      Yes! Cleaning your figures is much simpler than people realize

      And make sure they don’t see too much UV light

    4:14 That's some good advice! I usually look at either the comments/reviews or even an unboxing video before I decide on a figure.
    Myth 1: Sometimes I'll go out to get an over $200 Scale Figure, but most of my collection are Pop-up Parades & Prize Figures.
    Myth 3: I displayed my figures in both glass cabinets & a shelf above them. And since I have 3 dogs (& probably a wild nephew in a few years), I keep the cabinets shut.
    Myth 4: I think is BS because it's your collection! If a set has a character that doesn't interest you or dislike, then just buy the characters you like!

    Your collection is YOUR collection! Do collect what you like, however you like.^^
    I for myself am very limited to space and money, so I mostly collect prize figures. But I really must say they're gone up in quality over the last years! 💖

    I started off with brands like Banpresto , SEGA , BiCute & Popup Parade. FYI I'm from Asia so it is affordable for these brands. Not sure how the west market works. Thanks for clarifying that as long as you like it just buy it. No point on following trend on what to buy and ending up you don't like it.

      Thanks for sharing!! Those are all mostly affordable in the US as well. Some Nendoroids go up in the aftermarket, but it depends on which one

    Don't know where those myths came from but clearly they're all BS. It's your hobby, its supposed to make you happy, who cares what's popular or what others think you should do so that your hobby is "valid" to them? The only mention worthy ones would be to look up if they figure / quality is worth the price tag and cleaning them if not stored, dust and UV light deteriorate figures

    • @TheFigureFrontier
      @TheFigureFrontier  2 หลายเดือนก่อน

      I think the hobby has grown significantly in recent years and with that, opinions from strangers on the internet. It's easy to say "don't care about peer pressure or get caught up in hype" but sometimes actually doing it is difficult
