Default Citizen Alpha's Mini Marvel Museum

After nearly two years of peeking into everyone else's collection rooms I figured it was about time to share mine. I really wanted to put this in the Bowen display section since I think I only have maybe 8 or 10 pieces out of over 250 or so that are not Bowen, but rules are rules. I'll be creating a separate thread for my customs once I have them all painted.

The following pictures are of what formerly served as my home office. Now it's just a place to kick my feet up, watch movies and bask in the goodness that is Marvel Comics. I'm still working on getting all the doors on my book cases...got a stack sitting in my garage...

It should be noted that this whole thing started by seeing a FS Thing statue behind Stan Lee during an interview. Went down to the LCS and decided I would only pick up Avengers MB. Started with Quicksilver (blue), then safari jacket Wonder Man. After quickly amassing about a dozen Avengers I decided I need their villains too. The rest is history...





















RIP, Kirk (aka Ace). You will be missed, brother.

Using a point and click camera. Major rookie on the picture taking front. Had to take pictures of prints at an angle to prevent glare from the flash.

Still have a ton of prints/lithos, but unfortunately ran out of wall...

I have a Stingray bust somewhere. I just need to dig through my Bowen boxes so I can stick him in here with these guys.


Somehow, someway I'm getting a Texas Twister MB in 2012 to go with these guys!!!

Yep - one of his horns broke off. In fact, he came with only one. I've sculpted a second horn, but keep forgetting to attach it.

So I get this far in and I finally figure out that I can resize all my uploaded images at one time...

You'll notice that there are fewer comics in these displays. I have some designated, I just haven't gotten around to digging them out. I'm sure some of you hardcore X-Men fans can guess which covers I have in mind. Unfortunately my mutants get the short end of the stick when it comes to getting the love. They'll get their glass doors soon though...just have to haul them upstairs.






This pairing bothers me to no end. I really have to track down a classic Cyclops this year.

Reserved for my Hanna Barbera FS display. Already have Blue Falcon and Birdman in hand. Thought I had Space Ghost coming for Christmas, but the deal fell through.

this is so cool! I love your display.....

I bet you cannot wait to get your bust of Mocking Bird to finish off your West Coast Avengers line up! My is waiting for me at the LCS....

What are those two items that you have with the villians and heroes that is a tribute to Mt. Rushmore.... ?!?!?! Those are sweet!

Again, love your display! I also was only going ot do Avengers, but then it quickly turned to add in the X-Men... Then it added GI Joe, then Star Wars....

very very cool Alpha!!!! I am in awe....

Beautiful collection, nicely displayed. I had a feeling you were sitting on one heck of a collection. Thanks for finally giving us a peek.

You were closer than you know. It's called Mount Marvel: Heroes & Villains Bookends. I picked it up dirt cheap because it had a small color chip. $50 shipped if I remember correctly. Not sure what the original retail was on it, but it was sold by Diamond Select Toys (edition size of 1000).
