What do you do with it?

To give dust bunnies a breeding ground apparently.

I buy them to support my waifus and other characters I love.

Admiration. I only have two figures though, and I just love looking at them. Both Hatsune Miku :D

I buy them if I find they are worth buying.

Usually cause its a particular character I like but also sometimes cause the figure is just amazingly done.

This is pretty much why I buy them, Its also because I like collecting things.

I only have 2, but the feeling when I set them on my desk with everything arranged neatly just gives me a sense of fulfillment. I don't have any other reason for buying them other than aesthetics.

I buy them coz they're just so cute/awesome.

It's pretty much no different from those who like buying fine china, or owning jewelry.

I buy them because I think they are look cool and are interesting to look at, and I also buy them for decorative purposes.

Ijust like them i do have over 20 from different shows

Pride of possessing a beautiful object that happens to be a beautiful and/or badass/sexy anime character.

Its like possessing an art piece. Why do you have it? Because it means something to you, because it adds to your social stature, you possess something that is beautiful to look at, probably expensive and otherwise useless.

That's art isn't it? Well, in an economical context that is.

I buy it because it just looks nice I guess. And I want to support the series that I like, hence the 3 things I got that's Sora no Otoshimono related(Ikaros figurine, Oppai mousepad of Ikaros and Ikaros chibi)

I buy them because of the art involved and I don't have anything worth spending my money on. I was an avid gamer and I can dish out a lot of money for games, but I realized that it's only a virtual item.

I have them just for show. I started getting a few figures last year when I decided to add some "color" to my boring room. It's also nice to have guest come over and say "Holy Shit! It's (characters name) from (anime or video game character is from)!". Might get a couple more in the futrue befor I stop.

You all lie. I know you guys just do figurine bukkakes.

For a minute, I thought the topic said "What do you do it with?" and since once of the categories for this board is "TOYS"...well you can guess what I was thinking.

Anyways, I buy figurines because of their cuteness. Looking at cute anime girl figures just gives me a warm fuzzy feeling in my twisted heart :D

you dirty dirty man...



Yep that's pretty much the reason i started this hobby.
Well and i like to look at nicely made NSFW ladies in all the different embarrassing poses, that to i guess.
