A friend of yours wants to get into collecting figures as a hobby. Which lines do you introduce them to?

Hasbro, bandai us, 3A
Happened already. I went with gunpla. Then we didn't have the time to build gunpla together anymore so we both just kinda stopped.
If they're going to be collecting casually, then Black Series of Marvel Legends.
>>6119069
Figuarts, Figma, and possibly Aracadia's Macross (orignial, none of that shitty copy pastad love live bullshit) line

>build gunpla together
I will never know this feel...
>>6119087
Add in Revoltech and PAK already, you fucking masochist
Xevoz
>>6119069
Figma, figuarts
Isn't finding out what you're passionate about kinda the point of connecting?

I warn them not to start. Way better things to buy than plastic crack.

10 times this. I just think of all the money I waste on toys, makes me want to punch myself
>>6122564
It's not the money I regret spending, it's collecting the wrong toylines.
>that feel when you've sent two of your friends down the path of toy collecting
I regret nothing.
And to answer OP's question, that just depends on their interests.
>>6119069
doesn't it depend on what the friend likes? does anyone collect based on brand and not licence or property? If you like batman you collect mattyshit and if you like marvel or star wars of transgenderformers you're a has-bro.

I introduced one through pawning off old Legends and Figuarts and getting him into kamen rider.
He had to move though and sticks to stuff like checkout lane WoN stuff last he said.

The lore will hook them
>>6119069
Me? I was a pretty big collector of the Hasbro 3.75" Star Wars action figures, but everything changed when I discovered 3A!
Now that 3A has the Star Wars license looks like hehe... looks like we've come full circle, pardner!
>>6119069
This is pretty much how I got into the hobby. My friend and are huge dbz fans and he introduced me to the figures line and fast forward 2 years and now I have 50 figuarts, 70 figma, 3 HotToys and a few Revoltechs.
