I'm Neo... I Love Hisoka
and to prove it here's 800+ photos of Clown Paraphernalia, categorized by origin and type.
I started collecting Hisoka stuff in 2014 and years later I still can't get enough of this guy. I really enjoy online shopping, making lists, and talking about Hisoka, which is why I decided to make this site. I'm hoping it can be of interest to anybody who likes Hisoka or collections in general. But, regardless of what you take away from this, please... just remember....... I love Hisoka.
2016
My collection was still small enough to bring everything to my old living room for pictures. At this point I was mostly focused on figures.
Also I put 28 on the cake because, at the time, his wiki page had that as his age. Later I found out his age has never been officially stated?? But I kinda love that because you can't grow older than your favorite anime character if he doesn't have a canon age.
2017
I learned how to shop on Japanese sites and it shows 😜. As a result, I expanded my collection to other officially licensed merch and some fanmade stuff. This is also the year I made a (now broken) compilation post on MFC.
I had to redo my bedroom the year before and went with pink for the walls. It was only after somebody else pointed it out that I realized it kinda looks like I chose pink because of Hisoka. I didn't, but I'm happy with the association.
2018
After buying a majority of the official merch available at the time, I spent this year focused mostly on fanmade items. Additionally, I launched my first (now inactive) site in an effort to better organize my photos.
I order his cake from the same Walmart every year and I think once I accidentally gave somebody the impression it was for my Japanese son. I share the cake with my family/friends but only if they say 'Happy Birthday Hisoka' because I think it's funny.
2019
I mostly focused on US based fan goods because importing is expensive... and because I started an additional collection to sink my money into. This year's big project was to spend a week making extremely self indulgent Hisoka MMDS.
And now I'd like to bring everybody's attention to the two Hisoka cutouts in the top center collage. They've been taped to the ceiling directly above my pillow since October 2014, shortly after I first watched episode 3 of HxH. It started as a joke between me and some friends but then I never bothered to take them down. So they just permanently live there now.
2020
This was the year the fanmade Hisoka pin economy exploded, which is very apparent in the photos. Unfortunately, this was also the year my tiny bedroom began to run out of space for all my magician memorabilia. I managed to clear enough space to compensate but it was a lengthy process. I also made a short amv for him that looks more like a blingee than something an adult woman made with video editing software. I'm very proud of it.
One of the figures in my display case was gifted a tiny sombrero, courtesy of my friend (and enabler) Hazel. I don't remember where or why I obtained the tiara on plushie Hisoka, though.
2021
I didn't like the look of my previous site so I decided to make my own amateur attempt at one instead. It took a while to set everything up but I think it was worth the effort! I like this site way more than my previous one. Though admittedly it does look sorta like a Tumblr blog theme.
Also, a friend suggested the pink and red colors for the cake and I love the way it turned out. I used to dislike red and pink color combinations, along with orange and purple, and green and yellow. But Hisoka's outfits have shown me the truth.... Thank you Hisoka.
2022
This year I spent a few weeks removing my prints and stickers from their original binders and then giving them a new home on release paper. This way, I can shift things around as my collection grows. I took the opportunity to print labels for each print/sticker with a label maker, which was very satisfying. I also aquired the Hisoka and Illumi resin statues in the first picture. They're so tall that I had to buy a new display case to keep them in.
Finally, this year's cake is based on Hisoka's outfit during the Yorknew arc. I'm not sure how well that comes across, though. Either way, the real stars of this year's festivities are the tiny party hats I made for the Hisoka and Illumi statues.
2023
I bought a larger display case for my figures & a separate bookcase for my fanbooks. I also moved my poster sized prints to a portfolio thing so I could make better use of wall space. Which was a good call... except I hate rearranging charms. So I procrastinated on moving my cork tiles for those until the day of my boy's birthday.
I referenced Hisoka's first outfit for the cake colors. I'm not usually a fan of blue or yellow but, as usual, Hisoka makes both of them work. I'm starting to run out of outfits, though >____>
