Doubles? Triples? of figures

does anyone here buy seconds for the sake of MOC/MISB collecting?? doing that for SHF is ridiculous cause it's resealable but let's say marvel legends or DC universe classics, those type of stuff where it's cardback.

No. Just one is enough for me.

Like I said: only if I want the item autographed will I buy a second and keep it MOC.

I think it's a viable way of getting much more than what it's worth in the long run. I was considering, when I had a job of course, grabbing two of each exclusive, one for my collection, and then one to sell off later.

I was considering that actually at one point. But then I thought, "I bought this for a reason. It'd be a waste to keep it in the box."

Nope just one. I'd kinda consider that spending for the sake of spending, but that's just me. If it's a variant, then that's a different story.

Depending on the Kind of figure, if its on card like this:



I have to get a loose one and a MOSC one

if its just a figure in a box like a figuart I usually only get one. If I really feel like being a MISB collector I'll get extras then :laugh:

I'd buy two or three same toys if I had the money, one to be displayed in action, and one to be kept MISB just in case the other one is broke:laugh:

But I did buy two same Tamashii Web exclusive item once, and that one is Bonta-Kun Mass Produced version

Well, in my defense... At least I didn't buy all 5 of them, and I really like Bonta-kun, fumoffu :3



My memory little bit vague, but there's one anime otaku character has his/her own way to collecting figures by buying multiple same item, I think it was Konata Izumi from Lucky Star. It was one for display, one for keep it MIB, one for play/pose it outside, one for substitution just in case, IIRC :laugh:

Like Emperor said, only case that would apply to me would be army building (IE clone troopers). Only other time I bought 2 of something was hot wheels speed racer cars just cause I wanted to keep one in packaging.

Only reason I usually buy more than one of a figure is for armybuilding.

But since you're not talking about that, the only other reason I'd personally do this is if the original broke beyond repair OR if I really wanted to display one in packaging.

^ that's how I roll. But some riders I like so much I really want doubles, but it's just too hard to afford it. Oh well, i guess MOC collectors are that prominent here huh? everyone is an "opener"
