What else do you collect?

Post by Jason Park »

So, what anime related things do you buy except cels and other forms of production arts?

For me, before starting to collect cels, I was collecting anime DVDs. However, I sold most of them, except my top favourites. I will still collect DVDs, but only ones that really interest me. Collecting both DVDs and cels is really killing my wallet. >.< I also want to buy models (especially Gundams), but I just don't have the money yet... :(

I used to collect HK DVD's when those series were not available in the US yet. Thank goodness the companies are starting to bring anime over here alot faster.

I also used to collect DBZ action figures but turned my interests to DBZ cels and I'm now selling off my action figure collection. I still collect cute anime plushies/ufo catchers, the occasional resin kit for assembly and painting (very rarely though).

I'm an avid game collector though! Almost as bad as cel collecting, lol. I have many games (mainly rpg's) for the ps1, ps2, and gamecube. Still have my N64 with tons of games. Funny thing is, most games are still factory sealed and only about 10% have been played. :P

Totally unrelated to anime, I collect some Mexican art, especially Day of the Dead items and painted tin. We also have a small but nice Oaxacan wood carving collection. We have a small japanese toy collection- mostly Hello Kitty and assorted UFO catchers, including my prize Tonde Buurin toys. Recently my daughter has become interested in gashapons, so they are likely future presents since they take so little room. (Don't tell her, but I bought her some Naruto ones yesterday for her birthday!)

I used to collect UFO catcher plushies lol and any piece of merchandise I could find that had even the slightest bit of my favourite characters on it. And now, inspired by the plushies and all of the craftwork, etc, I've gotten into plush-making and just sewing really. ^_^ Which is great because I love making gaara plushies and plushies of and for my friends. yup, I design plush to look like chibified versions of friends too! XD Lol I have way too much time on my hands.

Other anime-related things I collect include DVDs, some manga and other merchandise from my fave shows such as Akira, JoJo's Adventure and other Kawajiri creations (Cyber City, Bloodlust, Ninja Scroll).

I think I've got the biggest Akira collection in the world. All sorts of books & magazines in various languages, doujinshi, T-shirts, Posters, DVDs/videos, CDs, cards, toys, calendar, badges, and rare promo items too- photos, press reports, film 'stats' used to make a book...

I used to collect hockey cards with Keith Tkachuk on them. (still have them too!) :P
And I'm getting each of the 50 State Quarters.
I guess you could say I collect eyepieces for my telescopes.
And glass for stained glass. I've got a ton of that.

But mostly I just collect strange looks.

I collect sealed videogames...rare's, exclusives, imports, that kinda stuff...

You'd think that something they make 100,000+ copies of would be cheap, but no...
