HarveySwick Posted January 24, 2014 Share Posted January 24, 2014 Dean's Man Cave. Aside from the Emma Frost Corner and the Street Fighter displays, doesn't seem like much order of any sorts. I guess that is why I liked the idea of focused collecting like you mentioned earlier. And it's funny that his wife is working the camera - do you think when he's discussing the Emma Frost she is Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

COI Posted January 24, 2014 Share Posted January 24, 2014 I don't like the way the collection is laid out either, but I think he just has way too many pieces to get a proper coherent display going. That's why I say display is everything with statues. That said, it's a remarkable collection. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HarveySwick Posted January 24, 2014 Share Posted January 24, 2014 Dammit. I think my life has changed - seriously. I've always called him "Rye-U"... I played Street Fighter 2 so much back in the day, I used to be able to beat the game with Ryu or Ken on SNES playing with my feet! I could do the dragon punch with my toes!

I would feel very Like you said though - impressive. Guy has EVERYTHING. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No worries, I had mono in high school, which lead to being able to slay Mortal Kombat II with my feet. Faitality's and all Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My plan is to have a lot fewer statues and instead invest the money in custom display cases and lighting to present what I have as nicely as possible. Also the reason I'm trying really hard to collect just one scale. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

freshcollect Posted January 24, 2014 Share Posted January 24, 2014 This? http://www.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/products/10011055/#/10119206 There was a discussion about Ikeas helping a few pages back. I'll have to dig for it. That's it - very popular in the statue community. I'll have to get pictures of mine and add to this thread. If you end up interested, I'd suggest setting up a search on Craigslist/kijiji - I got 2 last year for the same price as one new, and they'd had lights added so less than half price and the condition is perfect. I've had far more luck on kijiji for display cases then I ever have for comics! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
