A Side Of The Batcave Toy Room Not Normally Seen

The floor of the Toy Room is finally bare. Photo: Batcave Toy Room

Most photos taken in the Batcave Toy Room are from a view that is seen when you first walk into it, but this time we get to see what's around the corner.

Really it's not much. Literally. The space on floor was a mess 29 days ago and is now reduced to a couple of boxes that are filled with items I am planning on selling.

There's one. Set for stun!

Do you hear what I hear? The unmistakable sounds from the vintage Kenner Imperial Troop Transporter.

Completing A Death Star Space Station Playset On Schedule

It only took about five and a half years to complete, but at least it's done.

The Vintage Kenner Death Star Space Station, an armored space station playset with enough playability to last for hours or several decades for that matter. This playset rocks.

Let There Be Light In My Toy Display Cabinets

Lights, camera, action. Well, maybe just lights.

I had mentioned previously on Day 3 that I need to replace the bulbs on one of my glass cabinets and on Day 25 of my 31 Days to a Better Toy Collection Challenge that's just what I set out to do.

Day 22 inspired another toy clean up and restoration on Day 23 of My 31 Days to a Better Toy Collection Challenge. This time with my vintage Kenner X-Wing Fighter vehicle.

Displaying Six Star Wars Posters In One

The History of Star Wars Original Filmcell from the Batcave Toy Room

Day 21 was not very eventful with my 31 Days to a Better Toy Collection Challenge.

I did however hang my History of Star Wars Original Filmcell plaque. The plaque itself shows the six main posters from each of the first six Star Wars films and contains an original filmcell from each movie.

My Mego Shelf Is Feeling Kind Of Bare

Mego Shelves with a focus on the Holy Grail Batman's Wayne Foundation

Collect them all! Yes, I am working on it.

It's day 20 of my 31 Days to a Better Toy Collection Challenge and I've done just about all I can do with the Mego section of the toy room. This the surviving remnants out of all the Mego WGSH toys that I have had in my lifetime and this part of my collection needs some beefing up.

Maximizing My Shelf Space For More Toys

It's been a hard days night and I've been working like a Wookie.

Day 19 of my 31 Days to a Better Toy Collection Challenge ended with an overall very productive weekend. I continued to maximize my shelf space, which in turn is allowing me to display as many of my vintage toys as possible.

Remember That Mess In The Batcave Toy Room?

 

Clearing the floor in the Batcave Toy Room

Day 2 of my 31 Days to a Better Toy Collection Challenge went from the toy room doubling as a storage unit to looking more like a toy display and what you see above on Day 17.

We've been selling, donating, and rearranging all of our excess stuff that was in the toy room. The great thing is this process is also taking place throughout the entire house.

An End to a Good Thing with My Micro Collection Contact

Vintage Star Wars Micro Collection Action Playset from the Batcave Toy Room

Day 14 of my 31 Days to a Better Toy Collection Challenge brings the last round of recently received Star Wars Micro Collection action figures.

This last set of four figures completes the set of action figures for my Bespin Control Room action playset and the last set I will probably get from my former Kenner employee contact as he doesn't have the other die cast figures that I need.

 Open the blast doors! Open the blast doors!

I had a request from toy collector JBoypacman to see more of my Death Star Playsets. So, here's a lesson in ask and thy shall receive.

Echo Station Three-T-Eight. We have spotted Imperial Walkers!

Here's a peak at my now complete Hoth Turret Defense action playset from my Star Wars Micro Collection. My contact came through again with more figures to reinvigorate my micro collection. I also went ahead and kept my Rebel Soldiers from my "Build Your Armies" set figures together with others from this playset.

31 Days to a Better Toy Collection Challenge: Handling Toy Restoration Projects - Day 8

Most followers of the Batcave Toy Room know that I am into restoring vintage toys. This can be as simple as cleaning up a dirty toy to doing a complete rebuild, which can very inexpensive or not worth your time and money as you would be better off to buy a specimen in better condition.

31 Days to a Better Toy Collection Challenge: How to Satisify a Toy Collector's Display Compulsion - Day 6

 

If loving you is wrong, I don't wanna be right.

I thought I would start showing what I felt was right with the Batcave Toy Room versus what I felt needed work for a change.

I always drive myself nuts when it comes to displaying my toys and pop culture collectibles, but when it comes to this set up I am completely satisfied.

31 Days to a Better Toy Collection Challange: How a Star Wars Micro Collection Comes Along - Day 5

 

Progress is mine.

I decided to stick to working on the curio cabinets in the Batcave Toy Room's auxiliary room, actually my home office, next to the toy room.

I gave the cabinets a thorough cleaning and worked on arranging my vintage Star Wars Micro Collection playsets.

There just isn't enough room in the Batcave Toy Room for everything.

The pic above is the back wall in my home office. The office is actually next door to the Toy Room and serves as an auxiliary toy room that allows me more display room.

Restoring The Fastest Hunk Of Junk In The Galaxy

Kenner's vintage Millennium Falcon Spaceship was a vehicle, a playset, and action figure storage case. At least for me it was all the above. The Millennium Falcon is the oldest Star Wars toy in my collection and as a kid it was probably part of every adventure my imagination could dream up. It was also probably why my Falcon was worn down.

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.
