Display units for figures

[Phillm1969]

What display units do people use for their loose figures?
Mine have been stored in a safe place for more than 15 years and I'm worried if I put them on display they will discolour or fade.

By far the best (imho) are Collector Displays. https://collectordisplaysuk.com/

Drew is a top guy. They're well worth the money, as they are built with a collector's eye and the build quality is superb.

Here's mine:

Wow love it
How much did it cost and how many figures can it fit

I use these: https://www.gwacrylic.co.uk/product...ure-1st-12-synergy-stand-acrylic-display-case

You'll need a few of them, but simple and quite (all releative) cheep

I have about 130 original figures!

They fit a full run and you can buy extension stands to fit any variants. Drew also does customs sometimes, so might be worth messaging him to see what's currently available and if he can do something different. All the info should be on the website.

The best thing is the magnetised front- so easy to get the figures in and out. Some people even recess the cases so they are flush with the wall. They look amazing, but way beyond my meagre DIY skills!

Well I took the plunge and ordered my wall mounted display case
Thanks cazza for the link I ordered the same one as yours

Excellent- you won't be disappointed. Make sure you post plenty of pics when it's set up!

I made my own, it's 60cm x 80cm (poster sized) and can fit about 130 figures in it.

Love those wall mounted displays.
I went for display units from Argos, great for loose and carded. Couple of DVD stands either side for mini rigs.
They do need dusting though so having them behind glass/perspex might be a good idea

 

[Cazza]

Those DVD shelves are perfect for the mini rigs!

Those look great! You mention possibly putting them behind glass or Perspex to keep out the dust, and I think that's a very good idea. I hate dusting my collection, which is why I always put mine behind Perspex. If you or anyone else is interested in trying their hand at building their own cabinets, complete with Perspex covers, I wrote a 'How to' guide here, since I always build my own:

Building A Display Cabinet - GUIDE COMPLETED 03/06/18

I originally wanted to publish this guide in one go as a complete finished article. However, it took me far longer than I expected or wanted to get this written and published and hence it was instead published in chunks. My apologies for this, however I am pleased to say that as of 3rd June...

My Modern Collection

I've been collecting the modern line since 1995. I resisted at first, but the first modern Boba Fett figure Hasbro released convinced me to take the plunge, and 27 years later I'm still hooked! In the early days, I used to buy everything released, but over the years I started passing on the...

My Sci-Fi TV & Film Loose Figures - Family Guy, Buffy & Futurama

To prove I'm not all about Star Wars, and shamelessly inspired by other similar postings (e.g. subzero's excellent http://starwarsforum.co.uk/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=34767), here are some pics of some of my Sci-Fi TV & Film related loose figures, shoehorned into one of my custom cabinets. It's...

And if you're interested in seeing a more detailed look at my main loose vintage run held in one of the cabinets above, it's here:

My Main Loose Run - From Butterflies to Noah's Ark

I thought it was time to share some photos of my main loose run. Years ago in the 90's, when I first got back into collecting vintage again after foolishly selling off all my childhood toys whilst still a pre-teen in the early 80's, I needed somewhere to keep my collection as it expanded. That...

Top work Jeremy, they look great.

My collecting space is my attic room so the challenges of the ceiling/wall angles have meant that I've always made my own shelving to display my collection so I can maximise the space. I have considered fitting perspex over the front in the past but I do like them being fully out in "the open" but dust is definitely a problem

Thank you.

Yes, it's a trade off I suppose between being able to get at your collection more easily and having to dust it if there are no covers, and having covers but no dusting. It can certainly be a pain having to open my cabinets up to add new items, but I hate dusting so much that for me it's a price worth paying!
