Here is less than half of my Zelda collection up to 2006. Instead of uploading picture by picture, I just decided to put everything together and take one big picture. :) I recommend looking at the full size if you want to look at the smaller objects.
The older games and merchandise (up to the Wind Waker) are still back home in Spain, so I will continue to take pictures everytime I go. :) In any case, I would recommend looking at the rest of my collection album here for stuff that is not shown here... it just would not fit in the picture. :)
Since this picture is a few years old, I have quite a few new things from the new games. I will try to take pictures and upload them little by little. :)
Enjoy!
First off, sorry for the slightly blurry photo, my camera wasn't agreeing with me. :/ So, I've been really lucky in 2013 being able to get all these lovely ladies, especially the frozen girls, which I wasn't able to get when they were first released since I wasn't in town or near any internet, so my friend [http://www.flickr.com/photos/98001722@N05/] was able to find them for me! I was also lucky enough to be able to get coronation Elsa and snow gear Anna last night, along with the DVD. I do plan on getting Tiana, Belle, and Snow White to complete the princess collection, then Alice and Sergeant Calhoun along the way. I might also get the Princes, but probably not the villains.
Update of my increasingly cramped corner of space that I have to keep all my dolls and bits and bobs. One of the perils of living at my parents house.

People collect all kinds of things, I like to collect things from nature. Fresh flowers and plants are wonderful but I find a lot of beauty in decaying plants, the structure and colors are so different and amazing.

"In Being and Nothingness Sartre describes the situation of a walker confronted with an overhanging cliff face. ‘For the simple traveller,’ he writes, ‘who passes over this road and whose free project is a pure aesthetic ordering of the landscape, the crag is not revealed either as scalable or not scalable; it is manifested only as beautiful or ugly.’ If I am simply on a walk, the rock face is an obstacle; if I am a painter, it is not. But the absurd – the psychoanalytic – possibility that Sartre does not consider is that I may realize I am on a walk only when I perceive the cliff as an obstacle. That is to say, the only way to discover your projects is to notice – to make conscious – what you reckon are obstacles."
- Adam Phillips, On Kissing, Tickling, and Being Bored: Psychoanalytic Essays (1993)

I planned on doing separate pictures of each collections as I have a few Liv from different collections, but guess what ? Not enough sun, so I have to wait, but I at least took a quick pic of my collection for now :p
I'm waiting one more, who's supposed to arrive quite soon, it's an Alexis and I think it's the one with the Puppy normally but of course she's gonna come without the puppy XD
I'm really happy to slowly add more dolls to my collection, those girls were so awesome and I just don't understand with Spin Master decided to discontinue them... Maybe cause of the problem they got when they changed their bodies... But it's normal, the Livs are known for their amazing and super great articulated bodies, who are you to change that... Oh, yeah, right, their creators...
Anyways, Making Waves, Puppies, It's My Nature, School's Out... More pics to come :p
Inari Ōkami (稲荷大神, also Oinari) is the Japanese kami of foxes, of fertility, rice, tea and sake, of agriculture and industry, of general prosperity and worldly success, and one of the principal kami of Shinto. In earlier Japan, Inari was also the patron of swordsmiths and merchants. Represented as male, female, or androgynous, Inari is sometimes seen as a collective of three or five individual kami. Inari appears to have been worshipped since the founding of a shrine at Inari Mountain in 711 AD, although some scholars believe that worship started in the late 5th century.
Worship of Inari spread across Japan in the Edo period, and by the 16th century Inari had become the patron of blacksmiths and the protector of warriors. Inari is a popular figure in both Shinto and Buddhist beliefs in Japan. More than one-third (32,000) of the Shinto shrines in Japan are dedicated to Inari. Modern corporations, such as cosmetic company Shiseido, continue to revere Inari as a patron kami, with shrines atop their corporate headquarters.[1]
Inari's foxes, or kitsune, are pure white and act as their messengers

