    I'm still working on bringing stuff back in... I'm going to have to limit what's on display.

    Here's a few shots of what has made the cut so far. I really had too much Joe stuff on display before, it was just all on top of each other. All of the vintage coffin boxes I have are behind these figures and most have a Joe in them now. My AT stuff just isn't fitting real well yet and may open up another shelf for more of those. Vehicles and boxed stuff really doesn't have a home yet.

    Captain Action isn't pictured here, but it's all mostly out and spread across multiple shelves.

        When I see collections like this, it makes me realize a lot of my stuff is just garbage. ;-) Gorgeous stuff. Good luck, and keep it safe!

          Very impressive collection, looks great. Has Joe clashed with Alien yet?

            I see that sailor hat I sent you. Did you ever figure out its origin?

              Ah good eye!

              Nope, I have what I feel is an early issue cloth cap on my boxed triple TM sailor(it's that boxed Action Sailor in the picture behind the brass rivet Joe) but it's not quite the same. Stitching is different but cool nonetheless but not sure what it came from.

                I always get a kick out of seeing the things in your collection, Danny.

                  Thanks for the nice words everyone! My family is less impressed with all of the old stuff I keep around here

                  Here's a couple of Captain Action shots... I have two Silver Streaks(one loose and one boxed) that aren't pictured. These haven't made it downstairs yet, they are still next to my bed, LOL...

                  As you can see, my Spiderman, Green Hornet, Batman, Robin and my other Dr. Evil lab set are still in their white boxes in these pictures. I may pull them out later but keeping them dust free is nice...

                    I might be in the market for a green or red invader if you’re considering letting them go, or if you have spares/parts laying around.

                        the stitching threw me off too.

                            I have a loose one. You have three and a boxed one. You win...

                              My wife would disagree as she gets to see these everyday, LOL...

                              Also one arm fell off on one of them while it was packed away, so i had to re-attach.

                              Don't you have a Hot Toys Alien collection? Those look really sweet! I'd love a Dallas set.
