 Wonder Woman fanatic and collector tips His name is Sam Hatmaker, the Wonder Woman collector.
http://www.coolhunting.com/archives/200 ... tmaker.php
Apart from his amazing memorabilia of WW, I am inspired with how organized his collection is in his flat. Taking note of storage ideas too. Haha.
I am sure he has a storage area for the "other" stuff and only the good stuff he puts out for display. It's like a shop in there. I too have some collections under my bed. I have placed the Ikea record cabinet horizontally with 2 boards over it, then the mattress. It's not too hard to lift up the mattress but I do worry at times when it rains as our apartment has leaked.

geez! that's just crazy!
it would seem like a losing battle trying to complete an "everything wonder woman" collection, so more power to him! I wonder what he does for a living?

I wonder if he acts more normal when he's not getting excited about discussing all things wonder woman. that is a cool way he displays everything though.

He speaks my language. A different dialect, maybe, but a very familiar language regardless.
The whole business about monetary value versus collector value was the same thing Carl said in the Toypunks documentary!

Wonder Woman wasn't cool enough to buy Getta Dragun when it was right in front of her:
