Display cabinets for 1/6 figures.

I was going to put a " ? " in the title but figured this thread could be used in the future for anyone wondering on how to display there 1/6 stuff rather than opening a million new threads asking the same question.

I'm only collecting 1/6 figures now and whilst the detolfs are fantastic and cheap they're not doing a good job of keeping dust out and I'd like something different in the future.
I was hoping on finding something around the same height as a detolf but a lot wider and with a better seal from dust. It's proving difficult though.

I like the idea of the figures being able to be lined up in one unit behind glass without having 2 or 3 figures , space , next detolf , 2 or 3 figures , space , next detolf.
If I'm spending usually over £100.00 per figure I'd like to invest in some decent display cabinets. Unless there is around a 14" inch gap per shelf too , something that seems almost a must for me in this hobby is adjustable shelving and that's proving a nightmare since I'm already looking for something quite specific.

Any ideas ?. I'm thinking about looking into how much something custom made would be but I'm afraid of the price I'm going to get.

Okay what you can do as most 1/6 stuff is only around 12" high you can use the besta cabinets for these. You can get one of the 75" units and get 5 of the 15" Tombo doors and they will fit perfectly on the 75" unit so you can have 5 shelves.

Here is a link to the units Im talking about
https://www.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/products/40102129 and
5 of these https://www.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/products/40103553.

Or you can get a double unit and 10 doors.

I would say you could easily fit 6 to 10 figures per shelf for a total of almost 30 to 50 figures per unit. Now this will cost you about $300 for the set up but I would suggest looking in AS-IS because mine has these all the time there.

Also if you can still find the Vegby doors you could also use those for a pretty neat and cheaper 12" display.
