Collector's Paradise

Check out this most handsome otaku room. Huge glass shelves = want.
Not sure about the figures bunched up together like that though - makes it difficult to appreciate the beauty of each figure.
3.33AM - me better get going back to bed again - woken up by mosquitoes ToT.

One of the best looking room a collector would like to have. Clean, comfy and room full'o shelves!!

Love the interior. The one who designed it is genius ^^

yup its a real pain. In my case since its out in the open, i have my sunday as my cleaning day for my mecha and fig collection.
On topic....
Im mesmerized just by looking at this pic.
Student & Otaku
But I wouldn't be surprised if he bought an air purifier that simply reduces or even eliminates the need for dusting

Holy crap, that's a lot of mechas. (Probably Gundams? ^^; I don't do much with anything mecha, can you tell?) Still, that glass case is very nice. I want.

Gundams look like they take up most of the top but there's quite a lot of variation, esp within the cabinet. I see a genesic GaoGaiGar, Godannar, Granzort, Guyver, scopedog (votoms), Dragonar, Armoured core and even a Daizengar&Trombe combo!!!

Actually with more anime stuff besides mecha,Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya,eroge, and other over-hyped it would be a more worthwhile collection.
Where is Fist of the North Star, Trigun, Rurouni Kenshin, and Osamu Tezuka title figures and other stuffz?

You know, usually when I look at images of figures it's really hard to get a real sense of how big it is, because there's nothing else in the image to compare it too (like maybe a soda can). I've wondered how big the FREEing bunnies were, but now that I have something to compare it to in this image. WHOA! That thing IS HUGE!

Dude I can even see rare figurines/nendroids that go for TON on the internet. From his blog I saw that rare Konata nendroid w/Saber outfit that's hard to find nowadays -.-''
It's astounding to see how he categorized a lot of his stuff. Dude I want his room -.-

Yeah I would likely sell some of the figures and shelves to those otaku maniacs out there. XP

i only have 1 question to this collector
where'd u got all of them @_@? impulse buy?
nah, figure is quite cheap if u live alone (so ronery) and work
well, u can survive for a month only with decent food (no veggies)
u can reset the diet on the other month
but considering this guy.... i want to know how his/her diet is -.-

Omg thats amazing, it looks like he owns one of the baddest shops in town or bought it out completely.
I wonder how much all of that costs...

DAYMN! I wonder how much he spent. Hahaha. And yeah same here, I dont like bunching up my models like that. No action poses!
Ninja / Engineer / Sensei / 魔法少女 (What!?! I can't be, I'm a guy...)
I'm sure he could have bought something really nice and expensive (i.e. car) instead with all that money, considering how many he has. But I'm sure he has enough money that he can do both if and when he wants.
Seeing red!!!
That like tens of thousands of dollor worth! but I like to keep it small in amout...

I mean, if you got your figures near, where you can apreciate them, or just, well, enjoy of her beauty or something. In that shelves and in that many quantity of figures, I think the magic of collect is lost.

Awesome for the Gundam fan... I'm not, but I loved the non-mecha figures.
Also, what Danny said. I think it's too crowded.
The room is very nice and neat, but I think to have a really great display, he'd have to have another glass shelf just like that... XD
http://quentinlau.blogspot.com
That reminds me of a local toy shop of mixed toys e.g. gashapon and shokugan, as well as some figures, cars, and gunplas. It has these glass shelves on all walls and in the middle of the shop. If it is to be bigger and brighter it can be a showroom by now.
Day Dream Project
Wow!!! That's like the haul for our entire life!
I suggest the owner to change a new bigger shelves... I think he removes the long barrel from that poor Dendrobium...
It's nice that his figures have a place all to themselves but in my opinion it looks really cluttered. Something like that looks like it should be in a store, not so much a personal collection. The only collections that look proper in mass on a shelf to me are books, dvds and cds.
One thing I do not care for would be the different scale sizes of figures in such a close proximity to each other. I can be pretty ADD and even when I was 4, my Ninja Turtles did not interact with GI Joes because of the size difference. That's one thing that really ticked me off about Transformers toys especially when they were in vehicle mode and the sizes were all off.
I thought the same thing as far as the clutter goes, but if you take a look at the link, you'll see other cases that aren't nearly as crowded.Those look very nice.
Very beautiful... but man, can't imagine all the dust that would collect at the top and cover those gundams. I wouldn't have the time to wipe or spray down EVERYONE of those... hahaha... what a ridiculous collection. Heh.

That's a really sweet bachelor's pad. Sure the glass case is special, but whats even more amazing is that he owns a 360... a relative rarity in Japan. =O

I'd prefer to have a carefully selected and well painted little bunch of gundams than a mountain of them like this. You can't appreciate them if they are all cluttered.
All that aside, he should have selected a single room to display stuff and leave the living room as a neutral space; but that's just me.
How old is he and how much money does he makes to have that kind of furniture and merchandise (unless he has an average salary and just spends minimum on food and social meetings)
Ninja / Engineer / Sensei / 魔法少女 (What!?! I can't be, I'm a guy...)
I'm sure we all agree on this: He doesn't have a girlfriend. It definitely costs something to have a relationship. He wouldn't be able to buy as much as he does if he were not single.
wow that's a lot of toys, wonder what happens if he decides to play with one of his toys.

Noob, just a friendly suggestion, you might want to ease up on the Caps Lock. some might feel it as being a bit impolite. like shouting. I know it just might be the fact that you want to emphasize some of the words, but you might try to just capitalize the first letter of those words instead.

I've seen rich Japanese otaku before, but nothing like this. Just amazing. One of the Japanorama episodes showes a really rich youth cloaths designer or something like that. He has several apartments packed with his collection, but everything is setup more like a meuseum, and like one big area glass shelf will have like one figure in it. So when you don't have enough room at your apartment in Japan, just buy more.

I see that he has a nice set-up, as well as an impressive collection of figures. Because I see one section for anime series-based characters, giant robot series (could be anime and/or video game based), Final Fantasy figures (even though they are from Advent Children), and Tokusatsu (Or, at least, I think I see that).
But I have to agree with Danny. The set up feels too cluttered in some spots. Plus, I also feel the layout makes the whole thing feel unbalanced as well. I do see how he set it up, but one part did not have the same level of appeal as others. (But that is me.)
Anything I want to be
I doubt that many people can beat this room.... I know otaku's but damn this room is freaken well built and great collection I wonder how it was worth and how much he put his time into collecting..... I wonder if he can get a nice car like BMW M3 if he sold hehehe

when you display a whole bunch of figures like that
it looks like a garage sale gone bad
you need to 'rotate' your best pieces in and out of the case every so often
that also makes it fun since you get a 'hands on' feel to what you are collecting
displaying numerous sets of gashapon has become a problem for me, so now I only show a few nicer ones

Student
http://yakisobacup.wordpress.com
He should sell or hide those he like less and display only the ones he likes more. Excessive figures will draw attention from the individual appeal of each figure. Furthermore, it looks like just a mass of plastics. Not exactly a collector's paradise to me.
Student & Otaku
True, but if she check the link from danny's post, you'll see that even in the hallway it would seem he tried to space it out as much as he can and as well as having to categorize the majority of it. I bet that took a ton of time to do (plus reorganization)

That is quite a collection of Gundams. Almost everyone made I bet.
