For example, I just picked up a Boba Fett because I've wanted one of him for years, but I don't really plan on getting back into Star Wars stuff in general. It was the same thing when I got Animated Blurr, as I didn't really care about others for the most part. I just gained a liking for that figure, so I bought it when I found a great deal online. Similarly speaking, I'm gonna be looking for a WWF/WWE figure of Kane soon, and again, don't really care to get anyone else, even though I'm a big wrestling fan (and probably will continue to be for the rest of my life). I guess they'll be joining characters like Hexadecimal (Reboot), Armon (Mummies Alive) & Knightquest Batman (Legends of Batman) that've always been among my favorites, but that I didn't really care to expand into as far as I have into Transformers.

Also (which is kinda the question that prompted my interest to make this topic), how did it impact your interest in whatever your main line or hobby is? Did it simply exist as a couple of special case wants (sort of like wanting a unique figure within the same fandom), or did it seem like a sign/lead to an overall collecting conclusion of sorts?

iv always bought what i liked,and really never got into the whole line collecting thing,my collection is more driven by characters,and the weird/wonderful figures i find scouring toy fairs/ebay/peoples B/S/T lists, thats why Admiral Ackbar brings death from above,Frankenstein and Mr Wink hit em head on,and eXtra force cause havoc behind enemy lines......
