Madness!


So, In a short space of a few years, I've given up my G.I.Joe collecting hobby and amassed a great collection of Street Fighter Action figures by Sota. I'm not bluffing see this link:

I'd taken a hiatus on those and got into Marvel Legends, as well as brief spells into Transformers, Minimates, Microman and countless other collectibles. I went from Minimates to Lego and building my own City, to building structures for my Microman figures out of Lego.

I stopped buying things and sold off unwanted items, going back to Marvel Legends because I favoured their articulation, my continuous rotation of hobbies will probably infuriate people who talk to me, its almost a given that any hobby i take up i rarely finish, I'm not sure why I fall out of love for something so quickly, all i know is that when i do LOVE something and want it, I'll sell off anything in my collection bar my Sota Street Fighters to get whatever it is i'm obsessing over.

Is this crazy, madness? Call it whatever you will but for the short term my obsession is Minimates again, primarily the Street Fighter, DC and Marvel ones. I'm selling off Marvel Legends, Lego Sets, Transformers and various other toys on ebay to fund it.

I'll have some Minimate postings up at some point, I've just joined a new collectors hub called Life of Plastic, setup and owned by my friend Daniel Chan, you can check out his site and sign up here: http://lifeofplastic.com/

I hope everyone has a great collecting wk'end,
Rich
