Love the Butanohana Shelf!! There are two versions for each Garamon, subtle differences in the face and chest sculpting, I don't know the full background as I haven't seen all of UltraQ yet.
^^ thanks guys. and yea,tobor, no doubles. there is a regular version in blue and red, then the omega version in blue, and anchor(name?) version in red. so 3 completely different sculpts. pretty crazy seeing as how they are extremely similar, they are not just modified versions of the existing sculpt though. completely different altogether. I photoshopped this a long time ago, it shows the facial differences between the blues. (regular on top, omega on the bottom)
Time was when my misc shelf was something of a dumping ground, but now it's fast become my favourite! Need to treat my Obake ghosts to a more prominent display though, and maybe get some new mates for them whilst I'm at it.
I'm glad it's not just my Mr Meltys that lean so much, they look like a bunch of drunkards all together. And yeah, i have a similar love-hate relationship with my misc. shelf.
Different head and sculpts. on the chest. Below is the anchor garamon and omega garamon. Other garamon have different faces and chests.
Ewww, so ugly. But really, Lixx, you are the master of the risers and staggering the different sizes of toys. I always love your collection pics; like something in a Japanese toy museum. If I can't have the toys, I can at least appreciate looking at them endlessly.
Great shelf lixx! Your shelves are what inspired me to go for super-packed-ness in my own display. i still have a ways to go though haha
Thanks guys! Not buying doesn't mean you can have fun tweeking what ya got! It's just the OCD talking. I think we all have it especially collecting toys. Whenever I change things up I obsess over field of vision. If a toy seems too hidden I will tweek till it somehow can be seen. Like right now the non clear Popy Iron King is sort of bugging me in this pic but can be seen quite well from my vantage point. It's all varied risers and lots of arm manipulation. I draw inspiration from many of the vintage guys here and CKA pics (which I'm still sad I can no longer view properly on that site or pull anymore) Ha we all inspire each other here! It's like a brotherhood of nerds. Don't sell yourself short, that Buta army looks like it took a shitload of work and patience. Looks great btw!
Using these for risers: http://www.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/products/70177477/ Bad shot, but here's the close 2nd favorite. I like to see the backs of the figures and hear the music in my head they represent. The words on the bottom of the glow one are from a song I got to do the English translation for.
This shelft is quite incredible Jared. They look awesome together. I don't know how you did it, but congrats !
Glad to see a true collector with patience (and lots of lotto luck!) build a shelf. People that spend thousands per on these are absolutely out of their mind. Good for you Jared! All you need now is that other version of Mecha Ju. Never realized those mini Gorilla & Mecha Ju were so small. People really drop lots of money on those?! Madness.
