Hot toys Snowspeeder Pilot Luke Skywalker

[Rzeznikk]

I?m a one per shelf guy. Too many fingers on a shelf make them look like affordable toys. Which they are definitely not. Each figure deserves to shine.

[emoji817] This. One figure per detolf shelf. Each needs to be represented and displayed proper. Two at the very max. Three is unacceptable.

One looks great, and while I agree generally that less is more, Star Wars has so many pairings where the sum is greater than the individual parts.

Han without Chewie? R2 without 3PO? A good mix of one and two seems best for me, but in reality it's mostly all pairs. Need to get another shelf or two.

Two per shelf unless there?s one tall towering character and two normal sized characters (e.g. K2SO, Chirrut, and Jyn) or one small character and two normal sized characters (e.g. Wicket, Endor Leia, and Endor Luke). So, three per shelf can be done as long you get creative. What looks wrong is when you have three characters of the same height together on a shelf (although I?m sure there are exceptions to this rule).

You are correct same height groupings with more than 2 figures risks blending everything together throwing everything off especially under poor lighting conditions.

Even with my Marvel Legends and Black Series I use step shelving to give each line its own line of sight.

You ever see those ML and BS collections with 300 figures all on the same shelf with the same height yikes lol

If I had one or two figs per shelf, I'd need an Amazon fulfilment warehouse sized collection room.

How I wish I had a slim 15-20 figure collection to tastefully scatter among 5 or 6 Detolfs.

That reminds me 300 figures on the same shelf, Justin does the same thing with Hot Toys figures. Imagine having $50,000-100,000 (a rough guess) worth of figures all crammed together and packed so tight no-one can really see them. That?s like having a Ferrari and putting it at the back of a dark garage under a dust sheet.

Space constraints is the great equalizer.

No matter if you have $100,000 or $1,000,000 disposable income dedication for collectibles each year YOU WILL STILL EVENTUALLY RUN OUT OF SPACE!

Build another mansion, no problem right.

Guess what YOU WILL STILL EVENTUALLY RUN OUT OF SPACE LOL

The lesson here is don?t collect to the point of over clutter.

This is honestly what dictates my purchases these days. The rising costs of Hot Toys is much less of an issue for me than the simple availability of space in my home office.

Space is not an issue for me and I believe one entire detolf per figure is ideal. I can't believe people cram four figures into a single detolf, with another on top sometimes (!), looks cluttered. Lately I've started to say forget the figures and just collect the detolfs, much cleaner display.

That's okay I guess, but if you're gonna do it right, a single sheet of low-iron glass suspended in a white room by matte black finished steel cable is the only way to go. The essence of collecting distilled down into a singular, pure and immutable reference.

One per. With the rare exception of two. Example: Fett with Carbonite. Joel with Ellie. I also have Civil War Cap with Tony. And plan to put a Gandalf in with Frodo once Crown Gandalf releases.

I do have assemble case with Star Wars. Fellowship of the Ring and Marvel shelves. But as detolfs go I can't mix.

If I get more detolfs for my SW. I'd probably do Threepio with R2. And Endor Heroes together.

Your basement is like a museum.

I have to suffer with a portion of a room and only 5 detolfs. Many of my shelves are what you'd call cluttered. 5x Guardians of the Galaxy together... the 7 main heroes of Star Wars together, etc. I would like to streamline my shelves at some point, but it doesn't take long for them to fill up again.

Oh man! I just couldn't do it. My ocd would likely kill me.

Thanks man, but the down side to this set up is you do run out of space super quick. And no matter how much room you have you can only get so many detolfs till you run out.

In hot toys mind, they put up 2 Star Wars figures in July (regular and stap anakin), so they get to skip August. We have a small window to get one ot figure up for preorder before mando season 2. That sounds ridiculous, but it is true. Sideshow must be laughing at us, we took their figures for granted.

Fantastic displays, I don't think I've ever seen a custom Bender before, nice!

For me personally, I don't mind a bit of cramming, obviously space is the issue, but I don't think it takes anything away from the incredible figures to have 2-3 others standing next to them on a shelf, the headsculpts and outfits look just as good. I do try to set up scenes if I can too. They're figures so I like to mess with them and mix it up.

Thanks! Yup, I needed to make a Bender. One of my favorite characters from the 80s! Judd Nelson NAILED IT!

Here's a quick showcase video I made (not to derail the thread [emoji51] too late..)

As others have said, awesome display, Rzeznikk. Dig the consistent backgrounds. Probably makes quite the impression in person.

I'm much more inclined to isolate characters with a unique franchise to a single shelf (Deckard, Indy, Iron Man). But with so much of my display being Star Wars there's a lot of natural pairings to capitalize on ... and then of course, space.

Um, looks like your Jaws shark ate someone.

I have so many SW figs I'm gathering them not only by just movie or affiliation anymore, more by location. I've got a rebels Hoth cabinet, an Imperials Hoth cabinet, an ANH Tatooine creatures/droids cabinet, etc. - each with 7-10 figures in each.

I recently re-watched TBC and found the Bender character to have aged problematically (and even how the movie deals with him and his interactions with Molly Ringwald.) But who knows - maybe the current era is frying my brain, along with parenthood.
