thats a lotta cabbage to drop in a month or so

 

Re: My Whole Secret Base collection + 1 Cronic

Lonely Cronic.
Nice pickups.

 

Re: My Whole Secret Base collection + 1 Cronic

You just need some better risers now
I'm going to make a trip to Ikea soon but not sure if I'm going the detolf way. I might just buy shelves...just the basic crappy wooden shelves that they have. One other thing I did notice from seeing someone else do it...a base for the detolf so the bottom shelf doesn't feel like the bottom. Do you need to put the doors in? I'm just lazy and prefer to grab my toys without having to open a door.

 

Re: My Whole Secret Base collection + 1 Cronic

Wait until those detolfs start multiplying.

It's just begun.

 

Re: My Whole Secret Base collection + 1 Cronic

I do feel you on the base/riser for the whole detolf to raise the bottom shelf.
Yes you have to put the whole bastard (yes, its a bastard) thing together, I did it alone but I would suggest 2 set of hands. I'm going to look around for some clear acrylic risers or something to that effect.


HMS: Man, I have seriously dented my credit line lol. I think my total is around 2K give or take and thats not including SB clothing purchases .

Joe: That Cronic figure has some friends coming to the party, he wont be lonely for long. I'm only into the Baks though.

 

Re: My Whole Secret Base collection + 1 Cronic

Nice setup! That is a GREAT start!

 

Re: My Whole Secret Base collection + 1 Cronic

be most carefull about that lone new Cronic piece...it may end up owning your soul, like my first Cronic piece did me...

nice collection in a month and a half...baller.

 

Re: My Whole Secret Base collection + 1 Cronic

It looks great. Impressive focus. I wish i could concentrate on SB, but there's so much cool stuff out there

 

Re: My Whole Secret Base collection + 1 Cronic

great collection and nice 12'' bees.
what's the captain doing on top of the detolf?

 

Re: My Whole Secret Base collection + 1 Cronic

yes i hear you on the cronic
i started with just the ankrons
now its anything i find i like wich with cronic is pretty much all of it
i blame the WF and SDCC releases

 

Re: My Whole Secret Base collection + 1 Cronic

Nice. Especially the GF shelf.

I've never been a fan of the skullbees before, but those giant bees are awesome.

 

Re: My Whole Secret Base collection + 1 Cronic

very nice start!

 

Re: My Whole Secret Base collection + 1 Cronic

Is that detolf in your living room? Hellz ya!

 

Re: My Whole Secret Base collection + 1 Cronic

Oh, thats just an extra I happened to have laying around *cough* trade bait *cough*.
Figured If I put him up there someone will be wanting him.

Kevlo: Technically Its in my ladies living room (hell of a fight) and It was a must for all who enter this home to see them displayed .

As far as the Cronic goes I actually have another Bak coming, GID, but I think the bak figures are my main focus as far as Cronic goes. But as a collector my taste changes more than a babies diaper.
Thanks for all the kind words and YES, I'm already heading back to Ikea this week for another detolf.

 

Re: My Whole Secret Base collection + 1 Cronic

NICE.

My lady is pretty cool, but I'm not sure if "the toys" could make the living room.

 

Re: My Whole Secret Base collection + 1 Cronic

That single Cronic will have cousins and brothers soon, don't worry...

 

Re: My Whole Secret Base collection + 1 Cronic

For those interested I have added risers. I found clear acrylic boxes that were meant to cover collectible baseballs. The covers run around 1.29 each and are totally worth it. If you have a Michaels art supply in your town this is the place to score the goods. I also purchased one glass vase type thing I turned into a riser for my Pushead items. I bought them all out (plastic covers) so I ordered a few more in different height profiles.
Looks much better I think


EDITED for picture size

 

Re: My Whole Secret Base collection + 1 Cronic

Looks good with the risers!

 

Re: My Whole Secret Base collection + 1 Cronic

just remember kids... secret base rules...!!!

collect captains & pirates now..!!!

 

Re: My Whole Secret Base collection + 1 Cronic

Awesome collection!

 

Re: My Whole Secret Base collection + 1 Cronic

wow...Finally I saw your set.

 

Re: My Whole Secret Base collection + 1 Cronic

yeah man, nice sb collection. hell, for a month and a half, this is beyond impressive. i thought i had a healthy haul for being at it going on 9 months.....

and i agree, be careful of that cronic.

i own no cronic due to the fact that i KNOW that shit is addicting.....

 

Re: My Whole Secret Base collection + 1 Cronic

Great choice on the first Cronic. I'm not a big Bakurasu fan, but I really like the paint app on this one.

 

Re: My Whole Secret Base collection + 1 Cronic

This from the man who has it all.
I feel very honored man. I was able to see your collection when at meltdown gallery in LA. A few years back (October I think), I saw some art show they had there at the time but I will never forget the glory that your collection held over that store. You have the best I have seen yet, cheers to SB.
