After or Before Watching it ? Hi guys....i am curious to know whether you pick up a fig after you have watch the show, read the book or you watch the show after you pick up the fig.
As for me I started with star wars but at that time I cant afford fig or rather not into figure yet. But going forward I do pick up fig that i like the sculpt and style before i go watch the show...eg patlabor, kerberos. But mostly i pick up the fig after watching the show...
Re: After or Before Watching it ? I usually wont pick up a figure unless it's from a movie/cartoon/book/game/etc. that I really like, but picking up the figure from a property usually makes me dig a little deeper. For example, I had only ever seen Jin Roh, but after I got my Takara Kerberos I went out and bought the box set of the live action movies, so there's situations like that...
Re: After or Before Watching it ? Kaido - you seems to be split in the middle. I was once like that when i started 6" but then one day i asked myself what am I doing as I have quite some figs. Then I decided to focus or some people call it streamline. My main is SW. The rest if only I really like it..meaning asking myself to think thrice Moving then to 12" in a way helps me do that becoz its just too costly to grab everything I fancy...
Drac- I know wat you mean. I got Jin roh too without even seeing the show. I am still trying to look for the show but unable to find it locally..
Re: After or Before Watching it ? i only collect figs from movies i love. or characters i love from not so great movies. if that makes sense. i completely understand getting a fig just coz it looks cool though. that's a true figure collector. i'm just getting 12" stuff to decorate the walls of my eventual cinema room. but i'm glad i'm focusing, otherwise i'd be in serious serious debt.
