I had a huge burst of collecting and within 6 months just became no longer interested In that time I bought a NAG 75K Castle SE (Sold it) Nightowl Creep (Sold it) Warlock (Sold it) a Sinister Studios Obsession(trying to sell it) FFS SPECTRE (Waiting on it to arrive and Im gonna sell it) along with a few Friday the 13th hocks Im gonna sell as well. It was weird. I was widly obsessed with it for a few months then…it just died
I totally feel this. I’ve struggled with the “why” for so long. At some point, you just have to accept ‘this is who I am and this is what I’m about.’ Maybe take a break, put interest in some other hobbies, then come back with a healthier disposition?
I started mid January with 1 mask. I now have 14, 4 figures, 12 shirts with 3 hoodies and a 3 piece canvas wall art piece on its way, both evolition of evil and the night he came home sets new in box in the mail, a full sized Myers mannequin, and 4 Neca products on preorder and the 78 tots on preorder all within less than a 2 month span. The credit cards have been busy lol
I’m not a collector but love the movies which is why I visit this site. But I really enjoy seeing the collections that ya’ll have. I do wonder though what people say when they come over to your homes and see masks of killers on display in your living rooms/office. Are they like, “I think I left something in my car. BRB.” Or do they like them or do you prepare them ahead of time? I think they are awesome but I’m curious how non-horror people respond.
I’ve got (7? 8?) Shins, so he’s a favorite, that’s the poster in my office too… the SHM Shin is a great figure, but I’ve got the Bandai vinyls and the Neca too, plus the Sega Statue.
(look to the left and you can see the Kirk I molded this past weekend. I’m hoping to get the first pull out of the new mold this coming weekend! Been a very long project that started in September.)
It’s hard to pick an all time favorite Godzilla. I like the original 1954 and a couple of the Showa era suits. I like the 2000 (big purple spines), and the 2001 (GMK with the white demonic eyes),… I like ‘Burning Godzilla’,…the 2014 design is good but I think the new 2019 design is way better. Bigger feet and back spines make a huge difference in making him look more like Godzilla.
I guess I like them all, probably why I have a hard time with collecting Godzilla stuff. I have all these figures, plus a bunch of T-shirts, like 8 full size framed movie posters all over the house. He’s definitely my favorite Monster.
