Been 3 months since the last update. Was gonna take a video, but the kids have turned the loft into a play area (as they should), so the room was not exactly presentable when I took these pictures.
The Mcfarlane JL shelf is now dedicated to McFarlane comics based DC “good guys”. The plan here is to place new pieces on the risers in the back. Booster Gold and Blue Beetle will have a home when they arrive, along with whatever other comics figures Toddfather has in store for us in the near future. Three Jokers Batman was replaced by the Year Two Batman (was in the mood for the classic blue & gray). Having the interchangeable fabric and big crazy plastic cape for Year Two Batman is a cool feature. Crazy cape stowed away with the base.
Changed things up a bit on the desk. The big Superman shall never move. To the left however, the Trinity statue was replaced with the Tweeterhead Superman:
Yeah I didn’t know what to do with the little Imaginext figures. Doesn’t feel like they “go” there; will figure something out.
To the right of the big Superman, the DC Collectibles Designer Series Trinity remain in place, with a tiny little addition
:
I now have a villain shelf. Need risers for the back row. Not sure how Starro is gonna fit once completed (you can spot a piece of him in the back). May move ‘em all to a bigger empty shelf, but they live here for now.
And a Batman shelf. I placed quite a few Batman figures in the storage box, but felt like these needed to stay on display. Not sure if this will stay “strictly Batman”. Future acquisitions will dictate, I suppose.
Minor updates to the Superman cabinet:
Father & son Superman make an appearance now, along with the black suited Supes from Jurgens’ Lois & Clark. Need to replace the battery on that left light.
I think the only additions here are the Mattel New 52 Superman in the front row (first on the right), and the McFarlane “Platinum” unpainted gray Superman in the middle row.
Here the only addition is the Mattel Injustice Superman, dead center. Somehow I feel the Injustice designs mesh well with the crazy armored stuff from the 90s.
The ZSJL moved from their previous spot to be part of a DCEU shelf. Black Adam and Hawkman are the newest additions (both great figures). Had to have Harley with her egg sandwich next to these guys.
A lot of what was on this shelf got the axe. Room for more stuffs. Think the Joker Dragon is new from last update.
Waiting on another He-Man, maybe two, and a carded Super Powers Superman. Will probably take my Masterpiece Optimus Prime out of the storage box and display here as well. An 80s childhood shelf in the making.
With the rearrangement, this is my daughter’s favorite spot in the room right now. The only new pieces here are the little McFarlane Super Powers figures, which are going to end up needing a shelf of their own as that collection grows. Speaking of new Super Powers, here’s the vehicles:
The little circle things are drawer knobs I haven’t installed yet.
Some pieces relocated or stowed away from this spot to make room for the Batman Hush two-pack. Mostly a “World’s Finest” area, with the exception of Mego Diana.
Added some wall art:
The only spots untouched in the room:
Super Powers
and
The cabinet where it all started.
Whew !
If you made it this far, it means I haven’t bored you to death, and for that I am very grateful. I hope you find some enjoyment out of these little updates. I know I enjoy sharing them with my DC family.
Time to hit the hay. Have a good night, everyone .
