I would say this about your collection: ''Quality over quantity''...Every pieces in your collection is awesome !!!

No reason to call it humble. You have some really nice stuff.

Less is more

I agree with the concepts "quality over quantity" and "less is more".

Some nice peices in there. :emperor

Great collection. Don't worry about not having many items. I've seen people with huge collection, but the quality of their product was really low.

Thanks for your nice comments. And yes, I only buy stuff that I really want.
Next up is Dr.Doom and Venom 1:1 bust.

I agree with what's been said before--you have some great stuff there! And it's not so crowded that your eyes have no idea what to look at. Looks good!

Great collection, but no Transformers "Optimus"? :confused:

optimus

06-16-2006, 08:09 AM

Hehe, you're right... No transformars at all.
My org. nick is/was optimusmax (drank alot of pepsi max while watching transformars :monkey1 ), I just shorten it down for some forums.
So now you know the story behind that aswell :rotfl

Anybody wise enough to have an Attakus Hulk in their collection is OK in my book! :D
There are NO better Hulks available out there..............yet.

Nice display! I'm looking for the Yellow Attakus Daredevil, as I've now got
the Bowen Yellow Daredevil, and I just think the Attakus will be better.

Everyone else already said it..... You have a very nice collection that any of these guys would be happy to call their own. Humble was perhaps the wrong word to use.

I really like the Green Goblin version from the spiderman films (I'd never seen that before)

Keep Collecting!:lol

optimus

06-17-2006, 05:57 AM

Thanks for your nice comments!

JS: The Attakus Hulk is the best one I seen so far. No other even comes close in my mind. I'd also really like to have the 1:1 Alex Ross Hulk bust but no luck finding one close to home.

As You might have noticed my display is located right next to a window.
No direct sunlight but "normal daylight" is allways there :cool:
Is this harmfull? Will the colours fade faster?
I'm considering buying the Docent shelve from Ikea with glasdoors. Will that prevent colourfading or atleast slow it down?

Thanks for your help!

Optimus, (and other friends)

What is(are) your thoughs on the Attakus daredevil piece ?

It really looks promising and awesome, I am planning to buy it and could not decide what to do ?

Please some advise here ?

Is Bowen version better ?

Wow, now thats a really hard choice to make.
I like the first one (Game of Death) because he has the now iconic yellow jumpsuit.
The second one has a better face sculpt and some cool weapons.
Very hard choice. As you see, I couldn't choose, I got both!
As should you :rolleyes:
They get better and better with every new release. I really look forward to the ones coming out...

02-17-2008, 08:31 AM

:lol Thanks, I think. I really only want one Bruce Lee figure in my collection so I'll have to decide which one to get. I hope Enterbay will also make a classic Jackie Chan figure eventually.

Excellent collection man.

What kind of cabinets are those? They look killer as well. And did they come with the lights, or did you install them yourself.

They are called BESTA (BESTÅ) and can be found at your nearest Ikea.
The light are also from Ikea. I think they were replaced by a very similar looking one. If I'm not mistaken, the new ones are called DIODER.

Very awesome. Just remember, a collection has to start somewhere, and it will always start with 1. It takes time. Enjoy it because before you know it you are going to be walking around the house with a figure in your hand swearing every word you can think of. Of course no one else will know what's going on, but we will all feel your pain. There is always another figure with no room to put it, and then comes the re-modeling. And it's all for our collection.

Some of us have more toys than our kids. :D

I TOO just bought Enterbay's Bruce Lee version "B"(I haven't received it yet)

I held out this long to buy from this series because I figured they were like computers, they just keep getting better & better, soo I made up my mind to buy the very LAST version, but I slipped up, I couldn't help it.

Can't wait to receive it.

You won't regret it. He is excellent!
The best Bruce Lee I've seen.
Here's some more pictures:
