fc_deanThis is my near complete Gintama collection.
Personally, I'd call it a complete collection since all characters are there and then some.
In general, my policy in collecting figures are by series. I mean I tend to collect all figures from a series.
Generally, I tend to dislike collecting just female figures. I am not saying I dislike girls, but I favor a healthy ratio between males & females when figures are displayed.
Of course, I have to like a series to begin with.
They are displayed in a display unit. Gintama figures have taken the entire unit.
I am really sad that Megahouse did not produce Tae and Shinpachi. While I understand that both of them have fairly low popularity, they are crucial to the series.
On a positive side, Banpresto has Shinpachi at least.
I also wanted Sadaharu but there is no figure for him. However, there is Sadaharu piggy bank which is almost like a figure, so I grabbed it. There are also Sadaharu pillows & cushions but they are way too big.
So, I settled on that Sadaharu piggy bank model.
I'd like to mention that the Souko figure has her skirt cast off. She's ... pretty sexy.
And I have a habit of placing Sougo behind Hijikata. He's ready to strike him down.
And that Gintoki sweet tooth is my favorite version of Gintoki. It's by Banpresto and is 1/7 scale (loosely speaking). Thus, it fits well compared to other Banpresto's Gintama figures.
And finally I have Banpresto Gintama figures on bottom along with Gintama voice thingies.
At first, I began with Banpresto Gintama figures because I felt Megahouse versions were too expensive.
Mind you that I was just getting into figure collecting at that time and had no idea of how expensive figures could get.
I was happy with Banpresto figures until I managed to grab Megahouse Gintoki off Ebay for mere 25 bucks brand new. When I got him, opened the box, and inspected the figure, I realized the quality gap was huge.
And so began my journey of collecting Megahouse Gintama figures.
It'd take too long to individually list prices I paid for each figures, so I will make it short.
The most expensive Megahouse Gintama figure was Kamui & Souko both at 150USD.
The most inexpensive Megahouse Gintama figure was Gintoki at 25USD.
Everything else falls inbetween.
It took around 2 and half years to collect all of these by the way.

My apologies. I read "merch" as "mecha" for some odd reasons.
My figure photographs take long terms planning for each of them because I need to collect specific props for each scene. You can actually keep track of my plans and what I plan to do at my blog, figurine.club/b...
Mecha? Uhh my post didn't say anything about mecha?
I also wish there were Tae and Shinpachi scale figures! It is surprising since Shinpachi is part of the main trio. (I also someday hope for Tama and Sacchan scales)
I still need to get Kamui ver.2 ITEM #359297 before my collection is complete ;-; and if they bring out any more figures of Sougo or Kamui I'm screwed XD
Despite MegaHouse's quality sometimes being iffy I think the Gintama figures are really nice. Sougo ITEM #189855 and Souko ITEM #359296 are my favourites <3 (and you're right with Souko being sexy, she's so beautiful)
I tend to collect just one figure per character but Gintama, especially Gintoki, has been an exception.
I really wish or hope that Tae and Shinpachi will become available in 1/8 scale.
Tama in 1/8 scale would also be ... tearfully great as well.
I liked collecting Gintama figures because there is a healthy ratio of males to females.
Just curious though, you say near complete, but I thought Gintama had a lot of merch to it? Do you skip out a lot of the trading figures and other misc stuff, or do you plan to add those to your collection as well? I could be wrong though, and be seeing almost everything and not realize it.
Nope, there is no mecha in the series.

I'm jealous ! ;)
It's the first time I saw Gintoki sweet tooth ! He's really nice ! °A°
I've already too much figure of him (Ok it's impossible to have too much figure XD) but I'd like to get it too !
Do you know which entry on the site it is ?
