[@race2thebottomii542]

This by far was skulls best episode Eva. You need to have your wife speak more. I love it how she chewed you out. Clearly she is the brains of the house lol

[@jasonreyes1342]

What a great episode! That Frozen Han Solo comment from Robert D was the best, lol. "You killed him! Cut him in half just to get ice!"

[@Transfixed]

That was really good :D

[@ZetZatar]

Laura is 100% right. I went to from 1/4, straight into 1/1 scale (see my profile picture). While fulfilling, it was impossibly to display it all (MUCH harder than smaller pieces). So lots went into storage, and then eventually sold off when some hard times hit. That is the fate of the collectors journey.

[@justGSquared]

I know these are older videos of yours, but I still wanted to thank you for them. My collection room looks so much more de cluttered and organized thanks to these.

[@82cvcvc]

Great video Bobby!! 3:40 showed my display thanks for that 🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻

[@prowlprime]

Bobby, I have to say, your "Dummies" series has become my favorite thing that you're doing. The information, the discussion, the humor---keep up the good work, man. Thanks for all you do.

[@MayorMacCheese696]

My friend these Collection type videos are great!! I feel like you are the only you tuber discussing the "next level" of collecting. I've reached the point in my collect too where I have a ton of stuff but need a mature or professional way to show off my trophies. I sometimes feel lost in my collection and your vidz are a ray of light in a sea of plastic. Please keep doing videos with these type of next level collecting topics!! Thank you, keep em coming!

[@kek23k]

Despite the fact these episodes have made me feel bad about my crowded detolfs, I've still enjoyed the conversations. Your wife had some very insightful comments about the addiction/collection process. I try to make sure I never complete a collection because it stops me for looking for something new and I can flip back to add some more stuff when I get bored of whatever is my main focus. It's that 'I'll just get one as a showcase item' that somehow accelerates into 'but I only need 2 more to complete it' :D. I've got a suggestion for a future topic, 'Have you made plans for what happens to the collection when you die?' None of us are getting any younger, it's something I've thought about more often as I get closer to Kup than Hotrod ;)

[@AgtWashingtub]

That is what i have kids for.

[@kek23k]

@@AgtWashingtub but what if they grow up and don't shoulder the mantle or take any interest? How do you ensure your family, significant other, friend or whatever doesn't end up getting fleeced by vultures? Would you keep an itemised list of values, nominate a trusted third party (lol) or what? Genuine questions.

[@_AlexB_]

This is great stuff. I don't know why it's so fun to listen to u guys but it is. Going back and forth with the wife was hilarious :D

[@AgtWashingtub]

I love For Dummies so much. Thank you for the effort Uncle Skully

[@DnycAlchemist]

Love this series and this episode... watched it a few times. Keep them coming, you the wife and the rest of the click are too funny and brutally honest..

[@Xsis_Vorok]

Woo! One of my shelves made it! Hilarious vid. Keep them coming!

[@geewunder1171]

What's really cool Bobby is that for much of your collecting career, you've been online, and we've all been on this journey with you. I think you had me somewhere around "I'm taking an Ollie"... and it's been a great ride ever since. As somebody who fell down the 1/4 scale hole within the last 6 months, I can tell you it gets expensive fast... it often starts with Sideshow 1/4 Premium Format at $500, but pretty soon you're looking at XM 1/4 around $900, and then pretty soon you're thinking, "well, I can do just one 1/3 scale prime 1..." (which I recently did, with the Knightfall Batman), and that pops your $1000 cherry and it just escalates from there. Be prepared brother. I think you hit the nail on the head though, with quarter scale and above you really do get more choosy about who matters to you. Every quarter scale display is pretty unique because nobody does all of them - it's really more about you at that scale, and that is pretty dang personalized and cool. Good luck in your quest, and start the reviews with that Premium Format Batman in the study, my man!

