Natron's mighty shelves (in progress)

[natron]

Hello everyone. I've finally moved to a house and have some space to display my collection, and I've finally taken some pictures! I have not yet learned how to futz (since I've never really had anything out of the box), and my camera is rather old, so please be forgiving!

I'm only about a third of the way through putting the room together, which will eventually be set up like this:

The left wall is three double-wide and double-deep Billy shelves from Ikea with Morebo doors, a corner shelf, then a single-wide Billy with a door. (The plush animals are my wife's collection.)

That's all I have set up so far, but there will eventually be two more wide and deep Billys on the right and one single-wide to store current customs and projects. The rectangle at the top right of the diagram is a sewing table (and chair), and the bottom right is another table in front of the window.

The big rectangle in the middle will be a three-level table, about 8x2.5 feet and about 4 feet tall, for a Lego city. I haven't built that yet, because I'm worried about how crowded the room will be. If anyone has any suggestions on how to set that up better, I'd appreciate your input.

Thanks for looking! Next post: Individual shelves.

In the first bookcase, I've got Sideshow G.I. Joe:

Mattel's Voltron (The black lion is coming this month.):

Knockman (wind-up musical figures) and some animated figures:

and Sideshow Star Wars:

The next shelf starts with Chinese legends: From left to right, that's Tao's Monkey King, Triad's Bodhi Dharma, the new InFlames Monkey King (my newest and new favorite!), and Kaching's Guan Yu vinyl statue.

The next shelf is temporarily holding weapons and rugs:

And the third is kung fu, which is just HT Bruce Lee and Enterbay's Yip Man (Donnie Yen) right now:

Below that is my Palisades Muppets collection:

The last wide shelf is all 3A. Eventually, the Chinese and kung fu figures will move to the other wall to be with Hot Toys superheroes and movie and video game figures (which aren't out of their boxes yet), and these two bookcases will be all 3A except for the Muppets shelves.

The first shelf is King Thumb and #10 of the Nefarious 10-Finger Gang (left) and the Adventure Kartel (with a mostly finished kitbash in front):

Next is a WWRp Bertie and some minibots and temporary Minimate storage:

More AK:

and Blind Cowboy:

The corner shelf is all plush, and the small shelf next to it is a random mix of various minifigures (OMGF, Crayboth), animal figures, eraser animals, and small statues; anything small and fun.

Really nice collection! I love the 3A stuff.

 

[Firebird]

Great collection and looking forward to see the finished setup!

 

[The Entity]

Amazing collection, Natron!
That Blind Cowboy freaking rocks!

 

[natron]

Thanks, yautja31337 and -jay-! I can't wait to see it finished either.

Yeah, 3A is really picking up. My preorders used to be mostly HT and Sideshow, but they're almost all 3A now.

 

[punkg42]

Cool collection! Oh how I want a Blind Cowboy and Horse...

 

[natron]

Thanks, Firebird and punkg42! Yeah, BC was definitely worth the price; it's an amazing set. I'm hoping to make enough room to pose BC on the horse when I get the next set of shelves. (He bumps his head on the shelf above him right now.)

I love your Muppets stuff.

 

[cplhicks]

Great collection!

 

[budafett]

Great and unique, keep it up!

 

[VoidDweller]

Great collection! Cool you have the Blind Cowboy with Ghost Horse. That piece is one of my favorites in my collection.

 

[natron]

I love your Muppets stuff.

Thanks, plasticcrapmoneywaster! (Great username, btw!) Palisades really did a great job on those. I'm sad the Sesame Street line never got made (except that Super Grover).
