HERE ARE THE ACTION FIGURE DISPLAYS WE WERE ABLE COMPLETE OVER THE YEARS OF EVOLVING AT CGG.

I REMEMBER BEFORE WE GOT THE SPACE TO DESIGN OUR DISPLAYS, I'D  HANG UP  LOOSE ACTION FIGURES AMONGST THE CARDED FIGURES AND THEY'D  SELL ALMOST IMMEDIATELY!  IT WAS VERY DISHEARTENING.  

I WANT TO PERSONALLY THANK ALL CGG STAFF WHO CONTRIBUTED IN ANY WAY- FROM HELPING WITH ANY CONSTRUCTION OF THESE DISPLAYS- TO JUST ENJOYING THEM. I LOVED CONTRIBUTING TO WHAT WE WERE ABLE TO ACCOMPLISH.  (EXTRA SPECIAL THANKS TO GENTA F.,LISA YAGI, ROBIN- JASON- MEG ACKERMAN, BROOK THOBER, JENNY P., AND OUR #1 PAINTER "PAUL" !

OUR DISPLAYS SET US APART FROM ANY OTHER COLLECTOR SHOP AND CREATED A MUSEUM- LEVEL AURA TO OUR SHOP. WE ARE TRUE FANS SO WE ONLY DID DISPLAYS WE COULD GET ADEQUATE FIGURES FOR- AND SPENT WHATEVER TIME WAS NEEDED UNTIL THE SCENES WERE RECREATED WITH PERFECTION.

THE DISPLAYS DEFINITELY ADDED TO THE AMBIENCE AND CREATED THE PERFECT ATMOSPHERE. WE WERE ABLE TO RUN THEM ALONG THE ENTIRE INTERIOR WALL LEADING UP TO OUR VIDEO SECTION

THE CGG ART TEAM WAS CONSTANTLY BUSY CREATING THE ATMOSPHERE AT OUR DIFFERENT SHOPS. AT ONE TIME IF SOME OF YOU REMEMBER- WE WERE OPERATING 3 CGG'S IN 3 DIFFERENT MALLS IN THE WEST VALLEY: TOPANGA PLAZA, WESTFIELD PROMENADE, AND OF COURSE OUR FLAGSHIP STORE AT FALLBROOK MALL.THIS ALL TOOK PLACE IN THE MID TO LATE 1990's.

One of our nearby locations was located in the Promenade Mall in Woodland Hills, CA. We dubbed it our "Deep Space 9 Store"

Designing CGG After Hours

We designed the prototypes for our Toy Displays at our short lived TOPANGA PLAZA Shop- then perfected them after CGG went up at Promenade
