Finally, the X-Men and their Villains. I like the fact that the founding members are up front, but sad that Hank can't join them (hate Kitty Beast). You'll also note that The White Queen is not among the heroes but with the villains, as she should be. I think the Sentinel looks totally menacing standing behind the heroes, with the New X-Men off to one side and later X-Men (and Polaris) to the other.

Really nice looking bookshelves Matt.
I can't wait to see the entire MattCave once you hang everything up.

Matt, I like the display and the arrangement, but I can't help but wonder if using extra shelves, preferably made of glass, thus taking advantage of the whole height of each box would work for you better. Let me demonstrate what I have in mind:
You could even go as far as using glass doors to avoid dust.

Not a bad idea. Thanks for the suggestion. My thought is that I don't want to do anything permanent to these shelves. At the rate my collection is growing, it's possible that they'll outgrow their space at which point I'll pony up the money for a glass display case. I also know that my TPB collection will eventually need the space these guys are taking up.
What I really like about elevation rather than shelves is that you can see the figurines. Not too many are in front of one another. You can see the entire Sinister Six, for example, whereas how I had them at the old MattCave they were always in front of one another. I think however I display them, they'll always have varying display heights rather than just shelves. Discovering that the boxes they come in (which came in handy for the move!) are the perfect height and color for the display was a bonus. Whatever you guys do, don't throw away your boxes!

Updated blog:
I like it a lot! I've been waiting a while to see this one and I'm not disappointed. I didn't think they'd be able to show the chain mail as anything more than they did here. Those small links would be borderline microscopic at this scale, so the smoother texture should be just fine.

I really wish Eaglemoss would get off this kick of releasing publicity pics of
what are clearly not the actual figures -- or, at least, if they are they are
Photoshopped within an inch of their lives.

Saw a picture of the Hobgoblin figure--he looks bad. The hood is all wrong. Still, he's the Hobgoblin, so I'll grab him.

Kind of boring pose, but it's the version I like. I'll probably replace the sword with a gun or something, I'll have to cruise through the Stern siege issues for something appropriate (always a pleasure anyway).
Thanks to Mr P on the figurine forum for the pic!
