again. Obviously didn't last cause now I just have them in a bin in my closet. Same goes for the 3.75" Black Series. Really like the 6" line though. Just been buying my favorite characters for that line. Just wish they'd rerelease guys like Yoda, Han, and R2 cause the prices on them now are a bit excessive. On me for getting into the line too late, I suppose.

>>5963795
I think his point isn't about people putting all their figures in one room but people putting nothing but their figures in one room. I kinda agree with him. Just add your desk or something in it.

Coincidentally i just made a list a few days ago:

>DB/Z- 100+
>Nintendo/Smash- 30
>Megaman- 15
>Pokemon- 15
>FFVII/KH-13
>Gundam- 12
>Rangers/Sentai- 10
>HunterxHunter- 8
>Naruto- 8
>Jojo - 8
>Toy Story- 6
>Gorillaz- 4
>FLCL- 2
>Fullmetal Alc- 2
>YuYu Hakusho- 2

DBZ is clearly my main line and the others are my favorite properties that i have specific goals for. Most of these are complete and wont be added to

Mainly Figuarts, 4 SAS, two Figmas, three NECAs, Legacy Megazord and Dragonzord, and one Armor Plus.

Figuarts - 10
Figma - 3
Robot damashii - 4
ThreeA/WWR - 12
DC(in general) - 3
Gundam/macross(kits) - 10
Sentinel/Riobot(FLCL/Getter/etc) - 3
1/6 figs (Hottoys/Dragon/etc.) - 4

Hot wheels/Tomica - 10
Lego(sets) - 2
Monsterarts - 2
Neca - 3
MOTUC - 1
SOC - 1
SIC (KT/regular release) - 5
Transformers(CHUG/G1/MP/3rd party) - 30+

I'm only counting "Action figures" not really including my hipster garbage and airsoftshit though.

I thought more crazy numbers would be posted.

Are most people on this board "small time" collectors or are those with big collections afraid to start counting?

Seeing how everyone act like some kind of toy expert in most threads, I assume it's the latter but with how egocentric people are these days the former could still apply.

>>5958988
19 nendoroids
5 figma (trying to sell them all)
about 15 or so gunpla
4 scale figs

>>5964076
I don't think most of the peeps here are really "collectors" in a completionist sense of the word.
More of a "hey that's cool and i want it" kind of folk that puts their stuff on display.

>>5964076
there is a guy with 1500 TFs in this thread. That counts as a "crazy number". I almost envy him but goddamn that's a shit ton of toys

File: not even maruchan.jpg (60KB, 500x667px) Image search: [Google]

>>5964076
Most people here are poorfags who can only buy within their meager budgets or allowances.
Then you've got to take into account that there's a good amount of people here who live in not-USA and have to pay 50-300% more for their toys, and their wages are shit.
And from there, there's people who only buy overpriced Japanese/HongKong/Taiwanese toys.

So you have a lot of people on /toy/ who have small collections, and these people make up the majority of the "egocentric" posters on this board, because their tastes are refined from only buying the best of the best of the best... but it's mostly because they can't afford anything else, thus it's shit, and everyone who doesn't agree is a troll.

>>5964094
>I thought more crazy numbers would be posted.
>more

>>5964149
Kinda agree except most poorfag collectors are usually from the USA.

3 Variable Action Heroes
8 SH Figurarts
6 Robot Damashii
3 Revoltech
5 Figma
12 Star Wars Black Series


And some other stuff I don't feel like counting

I would say my total collection probably tops out around 300-400+ figures but in terms of diversity of figures it's actually much lower. Most my collection consists of a lot of doubles or triples because I would rather spend the money making sure I have spare parts/backup figure than buy stuff I only "sorta kinda" like. Also to make sure I get good QC because I do have a few singles with spotty QC where I wish I had bought more than one. Hell, I wish I had bought another figma Ryuko when her price wasn't insane even though I own 2 because now I am afraid to pose her and break her since she is worth $200-300+

If I were to guesstimate...1/4 is probably SAS, 1/4 is figma, 1/4 is Bandai stuff and the remaining 1/4 is statues, GI Joes and a few NECA.

