Presenting Tomocast episode 5: How we collect
by Colette Bennett on 10/06/2009 11 comments

I have to apologize to all of you for making you wait an extra month for the fifth episode of Tomocast, but as you know, I was a little busy last month with the whole going to Tokyo thing. However, as soon as I got home and recovered from jet lag, we whipped up an episode for you. I'm joined by Topher Cantler, Pedro Cortes and Jason Milward this week as we discuss all things collectible.

As always, you can hit the jump to check out an outline with helpful links of everything we discussed this episode. Go here to download the new episode. Our central topic this week was how we collect: what type of toys we like best, what companies we're into, and what we think of completist collecting. Be sure to share your own thoughts on it with us after the jump!

Last but not least, now that we've reached 5 episodes, you should be able to find the podcast on iTunes very soon. We'll keep you updated as soon as that goes live, but you don't have much longer to wait!

Black Rock Shooter (out this month)
Uplark's Nia/Viral from Gurren Lagann (both out this week)
Queen Mercedes from Odin Sphere (preorder)
Ichiban's Halloween Stitch toys
Figma ex:ride scooters (preorder)
Dengeki Character festival toys

30 minutes: topic: What you collect the most of

*What type of toy do you have the most of (anime, vinyl, plush, movie toys, revoltechs, etc)?
*Is it because of quality, type, company?
* Will you buy more of this one type of toy than you have room for?
*What do you think of completionists (people who want all of one kind of toy made by a company, etc)? If you could afford it would you want to be one?
