The end of my PVC adventures

For 2009 at least. Well, alright, potentially 2010 too since I blew my 2010 PVC budget on these overpriced little buggers as an early Xmas gift for Wife-chan (Though to be honest, I thought beautiful Waifu-chan deserves better/bigger but sadly poor tanuki is poor.)

My 2009 PVC adventures have drawn to a close since my remaining 3 pre-orders will only arrive in 2010. This year has been an absolutely budget-busting, wallet-melting financial nightmare with regards to my PVC passion - Only 16 figures but a fiscal damage of S$2200. That averages out to about S$140 per figure which is madness - note the 75% increment from the S$82/figure in 2008. Personally I blame these 5 recent plastic haremettes added to my collection.

Putting up a Figures Page

I've never bothered to put up a page dedicated to my figures mostly because my collection is small - after three years, the grand total is still a very modest 18. But even if the number continues to grow slowly, it will be useful to have a page will allow me to keep track of my collection at a glance.

Young collectors and the PVC debt

Since I’m up @ 4am in the morning due to high fever, I thought I should do what any right-thinking sick person would – blog. And the topic of choice today is something close at heart (though closer to my wallet) – the figure collector’s PVC debt

It’s been a while since I updated my PVC escapades (Zyl is covering that amply I believe) and this healthy passion with supposedly heavenly returns has somewhat festered into a financial hell for this tanuki. My request for injection of funds from the government Waifu-chan was met with uncontrollable laughter echoing throughout my estate. A “No” I suppose. So I resorted to the only way a tanuki knew about earning extra cash – selling my plastic daughters.
