How'd your sibling would treat your figure?
Note: pics does not relate to the topic on what I've typed in.
To those that have a brother or sister (regardless of being older or younger than you are) How would they treat your figure? Well I got one younger brother that's 17 and one sister that's 21. My older sister respects all on what I get and such. She's not into anime stuff at all, but she is supportive on my hobby a bit. And my younger brother is the same way not liking anime too much, but he does seem to watch Naruto and a few more that are commonly known in the US, but not alot. His hobby is playing the guitar (both electric and acoustic) and playing FPS games most of the time (GT: jtea1043. bash him if you want). He is also an inconsiderate jerk who doesn't respect what I like or correct him on. An example of this is when I was Assassin's Creed Brotherhood today when he wasn't home, I brought in my figma Azusa into my brother's room (The 360 is always in my brother's room and one of the reasons why you don't see the 360 in my room [I'd like to have a 360 of my own]) since I really don't like alot of the stuff he has in there. When I finished playing Brotherhood for the day, I headed back in my room and forgot to get Azusa too and when my brother got home and in his room, he just threw her out of his room (still, my fault for forgetting to bring her back in my room but no excuse on what he did) like it was a common kids toy. I really do hate idiots like that, but he was a rude type of person, even back then as a kid. So what do you guys think? Let me hear your thoughts about it and tell me something similar to what I said if you want.
Man that's really harsh. ESPECIALLY to a figma. That's pretty hard but he'll probably soon accept your hobby. But as for the question at hand, my older sister actually at one point was posing one of my figmas in funny poses and looked pretty amused. She really doesn't care about my hobby and grew up with anime just like me (Sailor Moon, Pokemon, Miyazaki films etc.)
Well it wasn't too serious, but still, the least he could do is just put it outside properly without the need to throw it outside (though it wasn't too rough. But still...).
You sound like one of my friends. Here is what I tell him "Are you just going to do something about it or just complain?". Personally, I have no idea why you even bought Azusa over since you know how your brother is.
My 15 year old little brother is fine. In our family, we are not raised to be jerks. I know similar kinds of people to your brother and I simply do not let them near my figures, whether they are a relative or not.
Family or not, that's an unrespectful dickmove to do. I bet he wouldn't be happy if you treat his stuff the same way.
Luckily my family is raised more politeful. My one sibling knows about the stuff I love, sometimes doesn't care much about it but at least treat my stuff respectfully. I kinda like it though when I come back to my room and my figures have new funny moves. My other sibling is still quite young and actually just want to play with everything, I have to remind them often to not touch it since they're not normal playtoys.
I don't own many figures, but my younger sister do joke about selling my small collection, lol
But everyone in my family doesn't care, and leaves my collection alone. Even I leave my collection alone, leave them on display 24/7.
My older sister just gets mad at me for using her paypal too much to buy figurines, but she doesn't really care about the figurines themselves.
My other sis who's one year above me supports my hobby (but she doesn't support me slurging). She also likes to play with my Prof. Layton revoltech and she makes a lot of funny poses xD
I'd proberly get mad too if someone else other than me used my paypal account if they bought something through it. And my older cousin did the same thing too to my Kagura figma in a funny pose.
Nah, my sis let me, but then she said I bought too much stuff, then she banned me x(
And funny as in a good way.
Buying figures in my country is really really luxury that not many can do. My collection is not big but enough for people around who know about these things respect my hobby and my right since i have to work for it. They only view mine in the glass cases.
My sises and bros like them as i sometimes buy for them Nendoroids or a petit set. However, they dont play those but keep in boxes instead. Such a waste.
I would be mad if im in your case though.
My Sister knows my hobby but i was lucky that all my collections (Games,Figures,Playboy mags.Etc) are hidden in my friends hideout & some of my private collection are hidden in a basement w/ a hard coded vault..treasure isn't it?
I have an older brother. He's not exactly "into" anime, but he just watches whatever I watch. He knows my figures don't belong to him, so he doesn't even touch them. The only "toys" he fiddles around with are my transformers(He has permission to mess around with them), which are usually much more sturdier than figures generally.
