Seriously, like a big boob Nami figure is $150 or something.
Imagine a shelf full of these.

That is like having a shelf of HD TVs that aren't hooked up (value wise).

"Here is my 32 inch. Here I have a 43. This one is a smart tv. This one is Qled."

Buying waifu figures is literally one of the most expensive hobbies it looks like.

At least they are not buying guns? Guns are a way more expensive hobby. Not that most people here would like guns.

People with collections like that probably have decent jobs but few expenses.

Like if you still live at home + no kids that's quite a bit of extra money.

Perhaps except you can use the guns to hunt, kill intruders or deter the king of England from entering your house.
Or give the gun as a present to a young man for reaching an age.
Imagine giving away a big tit nami bikini figure for that.

Like this:
https://i.pinimg.com/originals/98/09/45/9809450de1714b9d7362be371e5bcb3e.jpg
Is probably $5000+

This one might be $10,000 to $20,000
https://i.pinimg.com/originals/27/99/08/279908c08415cf7762919289a96b634b.jpg

Etc.

And they just sit there.
The first is maybe $1-2k

The second is maybe $5k at best. Those smaller figures usually go for $15-$20.

The bottom left 10 figures are like $150 ish each methinks. They alone would be $1500. Then the rest is way more than $500

Individuals have spent millions of dollars on dlc for certain games alone. So this is quite tame actually.

My best friend's brother collects these anime figures. It's pretty much his only hobby besides playing the games and watching the anime themselves. He has probably 20k worth in figures and my friend tells me he still has tons of money just saved up from his regular job because he has nothing else he spends money on.

Where are you getting these numbers? The swimsuit Saber Atraxia ones retailed for $70 in the US and were easily had on Amazon on clearance for $40 back in 2015.

Are you looking at the prices they are now? Collectors usually get stuff at retail or even cheaper if straight from Japan. They obviously appreciate, especially for a character like Saber. I wouldn't doubt the entire thing is worth A LOT more in today's aftermarket prices.

Sorry, I quoted myself, but it's @ TC

It's still cheaper than having a social life

Figures have been getting more and more pricey. Sure, it's not so bad compared to some hobbies and a lot of them are well made, but I feel like they're getting too pricey.