[@cliftonsmith4013]

You killed him. You cut him in half just to get ice. Funniest line ever

[@Sportimus]

No offense, Bobby, but I also think 1/4 scale is a very bad idea. It's your money, but I think it is a huge mistake. While small scale like 3.75 inch figures are hard to display, the really large ones are as well. They will eat up space so fast, you won't know what hit you until it's too late. 1/6 is perhaps the maximum. I personally prefer to stick with 1/12 scale or MP scale as the maximum size. You get sizable pieces that are also not too unwieldy to display and you can space them out to look presentable while still being able to amass a decent amount without over-crowding. This is exponentially harder with 1/4 scale. And it's spacial, not "spacio". I've done some interior design, so I can't help myself. lol.

[@LS-jk3fk]

Im 15 and i love 3rd party i started collecting half a year ago i currently have some TFC stuff in the way as well as MMC. love your reviews bobby you have so many

[@iamtheomnimonkey]

Awesome conversation. Thanks

[@StryderWolfe]

This (along with part 1) was a really interesting conversation and gave me a lot of food for thought regarding my display (and hoarding) habits! Also, and I know it's none of my business, but since it was brought up I don't recommend going 1/4 scale. It's just too much, both money and space. These things always get out of hand. This coming from a guy who already has a preorder in for MP44...

[@TimKaysNerdcrate]

Fuck yes! 😁 My Terminator collection in his favs at 14:37. Thx, Bobby. 😍 Love the "Fo(u)r Dummies". Works so well and my 2 cents on 1/4: It's your collection. If you wanna do it, you'll find a way. But spacing, from what I've seen of your space, could be tricky. Nevertheless: Looking forward to the next episode. 😊✌

[@danielharvey1472]

The only 1/4 scale statue I've ever considered is that Batman Who Laughs. I fucking love the way that looks, and it burns me inside. I just don't have a spot for it. Hell, I don't have spots for my current stuff.

[@brainarddesign6853]

This is why I like detolfs, each cube is perfect for 1-3 figures and its clean and focused. The glass allows for the figures to be the main focal point, not the cabinet plus they don't look cheap IMO - Happy collecting all

[@THEShoky]

But see if you have the Han in carbonite you WILL need Boba Fett so you have have him guarding his prize.

[@WeebotTheRobot]

Stop torturing him!

[@THEShoky]

@@WeebotTheRobot no. Lol

[@StryderWolfe]

that would actually be really cool :D

[@JimmyHauser]

I still think if you can have your whole collection displayed, you succeeded. No matter how cluttered. No matter how cheap the shelving. Personally I can’t reconcile spending anymore than the bare minimum on shelves. Every dollar spent on shelving is a dollar not spent on the collection. I have simple Home Depot particle board shelves bolted to the wall. Not one person who has seen my collection has ever said “those are cheap looking shelves.” As for 3.75; all my Star Wars 3.75 (save for a few dioramas) are displayed carded. I love the MOC look. It’s like being a kid in toys r us again every time I stare at my collection.

[@nathanrocca5126]

Those Moducases look really good, might have to invest in a wall of them in the future (woo my display made it in!!)

[@mark4flair376]

Robert D's personal utopia would to have tiny custom detolfs to display the Mechfan Toys line. The detolfs would have to be small enough so that every MFT figure looked like Omega or Constructor crammed into a regular sized detolf. This is Robert's end game much like 1/4 scale statues are Bobby's....... Great show guys, these "3 Dummies and 1 Wise Voice of Reason" videos are the best......

[@billpendry]

Great episode. Mrs. Skullface keeping it real!

[@tferno1productions216]

I've seen the cheap version of those endgame display cases. They are fish tanks from either PetSmart or Pet Supplies Plus or whatever pet store that sells fish tanks. As long as you get the ones with the little lip on the top you can stack them perfectly and have lights inside of them as well

[@benmccall8932]

Why did I look up Moducase!?! Now I have something to strive/save for. Really enjoyed this display series.

