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! :)

NECA Jungle Disguise Dutch, Water Emergence Predator, and Jungle Encounter Dutch

Wow, these latest figures from NECA's Predator line has restored my faith! I was initially disappointed with their recent Aliens figures Hicks, Hudson, and Alien Warrior, but these new Predator figures are simply outstanding!!

Predator was one of my favourite action movies back in the day, so when these were announced, I just had to get them! And NECA did not disappoint. The paint app and detailing on the Jungle Disguise Dutch is extremely well done, and the headsculpt is pretty much as perfect a representation of Arnie as you'd get in this scale!

He is loaded with accessories, ranging from the bow and arrows, to the spears, to the iconic flaming torch he uses towards the end of the movie. The articulation is also very nice, with all the usual points of movement you'd expect from a high end 6" figure. The knees this time are not double jointed, but I prefer this with this one, since they make the figure look a bit more natural.

The Jungle Encounter Dutch is also an excellent figure. The headsculpt is great, but be careful of the eye paint app, which may appear to wide or too close together. Still, from a normal viewing distance, they look fine. The body is nicely done, and is not painted but molded in the skin colour, as is the head, which lets the other paintwork really stand out. He comes with 3 weapons, and the articulation is as great as with the Jungle Disguise version.

I already have one of NECA's older classic Predator figures, but this new one from the scene where the Predator jumps into the water and emerges to search for Dutch is just too kool to pass up!  The transluscent mold and electric blue paint apps are done beautifully, and the range of articulation is actually a slight improvement over the older Predator figures.

For a video review of all three figures, check out the Kool Kollectibles youtube channel review here:

Overall, I think NECA has knocked this particular wave right out of the park!! They come loaded with accessories, and look and feel extremely high quality! Definitely highly recommended!
