Hello peeps, I'm Majin Tomato, otherwise known as TomatoisJP. I've actually been hovering around her for a bit now, but since I finally have a day off I'm working on taking photos of some of my collections. I've been a figure collector for awhile, but for a long time I avoided DBZ figures... I vaguely remember having a Dende and a Kid Trunks figure from one of the US figure lines, but the figures themselves never really impressed me too much. I dipped my toe in every so often (I remember having model kit figures with rubber Gis and trying out a Kai figure line), but I was never really impressed with any of the lines I started collecting. However, a year or two ago I came across the Figuarts line online, and I fell in love with them. However, the expense of the line, combined with the absurd secondhand market, has kept me from really diving head-first into the line. That said, the line isn't really THAT high maintenance (They do what, 4-5 figures a year? I've bought three entire waves worth of ML figures from this year alone.) so I try to keep up with pre-orders when something interests me. In the meantime, I mostly just wait for characters I want and don't have to inevitably be re-released.
I'm known on other parts of the internet for listing out characters I want for a shelf well in advance, just to give myself limits and because it gives me a goal to strive towards. In the case of DBZ in particular, I have some very weird prejudices... I don't like to display any form of Super Saiyan, God or otherwise. I'm perfectly happy with everyone being in their normal states. But on the flipside, I also have no desire to display villains like Freeza or Cell in their base forms. I know, I'm weird. I try to keep to one version of each character (One Gohan, one Vegeta, one Goku, etc) but I do plan on getting separate figures for Fusions and for the two versions of Trunks (though despite what Toei thinks, blue haired Future Trunks will never be a thing. Ever.).
Favorite character is Gotenks, though I could not tell you why to save my life.

Welcome to the board! As for your preferences, they have a rhyme and reason to them. If anything, they allow you to keep your collection focused, which is definitely not a bad thing!
