Welcome to the library owning club! It just occured to me that I have a librarian figure. I should put her into the set!

My first action figures were the Stargate ones by DST, and I clearly remember them advertising the library at the time. I was jelous what Buffy fans got, but it never occured to me to buy it as I thought it is too specific, everyone will recognize it as Buffy, and my figures have no use for a library anyway. Ten years later my collection has grown and I love to set up crossovers, the more mismatched, the better the fun!

I haven't yet made the book cases higher, for now I cheated. Sometimes an outsider's opinion is best and a friend told me to just put the first floor book cases onto the ground floor cases. It worked surprisingly well!







At first I did not like that the books were just stickers but they photograph surprisingly well, you can't tell on the pictures. Plus I love that they left empty spaces at the shelves where you can put real books in.