[@traxxasrustler9688]

All these Display's are very cool, The thumbnail/ 3:27 and 14:42minutes is set out really well. They are all impressive but it really compliments the variety in the display.

[@nathanrocca5126]

ayeee thats my old display, cheers

[@RTsunami23]

Great discussion. Bobby congrats on the Evil-Lyn. I have her as well displayed with my Pop Culture Shock Battle Cat. And those 2 are it for my 80's era He-man. Next to them, I have Sideshow Baroness, Sideshow Storm Shadow, Pop Culture Shock Lion-O, and a Vinyl Toynami Go-Lion Voltron. I wanted this scale to represent the 80's era cartoons I grew up with. With scale, we all have to draw a line somewhere, for me, due to spacio XM, Prime 1, Legendary Scale is out of the question. Save your best 3.75" figures for the Jabba's Sail Barge. And if the end all be all must be the Han in Carbonite... I think you already made your mind up on that lol. Madness, as you know, is a lot like gravity, all it takes is a little push.

[@DolkkarToyznstuff]

You can do it, with Moducase! Haha! The shameless plug! They do look fabulous, however! Another solid addition to this series!

[@theintangiblecog5157]

This is funny because I moved to a teeny-tiny place a few months back. Very little space with pre-shelved closets for leagues; so unfortunately that's where my collection resides. I originally had dark wood curio cabinets with sliding glass doors, but they're just too large and heavy to move into this place. My point is I'm always having to rethink display options based on my surroundings.

[@dare2727]

Moducase thats what they were talking about on Enter the Realm. I tried to comment on that in the last video when I was saying either those or the custom case Joe KW got is the holy grail of displays. My collecting room is small but lord willing in my next house i will have those

[@CoffeePhilosophy]

Collections become stagnant because there is no evolving story to keep them alive. Move beyond nostalgia and create.

[@matineyang]

DZ W75TFR I tend to agree. I started with a little hot toys collection but now I find I’m much happier creating kitbashes and custom figures. It’s more fulfilling for me.

[@THEWATCHERISLOOKING]

If they make 6 inch GI Joes. Ill be broke that year. All my going out money will be gone.

[@nylok4566]

So how’s the six inch scale GI joe going

[@collguyjoe99]

Short of buying $500 retail displays, detolfs are the best value for the money

[@Xsis_Vorok]

I like my detolfs, but value wise? I think a bookcase may be a better value. I can put 6 maybe 7 shelves in my billy bookcase, but then they need lighting and a glass door...

[@hughorr]

4:20 this audio is perfection

[@drewc9169]

Growing up my cousin had his jetfire displayed on a top shelf and I thought that was the coolest thing. So when I got mp-1 I put him on my shelf as "decoration". Then I picked up ft snarl and I put him on my shelf, the top is right at eye level, when I set him down and saw the die cast feet plant into place I got chills. I like what the guy said, "you remember them in scenes not really armies." And that's how I display my TF collection on scenes. Every so often I'll change it up and rotate characters in or out. This is why I care how the back cleans up. Cause if I want a head on look of prime punching megatron, megatron's back has to look presentable. Doesn't have to be perfect but presentable.

[@darkaeons21]

Next level is having live human statues cosplay around the house.

[@josefrootgum]

I only have 1 display cab in my home office space and only display 8 figures for 1 whole month. It's my way of properly appreciating each one of them.

[@ethanseovic1022]

I’m only fairly new to collecting transformers masterpiece and to me all the money you spend is for nothing of you can’t display them properly. It’s like keeping a brand new Lamborghini in a leaky wooden barn with a dirt floor, your just not doing it justice.

[@thetoysoldieractionfigures1238]

Exactly! WOuld you check out my display and let me know what you think?

Not for nothing, but if I bought a Lamborghini, I couldn’t care less where it’s parked when I am not driving the snot out of it.

