Wellsirs, Brad (the partner/bf) and I just moved into a new house, with a big fenced in back yard for our little poochie Rugby (Dalmatian, hyper as all get out). As a snazzy little bonus, there's an extra room that we didn't really have anything to do with, other than stick a desk in and pop up lots of shelves for toys and books and the occasional DVD. We both collect toys, me of course leaning toward MLP, Fairy Tails, and Littlest Pet Shop, and Brad over in the boy's section with Justice League, JLU, comic books, and all that stuff, and all the toys were previously boxed, so its really nice to be able to display choice sets .
So, of course, we needed a tour!
Here we go!
Two huge shelves of heavy dark wood we picked up for $20 at a local Salvation Army. Brad's is the dark one. Mine is the one that looks like Rainbow Brite smacked into it and exploded .
But, wait... my top shelf seems mysteriously empty... Where could the fairy tail gang have flittered off too?
Oh, that's right, they're drying in the soup and tea cabinet after their condition and combout.
There we go, that's better!
And here we have the other side of the room, with the bulk of my LPS critters and G3 ponies, and Brad's glass display case with The Batman, Teen Titans, and JLA: Batman Vs. Superman (and then DVDs beneath).
Now for the real goods, the closeups.
Here we have the upper LPS / G3 shelf, featuring the deliciously rare Anchors Away, a detinselled Rarity, and a herd of wild beasts:
...And the lower, with all the kitties and doggies (except for the 100 or so that are stuck in a carry case because they're kind of fugly.)
And close ups of Brad's glass shelf, with hideous glare because I'm no photographer:
En route back over to the bookcases, we see a yet-to-be-hung cube of Justice League Unlimited figures, featuring the custom Kyle Rayner made by moi (before they decided to release one anyway, of course ).
And, back to the bookshelf!
Brad's Batman: TAS shelf (those are comic books next to the playset, but again, I'm no artist ):
Lobo chilling out with some books and games, and a couple shots of our pooch and Brad's beloved but departed other Dal, Bailey:
The top of the whole pile of stuff, the Radix figures, a short-lived but REALLY cute line of knights and castles sort of thing. Brad went crazy and snagged the whole set:
And, finally, on to the BEST part, the pink toys!
The bottom shelf of random MLPs, G2 & G1, with some books (close up of books included so you can judge my taste, but realize I have a ton more stashed away... These are just my favorites -except for Terminal Man, which is the one I'm reading right now.)
(Also note Season 1, Part 1 of She-ra, now available in stores!!)
Next up, the G1 Pretty Parlor and company, dominated by a Lemon Drop stained long ago with saddle bleed who now cannot take off her clothes:
And the Kohls LPS exclusive Playhouse, along with the exclusive and/or rare variant pets:
And finally, the Fairy Tails birdies. All of these came to me MIB except for the rare green fuzzy tummy. Some of them have had their tails and tufts switched up to make more pleasing combinations.
Close ups:
Egad, where's the wife? The Groom and the best man seem to have flown off together.
One of my favorite re-tails, this one now looks like a Phoenix:
Tattle tails preening:
Two of my favorites, UK Fuzzy Tummy and Twilight Tails:
Tea Time!
Thanks for stopping by and taking a peek . *wanders off to play*
