Fuzz posted:Rick Springfield has a ridiculous Kenner Star Wars collection. Yeah he evidently bought almost all of them new at the time because he liked the art and designs. I interviewed him once many, many years ago before his Star Wars collecting was really known and had some conversation about it because I had some vintage Star Wars pins on my bag when such things weren’t easily found or popular. He is a surprisingly really nice, down to earth guy unlike a lot of celebrities.

Don’t know what a Kane show is, but that’s cool he actually does some of that stuff in person. I only ever heard of him going to cons in costume, so he doesn’t get recognized.

I've been very busy this past year, adding more and more to my collection, as a hobby during the pandemic. My wife will now be working from home full time, so we used our other spare bedroom as a permanent office for her, leaving the original office for just my collection. Without further ado, here it is...(Thumbnailed for politeness' sake)

For real, fantastic collection, and so dust free. Cannot wait for my new case to arrive. Nanigans, what plastic risers did you use? I need to pick up a bunch of some of my smaller figures and should buy in bulk soon.

Louisgod posted:For real, fantastic collection, and so dust free. Cannot wait for my new case to arrive. I just look for the cheapest ones on Amazon. I've gotten all different sizes. I recently bought another set of 9 risers for $16, 3 sets of 3", 4" and 5" tall. Just search "acrylic risers" on Amazon, pay attention to the heights and pick the heights you want that are the cheapest. Seriously, these things probably cost pennies to produce and more expensive does not mean better quality at all. edit: eBay is a good place to search too, but can't beat Prime shipping.

Nine more Classics locked down. I'm firmly in the $50 min figure territory now. So many have just shot up beyond $150 that this is going to be a little more expensive than I had expected. Anyone wanna buy a kidney?

I’m really not sure what I’m gonna do if they keep releasing the things. I can move a few of the/non Smash ones on the very last shelf off, but after that... We’ve got Min Min, Steve/Alex, Sephiroth, and then Pyra//Mythra. I think they’ll just barely fit. Endless Mike posted:Ah to live somewhere I can afford an office AND a spare bedroom. Not having kids helps. I’m in South Florida, which has a high cost of living but our townhouse was under $300k, and we’ve refinanced twice, so our mortgage is about $1800 a month. Not much more than our one bedroom apartment when we first moved in together. And with 2020 meaning no traveling or eating out or tolls or gas...I had some disposable income.

I don't have kids! I live in DC where $300k *might* get you a one-bedroom condo in an old building unless I move out to the suburbs and lmao at that. (We have been vaguely looking and we could probably afford a smaller two-bedroom townhouse in a less nice neighborhood than we live now, but having lived together for less than a year at this point, we're not ready to be buying together.)

Oh man... MaxToy Japan is selling it's new wave of SSSS Gridman soft vinyls. This time they are debuting the Poison Gas Kaiju Benora! This release is also in colors directed by the original designer and the director of Gridman. Unfortunately only available in Japan so a forwarding service would be needed to get them.

Ah, yes. Those are the ones. I ran out of the original shelves, so the bottom tier is a slightly different Ikea shelf that blends pretty well. And thanks! A lot of changes to the displays. My collection is pretty much exclusively in my nerd room now while my wife’s classier stuff is where polite company can see.

I'm doing some refinishing work on my Batsuit Closet and then I'll have a big post with the latest photos of my TDK collection. But for now, some props from Tenet! Yes, the movie has some serious problems with character motivations, as well as being emotionally cold and the audio mixing was a disaster. But the plot mechanic is just so damned fun and what can I say? I guess I just like making props from Nolan movies. First there's the thing that seemingly everyone has, the backpack charm, which the script describes as a talisman. At first I thought this was just a wash on some paracord. But it's actually a 1943 British India 1 Pice coin on some sacred Hindu Mauli Kalawa thread. Some folks on the RPF tracked down the specific mask JDW wears in the inverted Tallinn car chase scene. But what good is that without an inverted air tank? So after some researched I decided what they probably used was this avalanche safety airbag canister made by Snowpulse. I bought a new one, depressurized it, sawed off some bits, added some others, and rubberized the top. Polished it up and built the holster strap and belt clip. Still not completely satisfied, I had to have a piece of the Algorithm. So here's my Plutonium 241* carved from a single 5lb block of aluminum. Finishing and weathering this was tremendous fun. I found the correct orange Pelican case for it... but I kinda don't want to hide it away inside something else. Bonus Red Room / Blue Room photo *I've seen samples of encapsulation in every weapons class. This is not Plutonium** **It's worse than that, goddammit.
