Didn't see one in the catalog so I'll make a new one. Just finished putting my new toy room together after moving. I'm pretty happy with it, it's quite cozy to play games, watch movies, and play with toys in.

Everyone else, post some displays.

If you insist on having so many figures out on display, get some risers for the figures at the back.
>>
>>11267064
Yeah, I definitely could use some risers and better lighting in some of the displays. Those are probably my next upgrade for the room.

>>11267066
I dunno, Less than 150lbs. Probably 130ish, although I've lost a little weight lately.

Congrats on the move anon. I'd recognise that avengers shelf anywhere. You planning to wall mount your FF art boards this time?
>>
>>11267062
don't you feel weird gooning in front of all your toys?
>>
>>11267075
Probably somewhere else, the art doesn't fit at the top of that shelf anymore. Makes me glad I skipped the Haslab Giant Man, he wouldn't have fit.
>>
>>11267079
The doors are actually windowed so there isn't any fapping privacy in that room.
>>
>displaying toys
I keep mine in a filing cabinet and only take them out when nobody else is home. I don't want my kids to know I collect toys.
>>
>>11267058
It's a good amount of space with some nice shelving units and a good assortment of figures. I'm kinda jealous of the amount of space you have for display as my room is about half that size and has a lot less wallspace. Though I do have some suggestions.

First off, as that other anon mentioned, get risers or flight stands. Especially for the detolf/glass cases, you have a lot of unused vertical space to better show off some figures. Perhaps even put some peg holes in the black furniture so you can plug stands directly into the walls to show off flying characters above the crowds. The Justice League/Avengers/X-men displays are a good amount of crowded, as while the top two have lots of figures they at least have space to pose and you can still see behind them. But the ones on the black shelf are way too crammed in there and it looks more storage then display.

That said, and I'm sure it's got to be in your plans but, get rid of that brown shelf. It don't match the rest of the displays, looks super cheap and it's clearly already buckling under the weight of everything on it.

Also, if possible, I would get rid of that carpet. Probably shoulda done it before installing everything, but that's just one big dust magnet.

As for the crowds...those displays are way too cramped. I'd actually recommend keeping the doors on the built ins, use it as storage and limit the amount of figures on a shelf.

>>11267089
That's sad on so many levels. I honestly love when my kid plays with my toys, as that's exactly what toys are supposed to be used for. I even keep stuff like my bin of dinosaurs, older Toybiz figures or newer he-mans stuff on lower shelves to make it easier for her to reach. Though she seems to really like playing with my Classified Vamp, as she uses that as her Bluey family car.

cool collection and display, i admire the passion in your toy collecting

however if this was toy wars like >>11241532
your collection would be wiped out instantly by a single Thanos or something

the strongest characters are the DBZ figures but they're incredibly susceptible to mind control. Any decent villain toy from an invading collection could easily make them fight each other, and wouldn't even have to invade, if they wanted to destroy you.

i recommend you invest in a Thanos with Infinity Gauntlet or some true cosmic level threats. Adam Warlock is a step in the right direction but someone as savvy as yourself should do better. The genius of 100 Peter Parkers and Bruce Waynes honestly won't save you, and Reed Richards is the biggest fraud to ever grace the pages of fiction/folklore so he sure as shit won't help you

i give your collection a 6/10, it would be cool for my collection to invade yours even though we'd slaughter you in less than 1 second, but your display 9/10 because the poses are all very tasteful
>>
>>11267061
>>11267062
I agree that you should get rid of the brown likely particle board shelving (and this desk), because it looks out of place and I agree about the carpeting being a dust magnet. I assume this is a basement office.

Otherwise, you're getting good advice but you shouldn't waste money you don't have. Wanting things to be perfect (to your own eyes) is okay, as a long term - when reasonable - project.

As an interior decorator from Czechoslovakia, this is kinda triggering. A lot of things to say, but I'll keep it short.
Those brown wood table & shelves need to go. Replace them to match your black table & shelves, same design if possible.

very nice, very clean.
i am always surprised when somebody has a very expensive and high quality collection, including the shelving and cabinets, but they never make use of risers or steps to elevate and show off the figures in the back. i feel like a lot of the figures land up hidden or disappeared from view. can also feel more crowded or crammed whereas with risers you can space them out better as well.

How did you transfer the detolfs to the new place? I'll be moving soon and I'm not sure what to do with mine.

Just take them apart, wrap them carefully in bubblewrap and (this is the most important part) transport them yourself. DO NOT let a moving company handle them they will just break them.
>>
>>11267817
I had movers and they took the shelves out, wrapped the detolfs themselves in padding and plastic wrap and strategically placed them in the truck. Honestly, I was kind of nervous about moving them but the guys did a good job.

>>11267453
>shouldn't waste money you don't have.

As the guy who originally suggested getting rid of the brown shelves, I completely agree with this. Especially if this is your new long term home, you do those upgrades when you can afford em.

Yep. That's the idea. I have a separate office for work and always just wanted a dedicated room I can display figures in. I still have space for more shelves, but I'm toying with the idea of a big centerpiece diorama, just can't settle on a theme or IP I want to dedicate to it.

Agreed. Still baffles me to this day how there aren't figures for Fairy Tail. Kodansha doesn't seem to be as good when it comes to licencing compared to Shueisha.
I only collect Nendo's for things I really want full figures of but haven't got and are unlikely to get.

