Sci-Fi & Otaku Collectors [a.k.a. Hoarders]

"Nobody knows why they are not extinct, since it is clear they do not mate."

Honestly, I can relate to Otaku collectors. I mean, they're a lot like science fiction collectors.

I found this caption amusing. I don't actually collect Japanese figurines and most other Japanese collectibles, though I have amassed a fairly sizable collection of Neon Genesis Evangelion figures and all kinds of other Evangelion stuff. I've just always connected to that series on all kinds of levels, but visually through its striking character designs, by Yoshiyuki Sadamoto [the characters], the sorely underrated Ikuto Yamashita [the Evangelions] and Hideaki Anno, it's always been a winner.

Granted collecting can overrun the house as spotlighted in this picture and procreating may be difficult for some. In fact, now that I think about it Sci-Fi collectors and Otaku collectors is sort of a kinder, gentler term for hoarding.

So... to the Fancave where I have confined my hoarding.

It's difficult to choose between the Kaiyodo Revoltech line or the new Bandai Robot line. Both companies offer pure genius. Bandai does some amazing work with their partially diecast Chogokin line, so you really can't go wrong with the Robot line which is why they are in direct competition with Revoltech. Still, there's room for both right? : )