@@JimmyHauser This video may be old but you completely missed the point lol

[@mikeytmb612]

Is never a problem with enough detolfs! I understand the dilemma with the glass void with some of the smaller figures, but I feel spreading the larger characters among the cabinets eliminates that feeling for me. Add in some props and the odd risers creating the diorama effect and I'm good. Any thoughts? G1 and done!

[@soulcraft_84]

I like Robert’s voice, he sounds like a Transformer. He got the matrix and became Detolfitus Prime!

[@modokmike3601]

I started with G.I. Joe 3.75, moved into MP Transformers, and then into 1/6 and Hot Toys. In-between my display cabinets, I have pedestals where I place a 1/4 to 1/3 Statute which are my favorite characters in their “ultimate” representation. Sounds like your trending that way and you won’t be disappointed, but you will be broke.

There’s no sound issue, Skullface is just friends with Astrotrain.

I saw that the Warehouse is like 2 miles from me...thanks Bobby...not sure if that's sarcasm yet...haha

[@Tombstonecross]

There is always the "next" thing in the collector world, people are buying 1/4 stuff, because it is the ultimate thing, then they regret it, trying to sell it, starting with 3 3/4 stuff again, lol.

Tbh, and don t let your wife read it, cos u ll be hearing it till your deathbed😉: but i think she s right. Yes, i said it: she - is - right: there is no end. I remember thinking "yeh it s a high price, but i just need this ONE masterpiece soundwave for my desk." then it converted to classic decepticon badguys and then everything masterpiece. Now, i ve tumbled into the hot toys rabbithole aswell with: "if only i had this deadpool, i would be satisfied, just look at that detail of the gun! It comes out and shows a bullit, i NEED that". After you're done with the characters, 1/4th scale, lighting and shelves will be a thing like u say, after that you will probabely swap out pieces for even more poseable ultra-masterpiece pieces, like a transformable flame toys or something. The hole will never be full, especially as you have such a cool social circle also in the collecting hobby. It s the best never ending addiction 😁

Nobody let him play with a phicen figure, I love their accessories. I bought 2 lady deaths just for the thrones.

[@MisaelCastilloBrenes]

The problem is that when you think you are close to complete your collection, someone comes with a new figure that you don't have and you thought you will never get, or it has an improvement to an existing one and you think the new will fit better with your other figures... So the sky is the limit for creativity and greed, but the wallet is the limit of the average collector. :)

[@johnlant1730]

I hate clutter. I will throw perfectly good items that no longer fit in the trash to avoid it. Clutter makes a display look like shit. I have learned that less is more when displaying. All my chug is gone. Had tons of it. Shoveled it out and dumped in the bin.

Allot of these collections look like a mad woman’s washing

[@The_Bulette]

.....hmm. Maybe I should have sent pics of my TF collection. As not one picture or comment was made about "action/battle" type displays on large wall mounted shelves using an entire collection.. an I am talkin MP here, not legends! But I am prob a bit of an oddity, as my collection runs around a single set of deep custom shelves that run around the entire top of my bedroom. I have decepticons and autobots on each side doing various personality/character accurate things with custom display elements, and as you get closer to the middle where each side is together it becomes a battle/war display with them in action, posed and displayed that way. Does no one else do that but me??

[@kingragnork]

Would be cool to see

[@rock2831]

Has a Deltof Tempered Glass panel ever exploded on anyone?

[@PicklerEntertainment]

Yeah its crazy... Some of the biggest collectors, even here on KZbin with their own successful channels have horrible display... They spend thousands of dollars on action figures... But, they refuse to spend any money on their display shelves or units. I never understood that... You can literally spend $25.00 to $40.00 on some very nice Floating shelves... Or less than a $100-$200 on some nice wall units. Less than most pieces they own, and they don't do it? It makes no sense.

[@trialsandtribulations7181]

Detolfs are trash. Industrial shelves are the way of the future. 1000+lb carry capacity. 24" x 48" x 72" means shelf space is no longer a concern.
