I'm still redoing some displays, and need to take updated pics in general, so this is more of a parking spot to remind myself, lol.

In the meantime, I review some lesser-reviewed toys (no Legends, no Transformers, no Black Series) on my YouTube channel, if you'd like to check it out:

Did you get the message I left in the comments of your Panda Khan video last night? I saw you were back on Fwoosh and I left a message in comments letting you know about this place but it deleted itself within seconds, probably because it flagged as spam since it had a link in it.

I was also going to email you but absolutely cannot get back into my [email protected] account and Google was not helpful so I didn't have your address anymore.
 
So glad to see you here!
Ru!!!

Oh, lame. No, I didn't see it, but yeah, they auto-delete comments that even say the word "link"... 🙄
 
Finally took some time to get some pics while the natural lighting was good (but still used flash to help out - I just didn't want them to be completely flashed out)!

This definitely isn't everything, as I'm in the middle of redoing some displays (though I did include some that need to be redone, as I'll notate where appropriate). There will also be a LOT of unfinished customs lolol.

And apologies for the dust. If I'd waited until I'd cleaned everything first, this thread would still be empty lol...

Lightning Collection - can anyone please help me with a Remastered Blue & Rita? 🥺 (Still need Johnny & the other Cobra Kai kid, too)

RBf198K.jpeg

I'd love some more monsters, but I'm not hopeful for Playmates' garbage (and of COURSE, they're making Bulk, Skull, Squat, and Baboo... 🙄🙄🙄 Really sucks Super7 cancelled their Madame Woe. I was really looking forward to her. I still need to color in Rapper's face, too, lol.

Spider-Legends (I couldn't get a satisfactory shot where Silk & 2 of the 3 the Iron Spiders weren't blocked, sorry)
ptGbIMV.jpeg

Sentinel Gwen, Miles (YES, HE'S MISSING HIS RIGHT SHOELACES. I DON'T KNOW WHERE THEY FELL. 😭), and Noir. Mafex Night Monkey. Can't wait for Sentinel Punk. REALLY REALLY want Figuarts 2099 & India (though I guess I'll wait until Sentinel, since I've been all-in - minus SP//dr - so far...I want that SP//dr & Peni, just haven't gotten them). Loose Collector Critter seemed like she fit best here than any other display, lol.
wHRRKXW.jpeg

I need to paint that head cast for my "Tombstone", though, it's gonna be the reverse of how he's supposed to be (grey skin, white hair), because I want to match the plastic Hulk flesh, and not have to paint all of that, lol. Animated Vulture body, classic Vulture wings, 2-pack Vulture helmet, which, YES, IT'S TOO SMALL, BUT I STILL LIKE THE LOOK OF IT, OKAY!? 😅 My Prowler is the Lizard wave head on the Lizard wave Paladin body with guns. I don't remember what I named Miles-Prowler (Miles "Tails" Prower? lol). Really hope we get a comic Spot. Also, do I need more Stilt-Man extensions?
XcHpKyc.jpeg

I need symbiote names for the purple Spidey, Gwenom, & the upcoming Gamerverse blue Venom...extra Inner Demon heads on movie Logan & Krakoa Xavier bodies (definitely wasn't able to buy multiples of that set back then, definitely can't now, lol). G.I. Joe Classified muzzle flashes for Flash. I definitely regret passing up on Cloak & Dagger, so here's hoping we get upgrades. And OH, MAN, PLEASE LET THAT CARDIAC RUMOR BE TRUE!!! I know Sleepwalker is a hero, but his 90's trading card always made me think he was a Spider-Villain (despite the card literally saying he was a hero, lol). Same with Lilith, which is why she's here (I don't really have a supernatural Marvel display - Blackheart is still headless, all my Doctor Stranges are MCU, I have no Blade, and Danny Ketch is just off by himself because of his bike).

Vacmetal Bluegrass & Steelwill literally just hit my PoL while I was typing this post up, so this will be quickly outdated, but Silverhawks:
mOeESqZ.jpeg

REALLY hope they give us some more heroes & villains, and vacmetal Copper Kidd...

I have Berbil Bill, but haven't opened him yet, because I want to do so on camera, and I'm missing every other unique character currently out, but Thundercats:
ieb6lB4.jpeg

I really hope I can get caught up at MSRP at the most, though I definitely will need to spread it out into two shelves. I don't have room for the three Reptilians or Lunataks.

