There's several excellent "John Connor" heads available on some 1/6th forums I'm on, probably snag that one, if I can get the Dragon WWII flight jacket everyone has all of a sudden been snatching up!  i would really like to see your collection .. you have mentioned that you are a big 1/6th collector before ... and i have seen the john conner that you speak of ,and he is unreal
You bet bro, I'd be happy to! I've got most of it in boxes, much of it will have to be sold, my Vintage Joes, etc. I sold 95% of my Germans to pay bills. 
I've just finished my Fantasy Pub, I'm overdue on pics of it. Got dwarves, archers, knights, Conan, cleric, a bad-ass elven female fighter, Bilbo drinkin' and warming his feet by the fire.
A big Pirates of the Caribbean display, based on the ride, not the film. I built all the pirates, and they are gathered around a huge pile of loot, chests, etc. drinkin' away...
Next up is a Sci-Fi Space Station Bar. It'll be called "Hudson's Hangout", run by none other than one of our favorite Marines- Hudson! Thanks to Rook's story, Hudson survives, finally gets outa the Marines and opens up his own bar. I've got one of Lonnie's Hero Heads Hudson that I'll be painting and "aging" to look like an older Hudson.
It will be a gathering of my SciFi figs- At the Sideshow Dejarik table (the Star Wars Holographic game that Chewie and R2-D2 played) might be Malcolm Reynolds and Han Solo. Jayne Cobb will be there also. 2 Starship Troopers, a Predator (mebbe eating a burger, fun way to show off the wide open mandibles), a Jedi or two, a Colonial Marine (natcherly!), Dom's "I want you!" pic will decorate the wall, as will a head of a Alien if I can locate one, a older Clone Commander, Jack O'Neil of SG-1, some custom characters I've built, and so on. The bouncer may be a Kerebos Panzer Cop. Perhaps a Endor Commando will be there too. And assorted alien characters of course!
The interior will look like a space station. One wall will have a "picture window" of a starscape that I've saved for years. The bar will be in the center, either side of the dio will be partially raised to show the figures in the rear. EL lighting around the perimeter, mebbe Jar Jar Binks' head mounted on the wall 
Current size of both taverns is 18" x 24". Future expansion plans will be 24" x 3'. (as soon as I make space in my garage. 1/3 of the garage space will be devoted to 1/1 Costuming Props and 1/6th displays. I can't wait to display my custom WWII SAS Jeep!
I'll post pics of some of my characters. I do mainly Fantasy, Pirates and Sci-Fi characters now. A Modern Military every so often. Still have scads of WWII Americans, a entire British Red Devils squad- all custom, my version of a modern Adventure Team HQ. and so on and so on!
