Say hello to the current members of my collection. I've been building this up for quite a while...

My Robot Army, Part II |
My living room hosts my "bookshelf" (all the original contents of which [i.e. books] have since been moved
to my bedroom) and 98% of my collectibles. The top two shelves belong
to my Transformers collection, 60-plus-percent of which is dominated by the movie lines. The top shelf holds my Leader classes (Ironhide and Sentinel Prime) and the majority of my movie toys (such as all my Legends and, for the moment, the only Voyagers in my collection). The second shelf holds my Deluxe classes as well as anything from the Prime line. Also sports a l'Cie sticker. Just because.

Some assembly required. Get it? 'Cause...y'know what, nevermind. |
The third shelf holds the Megabloks section. While Megabloks shamelessly rip off Lego in the block department, the one thing they DO trump them on is articulation and detail in their figurines. Might be 'cause they're meant for a slightly more mature audience (as in kids old enough to not pop an arm off of a Covenant grunt and swallow/choke on it). Either way, their Marvel/Halo lines are bad-ass enough to warrant my picking them up for my shelf. Now if only they'd bring out a DC line. Speaking of which...

Clobberin' Time in Gotham. Or not. |
I have a standing subscription/agreement thing with my local newsagent for the DC Chess Collection. Or should I say the Batman Chess Collection (the official site bills this as Series 1. Series 2 better be the Justice League, OR ELSE. Godsdamnit, I want a Hal Jordan chess piece. And a Sinestro one, too). Anywho, these guys have pride of place on the black corner unit next to my big wooden shelf. Thing's there because he can be. Because he's Ben Everlovin' Grimm. Ares Armor Kratos and Dark Odyssey Kratos are self-explanatory. Would YOU defy the God Of War? (Special Guest Star: Optimus Prime 3D-Movie-Mask.)

Greetings, Programs. |
I stumbled on these purely by accident, but I am so glad I did. The only thing cooler would be figures from the original film. Rinzler and Clu were on sale in a model shop in Glasgow (£5 each) so I figured, why the hell not, right?

Filler. Ish. |

Most. Epic. Crossover. EVER. |
Our final exhibits are my "randoms" shelf and my "other movies" shelf, respectively. Both bobbleheads were found/donated by a very good friend of mine (he knows who he is), as was the BK Ironhide. Three of the Hot Wheels are from movies, the other two are (in my mind) connected to two of the movie cars. I'm weird like that. Also dragons.
So, there you have it. Transformers are taking a slight "back seat" until they release Wave 2 of the Prime line over here (and considering how long we had to wait for Wave 1, I expect to be married and a grandfather by the time we get Wave 2), so expect mostly...well, anything but Transformers.
Dude where you get that "AUTO" thing from wall-e from??
ReplyDeleteawesome collection as always. My hubbys one will undoubtedly get bigger *groans* where money could be better spent getting the house in some sort of order!! lol
