    When I finished my attic I built shelves into the wall 12 feet long 11 inches deep

    this pic is a year out of date so there is more here now but you get the display idea. Also I put plexi glass over the face to keep out toddlers!

They make many different sizes including ones that are perfect for 8" Megos)
      cool...I have only seen the white stands...black on black background makes sense...do you have a picture?

          I'll try to get a few pics uploaded and post them here. The guy I buy the stands from is ittap52 on ebay. He has an ebay store (Don's Doll Supplies) with stands in a wide variety of sizes and colours. He's great to deal with.

              I use the same kind of acrylic boxes that I display my beanie babies () to also display my collection of Mego figures. I think it's the same boxes used by Type3Toys in his display below.

                  I don't need stands because the shelves are level and there are no pry ing fingers. Oh and more imortantly they don't move at all unless the entire house moves so they are super stable

                  the plexi also keeps the dust away.

                  i just counted the ones currently on display

                  i have 82 complete or near complete figures.
                  3 Alter Egos with real mego heads (not AE) real T1 mego bodies and real mego shoes.
                  2 EMCEs
                  25 CTVT < I love them! People are too hard on these guys. Mine are all standing, not broken and not peeing (I did have to use some parts from other CTVTs to make everything look good) at $5 a pop that is crazy goo.
                  9 selfmade customs
                  3 other customs (1 doc, 1 stevemoore, i unknown)
                  1 8"inch mightor
                  3 vehicles

                  -i missed something because there are 135 on display - oh yeah 7 AJs

                  3 3/4 : 2 figures, 1 vehicle

                          All of my Megos are loose, much like the Thundercats. 99.9% of them are stored away, but a few get to spend time on our breakfast bar where our computers are. I work on customs there and then they end up taking up residence on the bar until I put them away which usually takes months. For the longest time I had about 12 of them gathered there in a group, but now there's only 8. Seven of them are customs. Lame customs, but I like them.

                          I have got to get some Didas to put them in and some other displays.

                                All over for me.
                                I have them in my Beadroom & Livingroom. I once had a Batman in everyroom of the house, so I could look at him everyday. However the "Wife" decided that a Batman didn't look that great in the Bathroom & Kitchen. & My 8" Thing Display's to the Left,.. for some reason.
                                ... The Original Knight ..., Often Imitated, However Never Duplicated. The 1st Knight in Customs.
