Anyone collects statues or action figures?
If so, what kind of statues / actions figures do you have?

I used to buy action figures all the time. When I ended off my purchasing binges I was heavy into the Play Arts line - a lot of Final Fantasy figures currently litter my apartment. The last one I got was Naked Snake / Big Boss from Metal Gear Solid 3. He has his gun pointed at me right now, in fact.
I tend to use my money more for, like, food and groceries these days, so action figure buying has dropped in my household. My wife and I usually relegate ourselves to Funko Pops, if anything - they're inexpensive, easy to clean, and small enough that you can jam a lot of them onto a shelf. Ice King, Gunter, and two of the Doctors are on a shelf within view of my computer, and there are plenty more spread around the apartment.

Hell yeah my man, I collect Dragon Ball Z related figures. Over 100 figures by now :)
I also collect these retro figures called U.B.Funkeys that kind of work like Skylanders.

You bet I will :) I've got some imaginative (but sadly low quality) photos of my Aerith. I'll post them here later.
I'll make sure to take some cool photos of Saturn too!
Oh, and I just remember that I have a small (like 4-5 pieces) collection of Rei Ayanami figures. It consists of 3 gashapon/trading figures and two bigger ones (though still nothing fancy). I need more of her figures, though they're super pricey.

That's the funny thing - nowadays many collector face the most difficult question - can I unbox my new toy, or should I leave it alone?
The thing is, old Barbies and figures are worth so much because back then they were considered purely toys, there was no collector culture, so not many of them are still around - especially MIB (mint in box)! Nowadays so many people collect that it's hard for me to believe that currently produced stuff will be worth as much as vintage Barbies. I still keep my MIB, though - they look so much better like this :) I unbox action figures, though - what's the fun in leaving them boxed?
