    Good taste in figures. Now let's see 'em in an actual display!

    Hard to get a decent pic because of furniture in the way, but here you go:

    Also have a second display I will be moving my combiners to when I end up needing more space.

    Nice. :) 

    Thinking about starting a new collection thread too. They run their course but after a while it's time.

    Maybe do a recap post with all the previously posted collection pics before starting with the new stuff? Just checked it and there are plenty of great pics in your thread :thumb

    That's a very nice collection you got there. :thumb 

    I also love the way you have things set up.

    Oh, and one quick question: do you plan on getting Takara's Bruticus?

    Yes, he's already on preorder.

    I like CW Bruticus just fine, but he was always just a placeholder for the UW version. Picked up a second CW Blast Off specifically for the Renderform head upgrade, then I'll have my Combaticons with their extra team member like the other combiners :cool:

    Playing around with the idea of possibly cataloging my collection individually with pics like this:



    I'm incredibly OCD with uniformity but I can already see this project, should I take it, will eventually end up being a chore. Also, I still need better room lighting and an actual camera :eek:

    Thanks. The new one wouldn't be terribly different, just structured a little better on the front page. Plus there are pages of comments referencing shelving that's been repurposed in my garage and toys I've sold a long time ago. I think I've had the thread for five years and that's pretty good considering the couple threads I did before it.

    Back to your thread, I like the Smokescreen pic but I'd like to see the pic quality come up before you put that much work into a photo set. one fix could be to replace your light bulbs with ones that emit a fuller spectrum. Try LED bulbs that say daylight on them.

    Thanks! Will look into lighting as well as experimenting with some rudimentary lightboxes.

    I know I'm late, but nice pic of the figures on the shelves. Collections like yours make me wish ibhad gotten into the CW line earlier. I only have Bruticus. Seeing all of your combiners together looks awesome.

    Thanks!

    I actually had at one point 9 complete combiners but I ended up selling a few, removing some and replacing others. All this after having second thoughts with how I wanted my collection to be.

    Do-overs are never fun. Now I'm a lot more careful and mindful in what I really want in my collection.
