My Otaku Room

Danny Choo has been encouraging folks to post an image of their Otaku room. So I decided to join the bandwagon and start taking photos of my Otaku sanctuary. ^^
When you enter married life, figures, gundams, and other toys will not be welcomed in the bedroom. ^^ Trust me, even if your wife is an otaku, it’s very unlikely she would want your anime posters hanging in the bedroom wall. Besides you wouldn’t want any other distraction there other than your wife. ^^ So naturally you’d have to keep all of those anime goodies and merchandise in another room.
Otaku Office
Originally this room was supposed to be an office/den or library, however it has long been overrun by gundams and figures. ^^
Shelves
The top shelves are where I keep recently built Gundams. A tip: keep them high up to make sure children visitors can’t reach them. ^^

Stuff beside my computer are recently opened figures or built gundams that I play work with while on my desk. ^^;
toys
Win Chan, first saw her on Danny San’s site, wanted her but couldn’t find her, until recently when my wife got her for me via Amazon. ^^ Yatta!!! Btw another figure she got me way back was Aya Natsume.

Halogen lights on display shelves may have seem like a good idea at the time, but I soon realized tis not so good for PVC Figures. ^^; so I keep them off unless there’s a visitor or if I wanted to take a picture of the room. ^^
lighted cabinets
And yes that’s a My Melody at the bottom of the picture. My wfe has her running around the house like a rabbit. Much to my dis…*ouch* (>.<*)

Top cabinets still full of unopened GFFs and kits. Gotta find time to build them these days. ^^; Underneath is a foldable sofa bed, just in case the misus throws me out and I have to find company with my gundam…just kidding. In case we have guests who like to be surrounded with gunpla and figures. ^^
Gundam Cabinets
Not all me gunpla and figures are here in this room though, left a few up in the attic. Was supposed to convert the area to a living room, unfortunately it too has been overrun, but this time by wedding gifts. hHaven’t disposed of them all yet. Btw if anyone reading this gave us a wedding present… not to worry, your stuff isn’t up here in the attic. ^^; orz
