1. I only buy figures I think are cool. Generally, that is more realistic looking figures. I am not a completist in the least.
2. I am a customizer and an opener, but so as to avoid making what could be a costly financial mistake, I don't open a figure until I am ready to "use" it, either to make something or even just to play or display it. It also makes it easier to not lose parts that way. Sometimes, I change my mind about a figure, that is why I leave them unopened until i need them. For example, i have a GIJCC widescope still MOC. I don't need the dog, and MGR has the same rifle. Also, because I am an opener, I won't pay extra for MOC/MIB, but weirdly, there is often no price difference or the carded figure is actually cheaper.
3. I have different 'verses or head cannons and I collect based on those. Right now, I am buildng a late steampunk/ early diesel punk turn of the century world with CFT, Indiana Jones, and compatible figures.
4. I only do 3.75/4/1:18. I need compatibility. No 6 inch.
5. I prefer modern GI Joe or Star Wars TVC level of detail and POA. I might buy something else though referencing rule 1.
6. I have become very careful of what I buy due to space concerns.
