Figure Fixation

Image
It's that time again,people.A lull has struck and the influx of toys has come to a screeching hault!For a little while anyways.But this Is a good thing because now I get to appreciate what I do  have.I used to have a "Favorite 5 Right Now " segment where I would post the 5 figures that I was currently digging the most In my collection.Things have changed  a bit as far as how I look at my figures.Yeah there will always be that one that I tend to focus on  ,but I'm starting to realize that how I display them plays a big part  In what catches my eye the most.It's weird ,I know.But many who know me In real life will tell you that I'm weird ,so, there ya go.So I'm changing these posts name from "Favorite 5 Right Now" to "Figure Fixation".Because that's what happens.I get fixated on a figure for one reason or another,pick It up and take a picture of It.It's kind of like exorcising the fixation. Chameleon here has really grown on me

At The Corner Store

Ooooh,this is a good one!Corner stores.What would we,as kids,have done without em'!Corner stores were our gas stations.Where we would go to fuel up on junk food at the midway point of our  day.On the way there we would reflect on how things  had gone so far and speculate on what might or should happen next.Jokes were  told,friends were clowned and many a fart was laid. I think It was one of those things where the journey was more  enjoyable  than the destination.After all,we were free!Like Toy Box mentioned In his Round Robin post,back In the days there were no terror threats,Ebola outbreaks or ballsy pedophiles on the prowl.We all came from the same hood so everybody knew everybody and all the crazies knew better than to mess with anybody's kids.Corner store visits was our time to walk the streets on our own,free of any parental guidance.The sidewalks were ours to speed on with our bikes and skateboards.Parks,even if chained up,always had a weak link and a way In.But I di

Swiffer Box Dio Finalized

Image
I've finally put the finishing touches on my Swiffer dios,adding the Velcro wall mounts on them and placing the clear plastic covers on them to keep figures from falling out and to give It an encased finish.Below are the Velcro mounts I used. These Velcro mounts are cool because they allow for the displays to be removed and then re-attached If needed.The backs of the Swiffer boxes give you more than enough spots to place them.You can have them attached horizontally at the top and bottom or vertically over the two rounded indentations.     I chose to hang mine up on the exposed side of my shelving unit.The clear plastic covers really set them off I think and protect your figures at the same time.I would imagine this would be great for pretty much any collectible.You could paint up the background however you like and display everything from mini figures to baseball cards!If any of you guys ever decide to try this out ,I'd love to see them!
