The Carded Action Figure Acrylic Case Saves Us Again


I had a bit of an accident while rearranging The Batcave Toy Room and knocked this acrylic case off a shelf. Unfortunately, it busted the bottom portion of the case into pieces. The good news is the vintage Star Wars tri-logo carded Imperial Stormtrooper (Hoth Battle Gear) was perfectly safe. The bad news is these cases aren't exactly cheap. At $14.00 a piece, I could get an action figure or two, depending on the type. Anyway, the case did it's job and protected the figure. At least I have a few spares hanging around to replace it.


In the meantime, watching shows like Toy Hunter and Collection Intervention has proved to be a huge muse to me and the toy room is really shaping up. Plus a super thanks for the inspiration from a few of my toy collecting friends. Finally, I feel satisfied. Hopefully, it will be easier for Jordan to check things out and maybe one day Eylse. By the way, Elyse can curate my toy collection any day.

    Totally looking forward to pics from the new display. I am doing the same around here. It's exciting to see all the great things I forgot that I had.

    Ouch. close call!
    Where is the best place to buy those acrylic cases. I have only looked at eBay, but there's probably a better vendor out there.

      I buy them from The Earth Toy Mall. You can check out all of their action figure display cases here http://www.theearthtoymall.com/discas.html. They are also great for getting replacement parts and boxed and loose toys as well.

    Actually a Very BIG difference between their insanity... Like you said.."The Joker goes with how he feel at that moment... " That much is true... But he has so Many different demented "persona" Inside ..he is normally an assortment of them at any given time...( I too have "fragmentation disorders") ..His truly twisted sense of humor ...and his Madness is what "drives" Him... To an extent The Joker "re-invents" his persona each day...
    Where as Harvey has an internal constant battle between his Two persona
    He uses the coin to make most All of his decisions...thus leaving things up "to Fate"....Fate may be "fickle" at times ... but "Fate" is always "fair"...
