I've been following
League of Extraordinary Bloggers (a weekly themed blog challenge from
Cool & Collected) for a while now, but
this week's photo assignment inspired me to join in the fun and share some of my display/storage shelves (at the point of writing, I found another example of the assignment at
Nerdy Life of Mine).
Since my display shelves get to change every move, I thought I'd share some of my shelves from the past as well.
 |
| Calgary, 2006: the basement nerd cave. |
 |
| The figure shelf, 2006. |
 |
| Southern Ontario, 2010: The doll & figure stage |
 |
Northern Virginia, 2014: the shelving corridor
It's poorly lit, but hey. |
Excellent, and welcome to the League!
ReplyDeleteIs it sad that the first thought I had was "oh, I spy a Nightcrawler...."
ReplyDeleteAnyway, very nice!
Ha! I'm totally guilty of looking for my own favourites in other people's group shots, so I'm saying "not sad at all!" ;)
DeleteTook me a while to find the Nightcrawler. My favorite X-Man character, tied with Gambit. That Creole drawl gets me. Also, do I see the karaoke-singing demon from Angel?
ReplyDeleteBe it ever so humble, there's no place like your own doll display. Looks like you have room for a few more on those shelves. :)
Heh, yup, there's just enough room left to rationalize some new purchases, I think! :)
DeleteAnd good eye! That is Lorne the singing demon from Angel! I even have his karaoke stand somewhere (probably in storage, but I bet I have photos of it somewhere...).
We have things in common! Gambit is my favorite as well, followed by Kurt. :)
DeleteVary cool. I LOVE IT!
ReplyDeleteThanks!
DeleteWelcome to the League from a fellow Virginian!
ReplyDeleteThanks, neighbour!
DeleteWelcome to the League! Hope to see more from you and your Toybox's revenge in the future!!!
ReplyDeleteThanks!
DeleteI think I see Mulder/Scully and perhaps Angel and Lorne Greene. Do I?? That corridor is awesome.
ReplyDeleteOh, yes! I think that is Angel, Lorne Greene, and Wesley in the third photo.
DeleteI love snooping to see who has whom. Nosey me ;-)
Yes, you got them right! That's the X-files crew on one side and the Angel crew on the other. :)
DeleteOoohhh! I see Kurt, too! Yay, Kurt. I loved him in the graphic novel _God Loves, Man Kills_ and the X-Men stories of that time. (Also loved Storm and Kitty Pryde.)
ReplyDeleteI like how that gray-haired bjd has a smaller brown-skinned fashion doll on his lap - is/was she his "dummy?"
Thanks so much, too, for introducing the League of Extraordinary Bloggers to your readers. I'm like - comic book fans AND doll/action figure collectors wrapped up together? Awesome!
"comic book fans AND doll/action figure collectors wrapped up together? Awesome!" - That's what I thought! :)
DeleteThe smaller doll does look like the "dummy" for the BJD, doesn't she? I'd actually meant for her to be a "fairy on the shoulder"-type, but I like your idea even more! :)
I spotted one of my favorites, Jeremy! I love Yellow Submarine. :)
ReplyDeleteWelcome to The League!
Thanks!
DeleteAnd good eye - People usually mistake Jeremy for a blue meanie! :)
