Title: My Man Cave Part II
Post by: Oreobuilder on November 21, 2010, 10:17:12 AM
My Man Cave project is moving forward. I've had some time to start setting up my Joe collection in the basement. I still have quite a bit to set up, but here are some pics of what is done so far. I will be using three of the four walls in the room to set up my Joes and TFs. Joes will occupy the longest wall and 2/3 of another. TFs will take up rest.

The first three pics are an overview on the main Joe wall.

And some details of the shelves:

Some ramdom collectibles: Comics, a 25the SE signed by Larry Hama, some product catalogs, etc

A very early look at my 2 PoC shelves. These still need some work. I haven't set up waves 1 and 2. I still need to figure out where my PoC Cobras will go.

That's it for now. There are a lot of empty and half-empty shelves that need to be filled. I'm planning one for my Cobra Arctic figures, one for my Adventure Team, one for some Robot Rebellion customs and a few more. As I set up more stuff, I'll update this thread as I go.

Thanks or looking,

OB

Looks really good and well thought out.   ( on a side note, it also reminds me that I must dust my entire toy room... sooner rather than later.)  :lol:

Yep D6 has been made for the first time in '84.. but I'm not surprised.. it's CookieBoy's joe room after all!  ::)
I'm j/k.. there's a lot of great customs in there.. I love that Star Viper and that Aero-Viper too.. very nice work!

Nice set-up!  It all looks very clean and organized.  So that's what a green Mauler MBT would look like... fantastic!  Also like the Iron Grenadiers HISS, very appropriate given the design.

Thanks for the comments guys.

Hehehe, Deep Six had to follow the SHARC and unfortunately, there wasn't enough room on the 84 shelf to fit them.  :wink:

I have a small container of vintage Joes (probably around 30 + some troop builders) that I still need to find a spot for, but my collection is mainly 25th style.

As for the solitary Snow Serpent, my guess is he got lost in a snow squall.  ;D His buddies should be joining him shortly. Just as soon as I can extract them from their plastic container.

I love seeing a nice, clean display. All my stuff is jammed together.

Now, which shelf are you setting aside for future Joe Canuck figures?  :wink:

Thanks, but I can't take credit. Someone over at Hisstank had the idea before me. It took about 3 hours of work (spread over 5 days to let the paint dry and harden). The stickers are from Cobrastickers.com. Personally, I think it makes a better DEMON V2 than HISS.

Morgardee, if I ever manage to get my hands on a future Joe Canuck set, you can be sure I'll to clear a great spot for it on my shelves.  :)
