    I know Hawanja does, based off some of his collection pics, but what about everyone else?

    I posted this in my collection thread, but I'll post it again here.

    A closeup of the top of the White Shelves

    Figs shown

    Serpentera, Malebolgia, Violator, Iris (From Gamera), Some Gundam models, Chibi Gold Gundams (don't know why I bought them to be honest, lol), Witch-King (very detailed, and it was like $5!), and an Escaflowne figure.

    Top of my ET center, right:

    Figs shown. Dessicator, Some Zombie guy with a Spear, Interlink-6, Medieval Spawn

    Top of my ET center, middle

    Figs shown - A LOT OF GUNDAMS from the series where each Gundam comes from a different country. My mom gave me a Christmas Castle thing as a gift, but I turned it into a Gunam Fortress.:katamari:

    Figs shown

    Sephiroth (bought it on a whim, thought about doing something "destructive" to it and posting the images on FF forums:lol:), Omega Weapon, Bahamut (missing a leg, not my fault.:DOH:), Mandarin Spawn.

    Here is the side of my ET center, not seen that well or often. Mostly filled with Digimon toys and used just for holding things. Will probably put them up somewhere, like in a box.

    Destroyah and Mecha King Ghidora are in this pic. And tons of Digimon toys.

    [​IMG]

    The bottom level. Just some misc toys and Space Godzilla. Don't ask whats growing on the Mechanical Ape thing! :lol:

    [​IMG]

    Well, thats it for now.

    EDIT:

    Whoops, forgot these

    Know any good ways to dislodge the dust well? I tried canned air, special dusters, and a lot of other crap.

    I need something that won't knock them down, but something strong. It'd probably have to be some sort of liquid.

    ive got loads of toy collections, just nothing on display due to lack of space, but have a huge amont of vintage star wars figures, vehicles etc, mostly still with original boxes

    Also have a near complete set of the lord of the rings figures, tonnes of computergame related figures, plus the obligatory anime and hentai ones

    plus, a humongous amount of lego (by humongous id say approx 30-40 large tubs full)

    Yes it's called getting off your lazy arse and get a feather duster and cleaning it at least once (or even twice) a week.

    You'll have to remove the figures, clean them with a damp soft cloth (check to make sure that they aren't painted), clean the shelves and then clean once a week. Hover as well, if you smoke then do it elsewhere as that is a major source of dust.

    Anyway as any fule knows those aren't toys they are figures, there is a big difference.

    I know they're figures, but thats what my dad calls them, so I guess it rubbed off on me. But he calls them "Plastic baby toys" to shy me away from buying them.

    You should really do something about that dust, put those figures in display cases or just seal of those toy shelves with transparent acetate sheets.

    Clean them up, your figures deserve it, you have a very nice collection!

    I love that Balrog model. Absolutely fantastic.

    I used to have a decent Heman and Thundercats collection, and a bunch of the metal transformers.

    Nice Collection you got there Casual! Whats funny (or sad, depending) is that I recgonise most of those toys myself.

    I actually have a few of them too, I've got a Mandarian Spawn also right here at my desk at work (I have the scarlet version though) as well as the Trendmasters Space Godzilla, Destroyah, and Iris figures at home.
