This weeks question: What is less embarrassing when bringing a hot date home?
A: Your amazing plastic model collection or B: Your amazing action figure collection.
Luckly for me the girl im interested in loves anime and really likes it when I show her my models or share my anime. So the models are less embarrassing
Either one is probably equal but at least you can say you had to assemble the Gunpla as opposed to just collecting a massive He-Man collection. Most girls think they are all toys or dolls anyway. LOL
I had one of my friends see my models for the first time and tell me that I can never show girls my room hahahah. Though usually people see my kits and say its awesome.
I’d say action figures are more embarrassing. An Action figure collection might suggest you’re still a big kid (though aren’t we all really) and that you’re one of those nerds that reads comics and argues about which superhero would beat who.
A model kit collection would suggest you have a hobby, specifically building…[Read more]
It depends on what kind of figures and what kind of models. I think something like a Walking Dead figure would be more acceptable than a Gundam model, but a model airplane or tank would be more acceptable than a Ben 10 figure or something. Also, honestly, if you’re dating someone who’s not a geek they probably wouldn’t think much of a…[Read more]
Most people call my models Transformers and think they are figures.
I think I agree with what Syd said in the show. With a model you are showing off your creativity and creating a talking point which can take the pressure off and help reduce the nerves that both parties are feeling. Perhaps you can even score some points for being an artist.…[Read more]
In my experience building models are more acceptable than collecting action figures. When people hear that I collect figures they are turned off by it, but when they actually see my collection they are amazed by it.
As seems to be the unanimous choice, I think an amazing plastic model collection is less embarrassing. 1. You may score points for artistry and craftsmanship. 2. You are showing you have commitment!
I don’t think that it should embarrassing no matter what you collect, you shouldn’t care about it if it’s something that you really enjoy doing or collecting. I get a lot of shit from everyone except my girlfriend about collection both figures and models. But I don’t let it get to me because this is something that I enjoy doing, and I think that’s…[Read more]
Depend on what kind of action figure. I only collect the cool looking ones and the ones with a ‘story’ that I know. You can buy action figure and everyone can buy it. But when it comes to Gundam, it is one of a kind. So it is less “embarrassing” from my opinion.
I feel like model collection is less embarrassing, simply because it takes artistic ability and patience to work and produce a good model kit. The more artsy of a girl, more likely than not, the more they can appreciate it (therefore not embarrassing at all). Action figures are sort of different, as you’re not participating in anything except…[Read more]
I found the girl… Married the girl… then brought my “Fig’s & Models” out of the closet. Lol
In my circle of friends, both are accepted and appreciated for there worth.
But to answer the question. (A) would be the way to go!
Hello guys, this question is a funny one, not a lot of girls are in to our hobby, be it kit building or collecting the toys, however my buddys wife is just into gundam as we are and they both have kits all over the house. My girlfriend doesnt understand them yet but loves that I can build them, and we sit and build them together, people who dont…[Read more]
