It was said a bit early up, but I really like have a physical representation of my favorite characters. For me it starts with Iron Man first and foremost. I have every Iron Man Marvel Legend except the 2 series 1 variants and the face-off War Machine Variant. In the movie line I collected the armors that appeared on screen, as well as Titanium Man (he was too cool to pass up). I think what makes me collect though, is seeing an awesome moment, whether it's on screen or on the page, and wanted to recreate it. I'm not in it because I think they'll be worth something one day, I simply just want to have my favorite characters on my shelves. I've taken every action figure I've bought out of the box except for 1. That's an action figure from the 90s Iron Man cartoon that I found in a comic shop one day. It was the first Iron Man figure I ever had when I was younger that had been given away when I grew out of playing with toys.. Then I got back into it again years later. The only reason why I keep him in the box is because he's not too posable and he's not in scale with my other figures.

In terms of customs.. I never made one, but I'm gonna give it a shot over the summer for the first time, with two customs I think would be fairly easy to do. I always appreciated a good custom action figure and found it interesting.
