Video Game Figure Collecting

[Doomsday519]

I'm a big collector. I collect all sorts of action figures from wrestling to Transformers to Tokusatsu to comic book and more. Collecting physical media from VHS tapes, to DVD/Blu-rays, to video games. But the topic at hand here is video game figure collecting. Over the years I've picked up action figures & statues of video games and characters from online to thrift stores to mom and pop toy spots to flea markets to popular chains. It's part of what I do to occupy my time and it's been really satisfying to see it grow. Below is some of what I have(and fun fact, I share a birthday with Skullomania so the Storm Collectibles of him was a must to get this year ):

Would love to see what others are willing to share. I have a good amount more and though I don't play the game I have a big collection of the 3 inch Fortnite figures I end up finding at thrift stores.

Off my mind I remember I had bought: a Final Fantasy Cactuar plushe, a t-shirt with Okami, an Animal Crossing amiibo when I found it really cheap at Gamestop. Only left item regarding gaming I have now is the artbook of "Knights in the Nightmare", I treasure it :)
This for collection about videogame subject; outside that, I have many books, but not really a "collection", more like "buying, reading, putting them in the shelf, and one day you see how many you have".

Sou um grande colecionador. Coleciono todos os tipos de figuras de ação, desde luta livre e Transformers até Tokusatsu, quadrinhos e muito mais. Coleciono mídias físicas, de fitas VHS a DVDs/Blu-rays e videogames. Mas o assunto aqui é colecionar figuras de videogames. Ao longo dos anos, adquiri figuras de ação e estátuas de videogames e personagens, desde lojas online e brechós até pequenas lojas de brinquedos, feiras de antiguidades e grandes redes. É parte do que faço para ocupar meu tempo e tem sido muito gratificante ver minha coleção crescer. Abaixo está um pouco do que eu tenho (e uma curiosidade: faço aniversário no mesmo dia que o Skullomania, então a figura da Storm Collectibles dele era uma compra obrigatória este ano ):

Adoraria ver o que os outros estão dispostos a compartilhar. Eu tenho muito mais, e embora eu não jogue o jogo, tenho uma grande coleção de bonecos de 7,5 cm do Fortnite que acabo encontrando em brechós.

EUI'm also a lover of physical media, but I only own bootleg DVDs.

Imagine a game with all these characters.

Do Amiibos count

Imagine a game with all these characters.

Smash Bros. is about as close are we're going to get to that. IP licensing is more about profit than fun. I heard of Microsoft denying the secret level team from releasing a doom guy vs Halo master chief short, which is odd as they're both owned by Microsoft. I'd hazard a guess it's a non-compete issue as paramount did the live action Halo and would be counted visual media. Secret level had some great shorts. Shame.

As for collectibles, I collect things but I am more so going for "curated" in that I don't have much, as I don't have the room to collect all that much and beyond that I'd feel like I'm hoarding. I do love what I have though and can't part with any of it.

I can imagine though for some, that it's either an issue with room and many collectibles are quite expensive.

I am currently trying to upgrade my favourite movies and a handful of others to 4k, though my collection is small, it's not a cheap endeavour, even if 4k movies are easily half the price the were for a while or less, outside of steel book releases.

oh in general my collection is curated. I just happen to have more room than a decent amount of folks.

My hunt for collectibles has always hinged on price as much as desire for the specific thing. That's why thrifting is so important to me. I find cheap 4K of my faves in the wild or on GRUV when I can.

Part of my philosophy when it comes to collecting is to look for specific things but NEVER break the bank over them.

My friend has a pretty nice collection of Amiibos.

To be honest, I'm fairly certain I actually use them more..

nice that your friend let's you use them. I only have two myself and it's cuz I found them by chance at the thrift store. A Shiek and a Ness. Never played a game using Amiibos but always respected the concept. That and Skylanders which I also have a few of those as well.
