I love the collection especially how you cherry picked the best looking figures from every line to make a nicely scaled lineup. I know that was wordy but my point is "me like U toys lots"

Awesome. I have a special place in my heart for collections that are similar to mine, or at least base themselves around the 5 inch scale Did you reach your 2017 goal of 350 figures? I had 500, but after two selling periods, I am probably at 400 now.

I feel the same way about 5 inch collections. to be honest, seeing your guys' loose 5 inch collections, here on DBF, with all the items from different countries and customs, is what made me want to start collecting Adrenaline , Branjita, doraemonizuka , goldenape808 , monkeyb0y , PGV , timone317 , ssj2dakota , ssgoshin4 , horde23 , cmakhk , ToadKart and all the others too numerous to list. I'm around 280(maybe 10 redundant outfits and such). I've weeded out quite a few subpar figures I had previously had as well. I'm still happy with that though. I was unemployed for 2 months this year because the company I work for sold and needed time to restructure. I managed to land some items that cost 10x as much as commons I still don't have, so I chalk it up to Quality/Quanity. I just feel like if I can find rares i need, then I need to get them while I can actually find them. Some of what I did get this year was Jakks Omega Shenron, AB Capsule Corp, father son Bardock, Epoch softdolls Bulma, Sonokong Goku, and X-retro piccolo Jr. I have a feeling I'll get to 350 pretty quick though. I still have a conservative list with over 100 licensed products I want.

I understand. At our age, work gets in the way of fun. But what you got is still impressive to say the least. If I win the lotto, I'll be sure to share a little wealth. Seeing all this and being on the site more makes me want to customize again. We'll see.

I don't like to count, so I don't have a clue how many I have. I'm still waiting on the glass for my new armoire/cabinet so I can't set everything back up yet. And since I reorganized everything, I don't even display around 1/4 of my figures, which is pretty awkward! I'm so jealous of the HQ DX Frieza Form 3! I have a custom I started, and obviously never finished, that I was making just because I couldn't afford to buy that figure. Since I don't own it, I can't give direct advice, but I just used my x-acto knife and cut the pegs off HQ DX Dodoria, and last year I went ahead and surrounded the backside of his boots with hot glue so he's stop being a wrecking ball and knocking over everybody in front of him. If you do that, smear a thin layer of Vaseline on the surface of what Frieza is standing on while you're working on him (I suggest clear plastic packaging from pretty much anything you buy), and then put the hot glue down. The Vaseline will prevent the Hot Glue from sticking to the surface. If you want to or need to get fancy, you could make your own base out of thin wood, acrylic, or plastic and drill holes in the same locations as the original holes. Or... you could just see if the guy who makes customs bases on ebay can make you one himself. www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_from=R40&_trksid=m570.l1313&_nkw=dbz+acrylic+base&_sacat=0 If you know someone with a laser cutter, they could make you the same thing. You would just need to use a pencil on paper, rub it over the original base to show where the holes are, the size, and the distance apart, and then draw the size base you think you need. Use a scanner, scan it in at 300 DPI, and send it to your friend with the laser cutter. If I was in your shoes, I would find a piece of scrap wood, hopefully that melamine stuff that has the white coating on it, and just drill holes. It's what I did for my Ichiban Kuji Shenron since I hated the original base. You could probably even use a peanut butter jar lid and if you like it, spray paint it white. The only problem with that is the holes better be tight and perfectly measured or since the lid isn't solid plastic, your Frieza could fall out of the holes and fall. Yet another option is cutting the pegs off and just gluing him to a heavy disk of some kind, like metal. But if you do that, you'll damage the bottom of the feet, because you'll definitely need to use epoxy to glue it down. Here's some acrylic ones. www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_odkw=plastic+disc+4mm&_sop=15&_osacat=11700&_from=R40&_trksid=m570.l1313&_nkw=plastic+disc+3mm&_sacat=11700

Thanks for the advice. Ill probably cut the pegs and use hot glue around the feet. I was thinking maybe i could leave the pegs and put something like gashapon stands around them so he would still stand well evenly supported on them but he would still be in his original condition. Does anyone here display their figures like this?
