Sideshow Featured Collector: James Udenberg

Since the majority of my collection is film based, I’ve decorated my home cinema with my decade’s worth of collection. Even though I collect all scales of figures, about five years ago I discovered Hot Toys which has taken over most of my collection time and money.

I see most collectors using glass displays for their collections. I like to have a more connected personal approach, so I use only open shelving. I feel that the pieces can be appreciated and enjoyed more this way. When people first see the collection they really don’t know how to react. It’s fun.

His Favorites
My 1/6 scale collection is by far my favorite. The growing Marvel line and the upcoming DC Comics figures are my current focus, but since I grew up in the 70’s and 80’s, the occasional classic character are lots of fun to include in the lineup.

His Wishlist
I continue to look forward to the newest in the Marvel line. There are a lot of classic characters that I hope will one day be created in 1/6 scale.
