Came here because I just noticed BBTS got the Tantive Hallway in stock and what do I find^

Always thought it would be cool to display my 3 3/4" carded figures with their respective Hot Toys counterparts, but alas I have no space to really do that. Figured I'd snap some shots to see what it might look like.

Looks great! Too bad it isn't really feasible for me. Imagine how cool it would be to have the original sealed on card 12 back Kenner figures next to their HT 1/6 counterparts. Still a great idea for display.

Thanks! Yeah, if I had endless detolf space I'd go for it. But even with only two figures per shelf you can barely see the card in back so it becomes kinda pointless, just adds clutter. When I get time I'll go through and photograph some more.

Awesome display TonTon, even if it was just for some quick photos!

Nice work TonTon. I have been doing something similar as I downsize with my remaining SW figures.

I agree about the space issue with more than one figure on the shelf as with the Batman ones with the original Kenner figure in there.

Once Beskar Mando arrives it might have to all be changed.

That looks great, pug!

Thanks, Khev

These new 3 3/4" vintage figures were what started me down the collecting path in 2004 so I'd still like to find some way to still display them even though I've now largely moved on to sixth scale. Lack of space is the ultimate collection crippler.

True and a carded SW action figure collection is an extra tricky one to display I find. You want to see them all but you can easily start looking real messy if you cover all your walls with them.

I've seen collections where they are literally on rows of pegs like a shop which I don't get at all. Most are as visible as they would be boxed up in the cupboard still.

I am keeping mine all in the Deflector style cases and would like to display them on maybe 3 floating shelves that hold about 6 - 8 figures each in the office at some stage. Not show them all in one go but changing them over as I like. It might be a hard sell to my wife on that one though!

That was a really bad move...

Indeed , but lack of space demanded it. Still doesnt make it any easier though

People are already selling their preorders for a lot on eBay. $800-1000+ already. But yeah I'm not sure where mine is going to be displayed either.
