Are you a Player or Displayer?

[Bo Shrek]

What do you do with your Hot Toys figures once it arrives and have finished doing:

The Opening Ceremony - look and admire the sculpt, clothing all the fabulous pieces and accessories.
Position like prototype - position them so it looks like your favorite “prototype” picture (ie. Sweeney Todd sitting on chair).
Share with friends - Maybe take a few pictures and post online.

And for some

I am a Displayer. I open figures, admire the piece, position it the way I want and place it in my display case. Then everyday after that walk by and admire their beauty. I don’t like handling them too much.

It’s weird maybe a year of waiting then only two hours of time when in hand.

I display my figures for 29 days and then return them. That way I get to have every single figure on the market and only for the cost of shipping. The most number of figures I've ever had on display at any one time was 138. Sometimes I'm tempted to keep a favourite but usually 29 days is enough to get sick of them.

i pretty much just open, inspect them, then position them on a shelf in the best/coolest pose possible........whether it is based on a proto pic or copying some freak's shots.

but once a year i get all the figures off the shelf and take them into the living room for a battle royale............

sometimes i let the aliens join forces with the terminators just because well.......how awesome is that right? but no matter the line they all join forces against "the dead" zombies...........much like in the lord of the rings when man joined with the elves & dwarves to go up against the orcs.........

the battle rages on for hours until the wife finally gets fed up and throws a shoe at me. bruised & battered i pick them all back up and put them back in place. the next 12 months i spend waiting for the fed-ex guy to deliver reinforcements for next years war.

yea that's about what i do............

I display them in watertight plexiglass cases that I store in an air-conditioned aluminum shed with no windows or lighting, that only I can access. No one else must ever know my secret. I clean their cases incessantly. They are so dirty. I hate them for that. But I would love them forever if they could ever be truly clean. Every once in a while I viciously smash one to pieces with a hammer and eat its head to give me power.

I display all of mine in tanks of purified water from the swiss alps, only then can I rest assured that no dust will ever fall on my precious figures... I also know that the rubber HT uses will never, ever dry out, because they're wet all the time.

I open them, check out all the accessories, drool over it if it's good enough, and then ponder for about 3 hours on where the heck I'm going to fit it. I'm fresh out of space.

Right now the bar in my kitchen is housing 3 pf's and will be 6 pf's before long. Good thing I don't use that bar.

But once I do put em up, I just admire them from time to time. Maybe switch up weapons or accessories to keep em fresh. But that's about it.

 

[Drakul]

Displayer all the way, hence why I prefer statues to figures.

 

[Ven]

i like to bathe with my figures.

 

[Raymond F.]

Im a player hater.

 

[Doctor Who]

I'm a pimper. My figures sit in front of the window with pink lamps and short skirts.

No condom, no deal though. Can't have my Iron Men fade because of that kind of... glue.

 

[tathataboy]

I'm a poser. I do re-arrange shelves about twice a year, except for my Fuzzy-Hair GI Joe Adventurer shelf. It stays put. But the others I reorganized depending on what I purchase/sell, and what new figure concoction I've come up with. I'll stop doing any figure stuff for a few months, then go at it like there's no tomorrow, mess with the shelves...then stop for a while. Pretty weird, but my wife's gotten used to it. Kind of. Ignores it, really, since it's all in my office...

 

[DiFabio]

I hoard them in a sealed vault anticipating the day where the value of them on the secondary market soars.

I did the same thing with comics in the 90s but for some reason, that didn't work out that well.

 

[kajobaldisimo]

im a poser. i collect to gain love and respect from friends and strangers.

but seriously, i open box, smell toy chemical, pose figure maximum 5 variations, choose pose, put in the shelf, admire forever, go preorder another or wait for next toy. happy life.
