Answering the #1 question I get asked..."How do you afford collecting statues?!" Collecting Naruto / Anime statues can be a very expensive hobby for sure but it's one that I've committed myself to for many years.
I take great joy in collecting, showcasing and unboxing Naruto Shippuden / Pokemon / Bleach / Demon Slayer / etc statues and I hope you enjoy this more behind the scenes at my journey as a collector!

❓❓❓☑️ For those interested...my full time job is a contract manager at an industrial gas company. We sell stuff like Nitrogen, Oxygen, Argon, Helium in large quantities to production/medical companies. I manage relationships with our customers keeping them happy and signing the contract to keep doing business with us. To also answer the question yes I do consider myself blessed with this good job but I DO NOT use my income to buy statues, I have not done that for the duration of my marriage, nearing 10 years now. I use what's called my "Hobby Fund" from money I make buying and selling collectibles.

I'm only 14... When lockdown started, I took up eBay retailing as a hobby and made a few thousand USD off of it. I have since kinda let up on it and stopped. However, recently getting back into Naruto for the first time in a few years has led me to start buying some manga volumes on eBay. As I buy these impulsively, I see my bank balance steadily dropping. It's the worst feeling since my balance is not increasing; only decreasing. But whatever, I've been shrugging it off and convincing myself that I'm gonna stop soon. But, who am I kidding, there's no way I'm stopping. And my reawakened love for Naruto has led me to your channel. This video has inspired me to start reselling things on eBay, and I can't thank you enough for the little inspirational kick in the butt to get back up and running again. Sincerely, thank you!

This inspired me so much as a manga collector. My parents never really cared about what I read (unless it was far beyond my age group, stuff that is one or two years ahead of me is fine because I am mature for my age) and I started taking an interest in manga after reading yotsuba, however, my dad would make me buy my own manga because I get allowance, my mom on the other hand used to let me pick out manga and she would pay for it. However, she stopped because I read too fast and she saw it as too expensive of a hobby. Now, I usually save up a couple weeks worth of allowance and then buy a couple mangas but even so, I struggle because of COVID and I suck at online shopping and have terrible luck with it as well. Thanks for giving me tips, might go sell my old Pokémon cards now.

More videos like this would be great, actually. Knowing who your personal favorite characters from Naruto are could be a good topic, or what could've been the alternatives to a Naruto collection on the channel might also be interesting to go over. I do love this channel, though, and you were right to jump on the opportunity for it because it really is a great niche to be filled by someone, which I do think you're probably the best-- or at least one of the very best on here for. Got my first statue ever because of the advertisement for it on this channel, and might get one of Lille Barro that I know will be made once the Bleach anime returns, and the hype around it is at its pinnacle if I have the funds. Knowing how you manage the prices is interesting. I wonder, if you had to replace all your statues with statues of a different series now, what series would that be?
