Having dindins at a Thai place that we discovered nearby - probably
very unlikely to have stumbled onto the place without the iPhone and a
gourmet app which lists restaurants from ones current location.
The food tasted great but probably would not have tasted as good as it
did without being accompanied by a figure. Food does not taste the
same without figures watching you eat. Any of you carry a figure
around everywhere you go?

iPhoneのグルメアプリで見つかった近所のタイレストラン。美味しかったが、フィギュアも一緒じゃなければ、こんなに美味しい事はなかったでしょう。皆さんもフィギュアをどこでも持ち歩いていますか?

      Same here! It's annoying, people have a pretty extreme idea of anime-fans here.

    Always have a nen-puchi, a nendoroid or a figma where ever I go. I must admit though, food really does taste different with figures around, rarely eat hot or warm food nowadays .. ^^

    Well, I've heard that coin collectors sometimes carry an old or unusual coin with them, so this doesn't surprise me. I guess a figure that's small, has few or no small parts that could get lost, and could be easily replaced in case of loss/damage would work. But it's a different story when one has only a few figures to start with..

    It's still kinda not socially acceptable around here for strait men to carry the man purse. It's reserved for conventions only. Otherwise I would have the Initial D bag at all times!! So no figure carrying for me.

    Too afraid to lose or to break the figure. Also I'm usually to focused on the food to remember to take a picture.

    I think Taku Hachiro used to carry a figure with him wherever he goes, but not anymore, I think it was just back in the 90s.

    I don't take figures around with me, they are easily broken and there is not much to leave the house for.

    I usually bring 1 figma with me during the weekends. The ziplock bag is really handy.

    Because of you, Danny, I now carry a Darth Vader Pez dispenser every time I go out to eat at a new place. No joke!

    I don't have nendroids, and my figures are too large to conveniently carry around. Plus I'm afraid to damage them or get food grease all over them.

    I prefer not to carry any anime related out in public, people look at you like you're an alien. Besides, I don't think carrying a MG Gundam kit around is most convenient.