MotU - can anyone please help me with a Webstor & Adam, lol? (I do also need Clamp Champ, but he's been sticking around MSRP, last I checked)
bhhPfLp.jpeg

He-Man is Savage's head on the new Flying Fists' body with the glowing sword that Gwildor came with (and a ML lightning effect). Orakle (I love that name so much) has ML Nimrod effects, McFarlane or Loyal Subjects Avatar effects (can't remember which, can't be bothered to look them up lol), the Origins stand, and the Gwildor 2-pack Orko's rings effect thing. I need another knee pad for Man-At-Arms, lol. Revelation side buzz Teela head on the classic body, then Andra's helmet, hands, and New Adventures He-Man's sword & shield on the Revelation Teela body. You can see Ram-Man's disintegrating pants. 😒 MotU Classics Battle Cat.
AXsFEFe.jpeg

MotU Classics Panthor & Gygor. Revelation Mer-Man with New Eternia's armor. I do have two of the first Revelation Beast Men as Beast Man's "Beast Men" but there's no room, obviously, and I'd like to get another of the new Mer-Man so my mish-mash here also has two cronies (at least have the one, also not pictured lol). Also wanna see if the new Beast Man head works with this body...

Anthros:
tLJs9ZG.jpeg

Well, shit, I missed a shelf...my Medieval stuff, which has most of my Necronominus Legions...

Spawn:
7USsX6Z.jpeg

Two DC Multiverse Templar Azraels as more angels. Warhammer Genestealer. Hasbro Angela. Classic McFarlane Mandarin. Gave Commando She's guns. Only have Overtkill because I got him for $9, lmao. It's a shitty, shitty figure. Wish I'd spent $5, lmfao. AquaHush is going to be Cogliostro, lol. Need to repaint the hair, dirty up the coat (he has the shovel), and find a hat. Any help with the hat? I've been stumped for forever...

The Horseman of Death himself: (can anyone please help me with War & Famine, please, lol? Pestilence looks to be still available, I just need money...)
b0RqcXM.jpeg

The Turpiculi is off by himself in a much more highlighted part of my apartment, because he's my favorite (and also wouldn't fit on the Medieval shelf because of his arms lol)

Gargoyles & Plunderlings (really upset the former is officially dead, especially since there were two prototypes we were teased with & now will never get):
AA8KFws.jpeg

MotU Whiplash torch for Angela. No cape wings for her or Hudson ever. Sigh... Flying Steel Clan is on a Hot Toys stand (Vol. 1 Groot). Pulled the neck off of Xanatos Steel Clan, so it looks like empty armor. Got a gun off eBay for Elisa.

Toony Terrors:
DUXVwxw.jpeg

I need a longer shelf. I do have the four (color) Universal Monsters, but there is NO room left here. Still really wanna learn 3D modelling so I can print ones they'll never make (y'all thought I was joking about "Final Reveal Angela" from Sleepaway Camp 😅).

DC & The Boys:
hzqmbcR.jpeg

Superboy is sitting in my HLJ Private Warehouse, I just have to ship him. DC Direct Michael Turner Darkseid. Movie Mafex Black Manta. Classified Scarlett crossbow for Huntress. Maestro Union BBTS repaint as Killer Croc (thank you, NORM!). McFarlane CnC Nanaue. Mafex movie Birds of Prey "Bruce" as Bud & Lou. Yes, I got an extra Hush to make standalone Jason, lol. Still need help with the arms. Need black or red arms, but also black or red butterfly joints, too, and compatible with the arms & torso. Sigh.

Post image count limit is 20, so more are coming imminently...

Movie TMNT:
dvb7Fzr.jpeg

I need some good 1:10 Asian male heads for the extra Saki/Yoshi/Keno bodies. I know I could get one from McFarlane Liu Kang, but stumped as to the others...Oh, and Sam Jackson is Baxter. Not my idea, but I loved it enough to steal it, lol. Non-Turtles characters are their own characters, I just thought they looked good in the display, lol (I need to find Noah's gun, though).


Vintage TMNT:
4KcgD7E.jpeg

ZH8Dg9G.jpeg

I have the Trick'or'Treat Studios Toxie & Killemoff, but haven't opened 'em yet. I just realized that I might still have my vintage Biker Mice & Limburger...

Super 7 TMNT:
hzx3Sp1.jpeg

ljyrcaa.jpeg

I am still needing any original characters currently out. No money. Buy my shit, lol.

Forever incomplete Bucky & Barnyard...sigh...

"Fancy" TMNT:
Dt2IrSo.jpeg

Dark Turtle was in my Toon display, but I had to make room for Tattoo.

