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.
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!
My story… is rather simple on the surface, but deeply rooted. I have always been an avid fan of Anime. I grew up in the Macross/Robotech era.

It wasn’t until high school that I had a more serious point of view on Anime. Watching series like Maison Ikkoku and Orange Road, I could identify with the main characters and their pursuit for happiness with the woman they admired. My identification with these characters stemmed from my own silent crushes with the many girls in my school. Always thinking, never acting. It wasn’t until I went to college that I started getting more interested in Anime and became a proud collector – buying anime CDs and posters, talking about Anime, and playing anime related video games. This was mostly due to the friends I met whom I still consider them my best friends. I had realised that my interest in Macross and Gundam was minimal. I was more interested in the likes of Morrigan, […]
