Displaying G1 Transformers

[liegeprime]

that is one awesome set up u have there liege.i likey a lot.

Thanks. Glad you do.

That's about to go some changes actually. Got me some new"scaffold" shelves from Freedom - black tempered glass shelves. Also hoping to get some of those IKEA glass display cabinets to complement it, when I get the chance to go to one... so far for one who commutes heheh

Used to have them all in vehicle modes, but as the collection grew I had to change that to robot modes. The likes of the Seekers or Aerialbots take up a lot less shelf space when not in plane modes.

In Melbourne I used to have them all displayed according to size and which universe they came from. Then I would have a seperate set of shelves for some more of the famous bots I had multiple versions of (like having 8 different Soundwaves all standing next to each other)

I display 90% of them as robot mode, if i have doubles i will display them in each mode. Also depending on whether one of their modes looks crap, for example ironhide and ratchet, i will display them in their better looking mode, vehicle mode!

there should be a third option to this poll something along the lines of

"I display largely in bot mode but many are displayed in vehicle mode and they randomly change from time to time"

While th bot modes are generally where the primary feel of transformers is founded, I tend to prioritise my collecting to strong alternate modes that I like and of course characters I like, as such I like the vehicle modes, and displaying them in both gives my display a feeling of dynamicism, I change something at least a couple times a week.

For my G1 characters, right now I only have some G1 figures up at my parents house, they are also mixed, many of the G1 vehicle modes were very good.

I have all my g1 collection up here in sydney packed away to allow room on my shelves at the moment for Movie, Animated, classics and Prime toys.
