Recently I changed my toy display, from a typical bookshelf, to actual shelves on the wall. Even though it supports less(just a smidge) of my collection, I am much more satisfied with it’s appearance. There’s a few gaps that have to be filled, and they will be, as soon as I figure out where some of the newer additions are going. Here’s what it looks like so far.
It’s still a work in progress. But it’s nicer to look at compared to my previous set-up, and has been a pretty fun project.
A while back, you guys saw when I first got a book case to display some of my collection in my bedroom. Well, since then I have accumulated a ton of toys, and a couple of days ago I added some of them to the display. Here’s what is now on display.
Of course, some stuff had to be switched around, but I don’t think I had to take anything down to accomplish this. Click here to see what the display looked like when it first went up.
Well, my computer is out of commission for the moment, so I’m posting this on the Clarkinator’s computer. Recently, I got a bookshelf to display my loose toys in my bedroom. The funny thing is, is that it was my wife’s idea. Now, there are mostly MIB figures and such in “The Vault”. Without further adieu, toys.
There’s the beast in all it’s glory!
Here’s a shelf by shelf breakdown
On top, we have my boxed N64, boxed Starfox 64 as well as a few random pieces. You should know what the other stuff is(if you don’t, just ask). If you look closely you’ll notice Superchicken!
The first shelf is the Transformers/robots shelf. A mix of Transformers, Rock Lords, Battle Beasts, Voltron and Rokkon from MOTU.
Going down one shelf, we have the TMNT shelf. This shelf is exclusively dedicated to Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, except for the picture of Penny, remembered from Pee-Wee’s Playhouse. The picture of Penny is actually cut out from the box of the talking Pee Wee I traded to my brother a couple years ago.
The third shelf is for my wife and I’s wedding memorabilia.
The third shelf of toys is a mix up of lots of great lines.
Here you will see Marvel super heroes from different lines, M.U.S.C.L.E. men, Thunder Cats, Ghostbusters, G.I. Joe and many other toy lines. See how many different ones you can name.
The bottom shelf is stuff that I couldn’t fit on other shelves, or just didn’t belong on them. I know this is blurry, so, below are a few shots from different angles(of all the shelves).
Well, there you have it. My new toy display. That’s not all the toys I own, but it is a nice chunk of them. Others are stored away, the ones still in their package are still in “The Vault” and I’m certain that I’m not done with the collection yet(far from it). So, what do you guys think? Was it worth the wait? Please share your thought in the comments. You can even comment on what your favorite piece is. And later in the day these pictures were taken, I acquired a big ALF plush from The Clakinator, in exchange for an E.T. that I had. He is now seated on the shelf on the right side of the N64. Pictures of him will surface at another time.
