I really want to show off my collection since I haven't posted for about a year and I've been a member for 2 years and been collecting 3 years as of last week and I am up to 309 pops!! Love collecting these addictive little pieces of crack...I mean Pop! Vinyls hahah =) and everyone's collections have been amazing to look at and I feel it is only fair to share my collection also. Hope you enjoy!!
This is only my star wars collection because I don't know how to upload the instagram posts that are multiple photos and this pic has my latest acquisitions so even if I can't show you the rest I would like to show you my favourite part of my collection.

Question for anyone in here that uses the Laiva shelves from IKEA: what do you use for 'risers'?

I'm working on going OOB and think (after doing the measurements) that I should be able to go 3 deep as long as I tier the Pops. Any thoughts/suggestions are very appreciated. Sorry if it's been asked before! :)

Does anyone have the Finnby from Ikea? I just bought one and was wondering what they look like with In Box pops. Either shown from the front or from the side.
Preferably from the front so I can get a good idea. (I haven't had a chance to put it together yet, hence the questions).

Also, has anyone found/made an extra shelf that would work for the Finnby? Went to Ikea and it's one of the bookcases where they don't sell extra shelving unfortunately.

Thank you for taking the time to answer!

So this is me and my bf's collection as of now. The 3 black bookcases on left are Finnby from Ikea. The shelving fits fine in the middle shelves to fit 2 rows of pops but has an extra gap we'd have to put a pop sideways or a Dorbz. However the top and bottom shelf can't fit 2 rows so we had to either just put 1 row and/or with other things. The beige bookcase on the right is also from Ikea but I had bought it years ago so I don't think they make that style anymore.... but that one is perfect to stack 2 rows of pops all the way and pops fit perfectly side to side. Finnby does make it seem a little unorganized, but this for us is temporary. If you can make it work, I'd love to see how you did it too! Hope that helps! ;-)

Ahh thank you so much. I haven't gotten to the point of filling it out yet, but I definitely see what you mean..

What I've been doing so far is pretty much what you have for the first bookshelf; 4th shelf down. Four front facing, 2 side facing.

It bugs my nitpicky-ness that it's not evenly placed haha. But I think I found a solution.
I can do 2 high all the way down, just the last space will have to be tiered a little bit. I found these boxes that I think will work perfectly so I can at least get 4 front facing ones; not sure about the 2 side facing yet.
If you want to know, I believe they are these ≈ 4.5"H X 7.5"W photo boxes from Michaels. I plan to get 3 of them because I think it would fit perfectly in the ≈22.5" shelf.
I tried some acryllic risers, but the sizing was off.

I plan to take a picture when my new Disney Princess pre-orders come in.

Thanks! The lights are these copper wire LEDs you can get for pretty cheap on amazon. They come in different lengths. I got a 99 foot one cause I knew I'd be lining the tops and bottoms of each shelf.

First of all, this is a long--I mean a REALLY LONG post.

I posted a while back that I was converting my Garage into a Man Cave--meaning an exercise/recreational/inspirational room. Even though I like the term "Man Cave", it actually is a space for the whole family. In addition to me and my son Adam, I have 3 daughters who love fun, fitness, Funko, and collecting various collectibles too. Still, it's fun to use the Man Cave label; and it is true that Adam and I especially get a kick out of the whole set-up.

I love seeing pics and videos of other collections. For me, it's the enthusiasm people have for their collections that stimulates and inspires me most. Although I really don't feel that the size of a particular collection is what matters most, I have been fortunate enough to put together a really nice and large collection for our family's home. I use so many pictures in an attempt to convey the scope of the collection--trying to make use of pics taken from different angles, at different ranges, and under different lighting.

I really do enjoy collecting Funko (and other collectible products for that matter). In the process, Adam and I have gotten to meet some very nice people, and overall we've had a great Funatic experience. I hope that most of you enjoy what you see; and please excuse me for the post being so long. I wanted to do a reasonably good job, and have put a fair amount of work into trying to make the post tolerable. I have also included a few past-posted pics too in an effort to connect this post with past ones that I've done; also, I think it' fun to see some of those past pics again too, and sometimes I do make "before" and "after" comparisons. What you'll see is the basic set-up for 3 of the 4 walls of the garage room. There are a few more modifications and additions still to come in certain, designated places--but for the most part you'll be able to get a good idea of the set-up. The 4th wall hasn't really been developed yet, so that one is forthcoming (but it will take me some time). So this is what I've gotten done so far. Hope you funatics like it :) :


