I'm always fascinated with how people's collections evolve. I feel like a lot of hardcore collectors go through similar phases and work their way up to kiosks, display cabinets, signage, etc., sometimes in lieu of additional games/consoles, or they consolidate their game collections. Not saying that's the case with you (especially as you're still working, and I'm sure your game collection is huge), but I feel like I've seen more than one person on here go that route; your room as-is, with its focus on the things I mentioned, reminds me of that. I just think it's interesting.
The Samus is actually made out of wooden blocks that were painted and glued together in a perler-like formation (thanks to a NA member), so that allows it to stand up pretty well.
Also, I enjoy kiosks, signage, figures/statues, and various artistic renders of gaming stuff more than the actual games themselves; in most situations, that is. I really don't have many games in my collection compared to some of the other collectors on here, but I do have a good amount of game-related items that aren't the actual games. I defiantly know what you're saying. I've just always felt like I'd rather invest into having large, interesting things to look at/handle rather than just boxed games that sit on the shelf.
