I get the idea of white displays but the black just looks way cooler imo. If you add some lighting to the shelves it helps a lot but also those tiered acrylic stands dan uses are great for it as well.
I want my bedroom just like Pixel Dan.. Love the purple walls which I want to get and want to get similar curtains ... I got quite a bit to display. I can then put my MOTU and Thundercats display up on shelving. I dont' have any glass cases yet.
Hi guys< from Uzbekistan, Tashkent- all you’re showing me is a new one, a big dream to have, too, collections of figures I like!! I’m here for the first time, on your channel I watched some videos about the collection and the search for new figurines, sorry for such, the question, if you might find it inappropriate, let me know! My question is, what do you do to keep your collections intact? and the second question along with the third, I think you should ask: how do you deal with dust? and aren’t you afraid of earthquakes and figurines can break and fall, how to be? these, questions for me are important and torment, not the first day!!
I’m so grateful there are collections like this out there. These toys are responsible for so many precious memories and contributed to the development of countless children worldwide and deserve the reverence and respect of preservation and display.
The classics line is still extraordinary because of the materials used and the attention to detail. Much like the neca turtles, even if the architecture of the basic bodies construction is outdated the look and feel of the line is pure quality 👌
I envy you that you had the opportunity to meet Dan and see his collection. It must have been an amazing experience! Lucky you! :) For me, as a collector living in the Czech Republic, it is even more difficult to get to the USA. It really costs a lot of money. But my girlfriend and I are considering a trip to some foreign event in the future where we could meet with you, if that would be possible. I watching your's and Pixel Dan channel for many years now. And thanks to you guys, I learned a lot of interesting things from the world of action figures and retro toys. I think it would be awesome see you in real life :).
Hey! I live in Kane County! I won't be able to make it to the toy show, though. Anyway, my toy room is also my bedroom. I haven't had a woman in my bed in years. 😋
Its excellent to see Dan's collection. What you discussed about the white shelving is exactly what we're discussing for our rooms 😊 Love the MOTU toys in Dan's room. Thanks for this Ed ❤
Amazing collection! And so knowledgeable! I'm just happy there are such complete collections out there. Mine are all in a box, none are displayed. I simply don't have the space. I need to build an addition to my home!
PD is most definitely the OG MOTU collector I was watching him when he was with devall if I spelled that right and the other two guys And i agree the white shelves seems to brighten up the dark spots I would most definitely go for the White shelves
Ed... meets... Dan... the mind boggles! 😁 Dan, if you tape or glue a layer of kitchen foil on the underside of a shelf it'll reflect light on the items directly below (depending on lighting conditions in the room).
Oh dude I love tmnt! 😁 I wish we had had more time. We didn’t get to talk about the vintage motu enough for sure. But then again I’m hoping he does a more in depth collection tour on his channel 🤓🤘
hi! awesome collection! Do you remember, it was a toy truck in the 90s, pritty big on a big wheels with paws in em? May be you know the name of that truck? Trying to find it. I think paws was retractable
Yeah dude would have loved to bring my studio lights in but they were in belgium. Im hoping he does a long toyroom tour and brings in some lights. This was more of a walk and talk but it’s fun to see a glimpse of what he has there 🤓
Dan's collection is impressive. But am a bit disapointed that he did not display his Icon Heroes Castle Grayskull and Snake Mountain. The Best MOTU stuff ever
Hey cool, a video where there is no voice over, just people talking in a room about toys, just a nice natural chat about toys and collections, with out empty chatter over footage filmed a week before gone through editing where all the heart has been seaped out of the video, nice to see these once in a while again........... DAN!
I like the voice over videos 😁 but yeah if I was able to toy hunt with dan or my buddies every week I wouldn’t need to do it cuz the banter would keep it going.
@@EdsRetroGeekOut A lot of people do it seems xD i loved the store browsing, it was almost as if you were part of the group hunting for toys. the editing and the studio V.O ripps your right out of that mindset, at least with me. probably the only one :p
I agree with Dan, I have black shelfs with concrete looking wall behind in my cave 😁. Have to have alot of lighting, but it looks so cool with the black.
@@EdsRetroGeekOut haha, good I'm glad, because hitching back to Europe might take a while, lol. Great videos, me and my friends are big fans of yours and other Toy Hunting guys.
I noticed Dan's room was very dark with black curtains shut etc, it could have been night when you visited but assume he keeps it dark to keep room cooler and protect against sunlight UV damage / excessive heat?.
I think Dan could place white panels behind the shelves and still keep his bookcases black. That would let reflected light bounce off the figures for added illumination. Try that before a complete switch out. Just my opinion in hopes of shedding some light on this subject ( yes, pun intended!)
@Ed's Retro Geek Out You're welcome. Another possibility would be to get a button light(s), LED, battery type with adhesive mounts. Stick one under each shelf shining down over the collections. But, I see you guys are very good with creative lighting. I'm sure you've all tried various lighting techniques. When I was in art school we were told Presentation Is Everything. I think it was the best advice I received and it's helped me to sell my work over the years. Best wishes to all.
@@malcolmharing3744 Those battery lights make sense in some scenarios but there is no substitute for proper powered LED lighting, id soon get cheesed off replacing batteries and turning them on / off manually every time i wanted to view my collection for 10mins.
@SecretOfMonkeyIsland That totally makes sense. Sometimes it's not possible to hard wire lighting so the battery option is a possible alternative. The most important point is building a collection that is worthy of a decent display 👏 kudos to all collectors out there".!
It was awesome having you, dude! Thanks for makin the toy room look good in your vid! 🙌
You have an amazing collection!
Your toy room looks good in any vid. 😃
Pixel Dan is SUCH a class act! Love you, Dan!!
:O omg... already 6 years ago when you moved in that house. It feels like a year ago when you brought that news haha.
Lovely room!
Dan's he-man collection is incredible. Does he have an original savage / wonderbread he-man?
Donny's armor is a chimera. A winged Lion with a snake for a tail
Awesome i need me some more of those

