Hello all,
I am a very new 1:18 collector with only two figures at hand -- the ROC Commando Snake Eyes & Mercenary Storm Shadow. I'm interested in knowing how the more seasoned collectors store, display, use, play, photograph, etc their joes. Thanks!

If you're looking for displaying loose collection check out this thread. You should get some good ideas here. http://www.hisstank.com/forum/g-i-jo...pics-here.html
MOC displays usually hung on the wall either in protective cases or on shelves.
HOpe that helps! YO JOE!

Discipline is not a trait of mine however......
Welcome to the board by the way.

I try to provide pics of figures from all angles... but I also try (try being
the operative word) to entertain. I'm sure some people don't
find my pics useful or amusing... but some do and so that works for me.
as for playing with them... taking pics is kinda how I play with them.
hehehehehhe. cuz it captures them in a story board setting.
i store mine in these really cool divided/stacking/locking/handle tupperware things you can get at target in the school 'bin' section. they're really light
and every other tier has a divider down the middle that is completely ideal
for two figures. and then the tier without the divider is ideal for bulkier figs,
weapons and accessories, or army builders.
