Marvel is my #1. I love reading pretty much everything, and tough it out if I don't. I try to keep my collection divided by categories. Villains/Teams. I am a sucker for completing up to date teams and costumes, if I don't have it, I go crazy lol.
Dc is my #2. I am not to fussy on costumes, but depending on the character, I might need a team. Example: I only have 2 metal men, and as cool are they are, they aren't a must have, but I buy in the hopes of completing the team. The team as a whole is a must have for my collection. But with a character like Black Adam, I can easily just have him because, hey, it's Black Adam!
As for gimmicks, I try to avoid figures that has a gimmick that effects the articulation or the figure itself in any way. If it comes with a gimmicky weapon that I can toss aside, I am ok with it. However, if it was a Chuck Norris figure with a round house kick gimmick, that is TOTALLY different!
Last and final reason, is memories.
I feel as humans, if we lose touch with the child inside of us, we aren't really free and alive, just drones.
Action figures helps me keep in touch with my childhood and memories I keep close to my heart [like my grandfather playing with my G.I Joes as an 75 year old man and putting them in dirty sex positions LOL.] I collect toy lines too just off of good memories, like Star Wars, Gi Joe, and soon to be DBZ Figuarts.
A very interesting comment, I think I just grew to respect you even more dude.
