Again thank you all for your interesting comments.

Many many years ago i started taking pictures of early parts of my collection, mostly as reference when i was out on flea markets and such.
Some were just single pictures, some were complete detailed walkarounds. I put little yellow stickers on the bottom of the paw of every figure I had pictures of.
But computers crashed, pictures were lost, stickers came loose. #fail
Even the inventory/catalogue I started back then ended up with vague non-distinct descriptions like:
polarbear, walking, plastic, brand unknown, 2,5cm. I even tried to come up with a codeing system: 1 for polarbear, 1.1 polarbear walking, 1.2 polarbear standing, 2 for brown bear, etc etc

As wonderful as the extended museum idea sounds, I don’t see it happen. Either because of location, logistics, money and all various points of view regarding collecting and collections.
But it is nice to dream about it.

Talking to my mother again, she tried to be quite political about the fact the no one would treasure my collection the way I do.
Like maybe keep 1 or 2 figures as a memento to me personaly, but not to the collection itself. So in the end it is most likely to be boxed up, thrown-out, given away.
I think I wouldn’t mind if my collection is split-up into parts or allotments. Given the fact I have various categories,
the cheap plastic, the real toys, the statues, the masse, the other materials, like metal, silver, glass, gems.
Don’t forget the stamps, postcards, Magic-cards, glass wear, mugs, beverages, and all the bear collectibles. I mean it is a lot.
Selling or giving it away in parts would give each part a better change to end up in the right place.

I have started writing a document to give the people that have to deal with my collection some insights and suggestions on what to do.
Just like my art collection. And in case they do decide to sell or give stuff away, I might even enclose some money in the envelop to cover part of the shipping.
