Best Display Case For 1/6 figures??

Haldiron · Feb 16, 2017

I know similar questions have probably been posted many times, but I'm trying to get some ideas for the best display options specifically for 1/6th scale figures. I don't necessarily want the cheapest option. I want something that looks really nice. At the same time, I don't want to unnecessarily break the bank. I currently have 7 1/6th scale figures, but I expect my collection to grow. Let me know if you guys have some ideas. Thanks.

Those are nice. Do they come with the lighting?

Wondering if my Gandalf will have enough clearance?

No they do not. IKEA did sell the dioder strip lights that you could install but as of late last year they were discontinued

Any other ideas? I'd like something with some lighting.

No matter what display you buy you will have to add the lighting yourself.

But I thought you said they discontinued the lighting?

They have the the strip lights. The dioder would let you light each shelf individually while connected to one unit. The new strip light won't and all the strips have to stay connected in one long piece or 3 small strips. Also the dioder would allow you to change the desired color.

Aww, that's a bummer. Are there any other displays out there that have some cool lighting options like that? I don't know slot about this.

newarkcapo · Feb 17, 2017

There are a bunch out there that present well with 1/6 figures. I personally prefer the Detolf. With it made of all glass you can see your collectibles from different angles, and it has a sturdy door with the handle at the top of the case which, for me, is good deterrent against children wanting to open it. Bestas and Billy's are good, but because of the solid wood I feel it's too dark on the shelf and would definitely require some kind of lighting. Also the doors on them are not full glass but with a wood edge around them so it blocks part of your view.

newarkcapo · Feb 17, 2017

That's good information. I am not sure sure what I want to do. Any other ideas?

I've had the dioder lights and thought they were decent, swapped them out with LED strip kits from eBay

Haldiron · Feb 19, 2017

Oh ok, yeah, that looks pretty good. Are there any larger display cases? I have been collecting the Asmus Lord of the Rings figures and one thing I want to do once the whole fellowship is completed (fingers crossed) is to display them all together. Any ideas for something like that?

Anyone have any other ideas?
