    I was looking through Ozzie Collectibles this afternoon and noticed that the Miriya VF-1J is now In Stock. So I placed an order and I should get it sometime next week. I am still waiting on my suppliers to get in the Max VF-1J. https://www.ozziecollectables.com/pages/search-results-page?q=robotech

    It comes down to think out side the box on how to best put your collectibles on display so you can enjoy seeing them. You have a great variety of collectibles which is always good to see. Knowing that you can walk around your collection and point out individual items that have similar themes and represents your core values is a win. "For instance, my Slave Leia (one of the most valuable TVC figures in the collection!) is almost completely obscured by Jabba's sail barge. 🤕" It's knowing that you have to put your Slave Leia figure next to Jabba's Sail Barge is the thing that counts. Thank you!

    "You have such unique displays, thematically consistent yet totally irrespective of aesthetics or scale. Fascinating! Me, I just can't bring myself to display realistic figures with anime characters, much less figures that aren't perfectly to scale with each other... 😅" We have broken every rule in these photos. Figures hiding other figures, figures that are too low to be observed, different movie figures mixed together, different themes that overlap with each other, you have bought too much of this and not enough of that. It's all sorts of wrong! 😄 Collecting expectations and comparisons: I can get 10 Hot Wheels cars to your 1 Marvel Legends figure. Correct! I can get 10 Marvel Legends figures to your 1 Hot Toys figure. Correct! I can get 10 Hot Toys figures to your 1, 1/3 scale statue. Correct! Keeping a variety of toys within a theme is the key for a better display. I believe in displaying "retro" toys with newer toys. There is no problem in displaying 1/12 scale figures with 1/6 scale and 1/4 scale figures or any other scale. You can display figures, collectibles and statues together in a shared theme. *shock* You may even find the need to put a few of your favourite anime figures along side non-anime figures in your collection if it suits your collecting space needs. I have never cared to have a "studio or museum" grade collection. I am pretty happy with the set up for my collection. It's just like displaying 1/48, 1/55, 1/60, 1/72 and 1/100 scale valks together. The thing is that they all work well together within a cohesive collection as long as you group them together to be consistent. Unless you are working off a diorama display, all of these toys will fit in together just fine. The high end 1/6 scale figures (Hot Toys & Sideshow) are a evolution of collecting the Star Wars 12" figures, Action Man, The Six Million Dollar Man etc. I don't believe in collecting complete toy lines where you have to acquire lesser desired figures mixed with good ones just to have them all. "that Phicen body is a very poor match for Slave Leia." That might be so, but that is what was offered when I got the figure parts including the Phicen body to complete Slave Leia. I think Leia's head is slightly smaller than it should be. There are better Phicen bodies as well as other body types I could use to correctly display her. I just have not bothered to acquire them yet. A thing to do in the future. Cheers!
