You make the basement sound awesome! I'd imagine if you ever were to get a Flagg you'd have little choice but to make it the center piece of your collection... It's not like it can sit in a corner or something.

Yep, pretty much!

I've been thinking a lot about where I'm going to put everything recently. Right now the Flagg isn't part of the plans, but like I said, one day!

Can't wait to get home and get this whole thing started...

New pics of my NEW and IMPROVED MUSCLE display! I believe this was a spinning earring display from Piercing Pagoda. I got it for $10 from the flea market. I'd like a copy of the poster and I could remove the four side panels and hang them on the wall OVER it, but that'd be down the line. Or since it's clear, I might throw a small lamp in there and light it up.

They are all in numbered order too!

Battle Beast collection fits right on top too. Two great Asian imports on one tower!

That's just brilliant Slade... Bloody brilliant.

 

[Deak Starkiller]

Kick ass Slade! Very classy looking, cases always make collectibles "pop". BB and M.U.S.C.L.E.S. (Kinnikuman) ftw!

 

[galactiboy]

Nice one Slade... you weren't kidding. That is a killer way to display them

Some fun pics of vintage figures...

 

[Deak Starkiller]

Man I love the color pallette on 80's figures, they really photograph well! Great work Joseph! Glad to see all of the 'Cats together.

So many Awesome vintage toy lines in this thread!!!

Slade that is a brilliant way to display your MUSCLE collection, Congrats

Galactiboy, the pics of your Thundercat collection has inspired me to complete mine. I had most as a kid, still have them complete. Just need a few of the tough ones, The Driller, Stinger. Will post pics soon.
Thought I would post some more LJN goodness. Snuck a Playmates one in too.
BTW, Found Bode's helmet, a friends wearin it for now, till I complete his line as well.......
Yeah, I bought a Piper in a Hogan box.. I was a kid give me a break

Sweet pics GB! Like Deak said, the colors are wonderful... So damn vibrant!

Wow Stealth! Definitely remember those Photon figures, not to mention the LJN stretch wrestlers! Fantastic!

Well, I just pulled the trigger on what looks to be a pretty damn nice Amanaman and thought I'd share some photos:

The price seemed about right and the condition appears to be high quality... Guess I'll know once it's in hand.

[Skiman]

Don't anybody stand between Skiman and MOTU!

This has got to be far and away the best thread on the board right now... I'm not sure why but the entire site seems to have a different vibe recently. This thread seems to be the final bastion of normalcy now.

Agreed! Nobody nitpicks or trash-talks in here.

Your Rebo looks a little faded. Let me know if you're looking for a nice blue one.

Well, I just pulled the trigger on what looks to be a pretty damn nice Amanaman and thought I'd share some photos:

Nice! I haven't gotten one yet.

 

[Skiman]

^ NICE!!!

Yeah, he came with the set... and definitely could use an upgrade.

That is a really great display!

Are you able to turn it with out all the figures falling?

 

[Maglor]

Alright, I've been going through my old M.A.S.K. toys and buying odds and ends (a few masks and figures and one vehicle - Condor) here and there to get it to where I remember it as a kid. Just waiting on one more mask and I'll be done.

I'll showcase them all more later, but here's a quick shot of my temporary display:

In the long run they will either go back into storage of into a detolf.

I never had the band as a kid but noticed that lots of Rebos have that dual color look. Those are just faded then?
