Hey guys!
I'm sure I share a similar disease to a lot of people posting here of being obsessed with transformers as a kid. Around a decade ago I decided to rekindle my love for the toys and became a bit of a collector. sadly that seemed like a phase as the evils in life took my attention away. You know what they say right? A girl will love you when your flavour of the month, but your toys will never leave you :p
Anyway I stopped collecting around six or seven years ago, and I'm sad to say my entire army of Transformers have been waging a war with dust, in which dust is the clear victor.
I managed to tease my girlfriend into watching the 1986 transformers cartoon (no idea how!) about a month ago and have since had a taste for getting a few bots out and even adding to my collection.
But, as you shall now see, I have issues.....
this is the only room viable for displaying and adding to my collection and its safe to say its not doing well for space. As you can see I'm a music lover also and my cd's and dvd's take up the space I assume most would have their figures on show. But I have a plan.
These white cupboards have been around no doubt much longer than most posters on this website, and are currently the home to my entire unboxed transformers. Where you may ask? Hidden at the top!
As you can see my transformers are not enjoying life right now. Inside these cupboards are also disgusting!
So basically to avoid this being a decorating thread or self loathing themed, I've set a goal and taking down the 30 year old plus cupboards, re-decorating and sorting out this collection. I do feel like I have amassed a decent load of toys over the years and they deserve to either go to an owner which will love them or be displayed properly.
So I'm thinking of the Ikea glass displays mixed with black wall paint should do the trick! Here's hoping.
I mean to keep this blog/collection thread as a way of keeping my spirits and motivation up and hopefully by the end i'll have a decent display to be proud of
Any thoughts and ideas?
