Not to mention I will never be able to take pictures and have fun with every figure. As such, I'm try to cut back on only my favorite series/characters.

For X-Men, I don't care if I have multiple versions of the same X-Man, but for the most part my collection starts at Giant Sized X-Men and ends with Age of Apocalypse. Obviously, if I have to buy one to get a BAF, I will, but I've been very good about doing a ML purge a couple times a year even though I'm taking a big loss (I mean, I recently sold about 14 figures in one ebay lot for $60).

For Spider-Man, for the most part I'm trying to stick with classic versions of characters, but since Spider-Man is my favorite super hero, I'm pretty much all in for anything Spider-Man related. The only Spider-Men themselves I have gotten rid of was the House of M Spidey and the one from the Raft box set. Of course, I'll be getting rid of more now that we have an entirely new body for them to rerelease everyone in, especially Ben Reily, 2099, and Black Symbiote. Though, I'm still debating if I really want the Ben Reillys anymore since the Clone Saga was atrocious when I read it last year. Granted, I still have the Ben Reily run to read, but I'm not sure I care enough about the character to... well... care.

Now for the rest of the Marvel universe, I'm collecting stuff related to Captain America, Doctor Strange, Fantastic Four, Ghost Rider, Black Widow, and DareDevil. Anyone else really depends on how much I like the characters such ase the Guardians of the Galaxy. I have the 5 pack because I love the characters enough in the movies. Thanos is my favorite Marvel villain, so of course I've got him. Plus, he's fought Silver Surfer.

I do have Dark Hawk, Night Thrasher, and Death's Head II because I grew up with those characters, so they're kind of nostalgia induced. Granted, I do always wonder if I truly care about them in my collection, which is why Night Thrasher is currently sitting in my bin since I don't have room for him on the shelf.
