Took some pictures of my collection as it stands going into 2023. Did some major reorganization this time around and put most of my figures on one large shelf. Now to get ready for 2023 purchases lol.

Man that is awesome. If when I get a home and I am granted a man cave, Imma have to take some notes!

Just received a package on Saturday concluding my collection of Decker vinyls.
Took the opportunity and made a lil collection video for YouTube. Though I have to add that this only covers the stuff I own at my place (which only consists of stuff I bought after moving out 3 years ago).
About 80% of my collection is still waiting at my parents home for a reunion in the far future haha

[LSD Jellyfish]

My collection as of April 2023:

Shelf 1: SP Stuff, "Rare" Modern Exclusives+Ride MMS stuff, Various Godzillas+Biollante.



Shelf 2:
Marusan Hedorah Stuff+MMS Hedorah Stuff+YMSF Hedorah stuff.
Ebirah and cool stuff.
Gamera stuff!
Then Heisei Stuff.


From the side, you can see I have a lot more cool shit hidden:




Shelf 3:
Marusan Stuff+Gezora
Shin Godzilla Collection
"Rare"+Old Goji Bandais.
Baragon+Offspring Shelf


I need to add more shelves to this shelf, and get Orga and G2000 in a better place.

This is stuff I don't know where to put:


I've also got these:



In conclusion: My collection is rather big and I'm satisfied with how it looks. I have all the MMS Hedorah stuff I want, maybe minus the really old vinyl, but I'm content for the time being. I wish I had more space to separate all these, but given my circumstances I think I've done nicely. I'm tentatively done with rabidly collecting (minus some new MMS stuff), and there's only a few items I really want to hunt after.

And no, the stuff won't permanently be in bags. Actually I opened some of the Marusans I've had for a while when I set this up. I want to open them on rainy days so they feel fresh lol.

Did a little rearranging today and got (almost) all my Gamera/Daiei stuff onto one shelf.



Unfortunately this guy just wouldn’t fit.

[canofhumdingers]

This is my current display space, after cleaning out and selling stuff recently. I’ve got several Hiya MV and S7 Ultimates on preorder and I’m going to g-fest in July. I don’t think I cleaned out enough space…











I really want to add led strips to the shelves (the light in this room is TERRIBLE) but I’m also a little hesitant because all this is supposed to move to the basement once it gets renovated. But I’ve been saying that for three years already…

I’m also due for a total takedown, deep cleaning, and full rearrangement which will probably result in some more “house cleaning.”

At some point Im going to do a full collection update, but for now here is my FINISHED Kamen Rider Collection. You could call it a speedrun collection, considering my first ever Kamen Rider figure came exactly a month ago.


Added in 1 minute 6 seconds:
As for how many of these have I seen? Zo, J, and The First. Go ahead. Call me a fake fan. But I do plan on watching all of these.

Also, black sun and shadowmoon are behind the Shin Kamen Rider figures, if you cant tell

[Creature22]

Sweet display. They really look awesome all lined up. I initially only had an OG Kamen Rider that I got on clearance, but have since added a few from the “Shin” movie. It’s a slippery slope!

Hey, there are no rules to being a fan- don’t let any gatekeepers tell you otherwise. You could love the designs and never watch the show, so long as it makes you happy

[Mac Daddy MM]

Not my whole collection, but I finally got my Trendmasters Gamera stuff hung up. And ReAction Wave 2 as well. The Gamera stuff has been stuck piled up on the floor for YEARS now. Glad to finally actually have them "up."

I see it the same way and by other standards I'd be sort of a fake Ultraman fan, too. I have tons of figures and quite a bunch of knowledge regarding the overall franchise, but I've rarely seen any movies or show episodes, let alone a full series. It's mostly short clips or fight scenes. Busy life, no time for more than that. I just enjoy the lore, the Ultras and of course the crazy-@ss Kaiju.

Same with Kamen Rider. I got vinyls and Figuarts of the original 1st Rider, since it's officially part of the Ultra franchise since the 'Ultraman VS Kamen Rider' 90s movie. And I have the main Rider from Shin Kamen Rider in vinyl and Figuarts form since it's officially tied to Shin Ultraman and Shin Godzilla. I don't plan of branching out any further, though.

I like how you have a bunch of the newer Bandais hanging from their hooks like they do in like Don Quijote and stuff lol

It originally started as a shelf-saving space technique but I've grown to like it for humanoid figures. I have some shelves from Nitori that have these nice "ribs" on the side for adjusting shelf heights. They doubly function as little places I can hang the C hooks from. At first I was a little worried about doing this, but this is how the figures are sold in shops, some of them being displayed like that for years. So far I haven't noticed any damage or anything that has happened to the figures as a result.

Godzillas and other such figures are incredibly awkward to display like that, but any figure, like the Eva-series, that has a C-hook extending from the back/the center point displays surprisingly well. Some figures are more awkward to display like this, and it's why all Godzillas should be standing on a flat surface.

Do you have any tips for dust control? My collection is not even a 10th the size of yours and I have huge dust allergies.

[canofhumdingers]

The single best thing you can do to manage dust is put everything behind glass. In my last house I had Billy bookcases from ikea with glass doors. They weren’t remotely air tight. But even so, once I put my collection inside I never had to dust it again. When I moved 7 years later there was still no dust inside.

Well, I now have my collection isolated in its own room, so there's not a lot of foot traffic compared to before. But back when I had it taking up a lot of room in my living room, I did a weekly rotation of cleaning one whole shelf every week. Now I just do a once or twice a year cleaning, planning in October and sometime next Spring.

[Executive Hamster]

So here it is. My FINISHED Godzilla collection. Not much has changed since the last time, but in the interest of moving towards my career goals as well as repairing some damaged relationships caused by my bad spending habits, I made the difficult choice to quit collecting all together. Will this be permanent? Who knows. But the foreseeable future Im done. I need to figure out how to budget myself. Ive sacrificed my own health and my relationships in order to get stuff that I was too impatient for. I just cant do that anymore.

[UltramanGoji]

Good on you for choosing to better yourself from bad habits! It's a tough journey and I hope it goes well for you! Certainly glad you didn't decide to chuck everything, and honestly couldn't have picked a better setup to finish on. More than a few grails of mine in there!

[canofhumdingers]

That’s a cool collection. But yeah, definitely don’t let a hobby harm your finances, health, or relationships. As much fun as they are, they’re just things.

I bet it feels satisfying to have it complete though. I take the opposite approach and sell off things I’ve lost interest in as I rotate new things in. Lets me keep buying new stuff at a reasonable pace while not letting it outgrow the space I have. And selling old things helps offset the cost of new things.

[Moth]

What a legendary display, god.

Great job picking up on your bad habits by the way, it takes a big person to do that. Took me awhile to do that with another collecting hobby I had.
