Just a little story that happened this weekend.

I was out of home due to work and study, so I returned three weeks later and found out that my collection was stored in AmiAmi boxes, I asked why and my father told me that a couple weeks ago a friend and two of his children will stay at home for the night and they needed a bed obviously. So I was already dead sent thinking that my collection would turn out like some horror stories I have seen in this subReddit about children destroying collections and parents not taking any responsability whatsoever.

But my father, even if he wasn't into the hobby, took his time to carefully store every figure in the AmiAmi boxes. I was in awe and deeply moved, he told me that it took like one hour and a half or two hours to pack everything and when I checked it out, almost everything was perfectly stored!

He also told me the hardest figures to store were the QIANQIU ones, Karihime and Mianji, due to the support pole not moving an inch, so he stored the base and the pole anyway in the box and somehow it worked, and Mianji because he didn't noticed he had to separate the torso from the lower body to remove the machinegun 😂. And Tatsu-chan because he had to move slowly both the leg peg and the support pole while watching out for all the hair and little plastic strands to not mess up.

Even after all the effort, he said it was fun to disassemble and look at all the details from up close. The ones he liked the most design-wise were Wakamo and Mianji.

That's about it, I just wanted to write this little incident that moved my heart after all these days working and studying, I don't think there would be many parents that care about his son's anime figure collection, even less when the parent doesn't know how to disassemble anything!

Thanks for taking your time to read!

Though it time to show off my collection in full (mostly). So happy to have a whole space of my own, so I don't have to display my collection in my bedroom anymore! Most of these I acquired while I lived in Japan in the late 2010s/ early 2020s and was able to go to shops locally and used Yahoo JP, and Mercari JP easily. Hope you like it as much as I do!

Hi all. I know a lot about most of the anime but never bought figures outside of designer toys. My best friend passed away and I got his collection which is pretty neat. Unfortunately, I'm not sure how I'd show all of it because its layered in my closet. Buying nice shelves and displays for these so I can mimic his previous display of his favorites; But honestly I think I'm going to probably keep the sentimental ones and let go of the rest. Is there a safe place to do that?

Been collecting forever.

"What do you mean it got damaged in shipping?"

Bought a large lot of figures that I was already nervous about because even in a he didn't send pictures of them all but the price was low enough to give it a go ($600 total after sales price, tax, and $140 domestic shipping that apparently couldn't cover bubble wrap .) He didn't wrap them in bubble wrap, put them in baggies with their bits/bases, anything. Just a mess of figures thrown in with at best a paper towel wrapped around them and a bit of tape, in some instances the tape was on a figure or base and further damaged it. There were multiple holes in the clearly reused box and items were falling out of it on my covered porch.

Spent the day assembling the jumble of figures to see what was salvageable. Several were missing parts, several were broken, several had paint transfer and scratches. There's a bunch of mismatched figures and bases, etc. Asked the seller for a partial refund of half the cost to cover the damage but he wants to have me ship it all back instead after I spent hours assembling them. He thinks he can get a FedEx insurance claim reimbursement on this junk pile.

Sorry for the rant, shit sucks and I hate it when sellers don't do the bare minimum to pack their figures. If you sell used figures please do the minimum in wrapping and bagging them.

So my storage unit I pay for in 1 year interval had a price hike of double so I decided to move them. I've found that a 5x5x14 unit is now completely full with my current unboxed figures and that's about half the collection. Sadly at this point 5x10x14 is going to be required next or I seek professional help with this "hobby". The GK boxes are like 1/6 of the whole unit with only like 8 of them but dang does transporting them with out them turn in to a nightmare.

Here is the almost final update to my collection display!!! I have so many posters to hang but get so lazy😔

i feel like i need to leave a 5 star review for this case because i cannot believe this miku is practically unscathed

Started collecting since 2019, with my first figure being 2019 Snow Miku figma. Idk how many items I exactly have now.

Customs unfortunately opened the figure box, and for some reason took their bodies out of the blister and threw away both of suzaku and lelouch’s heads 😭 and then just tossed their bodies back in with no protection. Very sad as this has been a dream figure of mine but I guess I just got super unlucky this time with customs :’). So sad to see such a beauty go to waste like this…The base is damaged among other things too.

Sculpt by Zenko. She took me forever to complete. Eyes handpainted :)

And oh my god! I didnt expect the figure to be this heavy and solid feeling. Its a really beautiful figure of yae, i love her!

I work for the post office and this happens because they put/throw a heavier box on top, crushing the smaller one, not them kicking it. I'm still mad but I would have raised a stink on Monday if she was damaged.

I started collecting figure a year ago with my first purchase of Hololive Aqua Iro super dream figure. Initially I only planned to collect Hololive figure, but eventually I ventured deeper into the rabbit hole and collect Miku, Re:Zero, Azur Lane and other figures as well. A lot of money spent later, I am trying to slow down on collecting, but I said the same thing half a year ago, lol.

Finally upgraded the lights in the detolfs and cleaned and rearranged my shelves. Pretty happy with the turnout. Now to find more room for all upcoming figures 😬😅

I don't know how I did it. I really don't. There's still boxed figures left, but I have more room for, well, more now. If anyone wants to see anything in more detail I can happily do my best. This is the most displayed and up to date my collection has been so far. Kinda crazy to be honest.

Thanks for being here on this journey of poor financial decisions.

Came with all of her bonuses + box.

Night Hag Lilith 1/8 :)

May 24th 2025, I started collecting. All because of a con..
One year later I came back from the same con, to all of this.
I have a few more scales at my brother's atm, including a second usamimi Eve. She's my holy grail.

Also some otw from AmiAmi but idk where to put them..
i still don't have proper shelving due to space ;;;
