Some more pics of this side of the home theatre :)

Thought it was time for me to put back on display the Star Wars Vintage Collection figures I had collected a while back. And I'm definitely glad I did!! I'm really liking the way the shelf looks now.









With most of the TVC figures now up top, I think it looks much better this way than with the NECA 6" figures I had from the Aliens and Predator lines. Not sure where I'm going to put those, but for now this setup is the way I'll have it for a while :)

Ikea Expedit shelf with glass doors installed

The Expedit book shelf from Ikea is a pretty decent way of displaying your figures, but is wide open. To combat dust, Ikea released the glass door inserts for each cubicle that can be installed as you see fit! And they are pretty damn cool!

Here are most of the 6" figures out of the shelf for a quick clean before I installed the glass doors. Definitely seems the Black Series figures get lost in the awesome colour and vibrancy of the MOTUC figures! :)




And here they are all back in the shelf with the glass doors installed. Nice and neat, but still missing something to make it really pop. Not sure what, but will live with it for now. I guess there's still lots of room for me to organise my TVC figures and anything else I get in this scale (not much on order this year).




Here's a quick vid of me showing the shelf and glass doors on the Kool Kollectibles youtube channel! Hope you can check it out, subscribe, like, and comment with your thoughts too :)


Thanks, and talk to you all soon! :)

Bit of spare time , so some random action figure pics coming out this week :)

Still loving the Soundwave minions. Can't wait for Ratbat to come out in March with Soundblaster :)


Ravage on the hunt.


Now I reckon this would've been a pretty kool confrontation in the movie :)


Stay tuned over the next week for more random pics :)

Sideshow announces upcoming 1/4 scale Premium Format statues from Captain America: The Winter Soldier

Captain America: The First Avenger was one of the initial origin story movies from the first phase of Avengers movies that I enjoyed. The trailers for the sequel, Captain America: The Winter Soldier look pretty damn good too.

Before the movie has released, Sideshow has just announced that they'll be releasing 1/4 scale Premium Format statues from the movie! Click this LINK to see more details!




Definitely looking forward to seeing what collectibles both Sideshow and Hot Toys will be releasing for the upcoming movie! If you want to see what current Captain America collectibles are available at Sideshow, click HERE!!

End of 2013 Collection Summary

It's already past the first week of 2014, so I figured I better hurry up and post up an end-of-2013 collection summary. 2013 was certainly a great year, with 6/7" figures being the surprising factor. I spent more money on those than any other line of figures that I collect! I can thank getting into the MOTU Classics line late for that one, with some crazy prices for a small number of figures.

Either way, I'm glad I've left the catch up days of 2012 behind, and was able to focus on getting mostly what I wanted on preorders in 2013 (aside from the already mentioned MOTUC line). I only got 2 Hot Toys figures in 2013, with the DX11 Joker and DX13 Battle Damaged Terminator. I should've also got the Amazing Spiderman figure, but shoulder issues meant further delays on probably the most delayed Hot Toys figure ever!

2014 is already heading into a rush, with the Sideshow Vader on its way, and Hot Toys Man of Steel and Amazing Spiderman not too far behind. I also have Sideshow's Commaner Wolffe coming, and Hot Toys Robocop and 1966 Dynamic Duo coming later. Further to that, there's the Toynami Lion Force Voltron, more Masterpiece Transformers, new waves of Star Wars 6" Black Series, and the Kotobukiya ArtFX+ Avengers Now line of statues! So 2014 is looking pretty damn amazing already!! :)

Check out the end of year collection summary video on the Kool Kollectibles channel below:



Also here are some of the latest pics I've taken of my display room at the end of 2013. Can't wait for the 2014 figures to start rolling in! :)
