Combining The Old With The Newer

Vintage Star Wars Toy Collection from the Batcave Toy Room

 It was the best of plans. It was a plan that just never made it completely into production.

Well, for the most part it did. Day 18 of my 31 Days to a Better Toy Collection Challenge reveals that the very tippy top of the walls in the Batcave Toy Room are lined with action figures.

Let's get re-acquainted, Shall we?

It's hard to believe that the Batcave Toy Room will be four years old this Summer. Time flies when you're having fun. It has been an awesome ride and I can't believe how many great toy collectors I have met over the years. It has definitely been a learning experience.

The 12 Back Maneuver: The Other Side Of The Toy Room

I was really hoping to show all of you toy lovers out there the other half The Batcave Toy Room, but this past weekend was absolutely non-stop for me and I didn't have much time to work on it. However, here's is a little sneak peak of the other half of the toy room. I am hoping it turns out as well as the toy display I revealed last week.

The remaining space is primarily still very Star Wars heavy, but a good chunk of space is being reserved for action figures. I also reserved space for my Mego Worlds Greatest Super Heroes toys as well. You can see above my Early Bird Display Stand with the original 12 back Star Wars action figures in their respectable spaces on the display. The Luke, Han, and C-3PO are the oldest action figures in my toy collection, which the three of them were received for my tenth birthday.

I am going to work on getting back to work on the toy room this week, but I expect this week to be insane business wise and next weekend, which I am completely stoked about, is the Las Vegas Comic Expo. This is Vegas's answer to Comic-Con, which I have been snubbed from attending two years in a row now. So, I am really excited to attend. It mostly likely won't be anywhere as big as Comic-Con, but it's a start.

Hopefully, next week I'll have more pics of The Batcave Toy Room and some pics from the Comic Expo. Battlestar Galactica's Tricia Helfer is going to be there too. Boy, do I love when her spine glows red.

Finally, A Toy Display I Can Live With

I get lots of requests to see full shots of The Batcave Toy Room and I've held back on it because I've never liked the way my toys and collectibles were displayed. However, lately I have had lots of inspiration and after getting tips from collectors like Brian Adams from Cool and Collected, I have finally been able to arrange my toy collection in a fashion I am happy with.