Mirage TMNT:
8MtV11G.jpeg

Really want Leatherhead & red Shredder (though, I'm gonna hafta sacrifice a Foot Soldier, as I don't want battle damaged or the new enormous one). And Professor Obligado, though I'll likely stick with this April. We'll see once I get the new one in hand, whenever that is. Grateful to a local collector for gifting me the new Assassin. 🥲 (Renet, Honeycutt, Savanti, and Simultaneous are in my "default" display.)

The only Voltron I'll ever need (though I do have the Mini-PLA model kit, haha):

KwqNTiH.jpeg

Baxter proper is the fly. My Slash proper is the VG one. The utrom in the Toon android body is "Krang," the rest are just utrom. I cannot wait to add the Super7 Ch'rell (though I REALLY wish I'd been able to get the extra one in the preorder pack, goddamnit). I want blue Bellybomb for another of his same species (Archie Ace will be the same), and will add his Krang to the row in front (also need one more smiling head - think of them like the bouncing heads in Spirited Away lol). The headless Select Hulk is going to be a Toon-style Zog, if I can ever find my extra Zork head. The extra Zarax with the eyepatch is an in-progress Mozar, and I eventually want to repaint one of the oranges into the toy colors. The extra Usagis are just different characters of the same species. The human Stockman is Barney, I just need to paint his hair (thank you, Misfit, for the extra head!). Really want Creepy Eddie/Shibano-Sama, keep finding them, just no money at the moment.

King Valkyrie, Domino, and Kingo were all sacrificed to the custom gods. I have a replacement Kingo, I just haven't opened him yet, lol. I have the Outriders (only two - I'd love more packs, but I'm short on money, and obviously space), Colossus, Man-Thing, Wolverine, and Negasonic Teenage Warhead (she used to be in my comic X-display, but has since been replaced by my custom - see my custom thread here), just need to figure out how to fit them all in, lol. I feel like Colossus & Man-Thing might fit back by the portal, maybe? Mark I Ant-Man is supposed to be Hank, hence why he's on the shelf with Peggy & T'Chaka (though father isn't separate from son, lol - Rest in Power, Chadwick. Wakanda Forever). I think those are all of my Dora? I might have a few more in storage... Villains shelf Daredevil is supposed to be Bullseye (I haven't seen Born Again yet, but I've seen all the customs of his better look). Iron Patriot is Savin. Ragnarok Korgs are just nameless Kronans. I just realized Iron Maiden is behind Taskmaster (I know Melina was a hero in the movie, but I've been trying to go with a mix of comic & MCU canon). Christ, and Ned is behind Goliath, lol. Sigh. I tried, guys, I really did, lol. I think I covered everyone "missing..." Oh, I don't know how I'm explaining the two Marc Spectors, haha. Marc is in the traditional garb, Steven is in Mr. Knight, and they somehow got separated? Really hope we get a Jake & that his costume looks cool.

Still more photos coming, limit hit, have to do actual work at work, lol.

Star Wars (needs to be massively overhauled - at least the non-Mando shelves)
ynwKPpG.jpeg

I have all the Shriek-Hawks, just need to try to squeeze them in. I'd prefer all the saber-wielders to be on the same shelf. NECA Destiny Cayde-6 with the Mando allies/enemies. He'd definitely be an ally, lol. Mafex IG-11. Old Animated Clone Wars 1:18 Todo 360, since the Black Series one was impossible to get. Death Watch Commander was a "custom" from my local collectible shop; the previous owner put a Marvel Legends Hope cape on him, cut out the back for the jetpack, looked awesome, so I grabbed it, lol.
RcIGRIe.jpeg

New Gree 2-pack Yoda with Dagobah backpack 2-pack's robe. I combined Cloud City & Comic Book Leias into one "ideal." I JUST got Jedi Luke from my local collectible shop for $8!!! That is not the head either version comes with, but it was the one on the figure at the shop, and I happily accepted the previous owner's headswap, because it's probably the best Luke head I've ever seen (actually, now that I think about it, it might've been the same person who did the Death Watch Commander)! Named the white holiday Ewok "Epreeke Jalerraa," which I got from an "Ewok names" site (might've been one of those random generators?). Definitely need more Ewoks. My cobbled together "ultimate" Threepio - Force Awakens red arm, Rise of Skywalker head, Empire Chewie 2pack for the rest. Robo mods for Morgan Elsbeth - MCU dark Scarlet Witch hands, Dr. Doom/Loki power effects.
2dvjErp.jpeg

Figuarts FN-2199 ("Traitor!") behind Kylo & Dagan, Mafex Phasma. Mafex Stormtrooper behind Grand Inquisitor. Battle damaged Black Series Phasma is "Pyke," to go with her & Pyre. Obviously not all of my Black Series, but man, I have a two bedroom apartment, and one bedroom is storage, so I have limited display space - I gotta pick & choose what lines get represented, and how fully lol. SW means the world to me, but there are toy lines I like better that get priority/more space.

