Have you ever kept merch of something that you're not a fan of anymore?

[fairysyndrome]

i still have the preorder box sets & the merch that came with them for danganronpa + sdr2 that i got in 2014, but i havent been interested in the series in 4-5 years and have by this point come to actively dislike it

Guilty. I worked at the theatre, and acquired many of posters there, from all genres, and even though some a dont like, I still have them

I also still have the hundreds of Webkinz I had as a child, Me, and my sister agreed that we could never let them go. Though im not a big fan anymore. The new Webkinz is cursed, and I haven't played it in years.

I own a CTR Crash Bobblehead (Which was a pre-order bonus) by pre-ordering CTRNF. I'm not even the biggest fan of Crash Bandicoot, though I only got the game because of my love with kart racing games.

(Is that game still active? I thought after the huge update in March it died along with the community.)

Not really I sell the stuff I don’t want or need

 

[Alienfish]

I did way back with some console/handheld/game stuff bit eventually sold off most of it or gave away for the better part.

And yeah I do have an Umbreon plushie for the sake of it being my fave but I don't really play much and idk why I kept it

A Harry Potter hoodie. Haven't read or watched anything about HP in 8 years but the hoodie still fit until recently. I'm not a merch person myself, mostly because I fear spending a lot on something I'm gonna hate in a few years.
Also I don't know if it counts but two years ago in my birthday I was gifted a Sailor Moon figurine. I've never watched or read Sailor Moon or claimed to do so but the person who gave it to me said I look like a Sailor Moon fan. Don't know what to think of that lmao. The figurine is very pretty so I keep it. No one can say I'm a poser if I wasn't the one who bought it

yeah, like i have a black aot hoodie i had gotten from the mall once and still wear sometimes even though my interest in the show/manga is pretty much zero at this point.

Yes, my life is a cycle of getting obsessed with something for 2ish years, getting a bunch of merch and then eventually losing interest - a kind of recent example would be Hamilton (the musical). I bought a physical copy of the album, ordered a t-shirt from Broadway, and my mom bought me this giant collector's book about the musical as a gift. I still have all these things even though I'm not really into it anymore, mostly because they cost money and I'd feel bad getting rid of them lol

 

[Dunquixote]

Yeah. I’ll just talk about one for now. I liked only a few of the Fate series - Fate/Zero and Unlimited Blade Works and Fate Extella was a terrible game (in my opinion), but I kept it. I had a feeling I wouldn’t like it (but expected the story and dialogue to be a bit better than it was), but yeah . I liked the goodies that came with the version I got and still do inspite not being impressed with the characters personalities aside from the ones from Fate Stay Night & Fate/Zero.

hamilton is amazing, we stan hamilton, im not even from the us but oh well

 

[Mr_Persona]

I have barbie movies still xD And l'm not a big fan of every barbie related stuff. I like the dolls but that's it. Actually l think l will get rid of the movies because l've been cleaning out stuff.

 

[frogslime]

I have this t-shirt from this one worship band. I was never really a fan of them anyway, I just thought the design was cool.
I also have kept these old activity books from YouTubers like Stampy and AmyLee33. I don't watch them anymore but it's nice to look back at and also make for good objects to write on.
Aaand quite a bit of Harry Potter stuff even though I have no interest in it anymore.

I’ve got a K-on! and Nisekoi anime statue I’ve been putting off selling since I just don’t have that same attachment anymore. Probably can handout some books I’ll never read again to a LFL or something too.

 

[TheMagicIf]

I have a Supernatural clock that was made from a record. I feel weird donating it, even though I'll probably never put it up again. It was a gift though, given to me way back when I was a fan of it. It'd be easier to rid myself of it if it was something I never liked, but I suppose it's just me being sentimental.

 

[LadyDestani]

I may not actively follow something anymore, but if I liked it at one time I never really stop liking it. I just move on to new things. So I still like all of the merchandise I have even if I'm not currently watching, reading, listening to, or following the whatever it's from.

 

[Cirice]

I have a young McGucket plush from Gravity Falls that I got custom made, I keep it as fans are rare so I'm not sure I can part with it anyway

 

[sleepydreepy]

I don't really buy merch, but if I do and I am not a fan of whatever the merch is of anymore then no I don't keep it.

 

[nightglow]

I do. The memories are positive and if I am not into something any more, it is usually because the franchise some how changed. But the older part of whatever franchise still exists. So I just think of it as, well I really like this part/time period of this franchise or the concept of whatever.

 

[Dunquixote]

I still have star wars toys. I honestly wish my dad sold those if he had to sell any of my stiff without asking me and not my power ranger stuff.

 

[Princess Mipha]

It really depends on what it is. For example, I was a huge League of Legends Nerd and bought tons of things from it.
I sold most of it for more than I paid, because LoL fans pay anything, if it's not available anymore, apparently.
However, I still have a T-Shirt and a figure of it, because I really like how it looks and just because I don't like LoL anymore,
doesn't mean I don't have to dislike the look of it!
