Very Sincere Thread here..

Well my own side here My good Sir's and Ma'ams..
I dont really have much of a collection but one reason I collected is that because I do not have vices ( i dont drink, or smoke or party hard) its one way of releasing tension to the life I experienced right now, the life's challenges everyday. Toy collecting for me became an OUTLET for me, for me not to think Depression or other bad things. I know they are just plastic action figures. but sometimes, when you see that figure sometimes you get a little part of it that remind you of something that makes me somehow happy. I totally aggree with sir Tarquinus, im a registered nurse and i know part of it we regress on things because this are child toys.

im not a completionist, i only collect a few but main reason i collect part of it is to escape the world we are living with right now, problems and like that, some are highs some are lows.. we go into this point that sometimes, we need an outlet. and that for me is collecting figure because i wont hurt myself on drinking alcohol and just puked it out, or do drugs or smoke until i get a cancer on lungs.

Well, thats my part. Thanks for Sharing this kind of thread.. I really respect all of you.. and it was really nice seeing different views on life regarding collecting figures. Either it be toys or what not.

Im not ashamed of collecting action figures. There is nothing to be ashamed of cause we're not hurting anyone..

but remind you my good sir's and ma'ams, always remember Maslow's hierarchy of needs, Physiological needs come first. Always learn to prioritize.Iif collecting action figures lets you affect some other important things like it affects to your monthly bills, etc. so it will also be like a bad vices for us. As long as still you can pay your bills and you can support your family while collecting its ALL Good. =)

God Bless!
