I'm not winding out of the hobby, I just extremely refined it. Hot Toys weren't enjoyable to me at all anymore, sold all of them save two. Wanted to try Inart, think they're a lot better than Hot Toys, but there seems to be a lot of inconsistency and don't really want to build a huge 1/6 anymore, so probably won't delve too much into that.
Never wanted or was interested in statue collecting, and yet JND came and I own 7 statues now since Fleck as a first release - first of all, they're too big to shift like a Hot Toy figure, so I don't go for releases unless I really want them, and have not even thought really, aside from WW84 due to have a double character, of selling them.
Therefore I found the version of collectibles that really is exactly what I was looking for this whole time. Combine that with being extremely selective of 'do I actually like these characters and want to keep them'. You don't need to bow out of collecting, just really prioritize and reflect a lot on which one's bring you the most joy.
I realised an aspect of this hobby that I really hate is getting a figure, and then 3-4 years later getting an updated version of the same one, I'd rather just pay more money and have one I really love that realistically won't be topped in the next decade or two.
