First off apologies if there is a topic like this, delete/merge as appropriate.
Onto the subject:
A post in another thread got me wondering why people collect the figures they do and not others.
In a time where prices are rising and income is staying the same it's difficult for people to collect everything (unless they are very fortunate). When I first started this hobby a few years ago I intended to get all the Marvel Hot Toys that they released. It came to the release of Whiplash where I decided not to buy all the figures and instead focus on my collection on a movie basis.
I wanted to represent the movies/series in the best way. This has led me to have the following collection:
Iron Man - Mark 1 (2.0)
Iron Man 2 - Iron Man Mark IV, War Machine, (Black Widow now sold)
Thor - Thor and Odin
Captain America: The First Avenger: Captain America and Red Skull
Spider-Man Series - Spider-Man and New Goblin
Blade Series - Blade and Abigail Whistler
Ghost Rider - Ghost Rider
XO:Wolverine - Wolverine
The Avengers - Nick Fury, Hawkeye, (Cap, Iron Man Mark VII, Hulk, Black Widow, Coulson, Loki)
The Amazing Spider-Man - Spider-Man
Obviously some are on PO but never the less you can see what I'm trying to do.
However I noticed on here some people comment about certain figures saying that they will just wait till the next version is released, or that they might sell the old Thor and replace it with the newer Thor.
So how do you choose what to buy and why do you choose those particular figures?
