Let's see your collection from as far back as you can recall versus the present day! I'm really interested in seeing how everyone's collection has grown.
I'll start with the earliest photo I took of my small collection.

It's sort of a good feel since I can't put more than 3 things on my desk and I don't want an autism shelf. Hell I don't think I still have anything from when I started.

Dont remember ever bothering to take a full picture back then. But it was essentially this. 2 Pacific Rim Neca's and everyone's favourites, Figma Link, Revo Woody and a Robot Spirits, Hyaku Shiki. Good ole shitty bachelor apt life.
>>5729113
Guess Ill post the update of this later because half of my collection is out of it's detolfs for summer glass cleaning.
So here's a conundrum /toy/... Given the lack of space to display figures, would you rather:
A. Display more figures but with generic space saving neutral hero poses
B. Display less figures, but with dynamic poses on each
>>5730839
The latter, undoubtedly. The former is the definition of clusterfuck and provides a very loud announcement to the world that you have a mental disability.
>>5726543
can you take more pictures of the pak, im on the fence about him and would like to have more in hand pics.

Don't listen to the haters I think it looks good bb :^)
A lot of it still needs work for the backdrops. This is the only shelf I have on display.
>>5731915
This currently sits atop my computer desk.
>>5731947
What are those figures on the center and right?
As always, your displays are super interesting and refreshing. I don't think I have the attention span to keep figures like that myself, so I live vicariously through you.
>>5731952
Thanks! They're just cheap customs I cobbled together for my hunters as adversaries. The left was built from a White Walker and the right from Black Series Kylo Ren after I used his hood for the figuarts.
>>5731947
Can we get closer pics of each individual piece - i love diorama sets and i'm interested in tiny details.
>>5731985
Sure. First one was an experiment with plaster and damaged plastic fodder. It's just a rock wall with old toys buried under it.

This one is still unfinished. I've yet to finalize a theme for it, but the dresser ended up looking a little ominous and a lot like a Chinese burial shrine? So I stuck Sadako there.

Sick displays, Anon! I'm especially fond of the zen garden-looking one and the restaurant.
>>5732004
This is so great! Can you buy lamps that light up like that, or did you have to make that yourself? Also that tiny snowglobe is killing me. It's adorable.

