Yeah, it's an accurate update of the toy, but IMO the DDP character is leaps and bounds better than the odd purple RV.
On the Joe side I have the Togglehawk, waiting for wave 3 preorders to go up. For TFs I have Boxbomber, Tigertracks, Tetra Sunstorm, Springer/Blitzwing/Sandstorm (I could give two shits about the character but that looks like one of the best mainline TFs in years), and the MP Datsuns in case my HLJ preorders fall through. |

I think the only things in my BBTS preorder are the Eaglehawk and the first wave of Pacific Rim Toys, because Guillermo del Toro plus Giant Robots plus Kaiju is pretty much the key to my heart.

...I knew I was forgetting part of that equation. And now it's too late.

So I put in my FFS2 order today. This was partially facilitated by a failed search for a new place to live. So I'm stuck in my drafty-ass apartment for another year... but I don't have to go through the whole moving ordeal either. Now I need to decide if I should go ahead and try to find a display solution for my joes, or put it off until they have a more permanent home. I can buy X amount of Detolfs, but for that money I might be able to find something more suited. Gah.

But how? I've been wrestling with that question for almost a year.

Go to Home Depot or Target or Wal-Mart. Find the long shelves that you set on brackets you set flush against the wall with anchors. Easy, satisfying, gives you lots of display space.

I did. It's easy and awesome. I even wrote about it on my rarely updated blog like 3 years ago.

The thing is, I can't do any more open displays. Especially with Joes... too much to dust, so I put it off, it gets worse, and before I know it everyone has a beard and has joined the Adventure Team. My desire to keep everything enclosed limits my options. Otherwise you're right, those are relatively cheap and easy to put up.
What I would really like to do is sacrifice 8-12 inches or so of floor space along one entire wall and just put up sections of adjustable track shelving, with sliding glass doors to keep most of the dust out. I figure $600 or so should cover it, and the work is simple. But that's not something I can do in a rental. |
