I am finding it very interesting, now that I am interested in japanese kaiju, most (though not all) of the "urban" vinyl that grabbed my attention before now seems just boring somehow. My concern is that this same thing will happen again. Will it?
you will grow tired of some pieces and always love some. i'm sure you still love some of your non kaiju vinyl right geo? say a certain orange [expletive deleted] or a shy/mischievous dinosaur? huh? huh?
Stay focused and don't overextend yourself? Be open to the next thing invading your mind (and your taste changing) and appreciate it like you're appreciating japanese kaiju? And if it's East versus West, I think some juxtaposing or mixing of quality pieces from both sometimes creates great atmosphere. vibe and complexity. They can sometimes play off each other in different ways. I probably sound overly vague but anyways...
I'm right there with you... I know that in my case, I'll never grow tired of all my past interests in western vinyl, but that doesn't mean I'll keep all of it either.
Geo, I can help you with your clear Dero that grabbed your attention before and now seems just boring somehow. Email me your paypal address. Thanks! j/k
I think if you keep it all in a closet you will lose your intrest in japanesse vinyl too. Buy a case and display your toys.
i know...and they can hate me for saying it but they're stupid (a least they act stupid). even though everyone loves/respects some of them a lot...still stupid. ENJOY THE STUFF FOR CHRIST'S SAKE! WOULD YOU WANT TO BE KEPT IN A BAG/BOX IN THE CLOSET? SEALED STORED FIGURES MINT ON CARD IS FOR STAR WARS FIGS!
I think accumulating too much stuffs in too little time might make you lose your attention faster.. It's not a race !
Kaiju has been my flavor for 24 years. Do you like the movies and shows? I think that gives them a bit more history and makes them a bit more valid. They inspired everything we like here now.
+1 I serioulsy appreciate the stuff that I work hard to get. And not so much for the stuff that I can pick up easily. So I try to buy pieces that will take me a few months of tracking and begging for. It keeps my interest more. If I bought every toy avaliable I would loose interest very quickly. Slow down and enjoy them. And when you add that one piece it wil be that much more appreciated.
Plus I noticed that the collectors that say that they want out and even go as far as selling of larger amount of there collection eventually retrun back. Its in your blood and you cant escape it So instead of looking for a way out juts look for a way to grow. Buy pieces from here , there and all in between. Your collection will be awsome and you wont loose interest in western of eastern toys.