I feel like you could use some printed backdrops. As is, the wooden shelf is very dark and offers very little in the way of an interesting background for your figures.
>>5732660
Is that painting an authentic piece or a copy?
>>5732834
>>5732839
>>5732840
Thanks! I'm still working out the kinks in the display to make it more dynamic. I like your collection of Chibi figurines. Didn't know they made Leagur statues either!
>>5733007
How do you cope with dust?
>>5733394
>>5733395
Lucky! I got into Bebop too late to have any great finds myself.
>>5733982
Why do you have a human skull?
>>5733987
I think it looks fine. Personally, I'd buy some cheap aquariums with LEDs and put the figures in so they can light up and remain dust free.
>>5734232
Well, at least the room looked realistic.
>>5734237
Honestly, I just build out of random parts without any thought or planning. Somehow it always ends up ok.
>>5734562
The lamps light up via coin batteries. You can get them from Dollhouse shops. The snow globe is actually a glass ball for seeing into the future/practicing the occult. Thanks for the kind words though!
Also, it's not really a Zen garden, right now it's just a display shelf for my customs and the bases I built for them.
>>5731463
CALL ME BUD ONE MORE TIME
>>5736066
Why don't YOU have a human skull? No but seriously I'm a med student so I needed it I have a complete body laying around.
I never though about it I probably do that especially the LEDs. What about detolf? is the word right?
>>5737212
Yep, a deltof is a decent option. I only recommended the aquariums if you are strapped for cash. Pet smart sells the one gallon starters with built in LEDs for 12.99 and they can fit maybe one to three (albeit tightly) 6 inch figures into them.
I'm planning on moving onto the two gallon ones for dioramas myself since they provide 360 degrees of vision and the LEDs can change to any colour you need.
So is there such thing as having too many action figures? At what point you devolve into a manchildren autist rather than a dignified and sophisticated collector?
The rule of powerlevel states that one should hide powerlevel in public. You're allowed to decorate your room sure, to give it some individuality but the rule of powerlevel still applies.
It's sad to see someone with $20,000 worth of toy collection and they're all stuffed and jammed into a mancave
>>5737712
Do whatever you want as long as it makes you happy and doesn't hurt anyone, or doesn't involve fucking animals. It's your money, your room, your life.
>>5737716
>>5737712
Ideally it would be a rotating shelf and display, so one could display different detolfs on different day or week.
Having a clutter also kind of undervalue your collection. 5x~$70 animu figma figures nicely spaced in a detolf looks more exclusive than 20 of them jammed together next to 20 marvel legends on the other shelf
>>5737928
>Ideally it would be a rotating shelf and display, so one could display different detolfs on different day or week.
>Ideally
>detolfs
lol
It's like owning a Lambo and not having an enclosed garage to park it in.
You fucking spend so much money on toys but you're too poor to own anything decent because of that.
>>5737975
Any reason it's become cool to shit on Detolfs? Is it because it's affordable or something? I guess if Detolfs costed 300 bucks, then they'd be cool again.
I can understand reprimanding someone for displaying their high end figures in static poses on some shitty hand-me-down grandma shelves or the classic cheap ass Walmart shelves. But thinking a Detolf display looks shitty? Wow...guess that make you feel better about yourself or something.
>>5737993
>Any reason it's become cool to shit on Detolfs? Is it because it's affordable or something?
It's always been shat on, newfag.
Detolfs only became popular when Ikea was selling them for $20 years ago.
>I guess if Detolfs costed 300 bucks, then they'd be cool again.
IF they cost $300, everyone would be laughing at anyone getting wobbly overpriced crap and buying something else instead.
The only reason detolfs are even popular here is because it's budget crap. Hence, spending thousands dollars on toys yet having shitty furniture because you don't actualy have money to afford anything good.
>>5738003
What do you suggest to display figures?
>>5738003
>It's always been shat on, newfag.
Actually, no it hasn't. Detolfs have been consistently recommended to collectors over shitty Walmart/Target shelves for YEARS. Get your head out of your ass on that one, bud. Unless you're talking about the few VERY VOCAL posters on /toy/ (and literally ONLY /toy).
>The only reason detolfs are even popular here is because it's budget crap.
It's popular because it's not only affordable, but actually looks good. Like I said, Walmart and Target shelves are budget crap, but are very rarely recommended. Detolfs, while admittedly not the sturdiest of choices, definitely get the job done while looking the part.
I'll second what >>5738021 said though. I have both Detolfs and Besta units with glass doors/shelves. I'm curious to see what you suggest to display figures (hopefully not that wobbly piece of shit in your image). Also, what do you personally use in your collection?
>>5738003
>Detolfs only became popular when Ikea was selling them for $20 years ago.
Uh, no, that sale was huge specifically because it was such a great deal. People where buying them long before that one single day and long after it, too.
Currently setting up pose skeleton rooms and setting re-ment furniture in there and fitting in some nendos, I am liking how it looks.
>>5738059
>People where buying them long before that one single day and long after it, too.
Point is that people were shitting on them back then too.
That died off after that sale when everyone started buying the budget crap cheap.
>>5738056
> I'm curious to see what you suggest to display figures
I posted dozens before, but you know what happens after you shit on something people have bought into? Everything else is shit because detolf perfect. You can't reason with upset people.
The only way people would accept anything else is if there's an option that's cheaper than a Detolf and nothing really is, and if there was, it'd be just as shitty as the Detolf.
>>5738099
>I posted dozens before
Then post it again. Or at least try to be a little more subtle while dodging a question/request.
Also, like I said, I'll admit the Detolf isn't perfect, and I have a few other display cases that I use besides the Detolf. Personally, I love Bestas with glass doors...shit just looks great to me.
So yea, I'll ask again, what do you recommend as far as other options for displaying figures. Also, what do you personally use.
>>5732660
>that posing
>>5738120
>dodging a question/request.
Like i said, it's pointless when pratically all comments i got before was "well yours is shit too!!!!!!!"
>I'll ask again, what do you recommend as far as other options for displaying figures.
I already posted one, but i guess that was too subtle, huh?
As for what i use, again, pointless and dumb, but i'll just say i don't buy anything that's meant to be viewed from all angles and just stick it against a wall.
>Bestas
Do they have adjustable shelves? Seems better than the Billys, which i do have one of that i modified so it wouldn't be a piece of wobblyshit like the budget crap it is. And no, i don't use it to display toys, just books.
>>5738157
>Like i said, it's pointless when pratically all comments i got before was "well yours is shit too!!!!!!!"
Where in the world are these comments? Or are you just paranoid?
>I already posted one, but i guess that was too subtle, huh?
I literally said what you posted was a wobbly piece of shit here >>5738056. I've seen it at Ikea, it's shit.
>Do they have adjustable shelves?
They do, and they're extremely thick/sturdy. I personally use Inreda glass shelves for my Bestas, though.
Also, that's a nice display in your image. What kind of shelf is that? A Billy?
>>5738157
>Like i said, it's pointless when pratically all comments i got before was "well yours is shit too!!!!!!!"
>won't post pics of collection
>won't even recommend options for displays
all of this is the behavior of a coward, subjectanon.
>>5738195

