Finally!All moved in and ready to start blogging again!All of our furniture is in place,walls are painted and the creepiness of an empty home has pretty much diminished now that the family and i have become more acclimated and settled in.We love the new place but the highlight for me (besides the amazing kid friendly neighborhood) was the little gem of a room down in our basement!I can’t front,at first it sort of gave me the willies,but now it only gives me the willies sometimes.Let’s take the grand tour shall we?
Let’s just forget about the fact that these basement stairs look exactly like the ones in “The Amityville Horror” because i have.Somewhat.Eventually the ledge there will be adorned with MLB bobbleheads and the wall will have various MLB related pics and plaques.
A quick right and a couple of steps later leads us to the entrance of the new(well sort of) and improved(well sort of) AF&T base of operations!
Lets forget about the odd orb like apparition on the lower left side of the above pic and focus our attention on the old school , 70’s style wood paneling!SNAZZY ;)Let’s take a look inside!
This is a “before” pic of what the room looked like empty ,below are all of the “after” pics.The previous owner left a few wall mounted shelves behind and all were in pretty good condition!
This corner of the room is my favorite!I’ve got Marvel figures displayed on the top shelf and Joes on the bottom.Off to the right there you can see my mini homage to Snake Eyes.I chose my three favorite SE figures for this display.I was also able to set up an internet connection so all blog posts will come directly from the “toy room” 🙂
Yes!I can finally put those Retaliation zip lines to use!
I chose to display most of my vintage figures on the other side of the room,opting to only showcase a few 80’s Joes until i can find some stands for them.The rest of the pics feature my TF’s DOTM collection and a few of my McFarlane Pro Sports figures.I’m hoping to add some more shelving units soon in order to display the rest of my figures as well as vehicles.I’m definitely going to dedicate entire shelves to my small DC and Star Wars collection ,leaving empty spaces for future figures.Enjoy the rest of the pics1
Congrats on the new home. The toy room is off to a good start.
Thanks Buzz!
Nothing like seeing all your collection displayed like that. Beautiful stuff.
Thanks Kal.I’ve waited a long time to do something like this.
Nice Tony love the new HQ and it’s great you are back buddy.
Thanks jb!Feels great to be back!
Giddy up! What I wouldn’t give to have a basement!
Git yer hide back to da states already 🙂
Awesome!!
Thank you much FigFan ;)It’s the same thing i said when i saw the room for the first time!
The new room along with your collection, together just look fabulous! I too collect some Transformers figures and this is the first time I saw your entire TF collection.
Thanks Combo!I’ve been pretty busy doing odd jobs around the house and hangin’ with the fam,but i’m down in my new HQ every chance i get lol.
Awesome setup you have going on. The Transformer shelf looks very cool. Congratulations!
Thanks holmes 😉
Well done on the swift move man, looking nicely moved in.
Thanks Orniphus!
Very cool. I have to say that I am a fan of old-school wood panelling(very 70’s-80’s). I’m sure that we’ll see changes as time goes on, and your collection grows. That’s my favorite part of collecting; the constant changes. I look forward to seeing more collection pics as time goes on. 🙂
Thanks J!Changes might come sooner than later as it seems like my basement will be needing a little extra work.I’ve stashed all my figs..AGAIN…and will set up shop once everything goes back to normal.It sucks but hopefully things will straighten out soon.
