Anyone collect non-cel/sketch anime stuff?

I collect bills. Does that count?

Well, I went ahead and bought it

... not that there was a lot of doubt to begin with. I just feel a strong emotional connection to the little Rakka figure that is very much like the feeling I have when I see a drawing or cel that I like. Plus I'm rewatching that show now, so that makes me a little more vulnerable.

But I've been so amazed looking at some of the fabulous non-cel collections everyone has. Pixie Princess has to have the definitive collection of Sailor Moon dolls; so pretty! And I really got stuck on looking at Keropi's autographs and comics, especially the Captain America's. And then there's Kymaera, who has a "few figures". Sheesh, no wonder you call yourself Heroine Addict!

So far, for me anyway, it basically comes back to the story-telling. Collecting seems to be a way to acknowledge and re-establish that initial strong emotion that I felt when first experiencing the story. Combine that with a little bit of an acquisitive nature, (OK, maybe more than a little bit) and pretty soon you have a room full of stuff and an empty wallet!

I used to love collecting plushies, so much so that I was obsessed when Inuyasha first aired in Japan and the first DX plushies became available imported that I tossed down almost $200.00 for a DX plush of Sesshy. I kid you not! That was back when I actually had money to burn for my obsession, before cels ever came into my life, and I was stupid, lol.

I've slowed my plushie collecting due to switching to cels. I also used to collect and assemble anime models kits, mainly Sailormoon or DBZ kits. But I haven't done those in about 5 years, still have several raw kits stored away.

I also had an obsession with washi dolls (little paper dolls). Here's one of my fave little sites showing some dolls.

I also love and want to collect vintage geisha dolls. I only have one beauty at the moment but hope to collect more in the future.

I collect shitajiki/pencil boards.
I also collect signatures On the shitajiki, but that has really slowed.

Seriously, the question for me is more what don't I collect?

On the original question, I collect trading cards, shitajiki, chirashi, post cards, lami cards, phone cards, etc. Other than cels, I pretty much collect anything that will fit in a three-ring binder. I collected trading cards for many years before even thinking I might someday be able to afford animation cels.

It's still one of my major hobbies. I sometimes buy other stuff like figures or plushies, but nothing expensive. At least, not yet.

My only other anime related collection is binsen. I have plushies and figures, but don't consider those as a 'collection'.

Fruits Basket plushes , several Lithographs , a Volks Belldandy doll , several resin statues and assorted vinyl figures.

I have a few shitajiki, gashapon figures, clearfiles, trading cards and the odd keychain/phonestrap. Pretty much what ever plastic takes my fancy.

I've been collecting gold and silver coins!

It's well worth collecting! I'm going to estimate that gold will be $1500usd and silver will be $25-$30usd per ounce!