5 figma
3 SH Figuarts
1 super chogokin
3 Revoltech
16 HG Bandai
4 MG Bandai
3 Nendoroid
1 MOMO
4 Daibadi
5 Hasegawa kit
3 Fuijimi Kit
6 Kotobukiya Kit
4 Wave Kit
1 Gunbuster bandai 1/6
1 Prize Gunbuster
1 McCoy Desktop Bulma
1 Vintage vinyle Godzilla
and some other prize and candy toy from dragon ball, evangelion etc

>>5964293
+ 12 or more other kit
and 33 Yamato mecha coll kit
1 Yamato 2520 kit

>>5958988

From MFC(Some of my collection aren't listed in the database so I didn't include those):

Figma - 38(42 if doubles are included)
D-Arts - 9(10 if doubles are included)
Play Arts - 17
Play Arts Kai - 2
Robot Damashii - 2
S.H. Figuarts - 46
Transformers Masterpiece - 1
Gunpla Master Grades - 2
Gunpla High Grades - 7
Kotobukiya Kit - 3

I have other model kits like the Desktop Arcade Collection vol 1-3 and 2nd attack(have them all and variants except for the jubeat) Wave Model kits,SOTA SF(have all the characters in p1 colors and a few ingame variant colors like Dark Sakura, Mech Zangief, Purple Akuma, etc) Rockman mega armor kits from Bandai, Ex:rides, Tamashii effects, 1/12 vehicles etc but I'm too lazy to count all of those.


Any reason for asking, OP?

>>5964331
>Any reason for asking, OP?
Just curious about the type of collectors I'm sharing the board with.

>>5958988
Transformers - 13
SH Figuarts/Robot Damashi- 13
Figma - 10
Revoltech -10
3A robots - 3
SAS Jo jo's - 3

Old TMNT & Toxic Crusaders - 20

Busou Shinki - 2

Statueshits - 2
Titty monster Nami - 1
shoebox of Glyos and Lego

The only thing I ever bothered collecting the whole line was the Toxic Crusader figures.

>>5964076
I was surprised by the modest numbers too. but yeah I think you're right when the collection gets too big it would take a day's effort to itemize everything.
also interesting people throwing out the big numbers are transformers collectors.

>>5964149
Which one is your collection?

304KB, 1536x861px

>>5965122
The one with too much shit packed in closets, with a couple of figures smattering shelvess.
Also, a lot of boxes of unopened legos and gundams.

I don't see the point of counting, unless I'm fitting in a team into the seats of a vehicle or heli.

>>5964076
I'm over the 200 mark on things from Gunpla, to usual figures to candy toys like Assault Kingdoms.
This thread made me realise I'm not doing as bad as I actually thought, although I am looking at trying to cut down my collection where I can now.

>>5965356
> too much shit packed in closets
So you're a hoarder with no self control.

I think this confirmed my suspicion on the fact that this board is filled with 40+ year olds.

>>5965555
>closets are used to store stuff and keep it out of the way
>storing toys in closets is hoarding
Tell me that again when my shit is overflowing from them, then it might be true.

~15 Nendoroids, but that's only because I have the entire 501st.
Number 2 is 15 if you count preorders or 9 if you don't [spoiler]Welovefine My Little Pony vinyls[/spoiler]
Third spot is either 9 FAGs or 8-11 Shinkis depending on how you count EX sets and blank bodies

>>5965577
If you just keep most of your toys stored away in a closet whats the point? You should get rid of some of it. If you're keeping stuff just to have it, then that is hoarding.

>>5965591
>If you just keep most of your toys stored away in a closet whats the point? You should get rid of some of it. If you're keeping stuff just to have it, then that is dumb.
Fixed that for you.
i think it's dumb just to buy stuff and only every have it to display. Completely misses the point of a toy.

Hoarding is when that shit is just building up in random places and you have no where to put it. And yes, it's for the sake to just have, usually.
But it's just dumb just to own shit just to own.

I definitely don't do that, as i take stuff out of my closets all the time just to play with them.
So I don't know how you think putting stuff in closet = never taken out again, unless you're some hoarder who filled that up long ago and cram shit in front of it, like i've seen in the collection threads here on /toy/

>>5965612
I guess it depends on how you store it. But it sounds like you have shit piled on shit, not very conducive to casually going in and picking up the toy you want. You have like a big baby toy chest or something?

I try to streamline my collection whenever I feel I have too much. I also sell fotms or give them away as gifts to kids.

>>5964094
It's what happens when you collect for longer than half of /toy/ has been alive.

>>5965745
Years back, when I was only at around 300 TFs (plus scattered other stuff), I estimated over $10K. With how the bottom has fallen out on the market now, I don't think even triple the number would bring in the same amount of money.

>>5966024
> I estimated over $10K
Wtf did you only collect vintage G1 stuff?

>>5965745
About 30K

>>5966073
Yes, mostly vintage G1, G2, and Diaclone plus some MPs/BTsand a few expensive non-TF items as well. These days none of it is worth anything unless you're dealing with a certain type of buyer.

>>5958988
