Sideshow Featured Collector Charles Lim

I started collecting Japanese Manga when I was 7 years old, then onto figures in year 2010. Same as most collectors I want memorabilia based on movies and mangas that I love. When I started collecting I realized these are not just typical toys, but each figure is comprised by all these intricate elements in 1/6 scale, making it as accurate as possible to the real life characters. Due to this I could never quit.

I collect mostly 1/6 and 1/12 scale articulated figures, always preferring poseability for more diverse display options. I don’t have a specific theme, I just buy what intrigues me.

My figures are displayed in a space I called Zen Room, a space where I find peace after hustle bustle work life. In addition to collectible figures from Sideshow, Hot Toys, Enterbay, Dam Toys, and Star Ace, I also purchase handmade custom figures from artists too.

Some of these art pieces (yes I call them art pieces, because I can feel the skill and passion instilled) were so well made even 10 years ago, I think they still overshadow some of the figures made today.
