The "Spike_x1's Collection Thread" Thread

[Spike_x1]

I figured that I've been cruising this forum long enough now that I might as well finally give in and make my own thread. Right now, all that I've got are older pictures that I took during the school year when I was in residence. Newer pics, with more figures, will be up once I get my camera back from a friend who borrowed it.

City Commander Ultra Magnus. Unfortunately, I still haven't gotten the UM white Optimus Prime repaint that this trailer/armor is supposed to go with, so I've just been keeping it with Optimus since I got it.

Classics Optimus without the Ultra Magnus armor:

I also have both the Classics and Henkei! Henkei! versions of Astrotrain, mostly because the Japanese one has his G1 colors, and the Classics one has his modern comic book colors, so it's the best of both worlds.

Transformers Animated...

Damn!! Thatsa lotsa Transformers, Spike. Lookin good bro. I was never into the Turtles very much, but those figs are awesome too. Very nice.

 

[Spike_x1]

Thanks. I see now that that's really not the best pic that I could have taken to show off the Turtles and their poseability. I'll have better pics of them once I get my camera back. I'll also have more of my older pictures up once Photobucket stops being so slow.

All of the Star Wars stuff I've got.

I was disappointed that the Luke Mighty Mugg's lightsaber isn't removable from his severed hand, but I suppose that it gives me the somewhat morbid fun of making him have to hold onto his own severed hand if he wants to wield the lightsaber.

Insert your own continuity breaking joke here:

I love how happy, yet horribly scarred, the cutesy Galactic Heroes Vader is without his helmet on.

I was also very pleasantly surprised to find that C-3PO comes apart in order to fit into a bag on Chewie's back.

 

[Spider-Jay420]

I love Mighty Mugg Luke's severed hand. That is great.

I've heard a lot about the Transformers-Star Wars Crossover Boba/Jango Fett, and how stiff his robot mode is. Frankly, I agree with that. He's not very poseable at all, but once you get him standing and holding his blasters, it's not so bad. The rest of my SW stuff isn't very well articulated at all, as you can see above, so the Transformer Jango Fett was never really bought for that intent; he just looks neat in robot mode. His vehicle mode, however, is so nice that it's almost like a model. One of these days, I want to get around to painting the underside of it.

 

[Spike_x1]

Most of my Hellboy stuff; a mixture of the movie and Mignola figures.

DCUC and DCD swag.

Added Mongul, changed Superman's position (you can see where he used to stand on the very right edge of the last pic), and switched Luthor's head for the alternate bats**t insane face:

 

[Spider-Jay420]

Your Wonder Woman is awesome Spike. I don't think I've ever seen that one.

 

[Roughneck]

I think it's the one from the Wonder Woman DCD wave a year or two back....I remember when that was coming, it was a highly an anticipated fig for me....cause all I had was a Wonder Woman from the Silver Age JLA Box Set....It's a damn beautiful fig

 

[Spike_x1]

Yeah, it's probably the best looking female figure I own. Since those pics were taken, I've gotten the DCUC Wonder Woman because I think that she fits in better with the other toys and I can get her to cross her bracelets, but I'm not going to get rid of the DC Direct Wondy for the simple reason that she looks so good in spite of her very limited articulation.

 

[Spider-Jay420]

Do me a favor?

I gotta see a pic of Bats, Supes & WW together.

No problem. I get my camera back tomorrow, so I'll take the picture then.

 

[Spider-Jay420]

Thanks Spike, you rock!

I am using that same Batman and Superman in my JLA. and that Wonder Woman is close enough to the one I got. I wanna see what they look like together. Thanks again, dude.

Marvel Legends

You can see my two customized Hulks in this one. The Planet Hulk one was simple enough, but the one with the jeans is still a work in progress. I like the glossy look on his green skin (kind of looks like he's been sweating), but I'm going to redo the the jeans with a different type of paint. This picture sucks because his hair really doesn't look that sloppy, and you can't tell the difference between the blue that was used for the molded tears at the bottom of his jeans, and shade of blue on the rest of the jeans, in person.

 

[Spike_x1]

And that's the last of the pics taken in my residence room during the school year. Getting my camera back tomorrow, so I'll have some new pics to upload probably tomorrow evening.

 

[Spike_x1]

I'm off to see Star Trek again, but I'll take a moment before leaving to post the pic I took just for you, Spider-Jay.

More pics when I get back.

*subscribes* Awesome stuff, Spike. Impressive. Most impressive.

 

[Spider-Jay420]

Awesome. You're the man Spike. They look great.

Nice collection! I also like your keyboard

 

[Spike_x1]

Animated Cybertron mode Megatron and Optimus, and the G1 Mighty Muggs of the characters obviously.

Movie 'Formers on the left shelf, and Beat Wars figs on the right

I thought about getting the Premium Prime to match Premium Megs, but I liked my custom paint on his gun too much to put him away in exchange for the Premium. The awesome looking ROTF Optimus saddens me a little for that same reason.

Dag, which Blackout is that, Spike?

It's the Premium one. I wasn't too keen on the toy because of its relatively tiny scale, but I finally caved in and got him, and I can't say that I've really regretted it since then.
