![]() ![]() The only downside to cabinets is that they can be expensive-much more expensive than a bookshelf or pegboard display. Many cabinets have mirrors installed in the backs, allowing for a full 360-degree view of your collection, and some cabinets even have lighting to emphasize every feature of your detailed figurines. Glass cabinets are not only professional and clean-looking, but they also keep your figurines more protected from dust, dirt, and other damaging substances. This is the most highly recommended method for displaying figurines. This display method typically only works for articulated figurines, however, and doesn’t allow for many dynamic poses or displays with props, weapons, etc. If you wish to display your opened figurines on peg board, you can put a couple nails underneath the figurines’ “armpits” to hold them on either side. Some hardware and specialty stores sell peg boards already in the free-standing state. If you don’t want to “hole up” your walls, then you can either nail the peg board to the wall on a wooden frame (minimizing the number of holes necessary), or purchase a couple two-legged supports to set the peg board in so that it can free-stand. The trick is to nail or thumbtack the backboard of the figurine box to a wall or thick board (we recommend peg board, since it already has holes in it). This method is mainly for displaying figurines that are still in their boxes, though it can be used-to some extent-for opened figurines as well. The only two downsides to bookshelves is that they are much more open to dust (we’ll talk about that in a moment), and that deep or low-to-the-ground bookshelves can sometimes conceal figurines placed in certain locations. Bookshelves are perfect for a collector on a budget who’s looking for an attractive way to show off their figurines. Because they have multiple shelves-often adjustable-you’ll have plenty of layers available, allowing you to group your collection by series, character, or manufacturer. While there are many creative methods for showing off your collection, these are the top three we recommend: Bookshelvesīookshelves come in all shapes and sizes, meaning that you can easily find one that suits the shape of your room. Having a proper display can make a huge difference in how professional, cool, or homey your collection looks. It can seem like a daunting task at first, but with a few household and store-bought items to aid you, you can make your collection shine!ĭeciding what kind of figurine display case to go for Learning to keep your figurines dust-free and protected from the elements is just as important as choosing how to display them. ![]() yes I am a man, I can change, if I have to.Ĭreate an account or login in order to post a comment.You’ve purchased figurines of all your favorite magical girls and RPG action heroes.