The #FlickrFriday #Collect challenge
Some of my dear wife's wooden thimble collection displayed on an antique Singer Sewing Machine.
This is a focus stacked 6 image macro using a 12mm extension tube. Processing included adding grain and a vignette.
the collection as of december '07
not shown: the camera that took the picture - nikon d40
or the digital camera on the macbook or in the cell phone.
brings the tally to something around 56 cameras.
most cameras seen here were thrifted. the majority cost $1 or less.
in cases. and the ones i use are on a shelf.
i don't want to pay for film any more. i don't want to buy $7 batteries to use in cameras that cost $1 a shot.
i know i can get film for all of the cameras [except the polaroid roll film, that's the only one dead. the sx-70 pack can be modified, etc]
if i happen to find polaroid 600 film for a quarter a pack, then hell ya.
in the mean time, i'm goin digital and stockpiling film cameras for fun.
Des formes qu’on aperçoit souvent en survolant notre planète : on dirait une collection de vinyles géants… ou une invasion de Pacman 😨 Il s’agit de champs agricoles irrigués, au milieu de zones très arides. Ils utilisent de l'eau fossile pompée à des kilomètres sous la surface, qui est ensuite répandue sur les cultures à partir du centre, à l’aide d’un grand bras qui décrit un cercle. Dans les régions où l'eau douce est rare, c'est une façon faire pousser sa nourriture... Pas d’eau, pas de vie !!! L’emplacement de ces zones peut sembler aléatoire, mais ils suivent les nappes souterraines.
A sight we see often while flying over our planet: peas in the desert, a Pacman invasion, or Earth's record collection? The shapes are of course agriculture, using fossil water pumped up from km below the surface and spread to the crops from the centre in a circular formation. In areas where fresh water is scarce this is one way of growing food, that like all life relies on water to flourish. Their location might seem random, but they follow the underground reservoirs.

The Rijksmuseum (Dutch pronunciation: [ËrÉi̯ksmyËzeËjÊm]; English: State Museum) is a Netherlands national museum dedicated to arts and history in Amsterdam. The museum is located at the Museum Square in the borough Amsterdam South, close to the Van Gogh Museum, the Stedelijk Museum Amsterdam, and the Concertgebouw.
The Rijksmuseum was founded in The Hague in 1800 and moved to Amsterdam in 1808, where it was first located in the Royal Palace and later in the Trippenhuis. The current main building was designed by Pierre Cuypers and first opened its doors in 1885. On 13 April 2013, after a ten-year renovation which cost ⬠375 million, the main building was reopened by Queen Beatrix. In 2013 and 2014, it was the most visited museum in the Netherlands with record numbers of 2.2 million and 2.45 million visitors.
The museum has on display 8,000 objects of art and history, from their total collection of 1 million objects from the years 1200â2000, among which are some masterpieces by Rembrandt, Frans Hals, and Johannes Vermeer. The museum also has a small Asian collection which is on display in the Asian pavilion.
Building
The building of the Rijksmuseum was designed by Pierre Cuypers and opened in 1885. It consists of two squares with an atrium in each centre. In the central axis is a tunnel with the entrances at ground level and the Gallery of Honour at the first floor. The building also contains a library. The fragment building, branded Philips wing, contains building fragments that show the history of architecture in the Netherlands. The Rijksmuseum is a rijksmonument (national heritage site) since 1970 and was listed in the Top 100 Dutch heritage sites in 1990. The Asian pavilion was designed by Cruz y Ortiz and opened in 2013.
History
21st century
The atrium after the renovation in 2013
In December 2003, the main building of the museum closed for a major renovation. During this renovation, about 400 objects from the collection were on display in the 'fragment building', including Rembrandt's The Night Watch and other 17th-century masterpieces.
The restoration and renovation of the Rijksmuseum are based on a design by Spanish architects Antonio Cruz and Antonio Ortiz. Many of the old interior decorations were restored and the floors in the courtyards were removed. The renovation would have initially taken five years, but was delayed and eventually took almost ten years to complete. The renovation cost ⬠375 million.
The reconstruction of the building was completed on 16 July 2012. In March 2013 the museum's main pieces of art were moved back from the 'fragment building' (Philips Wing) to the main building. The Night Watch returned to the Night Watch Room, at the end of the Hall of Fame. On 13 April 2013, the main building was reopened by Queen Beatrix. On 1 November 2014 the Philips Wing reopened with the exhibition Modern Times: Photography in the 20th Century.
According to Muriel Huisman, Project Architect for the Rijksmuseum's renovation, "Cruz y Ortiz always like to look for a synergy between old and new, and we try not to explain things with our architecture.â With the Rijks, âthereâs no cut between old and new; weâve tried to merge it. We did this by looking for materials that were true to the original building, resulting in a kind of silent architecture."
Collection

The collection of the Rijksmuseum consists of 1 million objects and is dedicated to arts, crafts, and history from the years 1200 to 2000. Around 8000 objects are currently on display in the museum.
The collection contains more than 2,000 paintings from the Dutch Golden Age by notable painters such as Jacob Isaakszoon van Ruisdael, Frans Hals, Johannes Vermeer, Jan Steen, Rembrandt, and Rembrandt's pupils.
The museum also has a small Asian collection which is on display in the Asian pavilion.
It also displays the stern of HMS Royal Charles which was captured in the Raid on the Medway, and the Hartog plate.
In 2012 the museum took the unusual step of making some 125,000 high-resolution images available for download via its Rijksstudio webplatform, with plans to add another 40,000 images per year until the entire collection of one million works is available, according to Taco Dibbits, director of collections.
