HI! I really like your aki collection in /aki, and I was wondering, when did you start collecting aki merch and where do you buy your figures, nendoroids and funko pops? πππ I really wanna start a power collection in my room because I love her so much, and i really need tips on what to buy & what to avoid buying! also ur rentries are super cute
thank you!!!

hallo!! π firstly thank you so so much! i really appreciate it.. i began collecting around sept/oct of 2024 and i used to grt my things in person in stores like b&n and boxlunch.. just a matter of being lucky since their collections can be small and/or mediocre. but they will usually be the ones selling funkos and prize figs!
currently i use proxy websites to get my merch
neokyo & surugaya is a good place to start but ive been using solely doorzo for a few months now. they tend to be a little more affordable w/ proxy fees (free) and shipping. with proxies i reccomend searching up power with her name in KANJI and not just power.. it'll really help. (honorable mention: aliexpress Does have their fair share of cute merch)
there's not much to avoid buying depending on your dedication ehe. but i don't buy keychains & stickers often, or plastic standees.. i think they're too little for the amt of money proxies tend to cost. but if u love em then you should get them anyway!
my biggest advice: take it slow.. don't buy too much too fast. best of luck!!!!
