 six months later...
I've been madly collecting kaiju and various vinyls for 6 months now. i thought i'd share some pics of the growing family!
1. The gargamel shelf.
2. The fight figs. I think I've posted this picture before, but it was a shitty camera phone. plus i think i added a few pieces since.
3. The randoms shelf.
4. Similar to the randoms shelf, but these guys are hanging out on the glass house roof!
I wish I would have thought to include the whole Evil Ernie artwork in the background. That thing is sweet! Any y'all know about Ernie? I got that piece of artwork by means of drunken bidding at the chicago comic con coupla years ago.
I got a few more things not in these pics, but i need to buy a matching glass house to hold them!

you might want to invest in some acrylic risers particularly for those fight figures... so you can better see them together in the detolf
nice job on the collection thus far!

yeah, i plan on it. but money towards acrylic risers means less money toward toys right now. once i get my list of stuff i currently want completed, i'ma invest in some risers...

haha trust me - those risers are pocket change next to some of those toys you have in there

You're off to a strong start, I like the display setup and balance of the shelves. Keep us updated as it grows.

you can get some really nice risers for cheap at the container store. i use one of their spice racks for my rxh collection and i think i have about 30 figures crammed on to one rack. i think it was around $12...they're definitely reasonable.

Thanks. I love this thing. A Rikku one would totally kick ass too! I'm not sure if they made one though. Yeah, she looks even more badass surrounded by monsters!

actually, what i have in mind are some bleacher style risers, about 14-15" wide. Anyone know a place that would carry something that particular?

A bit pricey, but this works perfectly in the Detolf.
