   I was at the mall and I saw a really cool looking Figure of Mazinkaiser, which I really like. . . then that very same day I went to a friends house that its huge figure collector. And he had one figure of Mazinkaiser ( not the same that I saw which was cooler but it was the same mecha ) and it was between others Mazinger figures, a lot of Evas, some gundam's and a couple of mechs from Full Metal Panic ( don't know the name ) and I tough that the figure of Mazinkaiser just didn't look as cool and unique as I tough earlier that day...

   I think that when you have too many figures, none of them stands apart from any of the others . . . but that's my opinion

   What do you guys think about having a lot of figures ?

   In my mind it's the same as alot of anime or games enough is never enough. In short nothing wrong with it.

   Basically, 2 or 3 quality figures is equal to or better than a bunch of regular figures.

   The only problem, though, is running out of space

   There is no such thing as "too many figures"

   btw, the Full Metal Panic mechas are called "Arm Slave". Oh, that reminds me, I saw on akiba the other day, they were showing a robot fighting game for the PS3 with the mechas from Full Metal Panic, Gundam, Code Geass and Macross. Sweet...

    Yeah, we should all be giving our spare money to charity. Or better, put it in some bank account and never even consider touching it because it would be a "waste of money"

    I once saw some travel agent ad: "If you can afford flying first class but you don't, your grandchildren will"

    Yeah, a big problem is space. If you don't have the space, well... right now, most of my figures are in their boxes, since there's nowhere to put them. Your concern seems to be that they don't stand out or seem as cool when you have a bunch of the same right next to each other. This could depend on a lot of things like the quality of the figures, whether you really like that character, etc. If you just have a bunch of mediocre figures of characters you don't care about, it loses some of it's magic.

    Can a library have to many books? A museum too many paintings?

    It helps to have figures at differing heights to stand them apart. For example, I have my Zoid Genobreaker placed at the very top of my bookshelf, looking very menacing with claws and mouth wide open.

    Well I'm not trying to say that is wrong to have too many figures. . . I wouldn't have many figures ( maybe for or five ) But MY PERSONAL opinion is that having too much of anything can just ruin the charm. . .

    For example, when I bought my trade paper back of Friday the 13th, i was really exited that day, reading it taking my time, looking very carefully the detail in the drawing, the blood and such things and that charm lasted at least for a week or two. . . because buying trade paper backs or graphic novels is a big thing to me.

    Now if I buy a lot of them per month, it would lose that charm of having something new, because now you are use to have new things. . .

    But as I said that's my opinion about having too much things ( I specifically asked about figures because i knew that they were the thing that people buy the most in the forum... i guess )

    Tough sometimes I look at those huge Transformers collections that people have and I wish that I could have them!

    Yeah, that friend of mine even has figures of animes that he hates ! Just to have more. . . Doesn't seem logical to only have of things that you like ?

    Once I won a figure of Tenjou Tenge which I hate, so I sold it right away and I bough a really cool figure of Mugen from Samurai Champloo.

    Ok lets be brutally clear on this.

    If your cock regularly smells of pussy, or for the ladies here, if your pussy regular gets filled with sperm, then you likely don't have too many figures regardless of the actual number.

    I always thought her artifact was the most useless. Convenient, but useless. Compared to Negi's other pactio partners..

    Now this I strongly disagree. Wasting money? No. I save money just and especially for figurines, discarding my living expenses. I collect, I don't regret, I am satisfied, I am happy. Especially buying high quality ones. IMHO, it seriously, does not waste my money.

    I agree with many posts above. Having tons of bootleg crap isn't eyecandy. Don't spend a lot of little bills on cheap plastic. It'd definitely be much wiser to spend money, enough for 50 bootlegs, on a single legendary quality figurine.

    To weigh in on this topic...

    I too have the same issue as motaku96

    ^ I agree..

    Which is why I - do not go - on a spending spree on EVERY figure that's out there or is available!

    There are many - "variants of the same character" - made by several makers, so I tend to do research on it (the one I am going to buy), taking into account several aspects of the figure. (that are important to me)

    Like, quality, pose, paint colour scheme, accuracy, aesthetics, and is it a - REALLY - a limited edition? or will it re-surface as a another issue that has the - "limited issue" - moniker on it?

    What usually happens (for me anyway) is that once I am satisfied by a particular maker, I usually stay with that maker, because I know the quality and all that I am looking for will remain a constant.

    I personally wouldn't buy a figure - (just because) - one figure has (lets say) a school uniform in a certain colour scheme, then another one is released/available (same figure pose, hair, style, and uniform) however the only difference is the - colour scheme - of that uniform. ~ to me, that a waste of money.

    But, I have seen it happen in many collections, like a cloned army of the same character/figure, and to me ~ THAT doesn't make it a "collection".

    All in all, it really doesn't matter how many you have, its how many are actually different, unique, and are pleasing to the eye that matters. (to me anyway) ...
