  Not that much actually. Unless your favorite series suddenly started growing (Like mine, with the release of Im@s 2 and the Anime these past few years), you'd just be saving up for nothing. I use excess money to buy figures and other merchandise. What really gets your wallet crying is when you start to care for a doll. Buying extra clothes and customizable items like different eyes and wigs will take it's toll on your budget. But dolls really look nice though. Dollfie Dreams especially <3..
  But I digress.
  
  Not much.

  On that note, what stuff do you guys have on pre order?
  
  I'm waiting on figma Tekkaman Blade, Tekkaman Evil, and Yukiko Amagi.

  Still wishing I could afford figurines. I'd be content with just being able to buy the anime first, lol. I don't want to pay for all of the anime I watch, but there are definitely quite a few that I think are worth owning that I'm just too broke to afford.

  I have the money to buy figurines but I never find myself satisfied owning one (have a bunch catching dust) Maybe its cause its made by someone else than the actual author/creator of the manga. They just become some luxury/show off/ room displays and sooner or later some other awesome figure anime comes out and I gotta spend money on those. I personally would feel "accomplished", unless the figures were a reward from my effort (event, contest, etc)
  
  Currently the only anime/game related products I buy are artist's art book, they seem more valuable owning and can learn a thing or two from it. I also carry the ability to draw, so I may have the ability to make my own anime figures owo

  Thats why its a bigger accomplishment than buying one. Besides, you can make replicas and sell them o3o

  That's what they were to begin with. They're the ultimate fan decoration for anyone that loves a series. They're crafted beautifully and the price accompanies the quality. Personally, I love buying figures from series I like. Not only does it make my home more like my home, but it does give me a sense of satisfaction when I get a figure from the mail, unbox it, and place it in a glass shelf where it symbolizes my deep fascination with the series. Unless you intended to display them (and really, they shouldn't gather dust with proper placement and casing), then you shouldn't even be buying figures. Art books are nice too, but I'd rather get them from the net and view them on a big screen-- something I can't really do with figures since they're more physical.
  
  I would love to see you make and distribute figures equal or better than purchasable ones, I might even buy one!

  Meh, didn't update for quite awhile now. Have a few, then:
  
  
  Found this Nue around in a hobby shop. Was a little pricey during that time, but meh. I'm stuck in the army right now with money being funded to me by the government. Might as well get stuffs that I would enjoy getting, right?

  Well, it's not such a huge surprise that I've managed to get my hands on the recently released Alice Nendoroid. Personally, I'm somewhat disappointed due to the fact that it only has one extra inter-changeable faceplate. Not only that, they totally forgot the fact that Alice is the biggest tsundere of all Touhou. If they've bothered to make Cirno a 9-ball stand, why not a tsundere faceplate for Alice? Meh. I'm very disappoint, Good Smile, very disappoint.
  
  Well, now that they've released an Aya Shameimaru nendoroid (OMG WAIFU PLZ), I'll just hop by for the Mokou while on the run of it too.
  
  Anyway, yes. I've managed to get my hands on a replacement Flan.
  
  Not a huge surprise.

  Well, just in case you're bored of the normal Alice, have one with a cape! It turns out that her shawl is removable and inter-changeable with Kudryavka's cape. Ain't gonna miss out that chance to test stuffs out!

  Also, just in case you're interested in collecting all the Touhou Nendoroids that are currently available out there in the market, here's a full complete set of all the Nendoroids as per released by Good Smile Company.
  
  Upcoming Touhou Nendoroids are Fujiwara no Mokou and Shameimaru Aya.

  Last but not least, it came with a handphone ear piece plug in the shape of a Shanghai. Pity, I rather not use it because it seems to be loose for my handphone and might just come off any moment, there.

  That's pretty much all for today. Enjoy it while my sanity lasts.

  Only 1 Cirno?
  Disappointing.

  Oh hey this thread again.
  
  Your devotion to Touhou stuff is certainly commendable. Seeing all this makes me want to purchase a Nendroid for Remillia Scarlet, I've always liked her character design despite not being really into the series. (I played like 2 of the games briefly)
  
  I've gotten a few additions to my collection (and a new shelf for them) recently, but it's late at night so, here, have some D Arts Thanatos and Figma Nyaruko.

  Well, I'm kind of stuck on the Touhou series as for now. Maybe I'll find something else next time.
