Do you have any collection mania that you strictly follow?

Put different lines on different shelves.
Then they don't clash.
Problem solved.

I have this incredibly rare thing where I just don't buy Marvel Legends or any other child-grade figures. Weird, right?

>>6394486
That's not rare, that's just like any other normalfag.

Funny you should say that, as my Aquaman fig is currently riding on the back of my Fluffy from Harry Potter fig.

So to answer your question...no

I've been collecting the Shinkocchou Seihou Kamen Rider's that I think look cool so far I have Hibiki, Agito, Decade, and Cyclone Joker.

I have no intention of ever watching any Kamen Rider show.

I can't justify buying random shit no matter how cool it is. I always feel guilty for wasting my money. I can only bring myself to buy figures of waifu-tier characters.

I like to hand write extensive lists of which characters I'll want to collect for each different franchise (which specific members of the Avengers or X-Men, ect). I'll write a new one every now and then even though they end up pretty much the same each time, I've probably written an entire notepad's worth of the within the last year or so.

Not crazy just bored

I mix different lines and different toy brands. I do try to keep everything around the same scale though.

>>6394627
That's totally fine, if you like the design that's all the motivation you need to buy it.

>>6394416
It helps the I hate like 90% of stuff that gets made into toys like marvel, mecha and moe anime girls.

It just too bad that I have recently devolved taste for designers toys made by artist like Ron English and Huck Gee which is not cheap and is considered hipster trash by most on here.

>>6394416
Yyyyyeah. I keep a pretty wacky text file that manages and tracks all of my toy collecting activity. It includes:

>detailed purchase history that goes back to 2014 (including price (plus shipping if applicable), month in which the item was purchased, which items were shipped together, etc)
>monthly and yearly cost breakdowns, plus rolling averages and year-over-year comparisons to track how far down the rabbit hole I have gone
>a code system that signifies grails purchased, as well as purchases that I regret
>a comprehensive pre-order/en-route list divided by stores, prices, and release dates, plus multi-ship planning for Private Warehouse/Pile of Loot
>a graded scale (A, A/B, B, B/C, C) that prioritizes future purchases and various wish-list additions

Anon if you really do that then let me make this clear to you:

You don't actually like collecting toys. You just enjoy spending money frivolously for a brief high and rush of excitement. The things you're spending your money on don't actually matter to you.

Try limiting yourself to a budget or to a number of toys you for certain won't sell and then you'll find out if you actually like toy collecting or not. And if what you really like is just spending your money for a quick high then i'd suggest you try making some financial investments and the stock market out instead.

Whenever I buy a new figure, I write them a little note welcoming them to the menagerie and explaining what I like about them and why I chose them for the collection. Then I give them a little advice on how to fit in with all the other figures, and a copy of my weekly dusting and playtime schedule so they won't get behind on things. I like new figures to feel welcomed :^)

Not really.

The worst I do is mostly only think about how all my purchases will work within my favorite scale: 1:18.

But I still buy things out of scale because they're too cool to pass up.


... I waste too much money on toys and that is my only real mania.

>>6396411
1:18 is a good scale, but the problem with it is that 1:24 and 1:12 are more common.

>>6396346
Because it's hipster trash. What are you doing here?

I hate having doubles of characters. I have two Captain Americas and Mega Men and it flares up much autism.

Nothing is more common than 1:18 scale.
Practically everything exists for it, unlike 1:24 and 1:12.

>>6394555
It's normalfag to buy $200-300 figures of nerdy anime shit. Okay Anon, sure.

>>6399928
I...I am normal, right?

>>6396411
New /toy/ mania: for the post no. 6666666 I will tell everyone how 1:12 is the best scale.

I like too many different lines, so I try a few things to manage my collection instead of it managing me.
I try to only collect stuff from my initial exspouser to a given franchise. For example, I grew up watching 90's Marvel and DC cartoons, so I only collect comic versions of characters. I make exception for stuff like Guardians of the Galaxy since the movies were my first introduction to the characters. I always try to keep to my preferred scale of 1/12. Transformers don't matter in this regard cause lol scale. Also, I do buy the occasion thing just because it looks cool, but I usually try to only buy stuff that gives me the "warm fuzzies."

>>6394416
Not everyone who collects is autistic anon.

>>6398831
Pretty sure that in a worldwide sense 1:48 is the most common scale.
