I'm usually pretty good about not spending too much on things (I really want that BB-8 sphero, but that's a lot of money to spend on one thing)

It's just that I end up buying lots of stuff and since i have tons of storage space it's all in storage now.

I just keep all the Funkos in their boxes so they take up a bit of space too.

ha, Funkos are the one collectible I don't get XD if I fork out on dolls, I get the fancier ones (mostly from Japan). I even have a small BJD that I'm turning into a Bucky! He's adorable. I just need to paint the face, but I'm kind of terrified I'll botch it.

My rule is usually not to impulse buy. As in, I try not to get things that are right now new and shiny, or for a fandom I only just got into - I wait a bit, and see if a year down the line I'm still interested. That's how I got my fancy expensive figure of Edward Elric. Even though I'm not in the fandom anymore, I have no regrets.

Honestly, I started my Funko thing because they were Christmas gifts from a friend. I love Wizard of Oz and he knows it, so he got me a few. Then I got the Doctor Who ones and then my friend got me more Funkos the next Christmas. I have 12 in total, 6 Wizard of Oz ones (4 of which were gifts), 4 Doctor Who ones, 1 Star Wars (a gift) and 1 Harry Potter (a gift).

I love BJD, at least the way they look! I'd be so terrified about painting because I don't have a steady hand at all.

I try to do the same thing as far as waiting, will I love this fandom later? Which helped lately, but uh I had a few anime posters that are random and I'll probably end up tossing. Granted my main fandom collectibles are Wizard of Oz, Harry Potter, Star Wars, and Doctor Who and I got in to them at least 10 years ago.

My favorite collectible? My Harry Potter books, I have them in 19 languages from places I've visited. My one coworker knows this and he's gotten me 3 languages too. (sorry this got long, I love collecting things)

No no, that's cool! Collecting the Harry Potter books in different languages is awesome. My multi-country collection is earrings: I try to get something that represents the local style from everywhere I go. For example, Venetian Glass earrings, or carved lava from Pompeii, the Key of Crete, Toledo gold, etc.

The thing with Funkos is that they all look sort of samey to me? I just can't get wanting more than one. (not judging! that's just my very subjective opinion, and clearly lots of people love them).

Ha, I also have a few wallscrolls sitting around gathering dust. One is from Bleach (which now I cringe at). My Weiss Kreuz poster is still up on my door, though, and I don't regret that one.

The Harry Potter ones are neat because a bunch of the countries have their own covers. I really love the Swedish and German ones and find the Finnish one to be really unusual.

Oh I totally get you on the Funkos. Then I started collecting the Hallmark itty bittys, basically the Funkos except plush because there aren't that many new Wizard of Oz toys.

OMG BLEACH WALL SCROLL! That is exactly one of the things I'm looking to get rid of when I move. It's just rolled up in a corner now.

...At least it's not Naruto? XD

atm I'm considering getting something FFVII, but then, since I'm building a cosplay and Cloud's sword, I'll probably just hang that up on my wall when I'm done and call it my collectible.

The Hallmark itty bittys are pretty freaking cute. Maybe I like them better than the Funkos because they're plush? idk. Also their shapes are more rounded and less square.

I don't think I have any Naruto posters. And if I find one, that's going in the trash right away.

The itty bittys are sooooo cute. I have tons of them too because I keep buying them on sale. I got the Han Solo frozen in carbonite and Darth Vader on sale, then I had to buy the Princess Leia/Han Solo set because they're discontinuing it.

Last Christmas they did a special charity sale with these Christmas themed Star Wars ones. They're definitely more rounded than Funkos and are less in your face everywhere, obviously.

Cloud's sword would probably look great on a wall!

I have had to actually resist buying some of the Star Wars ones. They're so adorable.

I do have a small collection of Levis of various sizes - mostly gashapons. They are very tiny and adorable. My favorite is probably the supremely unimpressed Levi sitting on top of Mt. Fuji.

At home I used to have my medieval weapons nailed to the wall above my bed - it'll be nice to have a new sword to hang in my room!

My mom has a Hallmark Rewards card and she's always buying cards for some relative's graduation or birthday or wedding, so I end up with lots of coupon and she'll give them to me. I love that they have a Rey one!

I miss gashapons, I had so many random ones that have gotten lost over the years.

The medieval weapons sound amazing.

At least somebody is making SW merch with the female characters... I did see the other day one of those new Rebel Leia figurines, and she was super classy looking, but sadly pretty expensive. It makes me wonder about the target audience (then again, I was always a fan of articulated dolls, even as a kid. My favorite Barbie was the gymnast one).

Among my weapons are a crossbow, a morningstar flail, and a battleaxe. I am very pleased with them, even though none are actually battle worthy.
