Hey all, thought I'd resurrect this thread to show a shelf-by-shelf of things in their current state.
As always, please feel free to share a critique or any recommendations; it's thanks to your feedback that it's looking so good!
So here's the whole collection in one view, and below I'll go shelf-by-shelf.
Starting top-left, this shelf is all horror films, or otherwise scary and bloody things. I opted to go highest with these items so that little kids who are visiting might not be too spooked. The Hellraiser cube is on a rotating carousel.
These are all things
Star Trek. The screen in the back is a looping video that show various computer screens and makes quiet little beeps.
Next shelf is dedicated to Ghostbusters. The two slime samples are illuminated from beneath.
Next, this shelf is dedicated to
Indiana Jones props. As we know, there are only three films.
This shelf is a little light, and is dedicated to DC films, shows, and comics. The Kryptonite box in the back is illuminated.
Finally on the left cabinet are miscellaneous items, heavy on the comedy:
The top shelf of the center cabinet is dedicated to fanciful things. The
Dark Crystal Shard and Essence Bottle are illuminated.
Next comes Spielberg adventure and some favorite sci-fi. The
Logan's Run Follower is illuminated.
Next shelf is devoted wholly to
Severance. The candle has an illuminated moving flame implanted.
And this shelf is all things Keanu:
The next shelf comprises "adult" substances and items, plus some
X-files and
Knight Rider. Lift the wallet in the back and you'll see
The Simpsons' version of Mulder's ID!
The bottom shelf of the center cabinet is miscellaneous sci-fi. The
Expanse Protomolecule mat is illuminated from underneath.
The cabinet on the right, top shelf, is 60%
Back to the Future, plus some 80s fun and a few miscellaneous items:
Next shelf at eye level is dedicated to
Star Wars:
These are all things Marvel, including MCU, Sony, Fox, and comics. Tony's Arc Reactor is illuminated, and the Orb from
Guardians of the Galaxy is on a rotating carousel.
The next shelf is devoted completely to fantasy, with
Harry Potter and
Lord of the Rings items dominating. But it also includes a couple props from novels too! The
Dragonslayer amulet is illuminated from underneath, and the Sirius Black poster is an animated photo frame.
Next one down, this shelf consists of props from
animated properties, both movies and shows. The
Moana Heart of Te Fiti and the
Arcane Hextech crystal are illuminated.
And finally on the bottom shelf, a few miscellaneous items that look better viewed from above:
