Out of about 500 figures in my collection (that includes trading figures) 56 are male specimens and 21 of those men are One Piece figures.

This might be a trend more-so for the under served female fans of figures, but when debating which figures are worth what dollar amount to me, a good male figure gets more points.

I’m really REALLY itching to finally finish off Persona 3: FES. That game is the ultimate time whore for me. I’ll start that game…do a few things…and before I know it 3 hours have passed. It’s nuts. I spent most of my winter vacation last year on Disgaea: Hour of Darkness.
