    Mego display backdrops

    I have my larger collection in a big closet in another room. This ikea case is in my office, I rotate Megos in and out of it. I recently added these simple Dida vinyl backdrops to liven up the display. These are simple 3 panel displays with no floors or snaps or anything, but they still have that Mego playset feel.

    They are 10 inches high and 30 inches wide when opened up completely. They are $13 each if you are interested.

    I'm interested to know if there's any demand for these. Not everyone can display a big deluxe Dida playset.







    This is my Mego Museum display case with sliding plexiglass cover. Mattell GA isn't quite allowed in yet.

    I'd definitely be interested, especially at that price.

    Would the art be fixed? Or would we have the ability to slide custom backdrops into it?

    Oh, and a second note - what's the name of the ikea display case? I'd kill for a few of those. Are they still available or are they retired?

            I love the concept, seeing as the Detolfe is so common.

              Any way to make the inserts 10x10 to fill up the Detolf a little more fully?

              I'd be interested in the Apes one. I also like the idea of changeable scenes. Perhaps the tops could snap or zip and the inserts could change out?

                I'd love a 2 sided one myself, Apes on one side, and the villain lab on the other!

                  I think that's a cool idea. Nice.

                      Thanks for the feedback, here's some answers to the questions:

                      Art can easily be slid in and out, yes.

                      These are one sided backdrops--they only have pockets on one side, they are black on the other side. My factory made a mistake and made them all single sided, so I took them for half price, that's why they can be so cheap.

                      I can do one that's taller and fits a detolf better--but there's a catch--I'll show you later.

                      Aj backdrops are a possibility. I can do a poll later to see what people want most.

                        Those are very cool and more convenient than full size playsets for small spaces.
