So this is another figure that was sold this week. Or not... I'm having second thoughts on this one for sure.

I’m sure most of you have come up against the problem of owning too many anime figures, that you’re running out of room. My own personal solution is to rotate them, and keep some of them in storage. This keeps things fresh. You may recall a previous post on my collection, so let’s see how things have changed since then.

Comic Party – Mizuki Takase

One figure I’ve had for a very long time now is this Comic Party Mizuki Takase, by Kotobukiya. She’s actually been through quite the history with me, even though I don’t really think too much about her.

Natalia Luzu Kimlasca Lanvaldear – Kotobukiya

Going through my backlog of already snapped photos, I decided to post this one. Quite the stunning figure that I bought a while back. She’s out of print, and like many Kotobukiya figures, you won’t see re-release. 20 more photos after the jump!

My Current Collection

It’s been a long time since I’ve posted any of the recent figures I’ve purchased. Yet, I’ve been constantly complaining about my lack of space, and the figures I have been selling, I’m not actually getting rid of my entire collection – space or not. Many of my figures are packed and stored in my closet. Well, less than 30%, if I would have to make a guess… There are quite a few figures that I just can’t part with, even if they’re put away in the closet. I’m sure many of you have the same problem. My own personal solution? Cycle them ocassionally. I’ve done it once or twice already, and it’s always fun, and your shelves never look boring. I like re-arranging my figures so they have a theme, or some sort of cool looking composition, or maybe I feel like “featuring” one particular figure, and place her under the spotlight. As such, I’ve decided to document how my collection changes over time. This would be the second time I’ve taken photos of my own collection. More photos after the jump!

Rei Party Dress

This is a very pretty figure that I’ve had for a while. I bought her from the Diamond Comics Previews catalogue. I just love how elegant and simple she is. Manufactured by Kotobukiya, she’s approximately 1:8 scale. More photos after the jump!

Estel Freesia

More figures have arrived in the past few months, and some figures that I’ve had since last year still remain unopened, in my closet. This is bad news. I’m obviously running out of room, and I need to make room as well as sell off some of the figures I have stored away and will probably never display again. It’s a shame because many of these figures are quite nice. Estel Freesia

Differences in Plastics – ABS, PVC, Vinyl, Resin, Polystone, oh my!

A while ago, I had posted an article on Anime Figurines Network on the difference between certain types of plastics. Today, I’ve decided to take that article, make modifications and clarifications on it, and post it here. This article will cover various plastics from PVC, to Resin, and their methods, properties and advantages.