BEFORE--converted Garage with "built-in metallic garage door shelves"
Image

Image

Image

Image

CURRENT/UPDATED (entry door from inside home)
Image

Image

Image

Image

Image

Image

Mark Hamill-signed Walmart collectible that we acquired decades ago. Hung on to it and finally got it signed this year :)
Image

I have 2 functional Hallmark Death Star ornaments. One is for actual use and sits atop the lamp you see. The other (which was signed by Mr. Hamill earlier this year, as well) is being kept protected and covered as a display only item.
Image

Image

Image

Image

Image

Guess who's behind this dark silhouette?
Image

"I'm Batman!"
Image

Experimenting with placements.
Image

Front right hand corner view of room from its center after entering.
Image

There are actually 2 sets of shades covering the 4 garage windows (I didn't think one set would be enough to block out the amount of heat and sunlight I desired):

The inside-mounted Bali shades are a rust-color and remote-controlled. This set gives the windows and room a warm look (you may notice a difference in some of the pics). The effect is more noticeable on sunny days, especially in the late afternoon and evening.

The outside-mount shades over the windows are Cooleroo and are within the room too. These shades are a greenish color. On filtered light days and at night these show up best. Also, when the rust-colored inside-mounted shades are up, a filtered view of outside is what comes thru.
Image

Image

Image

Image

Still working on the Ghost Rider part of the Pop! and proto collection. I still have some ideas I want to incorporate. Hopefully, I'll eventually get them done.
Image

This pic is blurred from the outside light flooding in; but this is the general 1st view you get when you walk in.
Think it's a little easier to appreciate that this room serves as our family's in-home workout space.
Image

The large central piece is my Prospot weight gym. It's tremendously heavy, and once it has been positioned this thing does not move; it would have to be disassembled to relocate it--and that would not be an easy task. Another feature that I like about it and think is pretty cool is that it comes with a light-up feature for effect.
Image

Image

Another view (with the orange/rust-colored shades down in the day)
Image

Leftward view of Man-Cave. I have several black Husky tool-storage cabinets set-up in the room for my tools, accessories, protos, and for temporary and empty Pop! box storage.
Image

Examples of drawers.
Image

Some of my Batmans.
Image

Image

My X-Men/Phoenix display is on top of the taller Husky cabinet.
Image

Image

Overhead and to their left is Deathstroke.
Image

Image

View and lighting with the orange/rust-colored shades down during day.
Image

Repeat view using a flash.
Image

Closer up.
Image

Behind the workout bench-gym/weight system I've put the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Protos.
Image

Closer, overhead view. I got their display box for I think $13 at Hobby Lobby during a clearance sale. It was a little scuffed-up, but I got some paint to reasonably match, cleaned it up, and now I think it's perfect and looks great!
Image

I have a line of Power Rangers standing guard at the top of the display box. Both teams being from the same era coordinate and work well together in this display I think.
Image

Up and to the left, near the Deathstrokes and X-Men, there is a mini-Star Wars Pop!/Dorbz Ridez display.
Image

Empty slots for future offerings.
Image

I rather like the worn, distressed and dated-look painted wood on these. The color kind of ties in with the rust-colored inside-mounted shades.
Image

There is a 2nd box to the right of the room of this box. I'm planning on putting Sith lords and villains in this one (as they become available). I'm also planning on putting a 3rd box (I already have it) in the middle between these two.
Image

Moving on towards the left of the room.
Image

"To Me My Galactus!"
Image

Image

Image

Image

Image

I got the set of Galactus, Surfer, and Terrax signed by Stan Lee. It would be nice if someday other herald offerings became available--from Funko and from others. They would be a nice complement to this the arrangement. Imagine a Morg, Air-Walker, or Firelord.
Image

My Dallas Breakfast With Stan Lee 2017 souvenir badge. This was when and where I got this Galactus legendary-scale-level Maquette signed.
Image

Image

You may have noticed that throughout the room there are overhead spherical models placed that resemble our Solar System's planets, planetoid bodies, and other objects. I purchased this system on Etsy, and it too is still a work in progress. The models are placed at different positions throughout the room--distanced in such a way from the Galactus figure and the large yellow Sun over his head as to resemble more-or-less orbital tracks with those two pieces at the center.
Image

The view from Saturn and its' 5 moons)
Image

Jupiter is pictured here with one of its' 4 moons showing.
Image
Me and Adam really love the addition of the planets to the space.

