And So It Began....

The day is Tues May 15 2007, a week before my 21st birthday. I've been wanting to create a blog for a while now, but never knew where to begin. I went to Google and typed in "How to make a Blog"....and there it was, the answer: 'Blogger: Create Your Blog Now!' So, I'm pretty excited to get this ball rolling.


On the whole I'll probably be talking about comics, anime, FIGURES, video games, tech gadgets, and other stuff. My main passion is collecting figures. The areas of interest like comics and anime have all been because of figures I've found based on their respective titles. Growing up I played with actions figures, and for some reason my love for the toy grew to an obsession. I've been collecting Toybiz's Marvel Legends for a while...what an amazing line. Hasbro has taken the mantle, and well...I'll leave that to another post. I have tons of DC Direct figures, along with anything Tomb Raider related.

I just recently, about 3 months ago, got into anime and all of its wonder. My hobbies of interest seem to be climbing in expense. Comics are cheap compared to a $26.99 Anime DVD full of only 4 episodes. Sheesh. I'm new to the game, but loving every minute of it. My newest love is the PVC figure. The moment I watched my first anime, Cowboy Bebop WOOT!, I was determined to find a Spike figure. After that, it was over. I've been spending money over fist for these little beauties. Actually, now that I think about it the figures that started it all for me were those old Disney PVC figures you'd get at the Disney Store or Disneyland. Its funny how things come full circle. The Anime PVC figures are way more expensive than the $8.99 Marvel Legends fig, but boy oh boy what a difference in quality. I remember complaining when they raised the price for a ML fig from $7.99 to $8.99, and here I am spending well over $50 for most PVC treasures. Anyway, I'm planning on uploading pictures of my own collection of figures, figures I want to buy (but probably don't have the money for), and anything else that looks cool.
