    Default Where do you put Fort Max/Metroplex/Devastator?

    I'm finding that my huge figures are collecting far more dust and crap on the floor than the figures on the shelves. I'm guessing I'm not the only one with figures too large to fit on shelves, so where does everyone put their huge figures?
    I have a list of all G1 characters that have been released in CHUG form. You can find it here. Please feel free to let me know if I got anything wrong so I can fix it.

    Yep, top of the book case. It doesn't keep them clean but they look nicer up there.

    +1 ^ this......just make sure that they are securely standing and no posing coz otherwise they will topple... and make sure the shelf you put them on doesn't rock or wobble as well.

    ^This for Fort Max. Metroplex and Devastator are on shelves. I'm talking G1 and not Combiner wars

    That is absolutely glorious. I need to take the drum kit out of my collection room and put in some ogling/admiring bean bags (plus rad lighting) to be very similar.

    All my shelves are "custom" installed so certain series will fir the sizes just right, I specifically made two shelves for Fort max (or equivalent) and Titan Metroplex above him just to have a magnificent bigbot corner
    I still function.....................while killing threads. ;-)

    Metroplex (and Devy soon) are on the top of my shelf. He's posed quite decently and stands solid. I do also have a drumkit in my room, which makes a lot of figures move around and sometimes fall over, but he seems to stay there. I am always worried though.

    My toys are arranged in order of series and faction, so...
    * Metroplexes = 1986 Autobot middle shelf
    * Trypticons = 1986 Decepticons, top shelf
    * Fortress Maximi = 1987 Autobots middle and top shelves
    * Brave Maximus = Car Robot/RiD shelf
    * Generations Metroplex = CHUGUR, top shelf
    * Generations Devastator = CHUGUR, lowest shelf (actually a TV stand)
    * Unicron = Armada shelf
    * Primus = Cybertron, lowest shelf (in planet mode to conserve space)
    * Darth Vader/Death Star = Star Wars (in Death Star mode to... you get the idea)
    * Darth Vader/Anakin/Star Destroyer = SW, Destroyer mode

    I have my drumkit in my 'study' which also happens to have a glass display cabinet in the corner. (and desk and computer desk and bookshelves full of DVD's.) Sadly there is no 'collection room'

    My Metroplex stands on a shelf above my desk in the same room. I'm not sure where Devastator is going.
    my G1 Fort Max stays in his box in the wardrobe because I don't have the space for him.
