The Rant Board

To be honest, I’ve pretty much quit collecting anime figures, except for whatever figure comes in The Otaku Box each month or the occasional rare must have. I’m gonna be much more picky when it comes to figures as I got way to many, many of which is “meh” to me.

My biggest addiction right now is a toss up between manga and Nendoroid figures. At least they have a smaller footprint overall.

Nothing wrong with being selective, Also comes down to space required and what is available

I only have like 6 figures but that’s just because I am super picky and cheap

I don’t have space anymore to put anything else since I bought a shelf and fill it with the christmas present I couldn’t open until now

…I still have 3 figurines in limbo, two of which I’ve recently paid the balance on. If this ruins things, I’m gonna throw hands.

That is where our Otaku Boxes ship from!

I also got one figure still pre-ordered from E2046!

This has already been reversed due to immediate consumer backlash.

Oh thank goodness, I understand tariffs on raw goods, or even mass shipped goods, but retail purchases is dumb.

I just finished watching Tokyo gore police and it was a movie the story was simple but works for the movie since it seems like a movie made about a cool or interesting concept that needed a simple story to push the movie along I rate it a 3.5

You can always sell a figure if you are in need of cash, can’t do that with something you consumed.

Who uses catalogs in 2025 anyway? Don’t they have a website? I wouldn’t pay money for junk mail.

“Give us money so we can send you a book to order stuff out of like it’s the 19th century instead of us creating a website for that very purpose like a proper business would”

“We offer specials in our catalog not available online.”

Yeah, not $10 worth I’ll wager. Hard pass.
