There are limits to everything. We all have some line in the sand that we won't cross. Many here won't collect "sexy" pre-adolescent anime statues (self included). Many won't collect nazis or other characters who committed bad deeds in the "real" world. Many won't collect sci-fi, thinking that military figures are somehow more acceptable. Many won't collect articulated toys in general.
For me personally, the rooted hair is an issue. And I just won't sit there and style my toy's hair. It just isn't something I want to do, and I don't want that kind of thing on my shelf if possible. If you want to do that, power to you, but I'm not.
I agree that it doesn't make anyone any more or less of a geek.
Just more or less of a girl
