Drakul's Collection

Hi guys,

So I just posted an intro post so I won't repeat too much.
Basically I just moved to TX in May and my wife and I are having our first house built.

I am going to have a dedicated media room and a game room and I've been planning it all in my head for years (I have a wishlist spreadsheet with 400 items on it) so I can't wait.

All my collection is in boxes right since we're living in a temporary apartment and a lot of it is still in France (from whence I hail) but here are some old pics so you can take a gander.

These I got since moving to the US



Grandpa's House - Peter and the Wolf
A very lovely Disney piece that doubles as a gorgeous Christmas decoration.



Darth Vader Kneeling - Gentle Giant
My favorite Vader statue ever made. lots of subdued emotion.



Absolute Sandman - DC Direct
I got this at NYCC 50% off so I was happy (sorry for the awful flash)



Batman Justice League - DC Direct
Fairly average make but I love the Bruce Timm series.

Below is the stuff that is still in France and that I will move over once our house is built.



Femto (Berserk) - Art of War
My favorite anime of all time. If you need to watch 1 anime, if you need to read 1 manga, make it this one.



Queen Emeraldas and Captain Harlock - ?
Can't remember who made this but I love me some Albator (as he's known in France)



Vash the Stampede (Trigun) - ?
Again can't remember who made it. I was very upset because when I move from France I broke the front middle piece of the coat. But I was able to reglue it and it looks fine now.
Hopefully I don't REbrake it when I move it to Houston.



A few Spawn figures - McFarlane Toys
I LOVE the Spawn cartoon. It is the main reason I got into comics when I moved to the US.



Gandalf the Grey Bust - Weta (I believe)
I don't collect busts but if was a birthday gift from a friend so I can't complain.


So voila! these are the pictures I currently have.
I also have some Gentle Giant Animaquette not pictured here (C3PO, Legolas, Gimli) and the "I know you I danced with you once upon a dream" Disney statue from Sleeping Beauty.
A great very rare Raziel statue from Legacy of Kain and some other random stuff.
I just ordered GG Luke and Emperor Animaquette as well as Kotobukiya's Raiders of the Lost Ark ArtFX and they should arrive tomorrow.

My next priority buys are Batman and Joker 89 Hot Toys, Jessica Rabbit PF, Batman/Spawn, Emperor and Throne (still debating figure Vs PF but for scale to go with my Kneeling Vader I think the PF would be much nicer) and so many others...

Hope you enjoyed it and feel free to ask any questions.

Dracula - McFarlane Toys

Actually this is an old figure I couldn't post in my first post because of the limit on pics.
I'm a big vampire freak (in case that wasn't obvious) so I had to get that one.



Raiders of the Lost Ark ArtFX - Kotobukiya

That one is nice. I love the scene but the PVC makes it a bit cheap looking from up close. I'm glad I paid $55 for it and not the retail $120



Luke X-Wing Animaquette- Gentle Giant

I really like this one. The outfit is awesome and the pose is cool.



The Emperor Animaquette - Gentle Giant

I love this one. The Emperor can't go wrong, he looks like a grumpy old fart :lol

Very nice indeed. I'd love more AoW but man they're pricey!

A conclusion is simply the place where you got tired of thinking.

Borrow money from a pessimist, they don't expect it back.
