Collection Room

Hello All,

Thought that I would finally share some collection pics.

I've been trolling this section for years and love it.













Here is a link to a iPhone video of my collection that I posted on youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KmTk1c-e55o

Still waiting on a few more things from my LCS and Rocky's Vault.

Also picked up a few DCU busts off of eBay that are on their way as well.

The room is still coming together, but I am happy with how far it has progressed over the years.

Thanks for posting your collection! I really like your space. Great light coming into the room. Great pieces and really nicely displayed. I love those large cabinets that you have your Wonder Woman PF in!

Subbed to your Youtube channel as well!

Really nice collection. Love the big display cases. Where'd you get them?

Thank you for the kind words. The glass cabinets are wonderful. I am lucky enough to own 5 of them. The plan is to fill up the last two in the coming years.

There are several windows in the room, which makes for some wonderful lighting. Although, it can be a bit annoying when you are trying to play a game

Thank you. The collection is still coming along. It has taken me a long while to get it heading in the right direction. I used to be a completist, then decided it was the wrong way to go for me.

My BIG goal is to have either get a bronze statue, or have a custom Transformers bust sculpt to complement the HH Devastator. Defensor, Computron, or Superion - one of these days

I got the large cabinets from store closings. They are available online at some retailers for about $500. I got one for $300, two for $400, and another two for $100 (yep, $50 each because the people selling them didn't want to take them apart again - lol). So, Craigslist and dumb luck. I painted the bases black on 4 of the cases. My goal is to add lighting at some point. But that is a long way off.

More pics and another video in the coming days.

Hello Everyone.

Wow, long time no post. Here are some updates from the collection room.







The DC Direct line of busts isnt all that great up close. However, I think that they will look great once displayed together.



I now own all of the Bowen Iron Man busts.
