I really need to stop preordering figures of characters I barely know or don't know at all. And now I should add to that list "characters I like but am not obsessed with".

Because then wonFes announcements come for characters I love, who I never expected would get Nendoroids, I regret spending money on those characters I only have a passing affinity for. Like, I preordered Nendo Bayonetta this past October, and now I constantly think about how that money should've gone towards Nendo Kairi, Nendo Aqua, or preordering P5S. I think of the money I wasted on Nendo Bayo...and Nendo 2B (when I haven't even played Nier Automata yet---I don't know how I've manage to stay away from spoilers so far!), the 2 butai version Touken Ranbu Nendoroids, Nendo Saber Musashi, Nendo Kiso, all my KanColle Nendoroids (besides Kongo), etc. That's money I should have saved for the seated Nendo Hinata and Kageyama versions, Nendo Axel, Nendo Roxas, Nendo 9S, Hetalia world Stars version Nendo UK, etc. Instead, I'm probably now not going to get any of those. Plus, I'm going to be hurting when I get Nendo Dizzy and that new version of Nendo Nishinoya Yu. I mean, I could photoshoot fun jokes with Nendo Bayonetta as Nendo Joker's mom but was that really worth completely cutting out budget consideration for Nendo Roxas and Axel? And now Kairi and Aqua are on my chopping block...;_; This is crazy.

Maybe I shouldn't even preorder Persona 5 Strikers. I mean, I could get the story from let's plays. But it's a musou game, and hack'n'slash can be so relaxing and easy to pick up anytime. I could really enjoy playing it. Much more than even P5; I typically dislike turn-based. I only put up with P5's turn-based combat because P5 was so stylish and I loved the characters. In fact, hack'n'slash is my preferred type of gameplay, next to 2D fighters. I even play action-RPGs as if they were hack'n'slash. (I didn't switch out my Keyblade or keychains on KH1 until The End of the world. lol)

Lately I keep thinking about how I can't just sell off the Nendoroids I regret buying, because I threw away all their packaging. I kept the boxes, collapsed in a storage box. But the plastic blister packaging...I let other people convince me to toss it. And honestly, I thought---I KNEW I needed to overcome my hoarding problem and I KNOW that I'm too shy, anxious, and lazy to go through any kind of selling process, so I HAVE ALWAYS ended up just keeping everything I already have. I KNEW I would never sell even the Nendoroids I didn't completely love. And honestly, everything eventually comes in handy! So why do I still feel bad for spending money on them? I would have felt worse for not. I always feel worse for not buying something than for buying something. Because everything always eventually comes in handy. And it's not like they're characters I hate. Kiso, Shoukaku, Onodera, Yuri, Victor,...I like their characters, even if I'm not completely obsessed to justify $50 on each of them. And I don't absolutely regret even characters I barely know, like Kuuro, Akaashi, Chuuya, Ushio, Izetta, Annelotte, etc.. And Nendos I have of characters I don't even know, like Iowa, Kurisu, Seishiro, Sora/Shiro, Tina, Kuroyukihime, Aoba Naruko, etc....It's not like I hate them. They're still Nendoroids, and Nendoroids are still cute. Additionally, they're parts are still modular and very useful. Like, I would have considered selling my Kurisu Makise and Yuri Katsuki Nendos, if it wasn't for the fact that their faceplates and wardrobes have proven SO good for other characters in my collection that I prefer to do photoshoots of. And let's face it: I AM too anxious to sell figures. I'm too anxious to do online transactions and back when I did swap meets, I got harassed so much that I'm just turned off from ever doing them again.

I guess the only thing I can do is make more money to cover my upcoming preorders and try really hard not to order characters I barely know from now on. ...Even though I've been saying that last half for years now. x_______x;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;

Now I have to consider adopting a policy of passing up preordering figures of characters I do know and like, if they are not my absolute obsessions. Like, Aqa and Kairi. I know them; I like them. Hell, Aqua used to be one of my favorite cosplays! But now I have to consider that maybe I don't love them enough to the heights of obsession, enough to buy their Nendoroids. ...All because I wasted money on figures like Bayonetta instead.

Ugh. Am I back to my mental starting point? Did I circle back? Am I just thinking in circles? Is this just being anxious?

Or did I decide something useful? Like skipping KH3 Nendo Kairi, to hold out hope for KH2 Nendo Kairi. I prefer her KH2 outfit and I've always preferred long hair. Maybe I should just skip KH3 Nendo Kairi. But what if I finally get around to playing that KH3 copy on my shelf, I fall in love with that version of Kairi, and I regret not getting KH3 Nendo Kairi?!? o~O?!?!??????????!

Ugh...Just anxious circles...
