I have a question.

Essentially nobody posts here, at least not anymore. Except me. Now, I no longer collect 1/12 scale figures. I have a metric fuck ton. That cost me a lot of money over the years. Mostly imports. But I've packed the majority of those things away with no plans of digging them out.

I don't think I should make this sub a 1/6 scale only figure photo shoot. But nobody else posts. But... that's what I collect now...

I'm considering maybe just stepping away from this place. But I've seen how just leaving it alone does. It's just.. A dead ass sub because nobody else posts.

My question:

Should I fuck right off for (apparently months) in hopes somebody else will engage with this place or just keep on keeping on?

I'd like to see this sub liven up but I feel like a big dummy for being one of, if not the only person adding content, even if some ain't feeling it.

Thoughts?

(something tells me, to not expect replies lol)

Cheers.

I don't know what to say, but this popped up on my feed today and I voted it up.

How big is your collection?

[–] MaXimus421@lemmy.world 3 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Thanks man.

I'm about 20 or so 1/6 figs in

1/12 scale figures? Geez. In the hundreds, easily. Been collecting for 15+ years.

Dang, impressive. Do you construct / paint them yourself or do most come as-is?

I lurk. I love action figures and have been building Gunpla for a couple of years, trying to build out a cool collection in fun poses.

I would love to post, but all my stuff is packed away at the moment, and whenever I grab anything new, it gets packed away too until I setup a new display area. I’ve been collecting for over 20 years, and I must have many multiples of hundreds of figures. For some reason 1/6 figures irritate me (as do statues), and I can’t afford them anyway.
