Hey gang,I thought this could lead to an interesting discussion with so many new members on-board since I've joined the scene. This question is not meant to imply one collection direction is better than the other. I'm just curious to know what you think when you look around your rooms.Do you consider yourself a "Mask Collector" or a "Character Replica Collector"?By "mask collector" I just mean masks in general... pieces based on original artist concepts. "Character Replica Collector"... well is just that. You want a 3D version of some of your favorite film characters. Maybe you fit into both categories.I consider myself a 'Character replica collector". Looking at all of the pieces in my collection they are based on specific characters from films. I am such a huge fan of movies (with horror being my favorite genre) I think it's just my way of bringing myself even closer to the film, and nostalgia plays a big part for me as well.But don’t get me wrong... I very much enjoy looking at original pieces and I can appreciate the work and dedication that goes into making them <img src=\"style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/thumbsup.gif\" style=\"vertical-align:middle\" emoid=\":thumbsup:\" border=\"0\" alt=\"thumbsup.gif\" /> .... and you?
