Under The Weather & Full Of Cabin Fever, Methusalen Decides To Rearrange His Toy Display!

Hello Internet, and welcome to another episode of "Methusalen's Corner of the Internet"!

Smurfette's been fighting a sinus infection on and off since Thanksgiving, and this time around; she's been kind enough to share with me! :)

Being stuck down rather hard the last few days, and now getting a bit of Cabin Fever; I decided to rearrange the Transformer Shelves... It took me 3 hours to do (between sitting, taking breaks every so often, and being relatively worn out from being sick), but I'm rather happy with the results...

 The pictures above, to the right, & below are the shelves on my desk.

The top shelf now contains some of my favorite Optimus Prime figures (that aren't on the shelf below it). Some Kabaya kits, the little THS-02 Hybrid Style Convoy, TFTM & ROTF Prime, my Masterpiece Prime, & my few boxed Primes...

The shelf below contains my Nemesis & Optimus Prime figures, paired up opposite their counterpart...

I am especially happy with how well this shelf has turned out. My "Hilltopper/Kitty Truck" figure is a happy stand-in for the Jafcon Prime, and the custom Powermaster Optimus Prime (made by my friend 'M') is my likely permanent Nucleon Quest Convoy stand-in...
-Note Smurfette's two Mickey Mouse figures, which happen to fit in with this shelf perfectly!

Now, this bookshelf contains the main reason for my desire to rearrange the shelves...

See that Megatron on the top shelf? No, that e-Hobby G1 Black Megatron on the customized display stand may be pretty awesome; but the large green G2 Megatron!

You see, he just would *NOT* fit onto one of the lower shelves in robot mode. In order to display him in his superior Robot Mode, he required some additional height! Sadly, as these shelves are not adjustable; I had to move the Megatron figures to the top shelf!

Needless to say, I have no issues bumping my guys up onto the top shelf! :)

 I'm a bit saddened that the e-Hobby Megatron & his stand is obscured a bit behind the other figures, but overall I'm pretty happy with how well the figures are shown.

I'm thinking that I may end up putting the figures in the center of the shelf in vehicle mode, or figure out a way to elevate the e-Hobby figure in pistol mode; so that he's not blocked by the other figures...



The second shelf contains the Dairycon figures, as well as Smurfette's Rodimus figures!

I was happy that I was able to fit the Dairycon 10 Year Hardcover (angled on the shelf), along with all of our figures... On the far left-hand side of the picture; you can see Smurfette & I's lanyards from shows past!

On the right are Smurfette's G1-MP Rodimuses (Rodimii?)...

The third shelf is pretty much all Smurfette's... Between her Jazz figures, her Blaster, a few cassettes, a Blue TM Rattrap, & a Cyberverse Bulkhead...

Smurfette's Jazz figures are *mostly* movie-verse figures, but she does have an Encore Jazz, Hasbro Reissue Ricochet/Stepper, an RTS Jazz & another w/ a set of G2 Reprolabels... Not to mention that she's got a few Legends Jazzes in there!

 Her Bumblebee shelf! Not only does this shelf contain a G1, Pretender, G2, Animated, Movie, Mighty Mugg, Human Alliance, Bot Shots, Bumblespud, a Disney Label Mickey ('cuz he's got a VW alt mode!), but in the very back?

-You might just see a GoBot in there!
Yup! Bug Bite has been able to infiltrate the ranks! :)

Finally, any Prime figure that didn't make it on to the shelves at the desk have been delegated to the bottom shelf of the bookcase...

Between a few TFTM, ROTF, Animated, DOTM, Rescue Bots, & more... (and yes, you might note another GoBot on this shelf too!)

 The smaller shelf...
Used to have Metroplex on the top shelf & some misc. Seekers on the second one... We've since sold off the non-G1 Seekers & freed up some space for Smurfette's Grimlocks!

The top shelf now has all of Smurfette's Grimlocks!
These figures used to reside on the top shelf of the desk, but they're now happily residing on the top of the smaller bookcase!
MP, Alternator, Prime, Animated, Energon, Prime, Pretender, G2; not to mention the group of WST Dinobots (including two different TFsource Stocking Stuffer pairs)!

Behind these guys, you'll see a VHS copy of the "S.O.S Dinobots" episodes from the original G1 series!

 As I had mentioned before, Metroplex here used to reside on the top shelf of this bookshelf; but has bow been dropped down to his current home!

He's surrounded by misc. G1, G2, & Encore reissue Minibots, as well as some Micromasters, a custom repainted BB keychain figure (in black & grey, with his yellow head), and another GoBot...

This time, it's the Rock Lorde Slimestone!

The bottom shelf has my comic books!

the book on the left is the Transformers Vault book, chronicling the history of the Transformers from Pre-G1 to (near) current day...

There's another GoBot there in the center, a Staks figure I bought MIB. His trailer is still within his box, but I was able to apply the figure's stickers! :)

The comics include G1, G2, Regeneration One, Titan G1 Trades, and even some more recent IDW books...

 The last bookshelf?
That last one has a few characters that Smurfette & I decided we couldn't part with from the collection when we decided to do the latest purge...

The multi-colored KO Devastator is actually going to be going to a friend of mine, along with a few other figures; but I haven't taken him down yet... The Jumpstarters are staying put, but I couldn't decide on what shelf to stick them onto... Smurfette's Tracks figures weren't going *ANYWHERE*, as neither were those Hound figures of mine... There was something abut those two figures that we decided we just couldn't part with... Since this picture was taken earlier today, another friend of mine has since informed me that they're going to be giving me the Classics Hound figure (sans Ravage) to be added to the little collection of Hounds! :)

...And then there are these three Seekers.
While Smurfette & I used to have the trio in Bot Shot, Classics (or "CHUG" if you prefer), & Movie-Verse forms; there was something about the 'original' three figures that we decided we needed to keep.

The Starscream is a vintage G1 figure.
Thundercracker in the front is from the Hasbro Commemorative Reissues.
While Skywarp is from the Encore release of the figure.

I had a custom set of Seeker missiles made for these three, so that each one had matching Seeker Null-Rays... Pretty happy with that, so that these three figures, from three different lines; are all identical in the end... ;)


And *THAT* is what this ill little Transfan did today...
It took me 3 or so hours to do today, including all the little breaks & whatnot...
But, in the end; I'm pretty happy with how well it had worked out.
Once again, I'm happy and content with how well the collection's on display... :)


OH! I almost forgot!
-Out in the living room!
We've got the Kre-O sets of Optimus, Bumblebee, & Jazz on display in front of the television (as they're just underneath the screen), as well as the Machine Wars' Optimus Prime on top of the stereo!
-This guy's standing atop of his trailer in Battle Station mode, which is currently sitting on top of our stereo... It's a perfect set-up, and I'm really liking him on display out there! :)

Anyway, with Dairycon coming up soon (April 5th & 6th); it's only a matter of time until my next update to the blog! :)
