I also wanted to do a video where my wife ranks some of my figures before they were put in boxes but that also got pushed back. I'll probably have her do a reaction to the next Mythic Legions wave reveal because she goes hard and zooms in on pics and everything.

    My Display is a Battle World between the Heroes and Villains of 10 Earth's. So I can get some unusual match-ups like Iron Man vs Lex Luthor, Spectre against Galactus, Godzilla fighting 2 Sentinels, etc. When I have everything out it takes up numerous book shelves and takes up over half a room.

    Really great informative video. This gives me great ideas on how to set up my eventual display. Especially determining which risers to utilize for my types of 150 or so figures.
    Also, definitely agree about some of the older display bases from various lines making killer compliments for more modern figs. I really love several from Diamond Select, like Thor's Castle Tower top, Black Widow's destroyed Ultron drone base, and Dr Doom's sweet throne room chair. I'd also recommend some really epic ones from Stan Winston Creatures "Realm of the Claw" series....they have one base for a Tiger warrior named Sabyr that is a dungeon floor with blood and bones and a very large poseable viper ready to attack the unlucky figure. It's awesome.

      @thestrongcollectors  Před 2 měsíci

      No way! Thank you so much. I feel like this type of displaying works well for me because it lets me show case the figures on display and gives them more attention. It also makes me swap out displays to get other figures from the drawer to the shelves. It makes me appricate the display while it's out because it won't be forever. I feel like when they are out for too long I'd stop seeing the figures and it would just become part of the background.

I had a pretty big dresser in our walk in closet that I displayed on and it was more of a how many figures can I fit in here in a dynamic ish pose. But with the main collection area I wanted to be able to have it more visible for the camera. Every way of displaying will work better or worse for each person and each scenario.

    good video - topic bro
    because I m in a small apartment, the issue rose up quickly,
    like you and others, at first, I displayed on shelves,
    hey, from 2017 to 2020, I only had a handful... punisher, Cap Am, iron man...
    Joes were hard to get and were very few
    but then, they started flowing in 21, and then Indy came out too,
    I had to find something getting to about 40 figs...
    I really like your system most, with the comics display, nice!
    but boxes + the figs... my apart could nt take much more of this...
    it s about 10' x 14', my whole place!
    I just pick from 3 lines ; Joes, legends, Indy and a few sw and wrestlers for civilians, [thank God]
    I don t care to display the civilians s boxes, I just keep them for value,
    most of them, I don t even know....
    I just get them because they d look like someone you d cross on the sidewalk.
    now, I m at about 75 figs, including civilians
    but 2 of my dios can take close to 30 figs [bar - arena]
    and my 2 others, about 5 - 8 each
    so I m still good for now, but Destro and the iron grenadiers are coming...
    so I m planning a tower outpost with a world threat weapon [Destro]
    a 5th dio, mainly a stand for my fan at the window with real plants,
    I ll disguise it into a super weapon, but I keep it [the fan] functional
    maybe I ll add lights to make it look good.
    your video gave me ideas, like, I have no flying fig hanging,
    I think I ll get fishing wire to have iron man vs Ultron or something,
    1 for iron man, one for Ultron, and one to tie them up into an air fight.
    I could also use one for monster Venom, using his webbing over the building.
    hey, if you guys could cover dios that d be cool!
    1 post per week on your favourites perhaps?
    I think it d be a great combo, and not many reviewers do this, a +

    I'm collecting mostly G. I. Joe Classified, Jada Street Fighter, and a few random figures. Like the very occasional high end figure. (SHF Dragon ball Z, figma Nintendo character or Guyver. And anything both really good and appealing to me.)
    I had just enough room for a 30" inch wide two shelf display case. After raising it up so both shelves would be visible, other objects around it prevented it from being more than two shelves. Each shelf is about 15" tall. I'm going to have to get creative to utilize the space above their heads. There are so many unique Joe and Cobra characters that I won't be able to display them all. So, I will fill them up shoulder to shoulder, nuts to butts, as you say. And whittle them down to unique characters. Then swap out here and there with the ones important to me. Eventually, I would like to get them all going with unique poses. But, poses take up more space then vanilla stance. *sigh!

Like, I do not want to spend $100. Or else the answer to this question gets a lot easier. I'm saying, Marvel Legends, Diamond Select, GI Joe. Maybe SH Figuarts -- but still, that's pricey!

My personal advice is if it's in like say an office or side room, who cares it's just for you. But, buy like a nice showcase and rotate out a small handful of figures in say your living room. Now you can say this is just your storage display and the clutter can be more forgiven.

