    Default standee collectors

    how many people here look for standees to display. im working a deal to trade off my zelda one but how many do collect and display standees? i might be taking the HALO2. just wondering ,( i personally like the small displays one can put on their table . not the really big ones. ).

    I have a small Mega Man Network Transmission standee. Always wanted a big one though I have no idea where in my room I'd put it.

    I have a few of the large ones but I don't have the room to display more than one (I've got the Vice City standee in my game room). The oldest one I have is from the original Donkey Kong Country, it's a huge DK standee.

    I've got dozens and dozens of the countertop-style ones. So many that I've started giving them away. Some of my favorites: the original HALO, Final Fantasy Crystal (in that motorized spinny thing), the GBA NES Classics with the sound button, and the F-Zero GC version with the flashing runway lights.

    I really like standee's and promo things, the ideal "decorative" for your game room..

    I have an big oversized ninja gaiden box, a big nes classics cube and a viewtiful joe counter-display.

    I also collect standees to a certain degree. The oldest ones I have are Blasto and Parasite Eve, both tall floor stands that are stored away. I've also got the 'Jill' portion of the massive Resident Evil 3 one that resides behind my desk. More recently, I have the following: Gran Turismo 3 (stored), Oni (displayed), Mega Man Network Transmission (stored), Resident Evil Dead Aim (stored), Sonic Heroes (displayed), Enter The Matrix (displayed) and Tekken 4 (displayed). I also have the Pac Man portion of the Pac Man World 2 standee; he hangs on the wall above my TV and winks at everyone.

    As far as counter cards go, I have: Legend of Dragoon, Gran Turismo 2, Cool Boarders 3, Chu Chu Rocket!, Mario vs. Donkey Kong, F-Zero GX, GBA NES Classics w/ sound, Xbox Music Mixer coaster dispenser (with coasters!) and Grabbed by the Ghoulies.

    Don't even get me started on posters. Yeesh.

    Yeah, I have a few too. I snag em whenever I see em. I had the Resident Evil 2 standee...but I sold it cheap a while back (stupid!)

    I currently have:

    Tron 2.0
    Metroid Prime (the BIG one)
    Donkey Konga (for trade)

    I might have a few others too...but I'm not sure what I have back in Oregon.

    and mini-standees:

    Siren (for trade)
    Wild Arms 3
    Culdcept (complete store retail display package)
    Final Fantasy VII (yes really....it's a 3D one with Cloud on it)

    and oversized display boxes:
    FF Tactics Advance
    Arc the Lad: Twilight of the Spirits
    F-Zero GX
    Golden Sun: The Lost Age
    Star Ocean: Till the End of Time
    Crimson Sea 2

    Got a few others too...all stashed away and I don't remember what tho.


    Also have a few other items like that:
    Cardboard Resident Evil 2 cutouts of the characters and enemies (have adhesive backings, unused)
    FFVII original promo poster (not mint, the 2 sided one with the cover on it)


    Currently looking for the following counter standees:

    Clock Tower 3
    PS1 RPG and Atlus counter standees
    Dynasty Warriors (anything...standees, posters, etc)

    This is the only one I have, but it's still the nicest one I've ever seen.

    , I can see it just fine. Anyways, it's the standee for Legend Of Zelda: Wind Waker. Unfortunately it's stashed away now because I have no room. My record collection took it's place.

    I have a Red Dead Revolver standee - it's not in the best shape in the world after travelling nearly 900 miles to ECGX and back.

    I mostly collect posters though:

    Contra: Shattered Soldier (Japanese)
    Super Mario Sunshine (Japanese)
    Silent Hill 4 (Japanese)
    Viewtiful Joe
    Metroid Zero Mission

    etc.

    Posters don't take up floor space, so that makes me happy.
