Differing from the many “waifu” specific anime figure dynasties, or harems of mahou shoujos, this otaku loves naught but the short, chubby, and bubble headed deformed creations known as “nendoroids”.
The Christina collection was worth some praise, the servant appreciation was certainly admirable, if not jaw-dropping, and the mahou shoujo shrine was definitely in a league of its own – yet this aggregate of chibis, which appears to total at least a thousand, far outweighs all those combined. Imagine these all merely cost $40 each, and assume there’s a thousand, since it sure seems that way, that would equate to a total of $40,000 USD.
For comparison, the sum of $40,000 USD is essentially on par with the average yearly wage in the United States.

Looking at them individually makes me shed a tear. I recognize a lot of them, most from animes that I’ve seen from when I was little. It brings back good memories.

I like the Nekoarcs above all – then the Ika Musumes, Black Rock Shooter, Nagi, Hinagiku, and Lucky Star crew.
Tachikoma is fine too.

It likely took years to accumulate that many.

I’m sure it did indeed – it’s interesting how you can almost see the transition of the seasons in the nendoroids.
