 Blake Collection
Kinda crummy picture. The light in my living room sucks. Just rearranged a bit this evening to fit recent loot. Complete on the WTF Stevens now. Thanks Angie!

 Re: Blake Collection
Great stuff! I love the bottom shelf the most... crammed and busy always gets me over a neat and tidy. And way to represent all the Portland/Grass Hut artists! Did Scrappers paint that Babe Bunyan?

Thanks. Yes, that Babe B was from Kicking Ass and Taking Names last year.

 Re: Blake Collection
Congrats on completing your Wtf Stevens. Great collection Blake + new setup looks great. Like your adjustable shelves. Wish you could do that with detolfs.

 Re: Blake Collection
Very nice! I love the setup. I haven't seen anyone with so many Steven the Bats as you have. Nice Shmogun set as well.

 Re: Blake Collection
I've actually still got two Le Merde resins. One's hiding out behind Booska. The other is up with my Martin O. stuff. Those two guys are keepers 4 life!

 Re: Blake Collection
Oh that LeMerde Steven! I love looking at it!
Great collection! I like the variety and at the same time I can see what you like. I hope that made sense.

 Re: Blake Collection
Dang! 6 custom Stevens?! That's awesome! Great looking shelves, I see a lot of goodies I wouldn't mind having. Especially the latest Rokuron and Pegura. Who did the Ojo off to the far left?

 Re: Blake Collection
Great stuff Blake. The variety blends together very well. That M1 Yadokarian (red crab guy with UFO on back on the bottom shelf) is one that I wish M1 would do a glow version.

 Re: Blake Collection
Thanks for the nice comments!
The Ziggy Stardust Ojo was done recently by Martin, and I'm so happy I managed to score him. I actually have another, more subtle Martin Custom Ojo in between the Zombie and Vampire Dio. That custom has a matte black face that rules and a body that looks like old leather. Rules hard.

 Re: Blake Collection
Collecting the whole WTF set was my first "goal" as a collector. Before that, I just sort of bought what caught my eye and was easily available. It's interesting making choices about what your going to collect and making the effort to spend your time and money on what you choose, rather than just what's available. I find it to be a more satisfying approach to collecting, even if a bit painful at times (having to force myself to pass things up). Thanks again for all the nice comments.  It's fun reading others' observations. Most of my friends have little to say about my collection other than "Crazy!".
