Yeah it is quite expensive, if you are as passionate as me 😀
Hmm I don’t really see a problem with displaying her, a long as you don’t live in a one room apartment.
Sure my family acted a bit curious as my first plastic lady arrived, but they got used to it soon.

As a person who doesn’t collect a lot of figures I always wondered how much a figure-collector spends monthly or yearly. It really is one heck of an expensive hobby.

I want to buy the Sansei Muramasa figure so much, but I currently live with my family so I won’t be able to display it! What’s a man to do >_<

You haven’t bought her, thats too bad. I also thought about completing the 2 figure set, but I never completed a set.
Kobato looks very good with her pretty face, but she can’t really compete with Maria’s cuteness.
It’s ok for young anime girls to be sexy, Kobato is pretty ^^

Oh too bad, you could have easily beaten my expenses I assume. Running out of space is a ever present problem.
I will try to sell a few more figures to be able to get the figures I want this year ^^

I still kind of want the Kobato figure that goes with Maria; I don’t have a Kobato yet and though the catgirl outfit isn’t my favorite, I don’t think there will ever be a sexier figure of her. Though maybe it’s wrong to think of a girl as young-looking as her as sexy.

I’m trying not to think about how much I spent on hobby goods (and related stuff, like cameras) in 2012, though I do think I will cut back, at least a little bit, less so because I need to save money and more so because I just don’t have enough space now. I think this may also be the year I start pawning stuff off, so the financial impact should be a little less for me this year than it has been.

Ahaha, but yeah it were a number of lovely figures that I’ve purchased in 2012.
Yes I can imagine, that this can change at some point, but it’s nice that you still buy a few of these cute things 🙂
thx for your comment Xine

In reply to Nopy.

I thought so, looking back at the own expenses can be interesting for oneself and other collectors/readers.
Well I already had written down each order in an excel sheet and just summed up the numbers for this post.
Oh you’ve spent 2000€ on nendoroid, were so many even released in 2012 :p ?

Oh wow! Nice list of 2012 figures. I just got a few nendoroids and a couple of other figs last year. Priorities have changed so I guess there’ll be less and less figures for me in the years to come.

Interesting post. I’d like to make one of these, but it’d take too much work to gather all of my figure transactions and put them in a chart. I think for 2012 I spent about $2000, mostly on nendoroids.
