Hello ACen goers!

I've been around the figure world for a while, but now I feel it's time to start doing panels about it! I'm at Ramencon this month, but I've applied for ACen as well!

So would you like to collect figures? Do you already? No matter how much you know or have yet to learn, come to my figure panel! We'll be talking everything figures - from where to get them, to how much they tend to cost, to where NOT to get them and how to spot bootlegs! I'll be bringing a few figures from my collection as well as a few fakes that I already have the legit versions of as a great comparison to show how awful they are but how gorgeous the real things can be!

After I get this panel accepted, I'll have something further to announce as well... but I've chosen to wait. It's exciting, though, so stick around for that announcement!

Well if everything goes well, then I should be back for consecutive years with more material and different discussions! <3 I'm always looking to be informative and spread the love of figures!

Oooh, sounds like a good panel! If you'd ever like a copanelist for this, I'd be up for it. I've been tempted to try my hand at a figure panel in the past.

Fingers crossed that I can come this year, though. I don't know where ACen will fall in terms of finals.

Ukraine has breasts.
She has them in spades.
If South Korea and Ukraine were to hook up...
Then South Korea would never have a shortage of breasts ever again.

I've got a few figures, and would love to attend a panel covering this and learn more. Especially when trying to see the mentality and buying habits of the more avid and hard-core collectors. That and pricing/what makes a figurine sell or not...

Will definitely be going to this panel! I've been collecting for a little over a year and love to geek out with other collectors.

And yes. Bootlegs. NGIGNREIGNIG. NFINIRBNIBGTIKINOINOPNOPNOPNO.

Ahem. Bootlegs = bad.
ACen 2013 cosplay:

Lara Croft (2013 ver.) - Tomb Raider
Tsumugi Kotobuki (Waitress Ver.) - K-ON!
Yuki Nagato (Disappearance Ver.) - The Disappearance of Haruhi Suzumiya

If you took pictures of me on Saturday as Tsumugi or Lara, please send them to me since I would love to see them!

This does sound pretty interesting. I'm not as into figure collecting as I was a few years ago, but I still do have my collection.
