1/6 Hot Toys Avengers: Endgame - Armored Thanos

[Hoody999]

I'll take some pics and throw them in the Display Your Collectibles thread...hopefully tonight. Appreciate the comments, I love the place! I work from home and it's great to have my "stuff" right in front of me all day.

Awesome, I work from home as well most days. Perfect excuse to kit out the "office" in a way you can enjoy the figures.

Some additional shots would be great.

This one is a personal favourite and currently my inspiration for my setup for the future. Probably more realistic to the space which I'll have.

Yep, I designed and built an entire basement of recessed shelving and then still had to get nine detolfs! My wife is a saint...

Dude, that is a SICK man-cave or "Geek Grotto" or whatever you want to call it.

I, too, would love to see more photos of the set up! It's dope AF!

Hoody999, that one is pretty insane.

If I remember right, Rzeznikk has a crazy ass man-cave too.

I envy you guys with entire basements for display. That's an incredible room, dennis.

But I would never play pool with my friends with detolfs at their back.




I have 4 detolfs. Need a 5th. And I have one older "detolf" - an Ikea display before they called them detolfs with thicker frame. I have more tucked away in the closet and garage than I do on display.

I really need a basement... but they pretty much don't exist in Los Angeles. 2nd bedroom is all I get... and I have to put the gym in there as well.

BTW, I just want to say that your elaborating on your display limitations has given me some perspective regarding your hesitancy about ordering the Mark 7 and the Vulture/Iron Scavenger. Now I think you should buy two of each.

You laugh now... but one day you will know my pain.

I'm close. I still have room to display new figures, but I've pretty much reached the tipping point on storage of Hot Toys art boxes. And God forbid I ever want to switch up accessories on an older figure. It's usually an hour just to unstack the boxes to get to the right one. lol

Yep.

I moved in 2016 and had to finally, after 10 years of collecting, pull ALL the plastic trays out of ALL the Sideshow and figure boxes (except HT) and flatten them in order to keep the art boxes. All those 'extras' are now somewhere in storage bagged-and-tagged. But I have no idea in which box.

At some point, I will have to do the same with the massive HT boxes. Its just too much -- to store figures AND their boxes. Something has to go, and at least for now the figures go for a little more than their boxes.

But it is painful... so very painful...

Originally my daughter referred to the basement as my "man cave"

Dude. All these years on the forum, I legit thought you were a female.[emoji23]

I feel your pain. I must have over fifty boxes stacked up in the garage.

Four figures/detof is too many. 2 is ideal and the perfect medium, 3 is acceptable if the third can be neatly accommodated like a towering K2-SO or an R2 unit. This allows for expansion for your detolf count.

Contrast and symmetry is key. A single figure really just doesn't have total weight, two can play off one another and offer visual contrast.

I agree with this. I have some shelves with four, and my collection looks cluttered. I have some shelves with two figures, and those look good. I need to let go of several figures.

When we first moved into this house the basement had an entire wall of closets with bi-fold doors and half-@ssed wire shelves (which weren't even anchored into the studs). The kids would play down there and their toys were everywhere and picking up was a nightmare. So I ripped out that set up, installed another wall a few feet further in, put a door at one end and converted it into a walk-in closet with floor-to-ceiling built-in shelves. It originally stored toys, luggage, sports equipment, off-season clothes, etc., but now it's about 70% collectibles & their boxes. I haven't resorted to putting any in the garage rafters YET, but that's probably the next step if I don't go your bag & tag route. Whatever I do, it needs to be more organized than my current situation.

You're not the first to think that (given my member name & avatar), but it's been a while. I guess that means I've never come across as a sexist pig, so I'll take it as a compliment.

The force is strong with this display......

Sure
I know a lot of people will be excited about getting that Stark Nano Gauntlet with this figure. But if it only comes with one glove I would MUCH rather have the first gauntlet. For me the first Infinity Gauntlet is more iconic and reminds me more of the gauntlet from the comics.

You should get the Infinity war Thanos then. (to be clear, I'm not trying to argue with you here)
This is Endgame Thanos.
Or Hot Toys can be a good company and include both. (Or at least sell 1/6 Gauntlet that can replace old one for Endgame Thanos)
