>>8077511>You buy a toy for the characteristics of the toy, not the characteristics of whatever character it's supposed to depict.so by your logic i should go snag every good looking toy out there if i feel like it? I'm not that saying it's wrong, or that you should collect like me, it's just something i wouldn't do,
>You're acting like the character is the only reason you'd have a toy.because it's called setting boundaries. i don't know how you collect your toys but based on your description it might as well be impulse-based, meaning your collection has no pattern and/or coherence with one another.
I myself am a completionist, and personally i like my collections to have a recognizable theme, whatever it is. you could take a picture of my lineup and you can tell "hey it's the 84-85 autobot team" or "it's the beast wars predacons" rather than "it's a bunch of random cool robots". In my experience, being a completionist and an impulse buyer is a horrible combo, which i don't want to be. and i sure as hell don't want to have an eyesore like pic related on 2-3 corners of my room.
>>8077519Personally I enjoy seeing new takes on a characters engineering and design.
so do I. difference is, you probably keep both while I only keep the "better" one. same reason why there are also those among us who would sell or give away Classics '06 butterfly Megatron for the Siege one, for example. also ther reason why the term "definitive version of [insert character here]" exists.
