I wrote an MFC blog about depression, anxiety, and figure collecting.
If you'd like to read it, please doit's a pretty personal piece but something I wanted to share. Figure-Gaf gets a shoutout too
10/10 Would read again.
I don't think I've ever seen anyone embrace the hobby so quickly and completely before. I'm glad the hobby and the community can do for you what it does.
I started with Kotobukiya bishoujos, and even then it was a few months before I dared to order my first scale figure from another company. And that was Max Factory's Hacker Chelsea. I managed to get a pre-order (she was already sold out everywhere) in at AmiAmi after miraculously waking up randomly at 6am, just in time to hear the email chime on my cell phone when the FigInStock notification arrived. I was so tense when I was putting in the order, hoping I got through before she sold out again.

My first scale/figure was in 2008. I ordered Blassreiter Amanda Werner by Yamato Creators' Labo. Bought like 6 more figures that year then went into hiatus until last July. That Yoko nendo started all this mess/life that I have now lol

Good read dude. Glad this is something that has brought excitement to you. My GF deals with anxiety so I know how hard it can be to deal with.
And fuck whoever down voted you. We ride together we die together. FigureGAF for life.
Also Happy Birthday Bomby :3
Happy Birthday,
Bombless~
Happy birthday bombless.
Waaah thanks a ton! Had a great day so far...apart from the unholy amount of food and drink I ingested (romanian style anniversary : "Live long and good health! Now eat until you die!").
If I missed a quote from any of you I'M SORRY, had to catch up to FIVE pages waaaah!
Now to go back on topic...
Everyone should watch Gundam Build Fighters, if only for Kotono Mitsuishi, Rinko's (and Murrue's) VA.
Also in not so figure news, GSC opened orders for this amazing t-shirt. I'm VERY tempted to get one.
I also highly encourage you to watch Wooser. It's a fantastically nonsensical 5 mins show.
Now to log into MFC for the first time in forever and maybe actually update my collection and accept friend requests (Sorry Samurai_Heart!).

You don't have to have some sort of status or anything? I might tag some of mine then. Is there anything I can do to help get things off "draft" status btw? I have a lot of those in my collection
I ordered Mami from them before when she was out of stock everywhere else. Shipped with no problems.

So I just paid the last two march orders and I thought that I should take a look at how many orders I still have with AmiAmi.
I have 29 in total and 10 of those are just for April. That's not counting Maiko Mami though, so I guess that means there are 11 orders just for april.
I should cut back

It's rad that you've found an avenue on how to cope with your condition dude. It sucks how heavily stigmatized mental illness is and how easily disregarded it is as a serious matter in the eye of the general public.

if you have a MFC account, upload all your figures and then go to collection and there should be a tab marked Bonus. That is your tags, Each figure naturally is tagged with certain attributes so it counts which ones are most prevalent to you collection.

Yeah, it's always my intention to focus solely on future releases, but I find myself now and again grabbing an older piece off of Mandarake or AmiAmi pre-owned.

I think I need to add the great butt tag to a few in my collection though. It's not on the Rikka Takanashi figure, and that just seems wrong.
EDIT: I have righted this grave injustice.

Tags need to be objective so a tag like that would probably get erased.

Wat
Have you seen that figure? Her skirt is unnecessarily fluttered up in the back. They knew what they were doing.
I'm saying that MFC's tags are intended to be object and "great butt" is subjective. Tags like "big butt" or "exposed butt" or "fluttering skirt" are descriptive but "great butt" is, like, just your opinion, man (even if I agree with you
). Tags aren't supposed to be opinion. Refer to MFC guidelines http://myfigurecollection.net/about/faq/#ref-faq-83Not trying to crash your parade, just saying a subjective tag will probably get down-voted and/or removed because it doesn't follow the rules.

So, I was digging around my closet for my Deadmaster nendo box because I left some parts inside it. While pulling other boxes out, I grabbed what I thought was and empty nendo box to find a Satsuki nendo still in box...
The confusing part is that I already have a Satsuki nendo displayed on my desk and I have no idea how I got this one. I dug through all my orderforms, amiami listings and emails and I cannot find a single trace of how I came to have a second Satsuki. All I know is the seal is broken but the inner packaging is still sealed.
So the question is, what do FigureGAF?
