I only have one 1/6 figure, but I've got all the Hot Toys Dark Knight figures and a couple of the Iron Man ones on order and I was just wondering how you guys display yours.
Are there any good class cabinets out there I should know of? Any suggestions would be great!

If only there were a forum on these boards where people displayed their stuff and described what they used.....huh.......oh wait......
Just kidding, most people rely heavily on the Detolf from IKEA and a lot of what people go to is from that store but check out that forum and you'll see some pretty original ideas.

mine are in the open. might have to dust more often but i like them spread out on top of speakers and shelfs and stuff. better than cramming them all behind glass. that's just my opinion. glass cabinets are fine. they're just not for me.

Thanks for the feedback guys, and that's an awesome setup you have there Spawnfan. I think I might go with the Deltof considering it's so cheap too and looks great.
And sorry if I posted this in the wrong forum, I just didn't notice the "Show Your Shelves" section all the way down there.

Don't worry, you'll get the hang of where things are.
Yeah Detolfs are a definate favourite amongst collectors, IKEA in general offer a lot of display options.As you'll see in the show your shelves section theres even people who use fishtanks, and they look awesome too :rock
Some very creative displays in there, here ya go:

Voorhees has a nice display setup.
I just use a bunch of those cheap $15 shelved from Walmart, stacked several shelfs high.

pretty much any old wood/glass cabinet will look great if you put some decent lights and flat color poster board background in. there's no reason to get extravagant. so long as they're decently lit and posed to your liking the figures will look awesome.

I'm not a fan of detolfs myself. Items just look too crammed in them.