    • @thestrongcollectors
      @thestrongcollectors  Před 2 měsíci

      For me it keeps me moving and using my figures more. I feel like if I don’t rotate out displays it becomes a set them on the shelf and forget about them. This way I remember to appreciate the display more because I know I’ll be changing it and when it is changed it’s something new I just put together.

    I'm confused is this how you have your display setup or are you telling everybody as a resident professional how to set up their displays? Kind of feel like you should probably tell people what to collect and what not to collect as well if you're on the same path

    6:20....I own over a 3,500 ft. House...and I have a secret ' Batcave' in the basement where I keep my collection. All on shelving. It's a 12×12 room and ALL shelving for mostly Marvel legends Monster figures, and Mattel&McFarlane DC figures( I have other stuff too Mezco 1:12, Maefex, 12" Superhero stuff, etc). And I have used up literally every ounce of space in there so I have no choice but to display them how you say NOT to display them. Simply ran out of room.

    • @thestrongcollectors

    As a collector what I find that is not ok is having the same figure but under different brands like Deadpool from marvel legends, mafex, shf, revoltech and neca why would you want to waste money on a figure you have that’s under a different brand

    Im not an inbox collector ,i dont buy repaints or variants of one character . My toys are grouped according to my own taste ,not neccesarily what they actually represent except for my avengers ,fantastic four and xmen with those classic characters . Mostly my worlds represent countries like europe or america and a asian country with figs that represent heros or warriors that may have come from there . I have a outer space shelf ,a draculas castle where i put vampires and werewolves and a mcfarlane frankenstein with a motu 200x castle greyskull as the diorama . A barbarian shelf with an orc shelf . I have a humaniod animal shelf with stuff like mcfarlane megafig manbat ,killer croc and veteran william werewolf and many other shelves that follow a theme i chose for them . I use portable plastic shelves i can add to increase space and are cheap to buy when i need them . Everything in my collection is displayed nothing in storage and like you properly spaced so i can see all them . I have probably 6 times the toys you have mixed with different kinds of backgrounds like imaginext pieces ,custom cardboard dios ,chap mei pieces anything that can set the tone of a shelf .

  • @slave2leia
    @slave2leia Před 2 měsíci

    Your style of displays look nice but you also have a small collection. Nothing wrong with figures standing on risers in “vanilla” poses when you have a lot of figures, especially when they are all the same character.

    • @thestrongcollectors
      @thestrongcollectors  Před 2 měsíci

      Eh I don’t think the collection is very small. The display space is small and that’s what’s on display. Other figures are stored and I rotate the displays every so often. So yes if you have a large collection you can go with the risers and fit as many on a shelf as you can, or you can display similar to what I showed a rotate figures to spotlight then. Whatever works for each person.

  • @jamescole7930
    @jamescole7930 Před 2 měsíci

    Why buy a riser?
    Anyone can get some wood or styrofoam and build risers.
    That is silly.
    I personally am a opener. So I like so many characters that my collection has grown a bit. I do not have the biggest or the best collection. As a matter of fact it is a decent collection but no better.
    Now it is at this time in may 2024, stands at near 6000 open figures on 27 book or book type shelves.
    I build raisers myself, each shelf is between 20 to 28 inches wide and 15 inches tall and 12 inches deep.
    So to maximize my efficiency and usage, each shelf holds 60 to 75 figures on raisers . If I am not displaying my figures I may as well not have them.
    And I like so many characters that it takes two different areas to house snd display them all.

    • @thestrongcollectors
      @thestrongcollectors  Před 2 měsíci

      I like the risers because they are cheap and modular. I think it’s like $10 or less when they are on sale and they work well for the way I display. It sounds like they wouldn’t work very well for the way you like to display and I bet there is a lot of pride in being able to create your own risers the way that fits your needs best. At least that’s how I feel by making my own flight stands.

    15:43 Galactus is problematic as a figure, isn't he. I mean, sometimes he's portrayed so big that a superhero could fly into his ear. Officially he's 26 feet tall from some canon sources. So what is he?!!😵‍💫 I say, his head should be as big as your tv. Whatever size tv you got.

    • @thestrongcollectors
      @thestrongcollectors  Před 2 měsíci

      yeah this is the biggest action figure i'll ever own. I like that he's big but it's also hard to display and take pictures with because the other figures are so so small compared to him that it makes for a lot of empty space.