Transformers:
eohj23j.jpeg

Ark used to be in Bot mode on the top shelf behind the Autobot Gestalts, but had to make room for the growing 13 Primes.
FoQyEQu.jpeg

Need to get a razor saw & figure out the pins so I can rotate Menasors knees around (I did swap any parts necessary to ensure it doesn't negatively affect trailer transformation). Still want the DNA hands, but only the hands. Need to figure out a translucent horn for "Trypticon." Beast Silverbolt isn't a villain, it was just the best spot for him, lol.
4naAbC2.jpeg

Can't wait for the new Alpha Trion, though hoping this head will work on it. Fallen is one of the best figures of 2025, so happy to have him. Definitely going to have to make another riser to fit all 12 (don't want the 15" Prime, though I just found out about the Generations Selects version, and really want him).
fAcAMN5.jpeg

Really need a better Prowl, really need Earthrise Hound but with translucent windows & not in a 5-pack, really need opaque Rewind (though they'll likely stick him with a larger set to milk us 🙄), really need Ramhorn & kinda like the new colors on Perceptor, but couldn't afford it, and now they're sold out. 😰
nPbwXMX.jpeg

Really wish I had the black toy version of that MMC Ravage. Anyone have him & wanna trade for the toon version, lol? CanNOT wait for 86 Megatron. He looks SO GOOD. Hope he still fits in the throne lol.
TxuihQu.jpeg

I need to fix the Armada & Sweeps, lol. My initial Cyclonus got a non-rubsign & Scourge got red eyes. Then when we got the new versions, I picked up the extra Classics versions & just haven't gotten around to matching them to my originals, lol. I call SG Hot Rod "Hell Rod," lol. Call SG Sideswipe "Fenderbender," and painted the Bot symbol red, and stuck a Toyhax Con symbol over the sculpted red one (I didn't & still don't have purple paint lol).
OwcCJTV.jpeg

Still need to put the better Hardhead face (on his body) on the back of the better Duros (at the front of the shelf). Prime Arcee is my Chromia. Still need to paint match Smokescreen's blue (I hate his no-neck look, sorry, GeeWunners, lol). Ironfist's thigh broke as they were known to do, though mine still held out for probably a decade, if not longer. Need to to the pin fix. Kup with Orion head is Crash Test, and I want another of those DNA parts so he can fully detach all limbs (I mean, he can, but won't have the caps for all four), and eventually add some white & magenta to him.
vjPhINO.jpeg

Noticed after taking the pic that big hole in the back - that's where my third party Fallen was. Sold him because of the new one. At my old apartment, this shelf had Prime Soundwave as a renamed character, but I don't know where the fuck he is. I swear I saw him at this new apartment, so I wholeheartedly do not believe that he got lost in the move. IDK, man... Regret not knowing about the better Siege Soundblaster (with the factionless symbol) until it was sold out, because I had this one. Oh well. SG Blurr is "Blackbolt." Twinferno has a con symbol, I believe? We really need a Legacy version of this Blackarachnia. This is my favorite version of her, but the Animated style does admittedly stand out like a sore thumb, lol. Decided too late (because no money, he's thankfully still in stock) that I want the comic Straxus, and kinda really want the Legends Death's Head to add to this shelf, lol.
oHRMBkm.jpeg

Thankfully they're "reissuing" Beachcomber (since they failed to distribute him in the first place), unsure if he'll replace my tinier third party one. I'm weird about alt-mode scale, lol. Hence BIG POWERGLIDE & SEASPRAY. 😝 Silverstreak with Mirage head is my custom character Zade, who I made an Alternators digibash of first, then a fully-painted Classics version. Unsure what I want to do here, as this is my second attempt. My first attempt at this mold was a full repaint, but due to no good place to use spray paint (I live in an apartment, lol), it turned out terribly (wasted an ER Sunstreaker head, too, sigh). I have a third one (all three were purchased on clearance! lmao), fully dismantled in a Ziploc bag, awaiting the day when I can try a repaint again, lol. 🫤 I really need a new & better Punch/Counterpunch. SG Goldbug just got a regular Bot Toyhax sticker to be regular Goldbot, since I was never hopeful about that multipack one. I managed Legacy Prime Cliffjumper from someone who bought that set & didn't want him. My original (First Edition) Prime CJ had his horns cut off & head repainted grey for my Windcharger, so I guess I'm calling this one that, too, just haven't gotten around to altering the head yet. (Can someone please help me with a Generations Selects jeep Excellion/"Hot Shot", too, lol? I didn't know it existed when I got the Legacy sports car one, and he was one of my favorite characters from Cybertron, and I loved that original Cybertron Defense figure.)

