What criteria do you pic your figures?

Right now its pretty much anything I want and can afford. The only rule I have is that I only buy things I've seen the show/played the game/whatever.

Have you ever paid for something KNOWING it is bad just to review it?

Nope, can't afford be that choosy at the moment Although I do show reviews on my blog too, and have both Power Rangers Turbo and Masked Rider reviews planned for the near future. I'm not paying, but I'm still putting myself through them.

How does your family, spouse, BF, GF or room mate feel about you doing all this?

My parents don't really have an opinion, although my Dad (who's a big comics/sci-fi geek himself) often comments on how he can see that my Japanese figures are much better than Western ones. My girlfriend encourages it, mainly because she does it herself She doesn't do reviews, but she's a big Figma/Nendoroid collector and does a lot of photoshoots for her tumblr.

last but not least...how do you afford your stockpile?

Not very well at the moment! I'm in the middle of looking for a full time job at the moment so I'm not really getting many figures at the moment. What I am getting is mostly coming from Transformers and various other bits I've been selling on ebay.
