Nomad has that Zeck vibe to it.

What happened to my Sunday afternoon…

Gained SOME space, and the figures are still pretty viewable (more than they
were three deep in the wood+plastic case, anyway), but it won't be long
before I run out of room again.

What a pity that Cyclops isn't the classic version! But it'll be sweet when you get a real Marvel Girl in the X-Men front row. No non-hirsute Beast, is there?

I can't bring myself to do that! The principle way in which I justify the
ridiculous amount of money I spend on stuff like this (up to and including
life-sized statues!) is that I can put out my hand and touch virtually
every penny spent.

A lot of the stuff I've had to box up has eventually ended on eBay.  I'm holding on to some of it, though, for the day I get to start kicking all those meddling kids out of my house.  Space will clear up pretty quick in a few years.

I call it "The Smile Factor". I walk past the life-sized Robbie the Robot
replica in my center hall, and I don't think about what it cost (tho others
do!) -- I just smile!

I tend to rotate through my toy collections, packing most of them away while displaying another chunk of them. Every 3-4 months I change up the display. Just recently I put up all of my 5-inch Spider-Man action figures from the '90s animated show.

Alas, no. I had to have the right version of the blue Beast custom made, in
fact!

Now you've got me wondering. Which extant figure, Marvel or DC, would
customize well into a pre-furry Hank?

Venom has been one popular choice for that over on the figurine forum.
