Introductions

Hi, my name is Adam and I love anime figures.  I bought my first figure (Yamato’s 1/8 Motoko Aoyama from Love Hina) back in 2005 and I’ve been slowly expanding my collection ever since.  With figure collecting becoming an increasingly important hobby to me, I decided to start this blog to help me track figure releases that I’m interested in and hopefully share some insights like where to buy and how to save money when shopping for figures.
