In progress TOY ROOM PICS!

Since moving into our new house, I've finally begun the process of setting up my new toy room / music studio. I've still got a long way to go and TONS of figures to display, but I just put up all the shelving.

This room was really nice when we moved in - There were already cabinets and some shelving up...for now, I stuck all of the loose figures I had displayed in our last residence into the cabinets. You can also see my electronic drumset on the floor. I took this shot from the entry doorway, looking at the far wall.

Turning to the left, you can see the beginning of the shelves I just put up.

Turning all the way to the left you can see I've put shelves up across the entire wall. All of the figures I've bought since moving are stacked in their packages on the shelves for now.

And this is the other side of the room - the right side. Again, the whole wall is shelves. It's so sad how empty they look! I also have my music studio in that corner with all my other instruments and recording devices, which are still packed in boxes.

More pics to come soon! Thanks for lookin!

sweet set up you got goin there [img]graemlins/thumbs_up.gif[/img]

Very Nice! I also like the way the wood panneling comes up from the floor above waist height and forms a nice shelf. No wasted space below! [img]cool.gif[/img] [img]graemlins/thumbs_up.gif[/img]

Looking good man. Nice room you have there. Can I have it? [img]wink.gif[/img]

Thanks guys [img]smile.gif[/img] I've been dreaming about this room for 4 years...Living in an apartment all that time, 90% of my collection had to stay in storage!

TW - I agree, the paneling is really nice and makes a great shelf for figures. It was there when we bought the house, but it's as if it was BUILT for figures to be displayed on! [img]wink.gif[/img]

TCM - Unfortunately, I can't just give you the room...I'd have to give you the whole house with it, and I don't think my wife would be too happy about that [img]biggrin.gif[/img] [img]wink.gif[/img]

makes me wish i had my own hosue

Awww, damn, well, doesn't hurt to ask! [img]tongue.gif[/img]

That is going to look great when it's finished !!!

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">Near perfection! Congrats. I dont know if you keep them all in the clamshells, but you can hang some of them from the wood paneling. How about some posters as background for some of the collection? Would look super. [img]cool.gif[/img]

Awesome set up dude. you should think about installing some peg board to hold your figures. that would make a cool " toy store" affect.

do you play the drums? I see a nice electronic kit set up there? [img]cool.gif[/img]

Galactus - I'm actually primarily an opener. The only stuff I keep carded are the doubles of my Movie Maniacs. All the figures you see in the clamshells have actually already been opened...I just keep them in the packages until I display them. I hadn't really thought about what I might put up on the walls around the shelves / figures yet...thanx for the suggestion.

spawnkid - yup, I've been playing drums for about 12 years. I also have a full acoustic kit I keep at my parent's house. I use the electronic set in my own home because we have neighbors that are very close to us. I hope someday I can sound proof a room and bring in my "real" kit [img]biggrin.gif[/img] And I like your "toy store" idea too [img]graemlins/thumbs_up.gif[/img] ...even though I open pretty much all of my figures, I'm sure I could achieve the effect somehow.

ah very cool. [img]graemlins/thumbs_up.gif[/img] [img]biggrin.gif[/img]
Iv been playing drums for about 4 years. I stopped taking lessons though. but I do want to get an electronic kit,because they dont make as much noise.
Good luck with the toy room!

yup, electronic drums are actually very quiet, as far as the actual noise level / sound of your stick hitting the pad is concerned. Let me know if you ever need any help or advice picking out an electric kit some day. I really had to "mix n match" components on my set to find the best set up....there are some great manufacturers out there, but there are also some AWFUL ones. Electronic drums are expensive no matter what brand you buy, so it's better to know what you are getting into beforehand.

hmm ok. yea usualy when I see an electronic kit its in the 1,000 dollar range. Il let you know if I need any help. thanks