>no ultron, let alone what if ultron w/ infinity gauntlet
such a shame. the technical aspects of your display are so nice but it completely lacks power other than galactus. given there are so many superior powerful characters like ig thanos on the market for a very accessible price, this is a huge oversight.

my official recommendation is to invest in at least one infinity gauntlet thanos, ultron what if with infinity gauntlet, or similar god-like character that goes well with your collection

however, the disrespect you demonstrate by not displaying silver surfer more prominently is nothing short of pathetic. the prominence of the Fantastic Fraud is disgusting. the lack of education here is almost beyond repair. if this toy collection was in latveria you'd be executed

Oh I been there, still kinda am lol. I been "setting up" my toy room for near two years now and still have about a half dozen shelfs left blank because I just can't be assed to fill em up. But I've made more progress in the last few weeks then I have in months so that's helping to motivate me to hopefully finish before the end of the year.

Irony
>>
>>11269011
there are several threads in the archive, most people deal with it by cleaning regularly, a few have all these complicated and ranging from slightly costly to absurd set-ups to minimize dust (which can make sense for other - health-wise - reasons) and a few people try stuff like those air blowers for PCs but that seems like it would just move dust.

I just lift, sometimes repose, definitely move around and swap around, and clean and then put back down.
>>
>>11269011
OP here, I dust the shelves every few months. That involves taking all the figures from each one down so the shelf is bare, cleaning the shelf with Pledge, and then, if needed, blowing the dust off each figure with canned air for cleaning PCs like >>11269136 mentions. Yes, it's a very time consuming process. No, it isn't fun.

Months? I feel like I have to dust every few days. Having mostly dark shelves doesn't really help and I really need to weatherproof my lone detolf, but my room just gets coated in dust constantly. Pic related is said detolf so other anon doesn't have an aneurysm or something. It's an old, blurry, already out dated pic, but currently the best that I got.

It's the 2004 Interactive Astro Boy by bandai, he's got a lot of really cool features but unfortunately, I cannot recommend him. He has broken in two places simply by standing on my shelf unmoved. whatever plastic he is made of has become extremely brittle. His fingers broke on one arm and then the spring release in his rocket powered feet broke. I keep him though because he's cool and I loved astro boy as a kid.

Thanks, I was trying to avoid overcrowding in the detolf and some layered displays really help with that. They also add a nice grippy surface for figures to stand, but most of em are using stands anyway. They also help hide any dust that sneaks into the cabinet.

And no I didn't make em myself, I lack both the resources and ability to have em come out that nice. I got em from a shop called Would You Kindly Studios, guy seems to specialize in making Detolf specific dio pieces. A but pricey, but I managed to grab two of em on deep discount and I'm happy with what I paid. One of em even came with a wall piece that I use as a backdrop for pics sometimes.

Still working on the rest of my shelves, but I got most of my main display in a good state. Still need to put some troops around the Roboskull mk and then I can start working on that last shelf. All the horses on it are temporary as I need room on my desk to organize the figures I'm actually gonna put up there. That one will take a bit of time to finish off though, pulling out the Legions is not an easy project at this point.

That's the Roboskull Mk II from the Skullitron Kickstarter. Basically it's a modern update of the old UK Red Shadows Roboskull from their Action Force toyline. It's a beast of a starship that barely fits on the shelf and it's not even standing the way it's supposed to. It fits two 1:18 figures or one 1:12, but I plan to use it for my 1:18 guys and have a small team of Red Shadow Jungle Wolves (from the same Kickstarter) and a squad of Joytoy Skeleton Force troopers to hang around it. But I honestly don't know if I'll be able to fit two teams around this thing, it's way bigger then I expected it to be.

I just keep rearranging my spider shelf because i don't really like it and I'm kind of into the Spiderverse stuff now.

Its such a deep shelf that i don't know how much risers will help, but I also fear dynamically posing stuff because the fuckers love to just tumble over and domino effect everything. Had to use museum glue to hold down Pavitr and Punk

That is a very awesome throne, but is he supposed to be sitting? Looks like he's hovering over it. Where did you get it?Also is that helmet and cape custom?

Thanks. It's from Jackdo. They had 2 on sale at aliexpress. I got one, so there's 1 left.https://a.aliexpress.com/_EuxkO6y
> Looks like he's hovering over it.
Yeah, he was sitting on the cape this one was a customer I got for dr doom, waiting on a bigger red and black one. The helmet and collar are from the 200x set with his horse.

This is an alt helmet for the boxset, the other was from the dx release.

A dynamic pose shouldn't topple with the stand.

Thanks, I think lol. Though rest assured, I'm the last person to say I have good taste, I have way more figures all stored away and a bunch more displays crammed into my room I haven't gotten good pics of yet.

A deep shelf is the best thing for risers. Hell, maybe even get some actual backdrop pieces as those always fill up space and bring life to a display.

And I second just using stands, even cheap ones off amazon will do wonders for a figure's stability in dynamic poses. Once you find a good balance, nothing short of directly knocking into em should cause em to fall.

I am looking to display boxed toys as a kind of wall art.
Specifically JoyToy Warhammer. They don't stack well as Mcfarlane's so I am looking for cheap shelf ideas and something to secure them

it would look really cool if someone could do these as floating shelves, so it was horizontal instead of a rectangle on the floor
