Greetings fellow viewers and collectors. Today i will tell you guys some tips and tricks on collecting action figures.Many of you might thinks that collecting figures are childish well, you are wrong. Collecting figures is not childish since it's a hobby and there is no childish on hobby as long it didn't bothers other people.( Actually it's an exciting hobby ).
In order to collect figures there are some things you should know first, if you didn't know that you will waste many money.
1st. Know What You Want !
You couldn't go anywhere if you didn't know your location right ? Well that's also work on collecting too ! You should what you will collect first. As a collector i usually collect Star Wars, Marvel, and DC comics figure. Other than that you also should know what scale are you looking for. The most common scales are 3.75 inch and 6 inch. But there are still other scales such as 2 inch ( usually minifigures like lego), 5 inch ( Probably 80-90's toys ), and 12 inch figure ( these figures are pretty big but most of them usually only have 5 points of articulation ).
2nd Hunts For Figures and Deals !
Well for starters you should try to take a trip to each mall/stores that might sells the figure you are looking for or you could go online and try browse for them. If you found the figure you wanted, don't instantly buy it. 1 rule you should know as a collector "Try to get the best deal" That's why you'll have to be patience as a collector. If you think you could get figure for like 5$ than just wait or keep hunting for the best deal ( Just wait until it gets to clearance section ). You also can join a community there you could do trades which is a fun thing to do !
3rd Loose or Mint
You also have to know how to display your figures. Do you want them to stay mint in their box are just get them out and pose them. Well in my opinion i prefer to get them out of the box since the toys won't be fun if they are still in their box. But sometimes i just let some of them to be mint in box . For examples : vintage figures, diecasts, exclusives figure, Etc. If you get your figure out of the box it actually gonna be much more fun, do you know why ? Well first you could pose them in every pose you want and nobody is going to give you a limit for it. 2nd It will look much cooler since you could pose them and put them on a shelf rather then let them stay in box.
4th Enjoy it !!!
From all the hobbies i know if you didn't enjoy it the hobby would be useless. So in order to collect figures also have to enjoy the process of hunting and buying them.Also if you actually collect something that you didn't like then just stop ! I'm serious if you force yourself todo it you'll probably end up get bored and regret doing it.
Well that's all i could say for now and as always good hunting !!!
