tbay's Collection - Back to Detolfs: pg. 6

I've been collecting for years (lots of complete crap) and was sickened with how much stuff I had. I sold and donated everything not 1/6 (with the exception of the pixar display on the top shelf) and recycled all of my dvd cases so it could all fit in one binder (I plan to donate the dvd's and stick to blu-ray). I know collecting is a slippery slope so for the past couple years I've limited myself to the cabinet, the binder and one small box of custom parts. If I add to the collection I sell something to make room for it. It's been pretty liberating to have limits (well for a sideshow freak ). I used to want to buy everything in sight, now I'm becoming more picky by the day.

I opted for the closed door display so I don't get tired of it

Thanks man, I wish I could just do one theme because I like so much stuff that my collection can always get out of control.

Thanks man, I hope someone does a coming to America Eddie murhpy one day so I can put them side by side.

Re: tbay's Sports, Entertainment and Sports-Entertainment Collection

Awesome. Wrestlers are fantastic of course. Looks like that great Eddie Murphy I tried to get ahold of before the sculptor just. . left the boards for good I guess? Definitely a figure someone should tackle (I think it would be a great Iminime release).

What other Bret Hart are you looking to do? I would kill for a great Hart Foundation-era Hitman.

Thanks, I'm really happy with how they turned out.

Yeah, I wish that sculptor didn't leave. He did such great work with Eddie. Guess he pulled the banana in the tailpipe move

I'd be all over an Iminime Axel

I was putting together a couple Bret's this year: an all pink attire Hitman and one of those paint splatter looks.

The paint splatter look has pretty much fell through, but I think the all pink version will be completed within the year. I'm basing it on this pic:



I'd really love a Hart Foundation era Bret too, but I would really need the Anvil to go along with him. I've been watching clips of the Owen/Bret feud, absolutely loved the Anvil as Owen's sidekick.

A New Hart Foundation lineup would be fantastic, but that's a pipe dream, though I am seriously considering commissioning an Owen sculpt.
