DONT DO this Anime Figure Collecting mistake!
me, who never gets sick of anything: there is an upside to this and it's being able to buy the merch you love secondhand when the seasonal crowd moves on

If you have those "anime garage sales" communities will sometimes put on, you can very easily amass collections of out-of-print manga or figures of seasonal waifus from 2009

I have a ton of figures lmao

tbh i actually go by this rule with figures too, albeit specifically as

octopunk
"do i not only still care about this character, but have i also actively rped as them"

octopunk
hence why most of my figures, with some exceptions, are characters i have played in the rp community lol

what does he say not to do?

preorder a figure unless you're sure you'll still love the character when it comes out

like if you get attached to a seasonal waifu and forget about her 3 months down the line

oh yeah I don't get into the seasonal waifu machine anyways

I mean I might get a Bocchi thing but I know I will enjoy perceiving a Bocchi for a long time

highfive for being attached to the same characters for ages

I did luck into finally watching ZZ Gundam and then getting to preorder a figure the right amount of time after to be sure I'd like it
