   Nice.

   My sister’s former boyfriend’s mom had a giant display shelf filled with those Precious Moments figures.

   Very nice! Definitely an impressive collection, if they ever open a bishoujo figure museum they should make you the curator. Ikea is great–half the furniture in our house came from there

   Great to see that your princesses of PVC have found a home. Though its probably a good thing you paid for the installation as doing wall mounted cases can be a pain. Though if it was a standing cabinet I’d put it together myself.

   16cm depth would not be enough for me, personally. ^^; My current shelving all have a minimum of 35cm depth. Alter’s Yagami Hayate resides comfortably on one of them. Then again… I’m not primarily a collector of humanoid figurines, but animalistic ones, where length is the issue, and not height (usually).

   Cheers.

   I’m mad jealous of two things
   1)The shelves themselves.
   2)Alicia…MAD jealous.

   Nice collection, and that bertby looks like a perfect way to display your beauties. I shall consider setting aside some money for one in the future.

    Thanks for sharing the photo. Looks great – though I have some sympathy for your wife having space (she did buy the shelves afterall), the PMs do look a tad incongruous. Get her to replace them with MOAR Nendroids! :3

    While you’re not exactly Moyism or Dancing Queen in terms of buying figures, the fact that you’ve already max-ed out your two shelves means that you’ll have to use some sort of rotation system… looking forward to seeing some thematic displays in the future. Studio, fashion style, dominant colour etc…

    Dancing Queen: hehe one of my ways to curb my figure spending! now I have to consider the display constraints before making that preorder XD

    c2710: Hmm the besta/inerda is more for storage than display imho.

    Asrialys: Now you’ve given my wife ideas. XD Doesn’t bode well for my territorial fight for shelf space

    Kairu Ishimaru: Or you would get the more economical Detolf. goes for S$79 during discounts which happen quite often

    sung gyu: Yes, I heartily recommend it! More suitable for 1/8s though.
    suguru: Where do I apply? XD

    Zeroblade: Woah a nice space for Fate chan! Your display shelves?

    Adun: heh my missus favoured something wall mounted to reduce the footprint. Turned out pretty well for the Bertby.

    Skane: Animalistic? Zoids? The lack of depth is both the Bertby’s strength and weakness. Since I insist on only displaying 1 layer of figures per shelf, additional depth would be a waste. But that also rules some of my more dynamic figures. I should start looking for another display shelf for my Alter Fate/Hayate

    Zyl: Alternatively I should buy another 5 Bertby and fill up the much longer adjoining wall with MOAR figures. XD Wife-chan have these 2 all to herself Day dreams aside, I’d need to have a much bigger collection to be able to go thematic. I wanted to a maker theme (ie Alter, GSC, MaxFac etc) but realise I just don’t have enough. I need to buy more figures srsly XD

    asldfijdk!!! That looks gorgeous! BTW, I personally like the way you organized a lot better than most figure collectors(like the one you had link to) because it looks a lot cleaner. I think figures can look rather ugly if too much of them are crammed into a small space. I think the way you spaced them are just about right. ^^

    To Stripey,

    Yes, Zoids. I have over 220+ models (and counting) distributed over 21 shelves, various nooks and crannies, and some MISBs on the floor. With more on the way. It is a collection that started from 1989, so yeah…

    (And then there are the various Gundams I have too…)

    Yagami Hayate is the FIRST, and ONLY, anime figurine I have. Which means I am constantly bothered by the nagging feeling that she is feeling… lonely.

    However, I am massively reluctant to get the other Alter MSLN models because I am not so “awed” by them. I considered getting the Psychodelic-Moelicious Asakura Ryoko model, but that led to the problem of what theme/guideline would that lead to in my anime figurine purchases?

    (The fun in Psycho-Moe lies in the animated visual/audio of their dual-personalities. This is greatly hampered by the restrictions of a static PVC model. It is hard… to capture a snapshot of the essence of what makes them Psycho-Moe, which is why the Asakura Ryoko model is so good. That smile. That pose. That knife. Bingo.)

    I could also go the other extreme and just get figurines of Hayate, but that would seem pretty sad… to me at least. I am already beating myself not to touch the FIGMA line of figurines, because I can tell it will lead me into a blackhole of financial ruin (I exaggerate, but it WILL greatly hurt my allocated budget for model purchases).

    Models-wise… I need to buy ANOTHER display cabinet in the near future. -,-;

    For the collection!

    Cheers.

    Skane, let’s hope that there will be a Kaede figure where she is stirring an empty pot with those blank 0_0 eyes? Or a suitably psycho-moe Kotohona figure (what would be your ideal design for her?) I definitely think you would enjoy owning Ryoko with knife – I do! *face rub*

    One word:
    woot!

    Do you have to tend to the humidity or whatever level within the cabinet though to ensure no mould grows on their skirts?

    muhootsaver: Thanks! That was my intent exactly which is why my figure collection is growing at such a slow rate that is disproportionate to my figure passion While I still think the massive displays always have the shock and awe feeling, I prefer to summon forth the beauty of each PVC by giving each of them the required space to shine. of course another factor is that my humble adobe has no space for such extensive displays

    Skane: 21 SHELVES! Woah, that would be a sight to behold. Hayate is lonely surely XD You may want to consider another Hayate figure to keep her company

    http://www.volks.co.jp/jp/moekore/pls_10hayate.html

    Figmas are a different class of PVC altogether. As mentioned before they’re toys. Being articulatible invites you to play with them. PVC has a ‘HANDS OFF! Don’t stain my beauty” feeling. Totally different level of collection altogether. As a PVC purist, I’d say keep your moolah for True Beauty

    Xellos-_^: Heh, I can’t fit her into the cabinet. I need somthing else of both Alter Fate and Hayate XD

    phossil: Thanks! LOoks like I need more since my wife is invading with her procelain nendroids XD

    crimson: Thanks for the reminder! Actually I have plans to put a cup of those dessication liquid to keep the moisture down.
