 Re: Whole Collection Shots
Thanks!
Truth be told, I probably obsess over toy placement and color way more than I should.

 Re: Whole Collection Shots
And your glass shelves do a nice job of distributing light and also reflecting it back upwards cutting down on shadows and everything being backlit,
which was a problem I had at first. That's why I laid a glass shelf on top of some extra white wooden shelves (10 bucks each) in mine, which made a huge difference.

 Re: Whole Collection Shots
If there is ONE collection I've been admiring for quite a while on SB (and that I consider a prime example to always keep in consideration) that is yours Scott. Congratulations, it's simply awesome. I love the fact that it brings together so many excellent examples, it feels very focused and carefully put together. Besides being inspiring, it pushes me to reduce mine and focus on those toys that really represent what I love in toy making. The mixed two headed Bemon is one of my ultimate holy grails, never the less seeing it in your collection brings me joy every time. Great great stuff!

 Re: Whole Collection Shots
Thanks so much Jared and Rob! You guys' collections are insane and I always appreciate your contributions to the forum as well. Trimming my collection down from where it was about 5 years ago was pretty painful at the time, but I've come to learn that having a finite space of which to display everything eliminates much of the unhealthy aspects about collecting that had always bothered me in the past, namely completism. Now, what to do about fitting in that pesky King Gorilla?

Now, what to do about fitting in that pesky King Gorilla?  This! Seriously is the best way to collect in my opinion. I cant honesty say that I love all versions of a toy equally and in my view it's much better to trim and refine than to just go for all of them. Putting limitations on what I collect and how I display has made collecting so much more enjoyable, especially when there's a new release that previously I would be chasing after and now I'm asking myself do I really need this one? For me it's Favourite examples of Favourite toys only. I'm sure you will figure that shelf puzzle out soon Scott, Bemon's looking a little outnumbered

Totally. Something i always have in the back of my mind. I'm curious about how you pick the Zags, Miborahs, Deathra's for your Gargamel display (I assume you go for customs only?) with the above in mind. Do you have a fixed amount you stick to for each sculpt, and do you force yourself to sell when you get a new one in or is it a looser process?

 Re: Whole Collection Shots
In my case, I don't really have any real hard and fast rules; only that initially I posited "If I could only keep such and such number of toys, which would they be?"
And those that remained all seemed to have things in common. For instance, I apparently like red, black, orange, and yellow toys.
Now, I just try to keep the whole thing sorta harmonious, and if I'm fortunate enough to make it to say a Gargamel show or something I keep the whole collection in
mind when I pick out new family members. Variety is key to me, so I like a variety of different spray types and rubs, etc.
And of course you can only cram in so many toys before you start experiencing a type of diminishing return, where the clutter begins to muck the whole thing up.
Or if one super loud paint job on one toy starts to stand out from the rest and begins to bug me, then I just try to trade or sell it as fast and painlessly as I can, like
ripping off a band-aid. Then you begin to realize that more often or not, it's out of sight, out of mind and you never really miss those that go, especially when what
remains is ever more pleasing overall. And of course, those super cool toys that never quite fit in are now being cherished in someone else's collection.
