Collectable-wise, all I really have is my tiny Cardcaptor Sakura shrine:

(Click here to see it)

- Playmates Clow Card Book
- unopened Upper Deck Cardcaptors CCG packs (both 1st Edition)
- Import CD-ROM of Card Hunter Sakura 2 by DK SOFT
- All twelve Cardcaptor Sakura manga TPs (stacked on top of the VHS tape collection)

(I also keep a copy of cNc Darkside's GF Captor Kurara fangame.)

I think your cardcaptor shine is missing this chess piece that came with CLAMP no Kiseki.

I like your tiny shrine.. but if you can turn it into a huge shrine with poster etc, than that would be awesome too.

Darkhunter, you have a Gon plush!?! Soooo jealous, I love Gon. When I was younger, I would just stare at the Gon comics over and over again. ^^

These days, I'm not as big with the toy collectables, or I would have more.

My anime and game collection is more than enough of a collection for me. Smile

I don't really do anime collectables, but I do have a Spirited Away wall scroll (in Japanese, the one with Chihiro standing in front of the pigs) and one of the original American run of the Ryo-Ohki plush dolls in addition to a few small posters and a "women of anime" 2005 poster. (Unfortunately I don't have a digital camera right now so I can't post pictures. Crying or Very sad )

Well, I don't have much, and what I do have is fairly unorganized (eh, I'm not exactly the cleanest person in the world), but here it is anyhow:



Most of the Angel Sanctuary goodies came from collector's box, Angel Box, including the clock and the wallscroll. It also came with a bunch of prints, postcards, and stickers. Although it took me months to save up for (which sounds pathetic, but I'm jobless except during pool season and going to college in a year, so have pity!), I'm still convinced that it was worth it. Here's a close-up:



I also have a number of furoku from Hana to Yume, but they're generally nothing worth showing off. Being a packrat, I keep them stashed away with a bunch of other junk that I just don't have the heart to throw away.

I took these pictures at night, so please forgive the poor lighting.

Ok, here's the shelf I keep all of my anime-related things in my bedroom. I only began collecting figures a year ago, but I'm pretty happy with my little collection, and it's steadily growing (can't wait to hit the cons this summer!)



And a close-up:



And here's my living room with various posters and wall scrolls.



Just off frame is a Fruits Basket poster (my roommate's) and a Lain wall scroll. I had a close-up picture of the end table, which is covered with Cardcaptor Sakura pencil boards I use as coasters, but it came out fuzzy, and my tripod is in use at the moment..

@ IvoryBirch, pretty good Angel Sanctuary Shrine. Perhaps I should build my own shrine.
Where did you get the Angel Box from? Did a google search and didn't come up with anything. Pretty nice.

@Cloe, Nice anime room.You got the wallscroll and figurines. I wonder what's people's expression are when they enter your room.

Yeah, it was pretty difficult to find as the Angel Box was only produced in limited quantities in 2001. It took a lot of searching, but eventually I did find a few sites:

Tuptoy Store The only American seller I could find, but they also had the steepest price. I ultimately ended up ordering it from them because I prefer domestic shipping to overseas shipping.

Daily Manga The price is slightly lower (120.00€, which is about 157 American dollars according to a currency converter), but as I said, I try to avoid ordering overseas.

And then, of course, there are online auctions. The lowest price I found was on Yahoo Japan Auctions (5,000 yen!!), but ordering from there is a real hassle. The seller, like most from Yahoo Japan, didn't ship overseas, and I had no desire to go to use an errand service.

I also saw one on ebay, but the seller wasn't including everything in the box (and it was after I had already gotten mine, so it wouldn't have mattered anyhow). I'm sure there are a few being sold from time to time on ebay, but it's never guaranteed. Oh, and there are probably some Angel Boxes sold at conventions, but it would be a bit excessive to go to a convention just to buy something, no?

Err... that was much longer than it needed to be (I never realized how much thought I had put into shopping online). Confused

Anyhow, I agree with darkhunter - your room is really pretty, Cloe! Come to think of it, I love everyone's room, because I really think it says something about that person's personality. This thread also reminds me of how much I love figures and plushies. Sadly, I only have one figure of my own (of Xianghua from Soul Calibur, which was bought on a whim and is probably buried beneath piles of clothes in my pigsty of a room now), and I have nary a plushie. I do, however, have a rather...eclectic collection of stuffed animals that I've amassed over the years, causing my parents quite a few headaches. But really, my mom is one to talk, because she collects procelain nurse dolls. Er, I'm getting really off-topic, sorry.

The stuff I really like all happens to be stuff the best big brother in the world got me:

-A Hellsing casket box with a dvd inside, t-shirt and a pin from Japan

-A TMRevolution magazine and CD signed

-A slayers t-shirt signed by Maria Kawamura (Naga)

I also have a plushy of the Trigun cat which I really like, but my kitten decided it was his enemy, poor thing no longer has a face...[/img][/code]

Thank you darkhunter and IvoryBirch for the compliments! To be honest, I just cleaned my room a few days ago for some very important company I'll be having in a week or so (all the way from China!) so you kind of caught me in a clean spell. Usually there are papers/books scattered all over the place. ^^;

I completely agree, IvoryBirch. I love seeing everyone's rooms and collections; I feel like I know them a little bit better, even if it's just slightly. Plus it's just neat seeing the stuff that's out there. (For instance, I'm tempted to check out Angel Sanctuary after looking at your collection. Wink)

Check this anime room out from Extreme-Make Over Home Edition. Kind of scray having kenshin watch over you while you sleep.



Nobody else here collect anime stuff? Where all the otakus at? I'm guessing most people here are just broke azz fansub leechers. Keep them collectibles coming.
