2014 Quarter 1 Collection Update

What a great start to 2014 it has been! I always make the mistake of thinking that the next few months will always be quieter, and I pretty much always end up getting some awesome stuff in cos my itchy addicted fingers can't help but click that buy button!!

So here's my 2014 Quarter 1 collection update video. I have picked up some great pieces these past three months, including the Darth Vader deluxe figure from Sideshow, Man of Steel from Hot Toys, and more Transformer Mastepieces from Takara.

Quarter 2 is looking great too, with a big Pile of Loot coming from BBTS, so stay tuned for that soon! :)

Here's the collection update video - hope you can check it out, subscribe, like, and comment with your own thoughts! :)

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! :)

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!! :)

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! :)

End of Q1 2013 Collection Update!

Thanks, and talk to you all soon!!
