Commemorating 1 Year of Figure Collecting

I admit I went through the phase of ordering, buying, and spending madly on figures as many had done when first started out in this hobby so my collection had indeed multiplied crazily throughout this one year. Luckily though, I didn’t end up with any bootlegs. With that, I’ll be sharing with you all the figures I’ve attained in this one year and which figure(s) I’ll be presenting various titles such as year’s holy grail, year’s favorite, year’s regrets, and many others to.

My Bakuman. collection.
A collection that’s not completed but I, strangely, feel satisfied with. I would love to add Phat Company’s Bakuman. trading figures into the collection, but that’s only a thought; one that I don’t feel urgent about. Therefore, the size of this group will not be growing anymore for a long time.

My Durarara!! collection.
A collection that’s on hold. Because of their small sizes (plus I have no other Durarara!! figures to put them together with), I’ve not found a neat way to display them on my shelf so they’re kept in their boxes for the time being. I plan to get hold of Alter’s Izaya, Shizuo, and Celty in the future to join this collection, but that’s only when I have no other items on my wishlist that I’d want to hunt for. After which, I would pretty much consider this group to be complete (unless new scale figures of other Durarara!! figures get released) and will display them.

My Gintama collection.
A steadily growing collection which consists solely of Banpresto’s prize figures as of now. I might consider getting figures from the G.E.M.’s line next time but that’s a low possibility since I feel rather content with how the collection is looking already with just these prize figures.

My Haiyore! Nyaruko-san collection.
A certain to grow collection, but will only consist of Nyaruko and not any other characters from the series because I’m only most fond of her. I have most of her other known and available figures already on order and is excitedly waiting for them to arrive starting next year!

My HUNTERxHUNTER collection.
By far the current biggest and my second favorite collection as compared to the rest of the groups. New figures from HUNTERxHUNTER continue to be release by Banpresto and the money from my wallet and pocket just continue to be drained by them.

Missing figures from the group photo above are Banpresto’s Silva and Zeno (who arrived days after I took that group photo) and a chibi figure of both Hisoka and Killua each who were gifts received from a friend just two days ago.

My One Piece collection.
A collection that’s on hold and waiting to grow. Due to the fact that there’s countless number of One Piece figures already released, I’m not sure where to start buying from to build this collection. I’ve only bought a few figures of my favorite characters from One Piece so far–with the others gifted–and I’m now patiently waiting for a decent set of the Straw Hat Crew figures that come together as a whole.

What’s missing in the group photo is a model kit of Thousand Sunny by Bandai that I’ve yet to build. And no, I don’t plan to paint any of the ships because I really suck at art and craft, especially at painting.

My Touhou collection.
A collection that will most probably not grow anymore after I obtain Remilia Scarlet’s nendoroid someday.

My VOCALOID collection.
A collection that I feel no need of expanding. I do, however, am eager to obtain a set of scale figures of the Kagamine twins and 2013’s Snow Miku because the Kagamine twins are my favorite VOCALOIDs and the 2013’s Snow Miku is looking stunning respectively.

My Yosuga no Sora, or rather, Kasugano Sora, collection.
My ultimate favorite collection over the rest not only because of how gorgeous this collection looks, but also mainly due to Sora being my waifu. I was impatient and went overboard with my spending on her this year. Now I left Taki Corporation’s Sora (which, I admit, is not a well-made figure) to hunt for before I officially consider this collection of my waifu to be complete.

And that, was all of the figures I’ve recklessly acquired this one year ever since I’ve devoted myself into this hobby. With the word ‘recklessly’ mentioned, does that mean I regret my choices? Not exactly, but there’s ought to be some damned purchases. I do have a few positive take-away too, which somewhat brings me to my next section: titles giveaway!
