Marvin's Room
[*] Name (or nick name) – Marvin Ryan, Marv, Marvin
[*] Age – around Danny’s age. ^^ that would be 30ish
[*] How many years you have been an otaku – 13 years, but have been watching anime since I was a wee lad. Been a fan of giant robots like Mazinger Z back in the 80’s
[*] Nationality – Canadian Filipino
[*] Outline of your collection – Mostly Gundams, but have been influenced by Mr. Danny Choo into buying figures around 2005 to 2006. however I’ve been buying and collecting anime back when they were still sold as VHS and continued on when they started to release them in DVD format.
[*] How much your collection cost - hard to say, but I could probably peg it at around 20K USD.
[*] Your fave item – a tie between Figma Saber Lily and my 1/100 GFF Metal Composite blue MSZ-006A1 Zeta Plus.
[*] Your website address – http://www.marvinryan.com
[*] Anything else you want to say. – though I have to admit that I often binge on my otaku hobbies from time to time, I am a firm believer that a person should never spend above his means. I know that it’s sometimes very hard to resist the urge to buy something so special. But think of it this way, if I missed out on a limited figure or gundam even after I worked hard to be able to purchase it, there will always be something I would want more in the near future. By then I’d have enough money to buy that one plus more. ^^
a view of the whole room
shelves of gundam and figures
resin and GFF storage. ^^
a look at one of the shelves
my resin collection.
GFFs
a closer look at the GFFs
if you look closely, there are 3 picures of me, 2 of them includes my wifey. ^^
wondering if this is acceptable, or should I upload another one with me actually in it.
almost forgot to mention, the remote is for a Mac TV tuner. Interesting gadget, it allows mac users to receive cable TV signals as well as over the air digital or analog TV transmissions. it can even tune in to local FM radio transmissions. and allows Mac users to do time lapse recording. I believe Danny has been looking for one. I have to remember to do a review of that later on. ^^
very nice and cosy room! ^^
lol at tower of boxes at the side of door XD
lol! I have to remember to clean that up. ^^;;;
Huge Gundam is HUEG!! Look at the size of that PG Zeta (is it?)
Sasuga Gundamaniac! You have a pretty nice collection there! ^^
thank you Tamerchris, the Zeta is actually a jumbo grade Zeta, bigger than a PG but not really very pose-able. ^^
Hot gundam room! You decided which to use for shoot?
Is baby allowed in there?
You must be using some anti-aging cream. Your face is not blurry anymore.
I see Melissa *rubs hands* @.@
lol I took Melissa out of the top cabinet just for you. ^^ thanks FatB.
yes the baby is allowed to come in and look, but I suspect I'd have to start storing my Gundam kits before she turns 2. ^^
btw lol on the blurry comment.
This is random, but I especially like the dinosaur wearing an apron in the last pic. ^^
"Grimlock only serve drink, no food. ONLY DRINK!! *!!GROWL!!*"
*bust thru wall*
lol a masterpiece transformer grimlock, but I guess you already got it from FatB's comment. ^^;
Nice gunpla collection! It's cool!
thank you Wolheinrich. ^^
*Wolfheinrich, sorry for misspelling your name
Ryu with a Gundam head is weird ^^; LoL and I saw the Haro and thought it was a dango XD
^^;
btw might I ask what's a dango?
Love that apron wearing butler Grimlock. XD
^^ the apron, tie, tray and drinks came with the grimlock. although I do wish I had the limited one that includes a crown. ^^
Nobell Gundam~!? Is that a mod? I don't remember there being a release of a Gunpla of her...
it's a Gundam fix figuration. forgot the number but it came as a set together with the god gundam.
ooh dango plush ^_^
hope you don't mind my asking you the same question as LS, but what's a dango? ^^:
those round japanese snacks featured in Clanneds ending theme. BTW Yamada, that's a Haro not a dango
thanks Necro. ^^

Awesome room man. Love your built-ins...
thank you Alfisti
So much Gundam on it, but I liked it.
Nice enviroment, and such your wife supports you, I guess.
I'm a lucky guy. ^^
Quite a cozy gunota den you got there Marvin, I gotta go make a pilgrimage to your room if ever I go home. BTW, what's that Gundam with a ginormous cannon next to the modified Zeta?
lol let me know when you're in the neighborhood we could probably meet up. anyway the gundam is a full armored RX-78 gundam.
I love your gundam collection, I only have two HCM gundams and they're in their deactivated phase armor version
