I completely missed out when they started releasing, but I jumped on the bandwagon with the 2.0 updated figures starting with SS Goku Awakening version. I immediately fell in love with it when I saw it and eventually picked up the Scouter Vegeta as well. Now I actually own all 2.0 DB/Z/Super Figuarts and will probably collect them all from now on. I'm just hoping that the 1.0 figures like Android 17 and Golden Frieza get 2.0 re-releases someday (I'm a NIB collector). What about you? What's your collecting habit like?

I'm personally trying to finish off my 1.0s and 2.0s at the same time. I'm gonna guess that's why I got 1.0 Goku for $107.10 loose with no aura. I'm also possibly one of the only collectors that doesn't give a crap about if the figure's loose. (BAD ATHF JOKE INCOMING) Basically, I'm the Sir Loin of collecting SH Figuarts.

I've been collecting since Android 17 and 18 came out, and now I have almost every character (mostly NIB). But now I feel like my collection is too big and I don't have much of a way to display it so from now on, only collecting my favorites.

I started collecting little over a year ago
Had no idea what this line was but I stumbled upon a Warrior Awakening Goku on eBay that reminded me of my favorite Jakks figure growing up so I went ahead and copped it
When I got it in I fell in love with all the detail and design so more research led me into getting into the line as a whole
Now I’m 43 figures deep and don’t even have everything I want yet not including pre-orders
I would say I go for collecting all figures in the line but I have specific rules I follow for the way I collect
1. Anime colors & accuracy only
2. I only buy one of each release unless the specific release comes with 2 forms or more than one way to display the character (EG: 2 SDCC Piccolos to display with and without cape & turbine or 2 Vegitos to display at Base & SSJ)
3. If a different (anime accurate) costume/form can be achieved via a headswap with 2 different figures and hasn’t officially been released by Tamashii, I’ll buy 2 spares then sell the oddball headswap to compensate. (EG: buying a 1.0 Scouter Vegeta to headswap with a SSGSS Vegeta figure than selling the scouter Vegeta body with the SSGSS head)
4. I won’t buy or keep any 1.0 figures if a 2.0 has or is to be confirmed releasing
Keeping them in the box is tempting but I love busting them open to pose as soon as I receive them hahah

I only collect 5 inch scale for the most part, but I'm a bit more lenient on scale than some others on here lol, so I only started collecting characters/forms that I didn't already have in that scale, or ones that were better replacements for the Irwin versions like Android 16 or Nappa. But as of late I've been trying to get every figuart release. I generally don't collect two of the exact same figure, so for example I bought both a Figuarts Goku Black, and the Dragon Stars Goku Black to be able to display both forms. Right now my collection is packed away in boxes, but I'm sure I won't end up needing every Figuart that I bought. But since these always go up in price I see no harm in buying each one even if I end up deciding I don't need it for my collection.

I started collecting 5 years ago, at the time there were few releases so my goal was to collect everything, even the SDCC's.
With the increase of releases, I excluded the repaints from my goal, and I would only get them if I didn't have the OG ones.
Now with the PCE, 2.0 and even more releases to keep up with, I don't collect the xenoverse ones, and either I keep the OG's or sell them to get the 2.0 versions. I did that with base Goku, and pretend to do with SS3 Goku.
Yesterday I was thinking of selling my SDCC Gohan, SDCC Piccolo and SS Goku. I prefer the battle damaged versions over these ones, and I'm sure Piccolo will have a battle damaged version soon.

I've only been buying the Saiyan Saga ones for my personal collection, but I also have Awakening SS Goku and the new Frieza. I haven't opened those 2 yet, nor Vegeta or Nappa, because I'm waiting to see if Nappa gets released in anime colors someday and waiting to see if an alternative to Figuarts Saiyan Saga Vegeta ever comes out since he is rather oversized compared to the others. SS Goku and Frieza I haven't opened because I'm not so sure I want to. I have 800+ DBZ figures... do I really need to open and display Figuarts? I'm not so sure. I don't get a lot of pleasure out of it compared to finding a new 5 inch scale figure.
The figures I have open are Yamcha, Tien, Datong bootleg SS Vegeta (just because I happen to own it), and Golden Frieza (because he is 5 inch scale). I'll be buying and opening the new Goku when he comes out in a few weeks/months to go with Yamcha and Tien most likely.
I do buy some of the others just to hoard and resell after 3 years of hoarding, just to fund the rest of my figure collecting. I don't buy very many though. The prices these days are even higher than they used to be, so it makes investing too expensive.
