Hey everyone! Sorry for the bad pics, but only have my phone camera right now. Will do better shots when I get a new cam.
Most of these are 25th anniversary figures, except Quick Kick (from Argentina, from the 80s). Will be getting some MOC 80s figures this week. Assortment of Batman stuff, including a MIB Hot Toys Tumbler. |

I love seeing pictures like this. I open all of my toys, so my collection rooms don't look so neat and organized.

How do you play with your toys with them in those packages like that?

he doesn't. A friend of mine, cute chick actually, she has an awesome toy collection , but keeps 85-90% moc because she loves the box work, and to keep it more valuable and desired. The second the packaging comes off the value goes down atleast a 1/3rd if not half. Plus if it's a toy that had no articulation or weapons why bother opening it, or being selective of what you open, which is this guy imo, he opened all the hot toys figures or most of, because the wide range of accessories and amazing sculpts/figures in general. Also all the hot toys figures are double shadow boxes that house the figures which can easily be put back in box and nobody's the wiser that they were on display.

That's me as well =) What's the GI Joes encased in? Looks like some sort of plastic hard case. Makes me want to get them...kind of. |

thanks, everyone. i got the joe plastic cases from collectingwarehouse.com. i got fifty of them for something like 2$ per case. i think.
yeah, most of them are boxed. the thing is i used to have a lot of figures in the early nineties, then my younger brother would take them and perform rocket experiements. most of them were either lost or broken by the end of the decade. when i started working, and had some cash to spare, i started buying toys again, but traumatised by my brother's shenanigans, i decided to leave them in the box. i gues i just like the newness feeling, and working in advertising, i have an appreciation for good packaging. i have toys that are opened. i also have two toddlers who'd play with them and leave them in strange places. so the things i really like, i leave in the boxes. unless they're 1/6 figures. those i open and display inside the glass shelves. |

NICE collection Cap! It's always great to see fellow collectors' collections. I like the well-organized book case with the glass doors.

That is the first time I have seen someone showing the A-team 3 pack in their collection. How did you get it? I would love to find one of those for sale.
Great pictures . Thanks for sharing. |

Thanks guys.
I got the A-Team 3-pack from a toy store here in Dubai called Hamley's. IT was going cheap coz no one seemed to want them. I think I paid around USD10 for it. Unfortunately, that was months ago. Would have gotten you a piece otherwise. |

I love that Law & Order GI Joe with the Fridge advertisement on it. Those were good days.
