I've recently started to get my collection out of storage. I'll show you what I have and will update it as I go along. I started with the Marvel section. Here's what it looks like so far:
The shelves I'm using (cheap $97 plus tax), got them from Costco. I know dusting will suck, but I put the shelves up on wheels to make it easier for getting around the back of them.
(My "supervisor" companion Snoop "on the job.")
I'm still working on it. Some things didn't survive moving/shipping. Some items I'm still unable to find in my storage area. My Wolverine Versus Sabretooth Artist Proof Diorama didn't make it. Only the base survived. Hulk Versus Spider-Man, Spidey & the street light didn't survive. I know I have a NECA Spidey Statue, but haven't located it. The Satana bust and Sam Keith Venom bust are up but not pictured. There is a Gambit statue that should get here on 2 August.
Tomorrow, I'll be putting up another shelf. This will be for my non-Marvel, but still comic book related statues and busts.
Sorry for some of the statues not making it. It is a pain to see those pieces get destroyed. Hopefully you kept them. You never know if that can be repaired. Goood luck finding the rest of your pieces.
Wow, very nice collection!
Major bummer that some items failed to survive the move.
Love the basset hound too, I have a couple of bassets as well!
Snoop's my handsome, little buddy.

I tossed the broken pieces, my collection is too large to keep things that can't be displayed. I'm ok with the losses since I have enough nice pieces of Spidey, Wolverine and at least one good Sabretooth.
Great collection! Do you worry with keeping your stuff on those shelves with wheels ?
Back in Black Spidey and Milestone flagpole Spidey statue are two of my grails!
Hey, are you a Leatherneck? If so, Semper Fi!
Not worried about the wheels. Not many earthquakes here. The wheels will make things easier for me to dust, and rearrange the shelves. The shelves are 18" deep.
Took me years to get the flagpole Spidey, kept getting outbid. I am unsure, but think that the BIB Spidey has an exclusive version?
I spent hours in storage today, moving boxes, opening them, take some stuff out, re-packing. I've got another shelf up, but only two Red Sonja statues on it. Have to bring in all the stuff from the garage and then set things up. Biceps and shoulders are killing me, so I'll update in a day or so. Chaos, Fewture, Elivira, Hellgate London, Dawn, 2 Cthulhus, etc... I've been working on this for about 5 days.
I can lock them. Two of the four wheels are lockable. Really, scary? No kids in the house, two adults, two dogs, no earthquakes. The shelf unit alone weighs almost 100 pounds. Then add the weight of everything on it. They aren't going anywhere unless I move then. I'm not going to be racing with them around the house.
can i ask how did they break in shipping? always take ur statues separate from the main moving truck if thats what u used ,when i moved all my statues went with me in my minivan the rest ,was in the rental treat em like a mona lisa painting ,i even had security follow me ,nah just kidding major bummer on the 2 sideshow pieces man
I don't know how they broke. I did move from Florida to Washington state, all across the country. I don't know if you've seen my collection, but it's huge, much larger than what I've posted here.

That I am. Ooh rah!
I have spent countless hours arranging/rearranging/moving etc and it seems as though I am constantly movinge stuff lol
Awesome stuff though man hope to see more pics.
I don't think the Black Spidey was an exclusive just a regular Sideshow release.

Too bad about your Hulk vs. Spiderman statue. That's one incredible piece.
It's still a great Hulk piece though. Way expensive to try to get just to replace the Spidey. Mine was not the exclusive light up version. I also didn't overspend getting it.
Better pictures of the right shelf, with the missing items shown (Santana, Keith Venom). I can't seem to get a good photo of the Zombie statue.
Below is what on my to do list. Unpack the boxes, put them on the shelves, then put the empty boxes away.