Never saw the other threads? Lots last year, and the year before that, and the year before that, and the year before that, and the year before that and the year before that and the yearbeforethatandtheyearbeforethatandtheyearbeforetc
There's always been better suggestions and the people who hate them because it's too expensive.
> I've seen it at Ikea, it's shit.
... even the Detolf at Ikea is sturdy, but it's been bolted down to handle kids jumping around and clumsy old people falling over the joists in the floor. If it was wobbly there, someone didn't do their job right.
Anyway, it's studier than the Detolf when put together right.
> What kind of shelf is that? A Billy?
Yep, but it's wobbly shit i wouldn't recommend. Very customizable and what i actually like from shelving. It's why i dislike the Detolf, because it has none of that. It looks especially bad when people are sticking in risers to make their clusterfucks not look as clusterfucky but still clusterfuck anyway. People sticking in large dolls and the light with barely any head room is ugly, especially when said dolls are expensive as fuck.
>>5738218
>Never saw the other threads? Lots last year, and the year before that, and the year before that
Dude, seriously? This is an anonymous message board. Not only that, but why in the world would I keep tabs on that kind of shit from old threads?
>Anyway, it's studier than the Detolf when put together right.
I'll take your word for it. Though I own 4 Detofs and 2 of them are pretty wobbly, the other two are sturdy as hell. I've actually moved 3 times with them, once to a 3rd floor apartment, once to a rental house, and again to my current home. Never took them apart either, just taped them up and stuffed pillows/blankets in there. At one point it was just one that was wobbly, but I'm assuming the moves kind of loosened up the other one. Either way, maybe it's just the luck of the draw with Detolfs.
>It looks especially bad when people are sticking in risers to make their clusterfucks not look as clusterfucky but still clusterfuck anyway. People sticking in large dolls and the light with barely any head room is ugly, especially when said dolls are expensive as fuck.
You actually have good points and are sticking with your argument. Guess that means you're not a troll like I assumed you were, sorry.
I guess we just have different opinions, but I definitely understand where you're coming from now.
>>5738246
>not going to collection threads to see how they display their stuff and what toys you might like everytime they pop up
it's like you aren't part of this community or have a working memory.
>Guess that means you're not a troll like I assumed you were
dude, seriously. Instead of getting butthurt that someone is derisive about things you know are wobbly budget shit, you should consider that they really are shitting on it because it's wobbly budget shit.
Also, are you sticking your detolfs together, side by side? Or do you not cnosider it to be wobbly when you open it and it being all light as shit?
Good furniture should be breaking your back when moving it... and not because it's awkward to move. Durability correlates with that weight and makes it safer.
>>5738270
>it's like you aren't part of this community or have a working memory.
Even if that's true, you're not comprehending the fact that this is an ANONYMOUS message board. I can't say "x person said this the last thread" because EVERYONE IS ANONYMOUS.
>Instead of getting butthurt that someone is derisive about things you know are wobbly budget shit, you should consider that they really are shitting on it because it's wobbly budget shit.
I literally apologized for the mistake. You're saying I don't have a working memory, but it's like you don't remember that damn near every single collection thread breeds trolls who talk mad shit about everyone's displays just to rustle jimmies while offering no real advice or anything. Sorry for thinking this thread was heading int hat direction since it almost always happens.
>Also, are you sticking your detolfs together, side by side?
Side by side.
>Or do you not cnosider it to be wobbly when you open it and it being all light as shit?
I said 2 are wobbly (one is wobbly probably from being moved 3 times). And light as shit? Umm...not sure what kind of weight lifting prodigy you are, but Detolfs have some pretty hefty weight to them. I've had to put them on Dollies to move them and it's taken me and another person to hoist them onto the moving truck each time.
>>5738289
>I can't say "x person said this the last thread" because EVERYONE IS ANONYMOUS.
?
I'm not sure what this matters. All that matters is that people get butthurt and will become extra defensive about the crappy shit they bought, and this has happened time and time again, where better options are shat on. Doesn't matter who said it, just that it happens and it being new people everytime just says something about the human ego.
> but it's like you don't remember that damn near every single collection thread breeds trolls who talk mad shit about everyone's displays just to rustle jimmies while offering no real advice or anything
Huh? Most people actually give a reason. People just like taking things to the extreme. If someone says a toy is shit because it lacks paint, that's not trolling. Almost everyone will have a reason for shitting on something. Take it for what it means, not for its tone.
Take this barf inducing shit. No one has to be a cook to think this will make you end up squirting from both ends of your body.
>>5738367

The articulation isn't bad, there's an endoskeleton that everything is built on. The joints are stiff but still adjustable enough so you're not in danger of snapping anything.

The material of the exterior figure seems to be made of mixture of rubber and plastic. As far as the hand options go they're within the same range as most Japanese/Chinese figures. I'd show you, but closet ghost.

In summary, I'd only suggest getting this figure if you're a fan of Boba Fett and even then, if you have $90 you can drop on it with little though. Also, when I first got it there was a very strong paint smell.
>>5742189
that is the ugliest Boba I've ever seen
>>5742263
That's the ugliest environment I've ever seen. It looks worse than that Transfan guy on TFW2005, actually. But at least he has the excuse of being a literal autist.

They're old cases Mcfarlane used for their toys. They can be pricey depending on the figure you buy but I got the majority of mine for $18 a piece. Since the front plastic panel can be removed, it makes working with them easier but also for taking photographs as well.
My collection peaked at around 50 or so figures.
Sold almost all of them.
Pick related are the only two I kept, as they're the most important to me. I've had the iron giant ever since I was a kid and got spidey a few years ago.
