Anime figures.
I understand how it seems like a weird and uninteresting thing but i could tell a little story about every single one i own. Sadly i decided in the beginning on a rather lewd theme for my collection so its extra hard to share.
Shut up it’s not uninteresting
Ohh look, i do not think so either but many people could not care less. And thats fine by me too. But then you have the crowd that outright judges your whole personality based on that hobby.
i do avoid anime merch for that reason specifically, but many people in my group of apprentices (if that makes sense) openly wear it, even MHA.
nobody worth interacting with would judge you for wearing merch of a thing you like. of course try to wear SFW things, obviously.
i have a fully white t-shirt that has takumi fujiwara's eyes and text that says "eurobeat intensifies". never once got a weid look, and i do look a lot like the anime enjoyer everyone imagines in their head. people genuinely don't give a damn.
i would love to start my own little shelf, any brands you recommend to a fellow german?
i would like to start collecting MCs from my most favourite anime. most of them are pretty mainstream, so i imagine them being farely easy to get.
I mainly shop on solarisjapan.com, sometimes amiami.com. If you dont want to do the hassle with zoll (i only once had to actually go to the zollamt and declare my package) there are also german anime sides but i do not know which to recommend. Prices aren't cheaper either because of your beloved umsatzsteuer.
Or did you mean brand as in manufacturer? Will be tough because my favorite manufacturers produce lewd stuff and thats mostly Original Chracters or Anime Games (Azur Lane has such a giant line up).
As a site for browsing figures and merch i recommend myfigurecolletion.net They have an extensive library. I use it to log my collection (what i own, what i have ordered and what i wish for).
dear god, they get expensive quick. i guess if i buy multiple i can at least save on shipping...
i'll also have a look at local sellers and see if i can save a buck somehow, i guess buying pre-owned can help too.
thanks for taking the time!
It really depends on the figure, some are get sadly more expensive on the second hand market but most only lose slightly in value. This also means though that you wont feel like a moron once you leave the hobby. Most money is indeed lost in shipping fees and taxes. By the way, myfigurecollection has a second hand market. When you place items on your wishlist you will get notified if this item is sold by someone. I already bought 3 figures this way.
Like i said i always love to talk about this as i rarely meet people who ade interested. So if you got any more questions feel free to ask me any time.
sure, will do. i have multiple "collection hobbies" and every single other one is valid, be it model trains, nerf blasters, stamps, retro consoles, garden gnomes etc.
every single one is interesting and nuanced in many ways, and i love talking about them. even if i often don't understand the appeal.
and honestly, being into anime is mainstream now.
