Re: Toy Collection Software?
I dunno. Honestly, I think "toy collecting" is too broad of a category to have any standard fields that you can fill up. As far as I can tell, it's much simpler with comics.
Look at TFs: even the naming of size-classes has changed over the years, and they differ between Hasbro and Takara lines as well.
Imagine all the different fields that would be required to span all the variations in the gazillion toylines that anyone might collect? Here's me looking at the toys that I have out right now on my desk:
- Bandai's Gundam Fix Figuration Metal Composite O-Gundam ACD (online exclusive)
- Bandai's Metal Builds 00-Gundam S7
- Max Factory's Max Gokin Godannar Twin Drive mode
- Max Factory's Figma KOS-MOS ver.4
- TFA Rodimus
- Revoltech ARX-8 Levaetein
Not very many "common" elements between the batch... so an application that could help sort this is very hard to develop and plan out efficiently.
Plus, with Comic Collector 5, they have a partnership with Diamond Comics, so the application has a pretty central database to get its data from. It might even have entries for manga that's been released in North America, but I'm sure it wouldn't have entries for the manga that I get imported from Japan...
