Impressive collection! I don't personally go for the smaller figures, but there's just something about those little DWC guys that gets me. They look great together, almost like an audience seated in a grand stand, in attendance of a great martial arts battle... You'd really hate to accidentally nudge one and have it topple over, the knock on effect would be devastating. LoL! But where's the real action figures? Heh, thank you. In regards to action figures, I only have the Sideshow Clones and the Hot toys War Machine. Trust me, if one falls, it definitively messes up the ones below, lol. Dusting them is a ......

I'm always changing displays and such. Imagine keeping a mental record of where certain figure is and to do a counting every other month to make sure they're all there

OMG, you even have the Farmer! That's the most dwc I've seen outside of a Japanese collection! Did you buy them all when they were new, or at the ridiculous prices they are now?? I do! I'm missing only TWO DWC sets - Kai Vol.1 and Kai Vol.3. I'm missing only one set of the Tiger & Bunny - Vol.5. I usually buy them when they come out (new releases) but I did my hunting back in the day. The prices aren't really "ridiculous" per se. We got to keep in mind that these were only distributed in Japan and via Crane/UFO machines which made them rare by not being available in Japanese stores. Also, due to the nature of UFO machines, sometimes players would spend over $10 to get one figure. The earlier sets of DWC/WCF date back to 2009. You can still find some of the sets for around US$90 before shipping in sites such as Mandarake. The Kai volumes were made in even fewer quantities, That's why some Kai sets can go up to US$500. eBay overprices most of the stuff, so don't go by those prices. Always go by the prices in the Japanese market. If you want to see something ridiculous, try the WCF One Piece Strong World sets. one figure of those, Shiki, goes for US$200-US$300. And if you want to get the full first volume, be ready to spend US$500-US$700. The entire 6 volumes - if you can find it - goes for US$3,000 before proxy fees. It's all about rarity and exclusivity. Not to mention, this line (if you own the original and not bootlegs) got a very good quality and details in comparison with many other figure lines of the size. Heck, I've even seen some action figures by American manufacturers that face sculpts look terrible compared to a DWC .

This is so dope... Really nice the way you set up your DWC's and absolutely love all the clone and storm troopers. I don't collect any other anime's other than DB , but I can thoroughly appreciate all your one piece WCF sets, I know how hard to come by a few of those are. When you said you had a bigger collection than me, I thought you meant a bigger dragonball collection. If you want to include other lines into this.... I'll have to introduce you to my halo collection Keep it up though man, you've got a pretty good knack for displaying. Do post your Halo I'm about to hit 904 DWC/WCF soon. Got to celebrate that hah.

Are all the Clone Troopers from Hot Toys? Every time I have collected the 3.75" figures I always ended up with squadrons of troopers lol Nope, none of the Clone Troopers are Hot Toys. They are made by Sideshow (even thought we know that Sideshow pays Hot Toys to get some parts done, under the table)

Holy crap baskets. Your World Collectable collection is humongous. I love your box staircase display! Simply massive. And impressive. I'm very jealous of those T&B sets. I don't quite understand, though, how is your collection organized?
Also, that HT Diecast War Machine Mark II is glorious.

I don't quite understand, though, how is your collection organized? Also, that HT Diecast War Machine Mark II is glorious. Well, if you're referring to the organisation of the WCF, then they are simply not organised lol. I had a previous display in which the DB and the OP were separated in different shelves, but now they are all mixed up. I feel this way it gives more color and variation, more immersion in the general anime and WCF world. Here are some pictures of today's loot and some organisation changes and new display section. The only real "separation" or organisation is separating the Kamen Rider WCF from the rest. This is in view of the Kamen Rider being 8 cm while the rest are 7 cm. In order not to create too much disparity, the sectioning was needed. BTW, thank you for the compliments! I think the previous display would have been also of your liking! I used clear risers for it. I might have a picture somewhere, will post if found. The War Machine is indeed a great looking figure. I'm waiting for the Mark XLII. Today 48 new figures join the WCF family..galaxy.. universe? lol.

LOL okay because I was trying to figure out how they were grouped and I just couldn't. I'd love to see your collection organized one day! But if it never does, it'll still look awesome. Pretty sneaky with the clear risers, can't even see them! And I think the boxes provide much more visual interest.
Make sure you post some pics of the Mark 42 when you get him! Oh, and since you already have a variant colour scheme on War Machine (meaning it's not painted like the normal Iron Patriot)... You may be interested in the fact that Iron Man will be wearing a regularly painted red & gold Mark 42 in the upcoming Avengers 2 movie. And you can bet Hot Toys will be making one.
Btw... Great new scores. Double looks pretty sweet. But damn, Android 18 looks incredible!
