Some of my collection

DJMONDY · 05-09-2022, 02:46 AM

Hi, I’m new here and I thought I would post some of my collection that I display. I’m 40 years old and I’m lucky enough to have kept most of my childhood toys. I do add to my collection fairly regularly but it’s mainly figures that I missed out on as a child or I like the look of that are new releases.

I do have quite a mixture so it does look quite cluttered in my small cabinet.

Many thanks for looking

Where did you find that Ghost Egon and Phoebe 2 pack? I've never seen it except for inflated price online.

What are those between Donatello and Batman?

What are those between Lara Croft and Skeletor?

What are those between Terminator and MIB?

Much like veryfigurefan, a very diverse and interesting collection!

And welcome to the Ark!

Hi, I found egon and phoebe boxed on eBay but the price wasn’t that bad at the time
of purchase. I believe they are quite expensive now depending on the seller.

The figures in between the first two pics would be James Bond jr figs or pirates of dark water. The third pic I think your talking about my Independence Day figures. I also have the queen alien which is amazing. It has a motion sensing motorised head that opens to show the alien inside.

This is my queen.

Hello. Welcome to the forum. You have a nice collection. Especially seeing the old toys made me very happy. We collect similar toys. Many toys from my childhood are in my collection now. I have been collecting for over 20 years. My most important goal is to combine old and new toys.

I enjoyed seeing many characters in your collection and I enjoy viewing the photos. As for the toys you will add, I hope you can find all the toys you want. Best Regards.

I was very happy to see your valuable words about my collection. I am very happy that you follow my collection and support it with your comments. Thank you very much.

As veryfigurefan said, you have an awesome collection of many toys that are part of my memory as a kid too

! You even have Mulder and Scully figures. Looking forward to seeing more and more pics as your collection grows.

I must say that if you've included photos of figures that you kept from your childhood, you must have taken very good care of them (my childhood figures were nowhere close in pristine condition)

Thankyou everyone

I was definitely very particular with my toys. Always put them away after play and I don’t ever remember being rough with them to be honest. Kind of an ocd thing. I’m happy I was like that really as I now have them in nice condition to display.

The mulder and scully are fairly new to me. I didn’t know they existed till about a year ago. They are fairly cheap to buy boxed too.

To prevent further damage, I had to box her up. I still have the alien ship hanging though. I have one of those smaller alien figure too, but I've completely forgotten they made the human figures. Independence Day deserve more toys.

The legs on my queen are quite loose too. I think I’ll get one of them clear stands to support her. I also have the alien ship and I’m looking for a solution to hang it inside my cabinet…what did you use??

It’s a shame Trendmasters shut down. I think they did a great job on the id4 figures especially the aliens they look fantastic.

Hook on the ceiling and fishing lines - they're clear and strong, will never snap!

Forgot to add my accessories solution. Used to have them in bags but this works a lot better. Need to get myself another box as I’ve now run out of space. Tmnt have soooo many pieces.

veryfigurefan · 05-16-2022, 11:52 AM

Extra toy parts are always needed. Sometimes for a figure, sometimes for diorama work or when creating a new character. Nice.

DJMONDY · 06-07-2022, 04:42 AM

Finally got hold of a decent and even carded Kenner two face. Anyone know why the window bubble is rounded? Aren’t they usually more square? Re-release maybe?? Either way he looks awesome and was really cheap.

veryfigurefan · 06-07-2022, 07:57 AM

Glad you found this figure. It is a very beautiful figure. I think it came out as two different versions. If we look at the placement of the accessories in the box and the writing on it, it looks like this. Also, this figure has a chain around its neck. In the other version, the chain is not visible.

It's a beautiful figure. Congratulations.

Thankyou

I never had much of The Batman animated series figures as a child so finding them in good condition or sealed is amazing.

They are great figures, I recently got the girls of Gotham city four pack and it was worth every Penney.
And I didn’t even know that chain necklace variant of two face existed, it’s great that you got one in such good condition
