You have favorite characters, that's an awesome start. Check out your local comic shops, collectible store, or big box retailer. Before you find the limit you're willing to reach whether it be your wallet or your time (believe in the hunt over just resorting to eBay), you'll know what you want right away.

There are superior toy brands, usually import brands will do justice in putting out truly awesome figures, but that doesn't mean you won't be drawn to bendy wire dashboard novelties. Keep an open mind.

If you want to acclimate yourself to specific brands or a line of figures there are plenty of toy reviewers putting in the footwork for you so search them out. Familiarize yourself to what you may or may not want to put down some serious coin on if it's a hard to get item (this is specifically referencing buying complete sets of figures all at once to ensure you get a figure you really want).

But take a moment out of your day and just pop in to one of your local stores to get an idea of what's at your disposal. Figure collecting is a pretty common hobby with a wide age gap of collectors so don't let anyone deter you from walking down that aisle at the store...you're there for the same thing anyway.

Thanks! I'll check out my local comic book shop and look at some toy reviews to see what sets I would like. One set I've been eyeing is the new Marvel Legends X-Men wave.
