Collection shots
Anyone have any collection shots they want to share? You guys keep pulling out amazing pieces. I'd love to see whole collection pix, but I really have no desire to sort through 126 pages (1890 threads) of new stuff for a handful of vintage shots. I remember seeing Mike K's in the collection forum (damn, you're collection is AWESOME!!), but now they seem to be down.

Re: Collection shots
those glass (or plexi) hanging wall cases are really cool - are those custom made or if not, do you mind saying where you got them. I really like that idea for displaying some of my figures.

Re: Collection shots
Thanks for sharing, kr - great collection!! I love the Maz MF vinyl. That huge b.o. Arcadia is great too - I really want to pick one up. And that Legion is massive! Of course, that first pic is killer. Yeah, my shelves suck. My stuff is crammed into a small carpeted walk-in closet for now. I don't trust many shelves to stand sturdy in there, so I custom built some wide laminated shelving and use the built-in wire shelving up top for the larger stuff. The Kaiju stuff is in my kid's room. Plus, when I have available money, I would rather buy more toys than shelves!

Re: Collection shots
Nice start, King! I have that giant Gamera '95 and love it.
You ever see that giant Dunbine from 80's? Its just about in scale with a Jumbo. I'm not a huge Dunbine fan, but that thing RULES. I just love the size and sculpt on it, and totally dig the neon yellow cockpit action. You should check it out, if you haven't already!

Re: Collection shots
Thanks guys. I'd love to get the Jumbo Dunbine one day.
The Baltan is a super cheap figure. Its made by ApexT, and you can pick one up for $25 shipped from Thailand on ebay (there's one up now). The paint job is minimalist to say the least, but I was planning on custom painting it when I originally purchased it. However, it more often than not ends up in my kids' brutal hands, so that plan was scrapped.

Re: Collection shots
Ah, so since it's from Thailand, I'm guessing it's a Chaiyo-licensed product?

Re: Collection shots
Yes, Roger. I got mine for $9.99 in the bag for a Thailand seller. He's sort of lame and sort of cool all at the same time.

Re: Collection shots
Wow, $10! I wonder if it's a copy of the huge one they sold in the 80s, the big one with the stand it plugged into.

It looks like it could be... but I think the Bandai one had much bigger arms/claws. Still an impressive figure for $10! Now I've gotta go to Thailand and come back with a suitcase full of them to build a Baltan Army!

Re: Collection shots
yeah, I've got the ApexT large Dada (and when I say large, it's huge!). I picked it up from somebody on this board a few years ago for like $20.00 Highly recommended if you have the chance to buy one - they are awesome.

Re: Collection shots
I have that thai ultraman. I also have a mazinger-z ,grendizer and a few others that I got on e-bay about 4 years. I think were made by the same company.
