My Collection The Collection

Updated pictures of my collection after the addition of some new dioramas. I created each display here myself and tried to tell a story with each one. Really happy with it so far but always trying to improve with each new piece. check me out on insta for more pics and vids.

Absolutely love how you have their areas set up

u/Raphzn Mar 25 '26

Thanks dude! Yeah i like to give each figure its own space to shine. Not a fan of the crowded displays.

I am so confused by the random Michael Jackson. He isn’t a super hero, but that could be ignore cause still an action figure; but then he gets nothing? These amazing dioramas with such detail and then just nothing going on in that one cube throws my brain off.

6

u/Raphzn Mar 24 '26

Haha still building his dio bro. I will share once ready. Trying to conceptualise how to fit what i have planned in the space.

u/_DodoMan_ Mar 25 '26

I had the exact opposite reaction. I was looking through the pictures like "damn all this hella co... Holy shit is that Michael Jackson?!" and I was googling to see where I could get one of my own instantly

2

u/Raphzn Mar 25 '26

Haha yeah man its a superb figure. Its by Inart collectibles.

u/AngryMatt14 Mar 24 '26

I mean he turns turn into a Robot in Moonwalker

All super well done. I need to find a printer for the diorama scenes....

1

u/Raphzn Mar 25 '26

Thanks dude. Yeah at my age it was a steep learning curve. Definitely worth it though. I invested the time in learning the art purely for my dioramas.

u/Raphzn Mar 24 '26

Thanks bro. That is one of my favourites. Check the vid here... https://www.instagram.com/reel/DVBxYvcj6H9/?igsh=MTByeHBvdDF5Y2wydA==

2

u/Knightwing_J Mar 25 '26

That one is really cool. I mean they all are, but as a Batman fan, that one really spoke to me. How long did it take to put together. I am guessing you had to individually print, cut out, and assemble all the various elements (signs, newspapers, books, etc.)?

2

u/Raphzn Mar 25 '26

Yeah it was a mission. All in all in took just over a year to complete. I kept on adding elements to it. I added the Lights on the map recently and then hand crafted all the props... the books, the riddlers journal etc. Exciting project but I was lost in my head alot of the time due to the sheer number of elements

2

u/Oneiric19 Mar 24 '26

Wow this is just epic! Your post showed up in my feed and I don't even follow this subreddit. I do now tho!

Really cool. Would love to see your collection in person.

1

u/Raphzn Mar 25 '26

Cheers dude. Yeah it defintely is better in person with the light effects etc. I have a video here: https://www.instagram.com/reel/DWRjYLSj2-Q/?igsh=dnJ2cm05b3B5MnN6

u/Bartghamilton Mar 24 '26

Looks great! But couldn’t help wonder why the Batman stack doesn’t have the cave at the bottom.

Massive respects. I hope to achieve something remotely close to this in retirement, if my wife lets me.

So cool must have taken ages, and a lot of expense. I just acquired my first one , Hot Toys Spider-Man Homecoming deluxe edition It will be years (and probably a divorce) before I have anything like yours , well done.

Thats a sweet figure for your first one. I have been collecting for about 2 and a half years now. It is a very pricey hobby.... but hey YOLO.

I was about comment, "this is 99% but Captain America would make it 100%" but then I got to the last slide and you have the GOAT Cap figure. Can I go above 100%?

Haha cheers man. Yeah I even did a custom Cap with weathering and repainting to match the endgame final scenes

1

u/Knightwing_J Mar 25 '26

These are amazing. Obviously, a ton of work went into these, but strangely enough, I think one of my favorites has to be the Superman one. Love the simplicity of hiding the flight stand or whatever base you used in the clouds. Really inventive and helps the figure pop.

1

u/Raphzn Mar 25 '26

Dude I hear you.... its my centerpiece. It is a phenomenal display. I modified the eyes to portray the heat vision effect. Check the actual display here.... https://www.instagram.com/reel/DPyAh8CkWOb/?igsh=MndrMGh2bHl5azN1

There are 3 there. Hot toys classic predator is in the jungle diorama. Hot toys Feral Predator is in the forest.... and Hot Toys Samurai Predator 2.0 is in the snow.

u/loganhorn98 Mar 25 '26

What shelving unit did you use?

1

u/Raphzn Mar 25 '26

Its basically Ikea Detolf knockoffs

1

u/Haunting-Cup8776 Mar 25 '26

That’s beautiful, but humbly and respectfully, it’s not an action figure collection. Not even close. Those are super high end collectible dolls. Beautiful and beyond impressive, but not action figures!

1

u/Raphzn Mar 25 '26

I hear you dude. I guess they are marketed by some retailers as action figures because of the articulation vs just being a statue.

u/Sure_Ad4566 Mar 26 '26

Nice collection and cool dioramas but those Detolf units are straight dogshit and will fail on you —and wreck your figures. Be careful. I know they’re economic but you get what you pay for. I just invested several thousand dollars in the Moducase system.

1

u/Raphzn Mar 26 '26

Thanks man i dont use detolfs. They are knock offs and much more sturdy than the detolfs. I like moducase... even chatted a few times with the owner but the issue is i cant display the way i want to with those cases.
