A Guide to my Collection of Anime figures and Gundams
Gooday Everyone,
My name is Sazako. Today I will tell you about the guide I wrote to explain my collection of Japanese Merchandise (figures and Gundams) to all those who have wandered into my (parent's) house.
Having been a figure/ Gundam collector for two years I decided it was time to invest in some Deltof Cabinets to stop work with the dusting and for better display options. They said it would be good if the Deltof's could be set up around our dinner table for some reason in particular. Probably to look at all the painted Gundams. So I agreed and from that moment forth my Anime Figure and Gundam collection have been there ever since for all who come through my house to see.
Sazako's family dinner Table with cabinets.
Since anime and its characters is a complicated thing these days they didn't have much of a clue on the context of the characters. The straw which broke the camel's back was when work required me to spend large amounts of time away from the house so I couldn't give any explanations on what was what. I was then asked to write a guide which I agreed.
My goal was to write it so that the layman who has no understanding of anime who happened to look at my collection would be able to look it up to gain some information of the character. The guide gives an explanation from type of genre the character is from, who they are, what they did in their story (being spoiler free as possible) and why I liked them enough to buy a figure of them. My goal which I fell far short of was creating an expatiation equivalent to having watched the anime series.
Each figure has a page dedicated towards them with a picture of the figure, concept art and fan art which I have pillaged from the internet. At the top is a table detailing vital information including the date I acquired them, their origin and company which supplicated them. By the end of the guide I had gotten a bit tired of it all so tried to make it funny where I could (See Roger Smith from Big O for example).
A Sample of this is featured below detailing what Touhou Project is and my Figures of Youmu and Kaguya.
Now I leave the guide in front of the cabinets so that anyone is curious wondering WTF an item is can look it up and receive an explanation.
***The following may contain a mild spoiler or two.***
This version is only current for the figures I had on display at the start of 2012. I guess when 2013 rocks around I will update the guide so it has the new additions to my collection which I have acquired in 2012. I am very welcoming on opinions and Ideas on how I could do this better so please leave a comment.
