Figures

I was wanting to know who collects Anime/manga Figures? I have been for a long while but stopped for like 7 or 8 years because of RL. But recently saw some and got back into it. From my free standing Ryoko from Tenchi Muyo to my more recent Sena Kashiwazaki from Haganai, with plenty of Revoltech Queen's Blade figures in between (i love Echidna lol) Anyone else into Figures for collecting/playing/photo caping?

I've never collected figurines from anime/manga, mostly due to lack of opportunity and funds. But I am big into building. I was a Games Workshop fanatic in my youth, and I've recently received my first Gundam build. It's a Tallgeese, unpainted, from Wing. I haven't built in a while, so I'm making sure I have everything I need before I open it up, but I'm looking forward to the finished product. Where do you get the figurines? Do you have a local shop, or do you order online?

I don't care much for figurines, but I do have a lot of gundam models. I'l tend to buy about three a year (at least). Most of mine are boxed up in storage right now, except for this awesome guy (http://www.hlj.com/product/ban960542).

I admire figures. It's not something I'm big on. One of my friends is constantly buying beach beauties figures. The last one I bought was this: <a href="http://www.moetron.com/2007/11/13/max-factory-17-guilty-gears-bridget-pvc/">Bridget</a> <img src="http://moetron.com/newfiles/burichan_maxfactory006_resize.jpg"> <p> This one was very pricey so I am not gonna buy another figure for a long time. Again, not too big on them but I love my Bridget one.
