Sharing what's inside my DC Universe Cabinet

So I just recently had my Man Cave renovated and I would like to share the DC Part of my display area because of course I am a huge DC Universe fan first among all things. But I also love Marvel. But I can't say that the display area will be as huge as the space I allocated for my DC Action Figure Colllection. Now most of my collection is from the Mattel DC Universe Classics and DC Direct era. In my opinion, to this day, both of these toy lines are still the standard for DC action figure collecting. Though with McFarlane Toys' recent acquisition of the DC Direct brand, things will start to look interesting for DC Action Figure fans. Anyhow, my shelf space is divided into five layers. And each layer will have its own story and composition of the various DC Characters as seen in the comic books. This DC world building project that I started was thought of with a goal of acquiring at least one action figure representation from the comic book. So without much further introductions, let's go to the top most layer...

I call this the DC Super-Villains layer. Sorry if the others on the back can't be seen from here. I guess I need to invest on those display risers to make them look better on display. I'll probably enumerate them below...

Some of my more recent Superman collections were put back in the box because of space constraints. But you can check out some of my reviews by clicking on the link above. Hopefully I would be able to do more reviews soon.

So basically, that's all that fits my DC Display Cabinet for now. Still my favorite section of all my Display Cabinet.
