Collection Corner Part 2: The Lower Shelves

Last time on Collection Corner I showcased the top half of the cabinet of curious collectibles in my living room.  Today I bring you the lower shelves which sound much more sinister than they actually are.

Again I remind you that I have virtually zero photographic skill and this is just me dipping my toes into this type of blogging. So wharves (whatevs) let's get to it.

Shelf Four is the shortest shelf and thus has no really big figures and is mainly devoted to Super Sentai and Kamen Rider.

First up Juken Sentai Gekiranger Sentai Hero sofubi (soft vinyl) figures: Super GekiRed, Master Sha-Fu, Super GekiYellow, Geki Violet, Geki Blue, GekiChopper, GekiYellow, and Geki Red
Power Rangers Dino Super Charge Graphite Ranger, Power Rangers Legacy Green Ranger, SH Figuarts Akiba Yellow & Akiba Blue (from Hikonin Sentai Akibaranger Season 2), lurking in the background is Piranacon, the combined form of the Seacons from Big Bad Toy Store's Transformers G1 Commemorative Series box set
A quartet of SH Figuarts: Kamen Rider Ichigo & New Cyclone, Kamen Rider Nigo & Cyclone, Kamen Rider Amazon & Jungler, Kamen Rider Kaixa with Glowing UV Light Stage.  The wee guy is SIC Kiwami Tamashii Kamen Rider Kuuga Rising Mighty Form & BeatChaser 2000, lastly is the Rowan Ghost collect-and-connect figure from Mattel's Ghostbusters (2016) line
The next shelf holds my figures from the Transformers Robots in Disguise (2015) line. I had them all in robot mode but got bored and transformed them into vehicle mode.
Front Row: Megatronus, Starscream, Paralon, Legion Class Fix-it
Back Row: Quillfire, Steeljaw, Fracture, Thunderhoof, Grimlock

Front: Windblade
Back: Jazz, Drift, Sideswipe, Strongarm, Bumblebee, Optimus Prime
The Bottom Shelf is mostly Transformers Prime Beast Hunters figures with a trio of Transformers Generations Combiner Wars combiners. This was at an awkward angle so bear with me.
Combiners: Superion formed from the Aerialbots, Menasor made up of the Stunticons, and in the corner Defensor the amassed Protectobots.
Down front: Cyberverse Abominus, the accumulated Terrocons, Beast Hunter Soundwave, Beast Hunter Ratchet, Skystalker (blue wings), Thundertron (w/peg leg), Grimwing, Vertebreak, the barely visible beast mode head of Lazerback, Beast Hunters Starscream

Here are two bonus shelves: the top of a bookcase and an end table.

The end table holds the crew of the Lost Light from IDW's excellent "Transformers More Than Meets the Eye" series. The figures are recruited from various Transformers lines including Generations, Combiner Wars, Titans Return and a couple older figures from the Universe (2008) and Transformers (2010) lines.
Back: Brainstorm, Ultra Magnus, Whirl
Middle: Red Alert, Skids, Trailcutter
Front: Chromedome, Rewind, Swerve, Tailgate, Cyclonus

Cyclonus & Whirl again, First Aid, Ratchet, Hot Rod, and waaay in the back Nightbeat

The top of the bookcase probably gets redone most frequently out of all my display stations and currently is a fun mix of new acquisitions and some favourites.
DC Icons Green Lantern John Stewart (in his Mosaic costume), Mattel Thundercats Classics Panthro, Mumm-ra, & Lion-O, Transformers Titans Return Titan Master Loudmouth, Cyberverse Beast Hunters Twinstrike

Back: Big Blast/Graphitti Designs Hellboy, Thundercats Classics Jackalman
Front: SH Figuarts Shinkocchou Seihou Kamen Rider Kuuga Mighty Form, Kamen Rider Hibiki, Kamen Rider Agito Ground Form, Kamen Rider Decade, SH Figuarts Renewal Kamen Rider Black & Kamen Rider Black RX
Rider Close Up!


Focus on both of Kotaro Minami's rider forms

On the far right we have Ultra-Act Ultraman Taro with Brother's Mantle and Thundercats Classics Pumyra
That's all for now folks. Next time I'll try to work on framing and composition of the pictures and maybe focussing on fewer figures showing off more of their features and articulation. Thanks for exploring ISMOTU's Collection Corner and for putting up with my blogsperimentation.
