My coloreds are in one container and my fleshies in another. It worked out quite well actually. The figures fill up both containers perfectly!

Gigantic cup (From gas station): FLesh
Small bucket (From kid's meal at restaraunt): Flesh
Big candy tin: Colour
Small candy tin: Colour
Medium candy tin: Kinkeshi
Oh- and my flesh-to-colour ratio is split about in half between 'em.
The larger Romando figures are ona shelf during the schoolyear, and wherever I can store them otherwise (Akumashogun, Ashuraman, Sunshine, and Brocken)

Anyway, I display only a bookcase worth of toys at once, so here's an image of the display. I limit the display of toys in this manner for two reasons: 1) It keeps my apartment from becoming overrun with toys, which would be disturbing to visiting dames, and 2) it's fun changing the display and bringing out older toys every once in a while. Anyway, here's a description of the toys:
At the top are my favorite Star Wars figures. The highlights are the 21-back Hammerhead, 12" vintage boxed Chewie, and that cool Yoda puppet, which my grandmother used as a beer holder. (And for the really keen-sighted, the vinyl-caped Jawa in front of Jabba is not real.)
At the middle are some various toys such as boxed Slag, mint Rockadile with box, and, of course, a few of my favorite MUSCLEs! If you really want to strain your eyes, you can see my four different-colored Tortles towards the right.
And at the bottom are three Jumbo Machindeers: Gaiking, Draguun, and the new Gaiking Unifive reissue. (Side note: never aim a Shogun shooting fist towards your crotch. Let's just say that safety restrictions were implemented for a reason.) You can also see Jetfire and two different carded Chewies. (All of which you could aim towards your crotch with no problems.)
Anyway, these toys are pretty much my babies. Wait... I think Gaiking needs to be burped... Aw, did you eat too fast, my widdle man?

wow!The highlights are the 21-back Hammerhead....
that is a great picture. really cool looking. but i did have a question. i don't know anything about Star Wars figures, but whenever i see them it almost always has a "10 back or 15 back etc." what does that mean anyway? does it describe the date the figure came out or its current condition or what?
but that is a cool looking shelf. how can the ladies resist?.........

Whose the M.U.S.C.L.E. to the left of the orange tortle? He is neon green and seems to be holding a long staff. Is he a M.U.S.C.L.E. or Kinnikuman? I've never seen this guy before!

And as for the 21-back Hammerhead question, Johnny's right. The first release only had 12 figures (actually, paintings of the figures) on the back of the card, thus giving it the name, 12-back. This Hammerhead was part of the second wave and it shows 21 figures on the back. I think the card backs went all the way up to 92 by the end of Power of the Force in 1985, but I might be wrong.
On a side note, some 20-back figures had an offer for the mail-in Boba Fett. Of course, the rocket-launching mechanism of the figure was removed, so Kenner put a sticker over a picture that explained the mechanism. If you remove that sticker, you can see the picture below. Ah... what might have been...

that is really interesting about those star wars figures and the bobba figure. toys are so interesting...
as for doc moore's table idea, that is SO dam sweet. as my collection has been growing (i am half way there) ive been thinking about how best to display-store my Muscles. i kept thinking "shelf", but now realize that a coffee table type deal would be both functional and decorative. i was thinking more of a low rectangle type table. if the top was glass, then it should have a hinge on it for easy access to the collection. they should also be "grounded" somehow so they don't fall over every time the table is bumped. maybe some of that gum stuff people use on posters....
but what i hope to do is make a rectangle coffee table and have a solid opaque table top. but along the edge have glass trim going all around. so there is kind of a square glass tube running along the edge. (can you picture it?) all the Muscle would have their backs to the center of the table. each glass side would have either a hinge pulling it up or a sliding door for easy access.
the downside is that the entire collection can not be viewed all at once, but the upside is that any junk mail, magazines or tv remotes on top of the table would not obscure your Magnificent Muscle View.
i am semi-handy with tools, but it should be a long and fun project. ill hopefully start it after i get settled from my move in a month. of course, ill keep everyone posted.
but yeah, Doc Moore, that is a really great idea.
