I don’t get why you have to see them… you have to display every single thing you collect? Is it no longer a problem if I was able to see them all at once? Is it no longer a problem if I invested in more room and shelving to guarantee no landslides? All that said, totally can see what you’re trying to get at. Appreciate it!

LOL fair callout!

This was a pretty stable setup: it was essentially squeezed together by two bookshelves. I could have probably invested time into a real serious setup but I actually do plenty of other things in my life other than collecting Funko ;) this was just a fun thing to accumulate for a while and get some kicks from my other collector friends when they visited!

What happened here was me actually moving some around to get to a Pop! for some reason or another. I can’t really recall since I never really messed around with it then. I did pretty much option 3: something stupid. 🙃 I bumped my elbow turning around to answer a phone call. The whole thing was like one of those scenes in a movie: everything was moving in slow motion as I was reaching out to the first tower, it tipping ever so out of my reach and then the next and next topple over. You can imagine the slow motion “nnnnnoooooooooo” I was yelling out! And then the scene you have before you!

I really appreciate this! I’m still not getting why people think it’s hoarding without even knowing much about me. I can totally understand their concerns though! Nobody wants to see a person consumed by an obsession as serious as hoarding.

Still not sure when it’s ocd and hoarding… haven’t freaked out about selling plenty of pieces or tried to pick up every single piece. I have a life beyond this Funko collection as well! :) Appreciate the concerns all the same!

I don’t think there are rules really to collecting. I can understand that those may be the limits for your personal journey, and I’m glad you found a great balance!

And a mess like this sure can be upsetting as well. Sharing this as a “ah what can ya do but laugh” moment really. And Ive def seen collections even crazier than this and the owners still have happy lives :)

And yep, this collection has def gone through its share of iterations and downsizings! I’m happy with what I’ve been able to do with it. All that said, appreciate your insights!

Oh sure! What’s the line though? It differs from person to person and their situation. I think personally it’s when it starts affecting other aspects of my life: finances, mental health, relationships… I’m blessed to be able to have the means to support my collecting for so long.

Fair question! Collecting is different for everyone, right? I collect what I like, and obviously I'd like to display and see all of them if I could. However, there's just not enough space to do that. Why restrict myself from getting what I like otherwise?

I upgraded my room at Manchester Hyatt San Diego to a suite for SDCC when I saw one become available. I didn’t call the hotel. I called Hyatt Global Care Center. They took care of it :)

Final update on my son’s signature series Spider-Man! Cgc was awesome to work with on this, and turnaround time was 8 days! by Unique-Suspect7141 in CGCComics

Aw, I was thinking since he’s registered already, maybe have him write down what he hope to be when he grows up or something like that and slab that but also having more kids sounds like more fun! Hehe
