William James 88's collection

Hey guys,

Thought I would share my collection now that it has calmed down a bit (and thus fewer new additions).

My favourite series to collect are Prime, Cybertron and Animated so I have more of those than the others. I also love Megatron so there will be quite a bit of him too.

We will start with Cybertron

Yep working and looking fine! :D

How do you actually display them in your house though? Those all look taken on the floor somewhere - unless it's a particularly wide shelf.

I dont have enough space to display them in my house. This might make some of you cry but this is how they are currently sotred:

Wow, I'm impressed with your control skills!

That was my solution for a while, before I realised I could display them at my father's house, in a different country altogether. I don't have many on show in my flat, however, and a couple are in boxes, yes. So I understand the feeling.

Any plans to acquire some extra shelves?

Not until I get my own place. I currently live with my in laws and don't have much room to myself.

The Prime collection looks great! A nice mix of Hasbro and Takara, with FE, PRiD and AM all in there. :D

You need more purplesaurs in your Megatron set though. :P

I also mixed up some Beast HUnters in there and cyberverse.

And as for Purple Dino Megatron, I have him and he's one of my first TFs (and I have the red dragon too). However I don't consider him a take on that same character so he would get his own picture one day. My collection pretty much replicates that time in the 90s animated Spider-man series where all the spideys from alternate dimensions met. Not saying its a good episode (I was lost as a kid) but in that interpretation of my colelction, BW Megs would not appear. Oh and I did have the Transmetal 1 Megs too once, but then he crumbled to peices.

EDIT

The pics are now updated with purplesaurs

I love transformers that emulate the Samurai theme. And with the news of the new Drift toy for Robots in Disguise, I felt like digging up those TFs from my collection. Didn't know if I should include Tigerhawk but he doesnt have any swords, so I didnt.

In every Transformers iteration, my favourite part is the dynamic between these two characters. They both love to hate eachother.

Now that I have roadbuster, I can play this scene out. There is one intruder though, or is he?

Image

I dont like generations Blurr. At all. He is such a prominant and important character and has been given a derivitive mold, why? He is supposed to be sleek, but instead comes across as bulky with massive shoulders and legs. And if I placed generations Blurr instead, that pick would have been too odd with 2 wreckers having the same mold.

Anyways... Here is another version of this team without the odd man in.

Va'al got me into PCCs so I thought it would be fun showing him where my collection is at and how much fun I am having with them.

The next four are my favourites!


Combaticons Vs Destructicons

Grimstone vs Seaspray !!!!!!!!

Would you call this overkill?
