Best Display Case For 1/6 figures??

[maru81]

If you are planning to display multiple figures from same theme, I would go with Besta from Ikea with glass insert for extra row at the back.

Wow! That's a really nice setup!

The only problem I have with bestas is that you can only really view what's in them dead on. Everything is inside a closed box with small glass viewing window. If you're not standing directly in front, it's hard to really see/enjoy them. That's the main reason I go with detolf because it's all glass and you can see it from a lot of angles.

Is there a larger Detolf? I like the glass, but wish it were bigger to hold more figures together.

I like more space than a Detolf can provide. Also, living in Japan doesn't make having display cases made entirely out of glass a good idea. I use Jajan-Craft cases for my figures. The shelves are adjustable which allows for larger figures (Hulk, for example) to pose upright. A glass panel insert can be purchased and attached to the back of the inner shelf to allow for better viewing of figures, too. The glass doors come with locking mechanisms to prevent children from gaining access.

I currently own two and will need to order a third fairly soon. With the 39cm deep case, you can fit 1/6 figures 3 deep which definitely helps for displaying figure lines.

I highly doubt if they ship outside Japan and even if they did, the price for shipping may be cost prohibitive. But, it's a great shelf for figures and worth looking into. The link below is for the illuminated case since that seems to be the style in demand.

I love that case!! I don't know if I can get it here in the US. Looks great though. I'll look into it though. Does anyone know if there are any display cases like this here in the US?

Maybe ask around and get a carpenter to make one? Go to a glass shop and have them cut the dimensions you need to make what you want?

I bought a store display case, but I hated the glass (too dangerous), so am in the process of replacing with greenedge perspex.

Pricey, but stunning.

Another alternative is, depending on your skills (and appetite for cost), look up aluminium extrusions on the interwebs, and you can design and build your own. Most places that do that sort of thing will cut and even engineer them for you (ie drill holes for t-bolts and fasteners etc. Such as https://www.modularcomponents.com.au/building-blocks/

You can even find places that will powdercoat or anodise the parts for you.

Planning out a large shelf for my MR falcon and a couple of larger SS SW models that just don't fit in a "standard" display case.

I just ordered these I like the All Glass look of them and plus you can put a background if you want and it has 15 in of clearance so now I can put my fingers on the stands if I want to my other display I had just 13 in what's the figures fit but after I put the light in I can't put them on the stands so hopefully this will solve my issues and I'll probably just sell my old display cases which is still very nice with all the lights in them and stuff. But I'll post an update I should be getting them in a week or so.

Glass cabinets are flimsy and there were even reports of exploding detolfs. I'd avoid them, especially the brands from Amazon.

I have two never had any issues like that with mine. I didn't get it from Amazon anyway

The issues persist, though. You can just Google "exploding detolf" or "exploding glass cabinet" and you'll see the discussions. Glass isn't durable in tensile strength, I'd personally go for a cabinet with acrylic (as there are way more options now, compared to just several years ago).

I have 3 Detolf I've been using for years. My old house had wood and carpet floor which I had no problem with. My new home has ceramic tile floor and as soon as one of the Detolf glass panel touches the floor, it exploded and shattered into tiny pieces.
Since its discontinued, I can't even order parts anymore..
