A collecting panel about building a collection around one favorite character rather than trying to acquire everything. The presenters discussed how character collecting gives a collector a clear theme, a manageable search strategy and a way to compare items across toy lines, countries, formats and decades. The panel covered common character-collection categories such as action figures, packaging variations, food premiums, printed material, foreign releases and odd licensed products. It also looked at how focused collecting can still become surprisingly deep, especially for major characters with decades of merchandise.
