    collection

    hello all,

    sooooo, i have always really wanted to put together a box set of wgsh, because i think they display so great, but i just can't take on that financial responsibility right now.

    so something clicked and i am getting excited about putting together a loose set, plus i think the hunt for parts will be really fun!!! but i want to know how you guys like to display loose figures, i'm just not that into putting them in a bookcase. any pictures of how to display loose figures would be awesome.

    thanks in advance
    k.c.

    Welcome!

    some folks here sell high quality reproduction boxes you could always display them in those.

      If you don't want to go the bookcase route, perhaps DIDA Display cases are right up your alley.

          Go the Dida route. They make loose figures look great and fit perfectly in corners. I don't have a lot of room to display my collection, so I rotate them in and out. Here's my collection with the Didas.

                  I think you have to have a certain amount of posts before you can unlock that, can't remember how many.

                    If you can't afford a boxed set, how about getting repro boxes? We've got some of the best box makers in the hobby here. Check with Anthony (The Toyroom) or Mike (Mego73), can't go wrong with either one.

                          you can also use cutouts for the ones that will take longer to acquire.
