Every collector's nightmare - How to display?

darthsmozers · 05-31-2004, 12:37 PM

If anyone has pictures of their displays, of any kind (not just action figures), please post here. I think it would benefit everyone.

Just to let you know, people are already showing collection pics in the Toy forum.

I know. As stated, this is for displays of any types of collections, not just TMNT figs.

Tigershard · 05-31-2004, 07:41 PM

I covered my entire wall in shelves. I will take a pic of it sometime and post it.

darthsmozers · 06-04-2004, 12:06 PM

so take a pic already

Tigershard · 06-04-2004, 07:50 PM

My photo shop skills are worse than Michelangelo's failed pizza creations, so sorry about the large file sizes.

Hyper Metal Sonic · 06-04-2004, 08:01 PM

For the love of....you must have about $10,000 worth of anime right there. Yeesh. Guess I'll take a few room pics later myself.

Tigershard · 06-04-2004, 08:13 PM

You are seeing only half of my room. There is a lot of stuff on the other side, but I only have some old wooden shelves on that side.

darthsmozers · 06-04-2004, 08:21 PM

Some nice dvd's! I see your Raph spine image is correct? (ie - they screwed up that one spine.)

I didn't even know that the spine was screwed up when I first ordered the DVDs off bestbuy.com, guess I got lucky.

As for the shelf system, its built right into the wall. I love it. I wouldn't mind getting rid of the the wooden shelves on the other side of my room and doing the same thing. The biggest problem is it totally reduces the amount of poster space. If I had more room I would display all my Gargoyles and TMNT figures.

Well, I went picture crazy, and really only two of these will be of my "collections", but here I go.

Bed and two posters on the wall. That's about it.

Opposite end of bed. Shown are my Chest 'o Drawers (Clothing contained theirin), my little mini bookcase I got from my sister containing magazines, shoes, toys, my Dreamcast controllers, and um, junk. On top of the chest 'o drawers is another little "mini" bookcase whatchamacallit.

Little bookcase thing, closeups. The bottom shelf is DVDs and manga. Obviously these aren't all of my DVDs, just my most watched ones. The rest are in a DVD tower thing in the living room/den.

Print of one of my favorite art pieces ever and a toy x-wing I hung form the ceiling.

Closeup of mini-bookshelf. I'm not sure what to say...

Other bookshelf, mostly containing old Macintosh Plus (which still works) computer game boxes, and books galore.

My computer/work/drawing area. Only thing that the TV is hooked up to is my Dreamcast, which is in the nightstand below it. All I do is when I want to play it I open the drawer, turn it on, and play, and when I'm done, I shut the drawer. Nice and neat.

And, well, that's about it.

Questions?

BONUS!

haha u sure love your camera

Tigershard · 06-07-2004, 04:47 AM

Wow, your room is very organized. The only thing that detracts from the room is the Apple computer

Hey now, this thing kicks ass, and it saves space from not having to have a tower anywhere.

darthsmozers · 06-07-2004, 09:43 AM

the old computer looks awesome.

Punk Rawker · 06-07-2004, 10:39 AM

no offense but don't you guys do any thing else besides tnmt and other cartoons of that sort. I mean I love tmnt (long time fan) but I also play in a band and have a girl friends. I sure hope theres more to your lifes then collecting cards and watching old re-runs of the shows.

Well, yeah, actually. My major intrests are Anime, Videogames, and Comics/Manga, but I also love to draw, read just about about anything, and I'm a history buff. (Among other crap.)

I used to play in band, but I graduated High School, and believe it or not, I do have a girlfriend.

Just a jest. Macs come with towers too. I wouldn't mind getting my hands on a G5, with dual monitors.

Hey, how about not judging people before you know them? A person's room doesn't completely define them. How about paying attention to what books I have on my shelf? I can't keep my bike or rollerblades in my room. How about those medals hanging off that stuffed animal on my shelf from when I ran cross country in high school? I still run to stay healthy. Or how about some those glass figurines above my stereo? Those are from Poland, since I love to travel, and the bird/egg thing beside my magic cards (which I haven't touched in years) is from Switzerland. Maybe I have a lot of stuff because I work two jobs? The stuff in my room doesn't show you that Im in the top 10% of my class at the University of Michigan.

It's just like that old saying: Don't judge a book by its cover.

Punk Rawker · 06-08-2004, 01:28 PM

I didn't judge you, if you didn't notice I put what I said In question form.
