Aw neat idea! This would have made a nice panel, actually. I'll have to look at scheduling to see if I'll be able to make it though. I'd probably be more likely to bring a new figma/nendo/revoltech etc that I purchase at the con than bring one from home, for fear of anything getting damaged in travel. ^^;;

Edit: Honestly, back when I first checked out the Swap Meets at AB I'd hoped to meet fellow figure collectors who would be swapping blind-box duplicates and whatnot, but much to my chagrin those are mostly just filled with people swapping old manga and video tapes and other commonplace things like that. I'd love to have some kind of panel specifically about collecting figures/dolls and memorabilia, maybe with display tips and figure swaps and best places to shop from, and figure swaps and stuff.

Ooh, a panel like that would have been fun. I moderate a figure website (MFC), do a podcast, and will have a new blog up soon - but I don't know how much interest there is for something like that at conventions since lately I have only been attending one or two a year. Maybe I can find others interested and add that to my list in the future.

Even if you don't bring anything, feel free to drop by if you have time! ヽ(^▽^)ノ This goes for all you lurkers or people who don't collect but are interested as well.

Well, I hope there's some lurkers on these forums who see this and will come!! I highly doubt that you and I are the only avid collectors of figures on here... XD

If you do consider doing a panel for figure collecting at any future New England cons, do keep me in mind~! I'm not much of a kickstarter/leader-type person, (but with your site and podcast it sounds like you are!) but I do have a lot of knowledge and experience when it comes to collecting :3

Dear lurkers, please come and I will give you Hello Kitty stickers. (◕‿◕✿)

Will do! It sounds fun if people would be interested in it. I'd enjoy going to more conventions.

Bringing along my Yuyuko nendoroid and Tsumugi figma.

Yup, I'm gonna be there. While I won't spoil which two figures I'm bringing, they'll hopefully allow for some interesting pictures.

I FORGOT ENTIRELY ABOUT THIS T____T

I was so sad when I realized D: A photoshoot I was at ran a bit late and I was dying to sit down... poo. ;_; I could have brought the sweet Oreimo figure I had bought... XD

Did you have a good turnout, at least?

It was small, but enjoyable. Four people total (counting myself).