Living in Belgium I knew this was gonna be the only time i’d be there so had to get some footage 🤓
I was in Chicago but couldn’t make the show as I was performing ahhhhh
It was a good ine tough 😁
Hey! I live in Kane County!
I won't be able to make it to the toy show, though.
Anyway, my toy room is also my bedroom. I haven't had a woman in my bed in years. 😋
Toy show was a couple weeks ago 🤣
@@EdsRetroGeekOut like I said, I won't be able to make it to the toy show. 😄😆🤣
I dragged my wife kicking and screaming into the toy collecting world.
I never knew about those Mario trophy things, I just looked them up online, I want the punch out ones more though!!!
Its excellent to see Dan's collection. What you discussed about the white shelving is exactly what we're discussing for our rooms 😊 Love the MOTU toys in Dan's room. Thanks for this Ed ❤
Thanks buddy 😁
Must be a nightmare to have to dust all stuff off🤣🤣
Yet, you’re constantly changing around things so you just dust when that happens 🤓
those are the types of rooms so many of us dream of having! Glad you got to check it out.
Got some great ideas on how to display my bigger figures here. It’s always fun to see other collections 🤓
More awesome Attic Invaders video. Pixel Dan has a awesome collection
Impresionante esos heman vintage wonder !!!
Next time you talk to Danny, ask him why one of the major reasons he started putting the high end stuff behind glass. All signs point to me, lol! ;)
Okay 😁
I need to visit Dan's toy room...and take his toys. Gimme.
🤣🤣🤣 oh yes!
You can try! 😅
very nice collection im getting all my he-man figures i lost when i was a kid i got 30 so far and just picked up kobra khan and zodac
Epic!
Amazing collection! And so knowledgeable! I'm just happy there are such complete collections out there. Mine are all in a box, none are displayed. I simply don't have the space. I need to build an addition to my home!

Ed... meets... Dan... the mind boggles! 😁
Dan, if you tape or glue a layer of kitchen foil on the underside of a shelf it'll reflect light on the items directly below (depending on lighting conditions in the room).
This sounds freaking interesting what does it look like tough?
@@EdsRetroGeekOut Unfortunately not very good, it only works as well as having a white shelf, for a real lighting solution you'd need LEDs.
Moveable joints look ugly.
Statues is where its at for you perhaps
I hope he insured this collection.
Pfew, I'm so glad I haven't that OCD anymore.
It gets maniac quite quick 🥳
Surprise you didn’t go in to more , Dan is known more for he man, why where you wasting time talking about tmnt?
Oh dude I love tmnt! 😁 I wish we had had more time. We didn’t get to talk about the vintage motu enough for sure. But then again I’m hoping he does a more in depth collection tour on his channel 🤓🤘
I don’t understand why people open the toys if they are collecting them. I never take mine out of the box.
You don’t need to, just enjoy the toys the way you like to collect em 😁🙌
Such a cool collection! 🤟
It really is!
hi! awesome collection! Do you remember, it was a toy truck in the 90s, pritty big on a big wheels with paws in em? May be you know the name of that truck? Trying to find it. I think paws was retractable
Its not the thundertank?
@@EdsRetroGeekOut nope, it was a truck like f350, and retractable paws in the wheels, like 3 or 4 paws in each wheel. But thanks anyway
Your cannel is incredible congrats to be with one of the best in the collectionism i love all your work Thanks
Thanks for watching 🤓
A dream come true
Agreed buddy this was a great experience 🤓
Pixel Dan's collection is too good for such mid lighting.
Yeah dude would have loved to bring my studio lights in but they were in belgium. Im hoping he does a long toyroom tour and brings in some lights. This was more of a walk and talk but it’s fun to see a glimpse of what he has there 🤓
One of the best collectors collabs I've seen!
Great video Ed!
nice video man and holy crap, you did a pixel-dan toy room tour frickin heck
Thanks buddy
Keep up the amazing videos Ed! Day 1 Fan
Thanks buddy
Pixel Dan is my spirit animal! What an awesome collection - great line of questions too Ed, fantastic way to see and hear about Dan's collection!
Thanks so much 🤓
Dan's collection is impressive. But am a bit disapointed that he did not display his Icon Heroes Castle Grayskull and Snake Mountain. The Best MOTU stuff ever
They might be in his studio where he records the videos there’s a ton of toys there too 🤓

WOW!

Loved this video!!!! Love seeing room tour's and collections. And the Motu classics line i love. I have the classics Scareglow love it! 😉👍🤩👍👍👍

Do you ever get bored and start playing with them bad ass action figures and toys? I know I would for sure.
Is purple Dan's favorite color? If so...awesome!
....which he answered in the video. Didn't think he would! Great!
Skeletor looks great in purple 😁
Great video! Its awesome to see all the passion and excitement that Dan puts in his explanations.
Awesome video! Really cool seeing a crossover between you guys.
Thank you 🤓
