Honestly man, if u can afford a Hot Toys Spiderman figure and your like 14, your doing better financially then a lot of us lol. I wouldn't be hasty and get rid of all your minimates as they can be valuable, plus you spent the time and $$ collecting them. When I was a kid/teen I had tons of people tell me toys are for kids and to sell them/get rid of them. Sadly I listened to ppl and got rid of some rare/awesome toys for reasons that weren't truely my own. Collect what you want, what you like and what you can afford. Don't feel the need to buy stuff to impress others or make others happy, if you have a job/allowance you're working hard for your $$ so make sure you spend it wisely on items you like. Pick Characters you like, you mentioned metal gear solid, check out the old mcfarlane figures, or the new playarts figures. etc, buy what you want and what you like, I will give the advice of trying to focus your collection, on a specific character, line,wave, or genre to help narrow down your focus and keep you from overspending. When you try to collect them all, you not only will end up poor but crazy trying to acquire them all.