My original childhood audio cassette (and I did have the Making of VHS, but this is not my childhood one)!

Literary Characters:
dUWKvxk.jpeg

(and I wanted to show off my Shining photo because it's right there lol)

My League of Extraordinary Gentlemen:
07r8dUV.jpeg

I'm still not happy with Nemo (Old Man Hawkeye). I REALLY want the Mezco one. Super proud of my exceedingly simple Allan Quatermain. Still super pissed about how McFarlane released that fucking polar bear, lol. 😒

My "Satanic Goat" shelf lol:

Holidays: (with some of the randos on the book shelves in front of them - those book shelves just have books, sorry, lol) (and BOOK books, not comics - my graphic novels/trade paperbacks are in my bedroom)

I do have all 9 Reindeer, too...

One more coming...lol

Operation Monster Force:
NsthBQa.jpeg

I do have the orange Cowboy Epic H.A.C.K.S. skeleton, I just need to dig him out. I also had more grossly underscaled McFarlane Walking Dead zombies, but they wouldn't stand (because McFarlane) even with heavy duty poster tack. I do plan to phase them out as I add more to the Forgotten King's shelf, I just didn't want him all by his lonesome lol (I will leave the twelfth scale skeletons, though).
BW5D6Gu.jpeg

Werewolves are a little crowded, but they're my favorite monster, so...I know the Kenner RGB is out of scale, but I can at least excuse his shortness because "Short King" lol, and I can excuse the NECA London soldiers the same way I can excuse the massive Loose Collector ones. In a perfect world, I'd get two more of each Maestro Union wolf. Swap clothes & weapons between them for secondary clothed ones, and then have thirderdary "naked" ones, lol. We tired of me whining about being broke yet? 😰🥺
pFT0xxb.jpeg

This will be fuller, because I have some customs in the works, but I don't wanna show 'em off until they're finished, lol. REALLY hoping I can get my finances in order before the next wave, because I want to be all in on this line (I know I'm missing some of the soldiers from Wave 1, but have since changed my mind on getting them, I just need the funds to do so, lol). I also want more of these awesome vampire soldiers. It was my best figure of 2024!
Oh, and there's where Valkyrie & Domino went, lol. A friend did this same "custom" (Jyn Erso vest, but I had two of her, due to the faceprinting rerelease), and called her Slayer Kendra (from Buffy), and I HAD to copy it. And this line is definitely getting me more interested than the fading majesty of the MCU, lol. But they're not permanently altered, I can switch them back at any time.

And that's all I have for now! The rest (Classified & comic X-Men are the obvious massive absences) are being reworked currently. My anime shelves, too, that's why DBZ only got a brief peek.
 
TYSM!

Here's that shelf that's between the Anthros & Spawn that I'd previously forgotten to get a photo of:
yzZ9P43.jpeg


Of course, after my livestream later today (youtubedotcom/@tenimeartstudios), it'll have the Wave 2 Savage Crucible stuff added to it, as my Backer figures have/are showing up, lol. REALLY wanted that exclusive whitish/yellowish lizard dude, but I think he's sold out now, and I haven't had money for him when he was available.

Still really want some of the other Loose Collector ladies, and I still have to film a BFS Red Sonja review, so she's still in her box at the moment.

Definitely hoping Hasbro does more Crystar figures (that green crossbow tease from one of the recent Marvel livestreams pretty heavily suggested it 🤞).

I have ever Honor Among Thieves figure/beast Hasbro made, but I nixed that whole shelf to make room for more Classified, but still wanted to keep Edgin & Doric out. (I also have every Funko Dark Crystal ReAction except the exclusive Garthim/winged Kira/closed mouth Fizzgig, but again, space, lol. I also have all the Bone action figures except Kingdok & the purple Rat Creature - can anyone help me with either? lol - but only put the three Bones on the Super7 TMNT shelf. Again, I live in an apartment, real estate is scarce, lol.)

(Not that you can see them, but since Scorpion King didn't come with any weapons, I gave him some Masterverse axes.)
