    That's a very nice display, would you please post more of your display? I want to see how you placed the autobots. Thanks.

    Thanks guys. Here's a couple more pics.

    I have the '86 Autobots on a shelf "floating" away from the wall on longer brackets, so Unicron's wing can fit behind it:

    Here's the whole display:

    That’s breathtaking. So much care and thought went into making this display, and it really shows.

    Thanks! I take photos of different figures often enough that I just dust them off when I have them down for shoots. That seems to be a good enough routine to keep them looking presentable. If I notice one on the shelf looking particularly grungy, I'll take care of it.

    Thank you! Yep, this is just the latest iteration, things have evolved as I've gotten more figures and had different ideas on how to arrange them. The shelves are really easy to take down and reconfigure. Fitting Unicron (in place of the old 2010 version) took a major overhaul!

    It's a really funky ceiling fan! It's plastic but does a pretty good job of looking like bent wood.

    Amazing display, but it must be a dusting nightmare.

    Anybody looked into hanging Unicron from the ceiling (in either planet mode or robot mode)? Just wondering if this is feasible without damaging the figure....

    Well, couldn't get the rudsta shelf from ikea but did get the milsbo shelf for a bit more, and it's a bit longer. Can't use the stand, but it works really well for unicron

    Your display looks absolutely epic....especially like the right balance you've struck between the of number of figures and making it too busy.

    But that setup is a gust of wind, pet or mild tremor away from tears...

    And dusting.

    Just wanted to post it here that my Unicron finally arrived too. Woo-hoo! Many thanks to my californian friend Chris. :)  Shipping had to be innovative - apparently the box is so big in measurements USPS shipping to Hungary would have cost double the cost of the toy, and Fedex was not much cheaper either. So in the end we ditched the box, and he arrived in two parts - one with the body with the panels taken off and packed bunched up together, and another with the wings and stand.

    Took me a while to transform as I put on his backpack connector backwards by accident, but he is amazing. I am slightly worried about the stand and how it will bear the weight, as it already wobbles somewhat, and he is incredibly heavy. However, he can stand and be posed pretty well even without the stand.

    What a journey it has been since 2019... I still remember, lying in bed with cast on my leg, waking up in the middle of the night to check on the kickstarter numbers, or this topic. :)  Truly memorable, just as much as the toy itself.

    Nice, hmm this means the Ark is kinda short, more about Omega Supreme size than Fort Max's?
    I don't mind since I still have to fit him and Black Zarak on my desk. I sincerely hope Hasbro makes no more titans because I have no more room. :D
