Happy New Year and welcome to Shelf Porn, our weekly glance into one fan's collection. Today's shelves come from Jason in California, who shows us his sharply designed shelves of action figures and Wonder Woman stuff.
If you'd like to see your collection featured here on Robot 6, you can find complete details at the end of this post.
And now here's Jason ...

My name is Jason. My Facebook page is facebook.com/hggns76.
I know my collection is not as huge as some but I am proud of it and the way it is displayed. I have been collecting different things for a few years now. My collection always changed and always seemed messy. So I made some adjustments. Right now my main focus is the DC Collectibles figures as well as the Kotobukiya ArtFX+ statues. I am a huge Wonder Woman fan and used to own a lot more but I scaled down things because it was getting out of hand. I am still missing a couple of DC Collectibles figures (Captain Boomerang and Deadshot from the Suicide Squad series) but I pretty much have everyone else. I have multiples of Superman, Batman and Wonder Woman. A couple of them are repaints I had a great friend do and the others are variants that were offered in different sets. Right now I am big into having my friend repaint Wonder Woman into different color schemes. I have one of her where she was painted in metallic colors and another where the silver was painted gold. I am currently having him repaint one to reflect the Super Powers figures line release. Next I think I am going to have him paint one to look like Goddess of Peace Wonder Woman from her new Sensation Comics series.
I also have a number of plush Wonder Woman items. This is my guilty pleasure. For some reason I get a kick out of them. So this is constantly growing. And the Kotobukiya ArtFX+ line is so well done. My most recent addition is Bob Kane Batman from SDCC. Hoping to get my hands on NYCC Nightwing, with the blue paint. Really don't want to miss out on him. Finally I have some small 4x4 canvas paintings I had a friend due for me a couple of years back.
I am extremely proud of how my figures are displayed. I came up with a Wonder Woman themed shelf area. I bought 3 high gloss red shelves from IKEA and that was my jumping off point. I then painted a section of the wall a glossy blue to match her outfit. I found some white star stickers and bought some white pearlescent paint and went over the start with it, so they stood out more. I then purchase pinstriping used for cars. I bought red and a glittery gold. The pinstriping outlines the blue and the gold pinstriping is also in the center of each shelf front. I could not be happier with how it turned out and like know that this is a one of a kind. Like I said, my collection may no be huge but I love how it is displayed.
