I have always collected something, ever since I 
was little.  From My Little Ponies, to TMNT, 
there has always been SOMEthing I had my eyes on 
that I had to have as much as I could get.  The 
other items I really love to nab these days are:

Anything tiger..tiger pictures, tiger toys..and 
especially stuffed tigers and big cats in 
general.  I have a shelf just overflowing with 
the tons of stuffed wild cats and tigers I have 
found :D.

Poseable figures and dolls!!  I LOVE poseable 
figures, ever since I was little ^_^.  I just 
love having little people I can pose, they're so 
cute!  Plus they help me with drawing, bonus!

Ufo catchers!  This was my first anime 
collecting passion.  I've since gotten back into 
that too, only this time Im getting custom made 
ones...so fun!!

Doujinshi!  I am always taken aback by the 
amazing talent there is in Japan.  Most 
doujinshi is sort of XX-rated..but I dont care, 
I buy it for the faces and outfits..or do I?  
Buwahahaha!  J/j ^_^;;;;  I love doujins from my 
favorite anime and games.

Welp, that's about it.  I find that collecting 
all of these items is cheaper than collecting 
cels..most of the time.  The custom ufo's can 
get a bit expensive, but it's so worth it.  I 
enjoy all sorts of wacky things, so even while 
anime is going CG...they still make toys and 
knik-knaks to buy, and those are just as 
enjoyable to  me =^_^=