This is an old pic-view directed toward the back wall of the room. It displays the very large statue case showcasing some large XM Studio pieces.
Image

I have a really nice centerpiece for the table in mind. Until then, this is what things look like so far.
Image

MAGNETOS AND THE SENTINEL
Image

Yes, I know it's ridiculous--but I do have two Magneto XM Studio statues--one helmeted and one unhelmeted. I didn't plan to do this, but so far as it has turned out, I''ve decided to make this work. I went through a fair amount of effort to get them both signed by Stan Lee. The signatures actually turned out great!
Image

Image

Between the two Magneto figures is a Sideshow Sentinel statue. All three are placed on tables I bought and spray painted in such a way as to make the letter "X" stand out. Again, I think the whole set-up turned out pretty well.
Image

Image

Image

Here is the Sentinel statue with its' lights turned on.
Image

Image

This is a "before" picture of Optimus Prime and the wall behind him--bare. I've chosen this corner-area to station my "Monsters" and "Darkness" arrangement(s). In the backdrop I have counter-emblems and figures that represent hope and light.
Image

Image

Image

Image

Image

Image

Image

Image

Image

Image

Image

Image


Image

And now, a villain with some serious swagger--LOCKDOWN!!!
Image

Image

And he's not alone in that corner either (just imagine "Lockdown's Theme" playing in the background ;-) ).
Image

Image
(this is the version of his theme song on YouTube that I like the best: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AU0YGX0Thb4&t=235s

Another angle
Image

Walking Dead, Breaking Bad, Sherlock Holmes & Moriarty, Once Upon A Time Pops! and Protos
Image

Image

Image

Image

The Burning Zombie is one of the protos that Adam and I received at this year's 2017 Fundays
Image

Image

Image

Image

Temptation
Image

Image

Image

Image

And now--Vampirella!
Image

Gotta trim that loose string at some point (I forgot to do it before I photographed).
Image

Image

This is 1 of 3 true non-production solid Vampirella bronze pieces from Clayburn Moore.
Image

This is the upward view when one is leaving the Man Cave...with the demoted planetoid Pluto overhead and a poster of Darth Nihilus positioned on one side of the exit door. Darth Nihilus is in a frame that lights up around the borders. I have a replacement poster on hand...since I damaged and wrinkled the one currently on display. Eventually, I'll make the exchange.
Image

Image

Looking back.

BEFORE--Spiral staircase leading to upstairs balcony, next to Man Cave/Converted Garage
Image

UPDATED/NOW
Image

Kill Bill and Matrix
Image

Wrestlers
Image

Boxers
Image


On the other side of the central upstairs balcony display--Dragonball Z (DBZ!)
I like to listen to Vegeta's theme (Hell's Bells) sometimes while I am looking at or reviewing this section. I like the orchestral and non-orchestral versions of the song--as well as most of Vegeta's Final Flash Theme Song.
Image

Image

Image

Image

Image

Image

Image

Image

Image

Image

Again, basically I found a cheap crate/frame I liked, painted it, and used it to fit my display needs (the window display is actually 2 completely different painted wooden units, one of them turned upside down; but the whole concept worked for my Dragonball Z idea.
Image

BROLY!

MEDIA ROOM (unfinished)--Frontal View
Image

Image

Bowen bronze Batman
Image

Bowen bronze Hulk with gold Stan Lee signature, and Marvel Collector Corps 2nd-year Spider-Man Founder's gift.
Image

Bowen bronze Hulk with silver Stan Lee signature, and Marvel Collector Corps 1st-year Captain America Founder's gift.
Image

MEDIA ROOM--Looking toward back
Image

Image

Image

Image

Some of you have probably seen these displays at Target. This one is housing my Harrison Ford-related Pop! collection.
Image

"Why so serious!"
I, for one, believe that Heath Ledger's performance as The Joker was absolute genius. It has to be one of the most iconic and best villain representations and performances ever!
Image

Image

Pretty sure I'm going to do something else with this particular arrangement--"CONAN AND THE CONANS"...our beloved Barbarian and our mischievous Entertainer! (or did I get that backwards? :) ). I have an idea in mind, so we'll have to see how that turns out later. Incidentally, I am planning on painting the stand that they're on a dark color or black so that it matches the rest of the room.
Image

And last but not least, my Funko Pop!-proto Iron Man display.
Image

Image

What better way to end this than with these signature pieces.
Image
THE END (for now)

Thanks for tolerating this lengthy post. I know it's over-the-top, but I really enjoy collecting and putting this stuff together. I also really do enjoy seeing all of your various collections and posts--no matter the size or level of expense...because as I mentioned earlier when I started this post, it's your enthusiasm that is contagious for me, and that inspires me. So I plan to keep working on this collection, and I am looking forward to seeing what ideas, arrangements, innovations some of you have up your sleeves. For me, it's a pleasure to interact and communicate with other fanatic funatics. It's a pleasure to be a part of this community.

:cheers: :cheers: :cheers: :freddy3:
