Hello, I'm Rachel , but always use "Rakiko" on the net and I'm from Canada. Since last summer I was interested to be a member here, I was browsing for find some vinyl characters and found this forum and I saw a lot of wonderful collections. I know most of you are guys, but women also like Japan soft vinyl toys. Some of you may be know me on facebook, I enjoy to see you here and meet new friend collectors for share our passion of collecting Japan toys and figures.
Bonjour Rakiko. There are a few of us 'northerners' on here, and don't worry, you aren't the only girl either A warm, hearty welcome. Take a look around, and don't get overwhelmed right away. New folks are always welcome on the community, even if we act differently sometimes A good way to start is checking out or discussing what your particular focus is, if any. I am sure you will find plenty of friendly people around here who share your collecting niche.
I always feel alone as collector in my city, but I found many collectors on the net around the world and this is great.
Welcome Rachel! You can trust that you're not the only woman here. It's just that us guys are noisier and ruder.
When I've browsed the forum. before my registration I 've seen some women, so anyway we are collectors and share our passion for vinyl toys. Of course... a girl collection has probably more "cute vinyls" but anyway I like monsters too !
My hometown! Representing for the 418! Morgan Bride used to carry a few things, I don't know if they still do... A lot of these guys collect, and some others too... Do you know Jean-Luc?
