1/6 Scale Mania

hank shocked pimp
I collect Dragon WW2 figures, but this--

Just damn.

And more advanced coding damn.

Now mine are sitting in the storage locker in the basement, and I haven't been acquiring more because, frankly, there's no room for them, even when I see a sweet half-off deal on Ebay. But I can still look on in wonder and awe.

And I suppose in the storage room they will remain because Chats, due to some defect in the female brain, doesn't want a re-creation of the Army Ranger assault on Pointe-du-Hoc on our living room mantle, no matter how cool I can make the assault ladders and grapple lines look. Not even at Christmas.

I *heart* your lovely lady very much, but let me tell you something.

Our living room has a Godzilla display, a Gundm display, and a Lego Tie Fighter on the shelf above the TV. Kind of, you know, mingled with the framed photographs of loved ones, and little knicky knacks.

Sometimes you just have to get that stuff out on display and appreciate it for what it really is.

EEK left out the part where he can do whatever he damn well pleases in the family room. The living room is my dance space, and I'd prefer that no 12-inch soldiers watched me hootchie-koo. ;)

DAMN!
That is insanely cool, and if I remember correctly, also quite expensive to collect those 1/6 scale guys.
[info]replyhazy has enough trouble dealing when I set up my 1/72-ish scale stuff in the living room. And storage room? Forget it.
Sigh. Someday....

Re: DAMN!
What you have to do is strike when people are selling their collections on ebay, going out of business sales, stuff like that. Yeah, it's like $40 a figure otherwise. But the uniforms and gear are unbelievable.

I'm telling ya, man, you need to come down here and live with me and I'll send Maria up to live with Chats. It'd be a testosterone-laden party with WWII dioramas, guitars, full-sized suits of armor, wall-to-wall-to-ceiling shag carpeting, and 110" projection cinema screens of 1950's porn 24/7.

Once every couple of months we'd meet the ladies half-way for conjugal visits and to give them our paychecks. ;-)

Sounds like a plan, but the ferret-cage reek of the house might involve the Dept of Health.