I'm the same age as your brother, but that is something I would never do. Maybe he doesn't understand the value of these figures to you, but to him, it's probably just another toy. I would tell you to sit down and talk to him, but knowing how teenagers can be sometimes, he probably still won't understand.
The important thing is for you to tell him how to treat other people's belongings, as well as setting firm rules about what he's allowed to do with your stuff. If your words still don't get through to him, then he might have some personality issues.
My sibling don't care much for anime but know I treasure my figures so they handle them with care.
My siblings don't even dare touch my loot cos they know how expensive it is and I will beat them up and extort cash outta them if they ever break it.
My family thankfully handles them nicely if they ever do hold them and they are usually scared to pose in fear that a joint might break or something might fall off and they know I spent a great deal of money on them so they know that it isn't something you can throw around like a toy.
You should tell your bro that your hobby is like his hobby of playing guitar and how would he like it if for some reason he left his guitar in your room and you just threw it out of your room with no consideration. I mean if your considerate enough not to do that to his stuff he should respect your stuff as well.
My Younger Brother 17 would prob man handle my figures and break it so am happy I don't live with my parent. My other brother and sisters all older wouldn't touch they respect what is mine and would ask before touching ^_^
Well, I have a younger sister around 19. Basically she doesnt mind all my figures and she does handle them with care cause I keep telling her how expensive they were =x And your bro shouldnt had done that, the least he could do is just return her to you nicely.
i have an older sister who is somewhat into anime, but doesnt watch many nowadays (she's in the Navy, so she's often pretty busy). she does like Haruhi though and i even bought her a Haruhi figma for Christmas. she doesnt really touch any of my figures though, but is allowed to if she feels like it.
I'd have a long talk with him about respecting other peoples stuff before somebody beats it into his skull. People tend to let family members get away with behavior that could get them badly hurt or even killed out in the world so its a good idea to discuss bad behavior at home before it can get someone in trouble
My older brother is okay with anime, but he would never admit to a random stranger that he thinks it's okay. He's watch Hellsing, Neon Genesis Evangelion, Azumanga Daioh ( I forced him to watch that with me! :), and of our childhood animes ( Pokemon, Sailor Moon, Dragon ball, Dragon ball Z ) . He's doesn't mishandle my figurines, but I also don't mishandle his bass stuff, so I call it even! ;D My older brother doesn't really like how much money I spend on all my anime stuff and he often wonders why i love it, but he still isn't a big jerk! ^w^
My family make fun of me for my figures all the time, but my parents don't tolerate my siblings abusing my figures. My older brother, 17, will make inappropriate poses, but that's the only bad thing. My little sister and bro will actually play with me and think figmas are cool xD
yknow....CAin was probably right about Abel.
But seriously though, my collection is hands off. You touch it and there will be a stern talking to.
my brother broke my first nendoroid. but shes fine now :D
I have a twin brother and he likes manga and a bit of anime, but he's not into collecting figures. I guess he's alright with my hobby, but lol, when I started my Figma collection 1 1/2 year ago, when I got a new figma he was like " (-_-") YOU GOT MORE!?"
But my parents are completely fine with my hobby. Sometimes my mom comes in my room and looks at my display of figures. Sweet, sweet parents.
I hate to break it to ya, but my younger brother, of 5 years, is also crazily into figma...
^_^;
sorry to hear about your azunyan, well, i treasure my figmas, i would be furious if someone did that to my azunyan.
my sisters never touch my figures, theyre not fond of the figures anyway. i would feel upset when someone play with my figures and make strange unnatural poses. playing with them is ok but play them with love.
My two younger siblings are actually both also into anime (I have no idea if it's due to me always gushing about it or not, lol.) My little sister is more into it than my younger brother though. My sister sometimes poses the figures funnily, and is constantly complaining that she's too young to ask friends for them because she doesn't want people to know about her obsession (lol!) I wouldn't trust my brother for a mile near them though, he's constantly taking things apart and trying to put them together. I'm going to visit my boyfriend late October and I'm putting them back into their boxes and hiding them. :(
