The England Plush is the hardest, the second-most expensive piece and also, the most recent addition to my collection. It was the first Hetalia item that I wanted-- if I had to keep only one Hetalia piece, it would have been this one (although that has changed since then, see 3rd picture below). It's such a cutie. Unfortunately, I will be bringing two kitties to my home and based on my experience, they will probably gnaw its head off. Which is quite a shame since I don't like keeping it in its box.
If you notice, England is sitting on top of the Prussia bandana- the bonus item that came with the anime S3 volume, which is tucked away at the side. The S3 DVD box set gave me the least headache in terms of shipping. I never had to worry about theft and I could just sit and wait for the FedEx man to arrive. Plus, it came with free shipping. ^^
The OCFs weren't as hard to obtain as I expected since I had the unusual luck of being at the right time and place. Initially, I thought England and America were missing something and I decided to add Canada to complete the set. I think it looks great but considering that I'm running low on cash, I would be happy to just keep Canada alone.
The Arte Stella book is in the background. It is the most expensive piece by far.
The UK stik poster was the first piece in my collection. I know I said that the England plush was the first Hetalia item that I wanted but I consider this poster to be the best piece in my entire collection.
I do have a few doujinshi but I regret buying most of them so I won't show them here. I am fond of this one, however. It's hard to find a UK-US family centric piece and one with Sealand to boot! The artwork and the storyline is simple but lovely.
If you haven't realized by now, my intention was to collect England-only pieces. But obviously, that didn't work. I'm planning on weeding my collection in the future. I do like the markers but they gave me a headache since I lost my pencil case. The ones you see are the replacements.
I do have a lot more Hetalia posters but this is my second-favorite next to the UK stik poster.
