Ok so... I like to buy figurines and plushies. I bought some stuff of Steve and Bucky years ago, but couldnt buy a lot of things of em before, because I relied on other people (local online shops) to get them. And Marvel wasnt that popular with the shops I knew.

The thing is... recently I have been able to buy stuff I like because Ive been buying by myself, secondhand for the most part (amiami sometimes has secondhand products, ebay and buyee are my go to places for this tho) and by chance I found someone that was apparently selling ALL their Hottoys, like a lot of them. And they had some of Steve I really wanted to own (The double Strike/Streets Clothes one in particular) and I bought them!!! I didnt pay for all of it because it was a partial gift (I paid for shipping/customs, but this is irrelevant).

And...

Just recently Hot Toys announced that they made a 2.0 of THAT particular figure (the Strike's outfit) and I was like "WHY THAT ONE? WHY NOT ANOTHER ONE?" "WHY, OH WHY???"

and idk, I think its kinda funny?

Ive been wanting that figure for almost 10 years and in the same year I can have it in my hands, they announce the 2.0 version... I feel like a clown kinda, lmao

They also teased a new 2.0 Winter Soldier figure (I actually want to buy that one :'> I can save for it if it also comes out in 2026)

#Ive literally bought like 3 nendoroids for 38 usd each in buyee (Mercari) and they were practically new.#So really... buying secondhand sometimes its really good for the wallet!#The HotToys I bought were on auction! But I was the only person to bid for them bc it was an almost 24 hours limit bid and I was lucky-#to not have competition. I bought them at the same price the auction began basically. So at a good price.#I could save to buy Steve's Hottoy too but idk? I really dont want to preoder it on amiami bc customs its going to kick my ass #And I dont know other websites where I could buy em were the custom price was added on the final price tbh #Also! I“have money” for this kinda stuff bc I literally dont buy much clothes or other stuff. I barely go out too. I cant go to the cinema-#or concerts or anything (Chronic migraines/pain) So I “save” that money for pretty plastic/plushies and books... lmao #Some people prefer to have experiences but I CANT so I want to have pretty things in my room #I can go out tho. Just... not really crowded/noisy/smelly/overwhelming places bc I literally die #Also I dont particularly like to eat out either so eh...#kinda personal. Im talking bout it bc I find it funny #Im not funny but stuff tends to happen to me that is funny??? Or I find entertaining #Like the time I fell of the stairs and couldnt stand up bc my backpack acted as a turtle's shell #Everyone was laughing and idk?#or the times I say something and Im immediately proven wrong #Like I have good/ bad timing or some shit. Depending on how you see it
