    I ordered that figure on a whim and regretted the purchase… until I had it in hand. It’s a fantastic sculpt with a fun transformation and a knock-out deco. One of my faves. Great photos!

    Probably won't interest you (or most) but I'll put in my 2 cents. Rather than display my collection as a whole in Detolfs/Moducase/etc, I instead put a small display case (illuminated with black background) right next to my computer monitor. I do a monthly-rotation of 1 to 3 MP figures at a time. I find it much more satisfying to be able see a small number of figures up close all the time rather than a large number from far away some of the time. I spend so much time at my desk it works out pretty well.

    Sorry to hear about your accident! Hope you find a good alternative to those Detolfs.

    It is the TFC Hades set for the Breastforce team, and Fansproject Saurus set for the Dinoforce.

    Stickers are from Toyhax, and I repainted the heads on the Dinoforce team to be animation accurate.

    I'm fixing a few Dinoforce stickers that don't want to stay on and a broken tab on Drillhorn before combining them again. I plan on taking some combined mode pics with MP Star Saber, KFC Victory Leo, and TFC Road Caesar soon to show how they size up to each other.

    haha I still <3 Mightron with his shin guards. MP-36 is chilling with Constructor and MT Starscream on the other side of the wall :D  He still looks the best facing off against MP-10 too!

    I am always open to options. Available space and available money are two factors that play into the decision making. The third option being convenience.

    If I didn't have my figures in Detolfs, my figures would probably just sit in their boxes up in my attic... each stacked on top of each other like Tetris pieces... and god forbid I need to get a figure from deep within the pile.

    My wife got a Milsbo and that thing is AWESOME!!! So, I'm thinking about getting two Milsbos to house a bulk of the collection... and then putting the rest back in their boxes.

    And after that disaster, I'm still quite thankful that I have a need for two Milsbos!! Because, I seriously expected significant casualties!!

    So this Thanksgiving I am thankful and relieved that I can still post new photos with figures that were almost destroyed!

    And what better way to celebrate that thankfulness than with some staged melees!!

    I mostly like the look of Milsbo but I hate the legs. Can it be built without the legs or are they integrated into the frame?

    So my wife assembled the Milsbo while I was at work. Thus, I must defer to her memory.

    She said that the legs are integrated into the base of the unit.

    Her take is that there is no easy way to sit the Milsbo flat to the floor without making some changes that are beyond the capabilities of probably most consumers.
