Now coming to the crux of this website, as I shamelessly (but proudly) put my gashapons/candy toys/ trading figures collection to display. It's also an ideal way to archive my collections because the number just kept increasing as time goes by and due to constraint of space, I seriously doubt I would be displaying everything anytime soon; therefore I can actually come in to admire on my own collections. (shameless to the max!)

Ok, ok... Photographs (which I painstakingly took) aside, I will also include the following features:

 

 Name of Series:

 The name of series in English (might not be accurate all the time).

 Manufacturer:

 The actual Japanese manufacturer and distributor.

 Date of release (estimated):

 The estimated date of release in Japan (might not be too accurate for older series)

Price (singly in ¥):

 The original price of each piece in yen.

Sculptor:

 The famous sculptor behind the wonderfully crafted figurine. (More applicable for Kaiyodo sets)

No. of Pieces in the series:

 The total number of pieces in the series (normal version).

Secret (SP)/Chase:

 Whether is there a secret or chase figure in this secret, also how rare is the secret.

Variants:

 Colour and material variants.

Size:

 The average size of the figurines in each series.

Availability (in Singapore):

 Do a market check to see whether can the particular series still be found in local retailers.

Other Remarks:

 Crossover, exclusives and other interesting notes.

I would also include pictures of the document slips and original packaging box if available. In additional, do place the cursor to the names of the individual pieces to have a look at that particular piece in the "window" by the side. I might also take a few angles of a certain piece, so do watch out for that.

Finally I would rate each particular series with the following:

  1 star, don't even know why I waste money on it (hopefully don't have any).
  2 stars, money not well spent
  3 stars, average series
4 stars, good series, desirable standard
  5 stars, excellent stuffs here!

 

Ok, all the dust settled, so do enjoy your enjoy rummaging through my collections, do your selection on the archives on the left.
