Umm, does Gunpla count as figures, b/c if that is the case, then no, I collected gunpla before I read your sight.  Regardless, may start obtaining some figures....  Some....

While I'd like to start collecting I really don't have the space right now, even for storage. And I'd really have to come up with a good excuse as to why, other than "Me likey".

My love for figures started with Danny's review of the Max Factory Kureha last year. Although I failed to acquire one for myself despite searching thoroughly for months, I just recently found and bought one at a rather hefty premium price. No regrets! I've got 1 and a half cabinets full of figures and Gunpla now ;)

I gotta be honest I always wanted to collect figures but the prices were too high for something that doesn't do anything but sit there.  Once I found out about figmas here on your site I finally started collecting.  Statues just don't please me as much I like figures that are pose able.  I'd love to see what's in the rubbish bin.   Promotional materials probably don't get out to the US huh?  Is there any way you could maybe get a hold of some promo materials and give them to members of your site?

Been buying figures before I stumbled/crashlanded here but I'll admit I wouldn't have bought my Needa if I didn't see it here first, your figure photos are what inspire me.

Can't begin to imagine what it must've been like to stroll through there. I'd probably fall to my knees and cry at the sight of a mountain of Nida. @___@

Thanks, as always, for showing us around behind the scenes. Any chance you might be able to get us a look at Kaiyodo's Revoltech headquarters?

As for the poll question, Danny is indeed responsible for my (so-far) small figure collection. My girlfriend is putting up with it so far, so I'm not going to push it by getting too many, but some essentials – Nida, Yoko (when somebody makes the right one), and of course, when she comes along, Mirai ^___^ – she seems willing to tolerate. (Lucky for me.)

I wasn't a huge collector due to money reasons but that has all changed. I started before reading DC where I was reading other ppl's rant's and hobbies. That's pretty much what triggered my hunger as a figure collector. Now, after being in the figure scene for a while I'm getting into  other misc. items as well. ^^

reply to Optic's comment

Was always interested in them but couldnt justify the price for an inanimate piece of resin/plastic/metal. Oh, how blind was I??? After converting to Dannyism the path is clear, it's so obvious now. It's all your fault Dan! =p   Hmm actually i wanted to bring this up for a while, since you are rather famous in these circles, i'm sure you have some power to push around.  I know you advertise for many stores that sell everything otaku, is there a way that we could become like elite dannychoo members on the site and earn points that can work towards a discount off your sponsors or those you advertise for? Or like have special promotional items for dannychoo memebrs, anyways you get my point.

Not sure exactly how it would work but that would be really cool.

I actually started collecting PVC's before I came to this site. My first PVC was the Bandai DX Lacus Voice I Doll. But I stopped collecting figures and model kits, and now spending all the money on the PSP nowadays, xD .

reply to GTR's comment

LoL the first pic is hilarious! Danny running away with all the phat loot!

Initially, I had tried to control myself from buying figurines before, and I managed to control it for about 3 years (the urge!!). But with the release of Max Factory's Sawatari Makoto, I was totally overwhelmed and made my first ever pre-order last year for her. But I guess it's also due to reading and seeing all the beautiful figures on dannychoo.com that also led to me starting this hobby.

Btw, that gundam that you couldn't ID, that's Legend.

I really like the figures and whatnot, but my wallet is incredibly stubborn on spending that much cash for something that would just sit in display.  Curse that Finance class teaching proper money management and what's considered a need and a want!

If I were ever gonna have a figure, it'd most likely be one given to me.  Seriously there have been quite a few times where I where gave in and got some...

I had a few figures before I started reading dannychoo.com. Got them at anime conventions only. After reading, I started to buy a few from online retailers. Now knowing it's cheaper and have a much larger selection to choose from.
If I entered that warehouse.. I would be dumbfounded, just staring at the mountains of boxes.

Danny's review of Alter Saber made me go and get her.  Got extremely tired of losing my glasses between my dresser and secretary-now I have Saber hold them for me =) Not a single Negative comment from any of my friends or guests at my place.  They think its pretty cool,  especially since she holds my cleaning cloth as well-looks like she just got done with the beach.  At my workspace ive got Max Factory Haruhi on my desk reminding people to take a survey.  I use to have Mirei too, but she was a little too risque.  Its a fun little hobby, but can get expensive real quick.  If Max Factory puts out a Haruhi long hair version in 1/8 or larger my wallet is gone.  Off topic-does anyone know if San Diego Comic Con has figure sellers?

Only if those boxes were see through. And if you want LOTS of help raiding the warehouse just spend me a return ticket?

WHAT figures in the garbage?! All I can say is I can help save the planet all they have to do is ship those figurines to me for free.

reply to Jenarwen's comment

When I started collecting (here in Vancouver BC) I was in early high school and didn't know where to get stuff so when I came across something form a show I liked (no matter what it was really), I'd buy it. So I have alot of figures I'm not particularly attached to. Up until a year ago it was kind of like this. However, now, I'm kind of exclusively Max Factory/Good Smile as they make the best quality best priced figures that I can usually find a way to obtain.

Read more about my figures at my blog: http://blog.cleartranquil.com

As for those photos....and in light of what I mentioned above (about WHAT I am collecting right now). If I wasn't a Christian I'd give my soul to go to that warehouse...but...I'm a Christian, I'd only give a left nut to go there.

For a moment there I thought all the pics in this post were going to be all cardboard boxes, Danny! >.<

All those figures in the glass cabinets at Good Smile office is just too awesome.  Wish my office looked like that and had a figure collection along an entire friggin' wall!

I've always collected figures before I came to this site but I never (and still don't) got any girlie figures.  But this site is really tempting me every time and I want to get a good one as my first.

Thanks for the sneaky peaky at Good Smile's warehouse, Danny.

I've also noticed...and saddened...to see that they have like multiples of the same RARE figs just sitting around there. I mean, gee, I'm jelous already if they had even ONE.

(Talking of course about Konata as Haruhi, and the Nendoroid Fate/Stay Lucky Stars).
