Wala naman akong ibang bisyo,” he said in jest. </p><p>According to the OPM icon, his enthusiasm for action figures is sparked by his collection of comic books, particularly the Marvel comics. </p><p>“Ang collection ko kasi more on comic books. Secondary na lang yung toys pero kagaya nung Marvel, lahat yun because I&#x27;m a big Marvel comic fan. Yun ang collection ko talaga,” he shared.</p><figure class="op-interactive"><iframe height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/rWaXWrnjVdA?enablejsapi=1" width="560"></iframe></figure><div class="iwantbar">Watch more in <a href="//www.iwantv.com.ph/">iWantv</a> or <a href="//tfc.tv/">TFC.tv</a></div><p>“Kumbaga kapit-kamay na ‘yung passion ko for them. Kaya tuwang-tuwa ako nung dumating yung Marvel Cinematic Universe nung nagkaroon ng movie na Iron Man, Thor, Captain America, Avengers. Nakakatuwa kasi yun yu ng mga kinokolekta ko.”</p><p>Due to his massive haul of comic books and toys, Volante created a catalog for the items he already has so he could track everything. </p><p>“Mayroon akong listahan. Nandoon lahat ng information, pictures nila. Minsan in my free time, tuloy-tuloy lang, catalog lalo na sa comics. Ongoing kasi yung collection ko dun. Mas mabilis yung galawan ng comic books,” the singer explained. </p><p>While he cannot give an specific amount for all of his collections, Volante said some of his pieces have increased its price. </p><figure class="op-interactive"><iframe height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/qEqIkVEzbXE?enablejsapi=1" width="560"></iframe></figure><div class="iwantbar">Watch more in <a href="//www.iwantv.com.ph/">iWantv</a> or <a href="//tfc.tv/">TFC.tv</a></div><p>Volante said some vintage items he purchased for as low as P250 have gone up to a whopping P100,000. </p><p>But value is only secondary to the singer as his main motivation in collecting is to make his heart happy. </p><p>“Gusto ko lang pasayahin ‘yung puso ko. Most of what I have right here, comics, toys, are things that matter to me. It’s not necessarily ‘yung pinakamahal o pinaka-rare. Wala ako masyado nun. It’s more of kasi ito ‘yung kinalakihan ko. Ito yung mga items na kilala ko,” he revealed.</p>
