This is what they're doing in Georgia i guess.😱

That's so weird. I had jury duty recently and my summons included a whole other letter of what to do if we have covid symptoms. Which i did. We could call in sick and were told not to go to the courthouse. I'm so glad I'm in Los Angeles county.💖💕

I always thought that me not watching as much anime as I used to, would be the thing that would eventually wean me off figure collecting. But maybe it'll be these US tariffs.

I already have a bunch of preorders I can't take back, and I'll just have to swallow the tariffs that'll be added on, when they release. . At this point, I just have to stop buying figures. No more figures that I don't absolutely thoroughly love with a rabid brainrot intensity. No more non-articulated figures. That means, no more Pop Up Parades, no more prize figures, no more scale figures, and no more trading figures. Honestly, no more non-chibi figures. I got really into figure collecting because of the Nendoroid figure line, and I love chibi. I love cute. There are very few characters that I wouldn't prefer as chibi. For years already, I was already cutting out figures of characters I didn't know, but were pretty figures. But now, no more preordering figures of characters that I only kinda sorta like. After the tariffs, I have to be more serious about cutting down. . Honestly, I didn't fully want to preorder Pop Up Parade Viktor or 1/7 scale Dimitri. I prefer human Viktor. I prefer articulated figures. I prefer chibi. I prefer figures that aren't $200+. I don't need the detail of a scale figure! I have always been okay and in love with mid-range figures. In fact, lots of 1000yen prize figures are very high quality now. I saw them in Japan just last year! I don't need $100+ figures. . …But I got them because supporting releases is how figures I actually fully want, get produced. I want a post timeskip Claude. I want human Viktor and a Jayce to go with him. And yeah, that strategy worked a lot back in the day. That's how we got figure lines like Orange Rouge. It's how even the least popular Persona 5 character Ryuji got both a Nendoroid and a Figma. Back in the day, Good Smile wouldn't bother making figures of characters as masculine as Ryuji. I shelled out so much for Touken Ranbu characters I didn't know, just in the hopes of encouraging GSC to make Nendoroids of the Dategumi characters that I did want. And yeah, it worked. …But I can't afford that anymore. . I had to skip out on the casual versions of all 3 Spy x Family Forger Nendoroids. I had to skip out on Pop Up Parade Arsene ($90) and Pop Up Parade Homulily/Nutcracker Witch. I skipped all the Symphony version Vocaloids, until Luka. I skipped so many Snow Miku and didn't even try for so many Racing Miku. I skipped on all those cute Qset and Hello Good Smile figures, even though I wanted so many. I skipped garden party version Maomao and Nendoroid Garfield. I skipped Nendoroid Melinoe preorders in the hopes she'll be half off during a future sale after her release. I skipped school uniform Lum and all the Dungeon Meshi Nendoroids besides Senshi. I skipped Nendo Rinne Rokudo, even though I love Rumiko Takahashi. I repeatedly skip Jojo and Fruits Basket Nendoroids, even tho they're often in sales. I gave up on Yuru Camp Nendoroids and pretty idol series Nendoroids. I skipped the Nendo Doll Red Riding Hood, even though I told GSC how much I wanted her rerelease. I skipped out on the Figma Human Anatomical Model even when it was on sale for only $38! I have to skip out on figures, even when they're on sale now. And now I'm skipping on Pop Up Parade Hilda. ;_; . Lists of all the figures I've wanted and skipped, are usually a source of pride for me. Proof that I was finally able to restrain my spending. But I really hate that I have to do this now, more strictly even, because of these unnecessary US tariffs. UGH. . This may be the thing that actually gets me out of figure collecting. ;_;
