i didnt know your collection is so extensive. would like to seeyou display your entire Gundam collection. think you need to have another shelf. at the rate you're going you need to buy a house just to host your toys. Cool lah you!!
Wow! Nice collection there! Where did u buy your display cabinet from? Is it expensive?
Thanks.
absolutley amazing and astonishing collection, truly inspirational and influential to toy especially figure collectors in the world like myself, thank you for sharing your collection pictures
hi im tasos from greece my friend you have the bigest colection of figures i think in the world and the rarest here in my country theres not an interest to that kind of collections bravo
Hello,
My name is E-sha, and I have to say that your collection almost made me cry, (don't laugh I'm a girl.) I love seeing people accomplishing things that they love to do. I envy you sooo much! I wish I could have had that kind of money to get the action figures you have. I love all those figures. My collection will never be as good as yours even if I became rich and could buy them all straight out as there are many that you can't even find anymore! Bravo on a spectacular job! E-sha
Hi E-sha, thanks for dropping by with your comment. Glad to read that you enjoyed checking out my collection. Please don't envy me, been collecting for almost nine years, hence the amount of stuff amassed over time. :) Everyone's collection is unique and special to the owner in their own way, so don't diss your stuff. I'd like to take a look at your collection if you don't mind sharing them with me.
Awesome collection! Your DC stuff is awesome! I love the whole collection! The Superman shelf is top notch. Thanks for sharing!
That is such an awesome collection, I'm a big comic book and i could spend hours and hours and hours....and hours in that room. I love the over the top stylized ones like Mongul and Killer Croc, the Captain Marvel (nearer the camera) and the oversized Justice League (the ones based on the cartoon) are gorgeous and even though it goes against my usual taste I reckon those realistic star wars ones rock too, the old guy from Kingdom Come has so much personality, and that Akuma is just awesome, just one thing, more Batman less Superman! lol Just kidding i must just be jealous, this page is getting is getting bookmarked
hi johnny, glad to meet a fellow comic book fan. DCD's Mongul's either really loved or hated by fans it seems, no in between. Killer Croc's by the Four Horsemen, so it has to look good. :) Captain Marvel is one of the nicer pieces from the 13" inch line, which I think are the figs you're referring to in the oversized Justice League figures?
The Star Wars figs are pretty cool, pity bout the bodies. The whole KC line is beautiful, IMHO, while Akuma makes up the figures for my palty Street Fighter collection.
More Batman you say? Check back here in the next few months and I'm certain you'll seek more TDK Batman figs.
Thanks for bookmarking my page. :)
Beautiful Collection. Very impressive. I also have a dedicated room for my toy display.
I collect movies related toys
Cheers
Wow! This is one great execellent organized collection u have put together... I love it!! I can't stop
going through the pictures they are just eye candy upon eye candy... this is very inspiring to me thankx for sharing yr collection with us. Am already wishing for shelves like these.
thanks for commenting Kev, have subscribed to http://artfiends.blogspot.com/ via bloglines, always nice to meet a fellow comic/toy collector. :) Glad to share pix, if you're looking for such shelves, I got mine from Ikea for about $268 each. But if you've the budget, I'd suggest going for vhive ones.
Would love to share my pics with you. Just created a blog to share my passion in toys. Here is the link

Greetzz from The Netherlands!
Whoa! Great collection! I have just started my collection of toys a few months ago...hope to have a room full of toys like yours! Besides toys, we have something in common too : I live in SK too and I'm also a Liverpool fan!
Hey bro, awesome!!!Your collection cool! I'm just a beginner. just start to collect some figures, like Optimus Prime RAM dogde, Hot Rodimus Prime Ford GT, Hottoys the dark knight, Hottoys the Tumbler,& James Bond Quantum of Solace. Where is your generally shop visit? Get any cheaper prices?
Is the army figure right next to the motorcycycle a bruce willis headsculpt? And if so where did you get it? It looks just like him.
thank you so much shaun. great site, i noticed it about a month ago and i now check it daily. thank you for being so helpful.
sick stuff man , you should really display your gundams and your transformers collection is great to. I'm hopin to get a big colection when I'm a bit older.The thing I don't get is how people say its crap and all they don't see how amazing it actuly is!
hope you carry on collecting.

your stuff is sick (in the good way) and i think you should display your gundams also one thing is that i dont see why people say it dumb,crap and a waste of money, who knows mayby you will be short of cash and sell some your collection or later sell it for millions. i liked your transformers collection and you DC/Marvel collection
hope you carry on collecting

The Fortress is looking better and better! Thanks for posting the updated pics.
@Dash: Thanks for checking out the updated pix. :)
@Bracken: Well, the villains made the movie for me, hence their 'top billing'
I 'archived' my transformers superlink collection which freed up about three shelves, which i used to distribute among my 1:6 figs and Transformers classics. But yes, I hope to streamline the collection soon, i.e., sell off figures that never get the chance to be displayed.
I must say that when I first saw your collection about a year ago, my jaw dropped. Since then, I also started collecting {although mine won't match yours, especially [as pointed by E-sha I think] even if we became rich, some figures are impossible to find}.
It's either you're rich or you have a high paying job. Hehehe. Thanks for sharing. Your collection really rocks.
@Korndamned: For every mountain, there is a higher one. I would never claim to be the benchmark. :)
@Jcee: Thanks! For about ten years.
@m: m, I'm neither rich nor have a high paying job. As I started collecting quite a while back, I've sold off toys in my collection to fund new toy lines quite a few times.
Hi Shawn ,
Awesome collection ,one thing that makes yours a pleasure to look at it ,is that it is very well organised how do you do it ?
I have bookmarked your page and use it for inspiration to display my collection when i hit a rough spot on figuring out where everything should go ?I have four Detolf display cases from Ikea that i am trying to organise all of figures to display it's not easy any tips on what i should do ?
thanks
Jarkko
Hi Jarkko, thanks for dropping by. I try to organise my stuff thematically. I am using a Billy Bookcase from Ikea and configured it with glass shelves. The advantage it holds over the Detolf is that the shelf height is configurable. With the Detolf, you may want to consider buying acrylic step displays sort of what you see in museums, to stagger the height of your figures.
hi teo, thanks for visiting. Yes, space is always a concern as we constantly try to make more space for new additions. I understand you not wanting to sell off your collection for new items. I end up archiving all my old stuff in the storeroom, which honestly isn't the best method.
Great collection and thanks again for doing the interview!

Shaun's Interview
Thx for commenting on my toy collection. Seriously, my collection are too few compared to yours. Your collection are diverse and marvelous! They are so neatly and nicely arranged. I impressed Shawn!
I love the elegant, standing look of all of your figures. Sometimes posing them is cool but you went with the direct route and it's awesome. I'm posting a bunch here cause I'm new but I would love to get some of your takes on my toy collecting website called prideandtoys.com. Your collecting on a whole other level, from me that's for sure...
Hi Shaun,
After browsing through the web, i finally found a "detail" website on toys.. great site / blog.
I'm having a little trouble with space on the toys. I noticed that in one of your pics displaying the emperor guards (red and blue) above and below are the darth vaders, I was just wondering what's the item you used to separate them (to create more space)?
Thanks and hope to hear your reply soon.
Thanks for your prompt reply, Shaun.
Greatly appreciated.. you are indeed a great collector.
By the way, just curious, do you anywhere that is selling the hot toys 2 in 1 superman? I think the price must be sky rocket.
woah, shit!
your rich!
