Colligerem - On Collecting Hetalia Items

[toar-project.livejournal.com]

Are you an avid collector? Do you sometimes lose track of what you already have in your search for the new? If so, then Colligerem.com wants you! :D

Colligerem is site built to help peeps keep track of their collections, and looking for some people willing and able to curate the Hetalia collection. (Of course, if you're more interested in just keeping tabs on your personal Hetalia collection, that's awesome too~)

Being a curator is simple. Basically, all you do is add items (ideally with a description and related tags). That's pretty much it...

I've started the Hetalia set, adding some of the manga and artbooks, but the CLAMP collection page is sucking all my lifeforce. D: Also, very soon (or so the web peeps tell me), a filtering/search system will be in place, with further modifications on the way after.

Also, also, if anyone would like to start another collection, that's awesome too.

Thanks! C:

(mods: Oh dear god, I hope I followed the posting and tagging rules right. OTL Please let me know if I've totally failed and I'll fix things as soon as possible!)

;w; S-so,
My Figure Collection (http://myfigurecollection.net/search.php?origin_strict=1&origin_id=415) but smaller?

I can't really offer to help with everything else I've got going on, but you can find a ton of stock photos to use both there and at Animate (http://www.animate-onlineshop.jp/products/list.php?t=n&smt=%E3%83%98%E3%82%BF%E3%83%AA%E3%82%A2&sl=20&sl=80)~

Seems a bit similar to MyFigureCollection, but focuses on other merchandise items. I will join this since I am a Hetalia collector myself and wary of bootlegs.

Oh-ho... I'll have to share that site with the higher up peeps. Thanks, though, for linking it. :D

Also, no worries~ It seems like it's a busy time for everyone about now. aha

Honestly, I'd never heard of MyFigureCollection before, so thanks for bringing it to my attention! Also, thank you for any and all help! :)

;w; It's a great place. You can mark things as wanted, ordered, or owned, can check off how many copies you own, and submit as many user photos as you want. On top of that, you can subscribe to series or characters, and the site emails you every time a new item's added for them.
The only downside I've seen is you can't customize the way your items show up on the page without a paid account @__@


But yeah, I've just got so many group orders to focus on instead :'D
Plus, back when I was writing up this same kind of thing, it really turned out to be wasted effort, since nobody in this fandom actually wanted one.
So I guess if you want more information on stuff, I do still have a lot here (http://hetaliaitemguide.wikinet.org/wiki/Special:AllPages)-- it's just missing all the 2013 items.

Zomg, thanks D: You're all kinds of awesome. *bow* Like, seriously, thanks :D I'm definitely checking out the link :3

Kinda weird, though, on the general apathy. Maybe I'm weird, but I kinda wanna show off what I have collected. XD I spent time on this! XDD

No problem. When it comes to the one coin figures, I have to make sure people are aware of the peg bootlegs when the authentic ones are magnetic poles. Same can be said about the Movic plush dolls. Which is why it's best to be informative on what they look like.

MFC is a good website that is active and updates on merchandise and what bootlegs are out. You can also create clubs and groups that is dedicated to anything they wish it to be. Favorite anime series, brands of figures, or a club that can do group orders of any kind. There's also reviews of shops and websites if you want to buy something online, but need some feedback and reviews to make sure it's reliable.

Yeaaah, as much as I wish it were, it's not a really collection-driven fandom, sadly. ;~;
I mean, myself included I can think of maybe eight people, total, who even display their Hetalia items online, outside of sales posts.
It doesn't mean nobody else has a collection, obviously, but, it does imply there aren't that many people looking to show off their stuff...

O hai awesomeness!

Also, your icon is the best. Just in case you didn't already know. :D
