I started collecting again in March 2014. Collecting mainly MP and 3rd Party figures from Season 1 and 2. I also have an IDW collection.

massive update... New display video... https://youtu.be/7G2ZMkOxuRU

 

Great displays!

Technically, Springer isn't FOC, but to each his own...

 

How can you take off Bumblebee's doors?

 

pretty cool

 

preety tidy

 

oops, not sure where I got that idea from. What's he based on then IDW?

Ya the doors just pop off and I store them separately. So does the hood panels over his shins. They even press fit on the back of his feet.

 

Yeah, he's pretty much a spot on LSOTW Springer.

 

Very nicely done!  

 

awesome...nice flawless mix of lines into displays. i especially like the stands for Powerglide and Cosmos.

It's from Marvel legends' Bishop. Had to modify it to fit though.

 

Your pics look so very nice. I can't wait to see more as your collection display evolves.

As a friendly concern, I worry about the figures being displayed so close to the windows. It makes the display more attractive, but overexposure to direct sunlight (UV rays) is very damaging to the figures. Overtime, it will cause discolouration, and accelerate their deterioration.

I don't mean to scare you. The window blinds help a little. I myself am thinking of investing in some insulating film covering for my windows, which will protect against the harmful UV rays.

 

Do you think it will still be an issue if those blinds are closed 99.9% of the time?

 

I'm not sure. With your interior lights turned off, can you see any bright direct sunlight that shine through the cracks of the blinds onto the figures?

Indirect sunlight exposure also affects plastic and comics, but at a much slower rate. UV reflecting off walls. For some people, they have nowhere else to display their figures except near windows. I suppose it all comes down to how paranoid the collector is. We either accept the fact and just enjoy the figures, or we take the extra precautions to try and prolong the condition of our toys.
Such as keeping them away from UV light and clear of dust/skin oils, and air conditioned.

If you really care about the figures, there's always UV filter blinds/curtains, or solar insulation film.

 

Nice!!!! I really like the YOTH prime deco with the gold parts repainted.

 

Where'd you get that stand for Cosmos and Powerglide? They look very effective.

 

I made them... check out my Radicons thread...

Added MP Grimlock today. I'll be buying a new wall unit soon so I'll have some more room for my collection and get them away from the window. Thanks for the feedback guys!

 

Nice collection and nice ideas sir

 

Added new detolf stand, added height mods to Devastator and Brawn and added Fansproject Insecticons with repro logos and oversized KO Insecticon's Guns, Wings, pincers, etc. I updated the first post with several new pics.


Also, I have MP Starscream on the way!!
