Description: Christian has been collecting vinyl collectible toys since 2003, amassing over 800 individual pieces that are all beautifully displayed throughout his Manila home. As someone who was once bitten by the vinyl collectibles bug ourselves (we ran out of room, so I stopped), this collection is like a dream realized. What's most striking besides the sheer amount of Christian's vinyl collectibles is how tastefully they're all displayed throughout several sections of his home. Christian was kind enough to send us some photos and give us some insight about how he keeps his display looking tip-top...
On keeping his collection clean: First of all your collection must be clean so we use Swiffer to clean out the toys once a week. I always play with my display once in a while. I have designated places in the house where the toys should are displayed to avoid clutter. I also match the toys with the room color and the furnitures. Customized display cases makes toys more beautiful and organized. That's about it :)
What a wonderful collection! I love Dunnies. Do you have any smorking labbits in there somewhere? I didn't see any.

WOW That BapexAddidas poster is awesome.
I'm guessing that was a limited edition run. Where did you get that?

some serious collection you have...
The living room looks so sterile, I probably would feel uncomfortable in a place like this. But overall it is such a fun apt probably I would spend 5 minutes on each toy to analyze the details cause they look amazing, never saw anything like this, or a serious/dedicated collector like you.

There were labbit boxes in one of the rooms. Kind of expected to see a labbit stool though...maybe i missed it? Such an awesome collection, and that's a really nice solution for displaying the 3" dunnys. I used to have a line of my favs standing ontop of my cinema display....but have since changed monitors and I've been struggling to find a place to put them.

This is like the apartment of the character Steve Corell played in 40 Year Old Virgin, except more hallucinatory. I liked the toy collection OK, but what I really wanted was the kitchen, with its fire engine red refrigerator and terrific black cabinets.

Okay, AT needs to stay out of my head! I was just reading about dunnies and Kozik over the weekend and saw these pictures posted on the big dunnie forum.
Freaking me out, man...

This is great. I have all my childhood toys, and have been trying to figure out how to display them without making the rooms look too strange. I got some great ideas from this place.
