Shelf Buying help

[empacker04]

Now since I have 5 Hot Toys 1/6 scale figures, I want to display them nice. I know some mention the IKEA glass shelves. But I'm not sure on the right ones to get. Can someone please post a link, or if you have other options, please let me know.

THANKS!

I'm not sure what country your in but I think Ikea sell everything in most countrys anyway.
The links here are straight to the US site but just look at the items name then type it in on the other if you need too.

The most common ikea shelving for 12" inch figures is the "detolf ". Cheap , alot of display space and pretty much perfect for 1/6 scale figures.

You can see Detolfs being used here in Voorhees27's thread here..

And if you need alot of room for statues and busts theres " bestas " that have shelving that can be moved around to your liking.
You can get these in smaller and bigger sizes too so just check the measurments if interested.

Yep, thanks Hicks - excellent overview of what most of us use. I'd also add the Ikea Billy - they're shallower, but okay for 1/6.

 

[empacker04]

This is perfect! Thanks for the help.

Will the detolf work for Hot Toys Predators since they are around 14"?

Detolfs are awesome!!!! I really need to get some already!

My display of choice. Can nicely display a variety of collectibles. Very modular and with the shelf extension, very tall.

You can also try JYSK Seja cabinets and shelves

You mean Detolf

That would explain why Ikea website kept coming up with 0 results in the search


I'm just about to start retiling my office to match the rest of the house and was thinking about what shelves to use. I have a combination of bookshelves and homemade shelves I drilled into the studs. Looks sort of tacky. Think about going to Detolfs myself. I hope I spelled that right, but I'm not going back to check.

I'm going to use these 2 custom made cabinets for my collection later this year:
