I don't think it is much of a leap of faith to guess that *most* action figure collectors fall somewhere on the danger zone side of the OCD spectrum, with true hoarding at the extreme end of the spectrum.

I'm not saying that every collector is OCD, but I am sure there is a distinct OCD spike among the AF collector community vs. the general population. Assembling/building a collection truly is an uncontrollable impulse for many collectors.

I will wait and see how it is portrayed, but if the professionals on the show convince people to sell certain peripheral parts of their collections to better display their principle interests, reduce clutter, and save a strained relationship, then I can't believe I'd be against it.

If they make all collectors out to be people with serious mental problems, then they will definitely have gone too far. I know I could stand to better organize some of my collection, especially considering how frequently I move. :/

There are some comic book stores I frequent that definitely wouldn't pass a fire code inspection. I can only imagine some people's clutter problems behind closed doors.
