Tips for figure collectors:

Don't be a completionist. It will drain the fun out of your hobby. You will be forced to look at expensive figures that you don't even like, just because they happen to be part of a set

Buy figures because you actually like them. Buy them because you like looking at them, because they're fun to display, and because they bring you joy

When you get the urge to buy, don't immediately give in. Try spending some time maintaining the figures you already have. Fix their hair, if the have any, dust them off, and rearrange them

Don't buy the figure you want first chance you get. They always get relisted eventually. Take note of the prices and wait until there's a decent offer up. If you just buy it first chance you get, you may scam yourself out of a lot of money

Supply and demand affect prices, but "rarity" is a useless term used to price gouge

Never use figures as an investment. Figure markets are volatile as hell, and you're likely to just lose money on it

Rinse your figures if you get them used. Just give them a quick scrub in soapy water. You have no idea where they've been

Please please please dust off your figures every once in a while, even if you keep them in a cabinet. It's better to dust them off regularly than allow the dust to cement itself onto their surface

A NIB figure is not a maintenance-free figure. Please inspect the box regularly, check that the figure isn't suffering from plasticizer leakage, water damage, bugs, dried-up rubber bands, or any other pests. If possible, remove the figure from its packaging and inspect it every once in a while.

Make the hobby your own. If you want to customize a rare figure or remove a it from its box, do it. Even if other collectors tell you not to do it. Especially if other collectors tell you not to do it. This is YOUR hobby and YOUR collection!

I'm repainting my Schleich dinosaurs because I'm starting to collect the Papo figures and they both look weird together. I have to say that Schleich with a good paint job look pretty good.

(Tiny 5.5 inch) Smudge Fox from Jellycats. And a Schleich River otter.

I strapped my fish hook bracelet on Fink while I went for a swim. Not sure how the brass and leather would react to chlorinated water so I’m playing it safe. Fink looks good in it so he’s still wearing it.
