How to display 7 inch figures

[Balsquat]

Hey everyone,

With the recent Rocky pics and current Neca Predator lineup, I was thinking of getting back into 7inch figures. However, my biggest problem with the scale is that they are very difficult to display without looking cluttered and messy. Does anybody know of good shelving options for 6 or 7 inch figures?

Perhaps a few of you have some pics you would be willing to share.

I realize this thread does not belong in this section, I just want it to be visible for the time being

Yea really

If I can't figure this out, I may just forget the whole idea. From what I remember, 7 inch figures were a pain in the ass.

Honestly for now all my 7" stuff remains MIMB. That is when I actually buy 7". I have my old Rocky Jakks figures as well as my NECA T1/T2 figures.

I did not realize you bought the neca terminator figures. I would have trouble not displaying these if I bought them.

It allows you to break up all your figures by theme. Terminator in this one, Predator in this one etc...

I got this from Ikea awhile ago have no clue on availability or name.

Both are good ideas. You could also add the adjustable spice rack shelves to these or acrylic risers. That will raise up the figures in the back. Here's what the spice rack shelf and the acrylic risers look like:

It's what I used for many years until I converted to 1:6.

Are there any dust proof ways of displaying 7 inch figures? I have a ton in box in the basement and want to display them one day just need a good dust proof way to do so.

Anyone know where to find those black stands?

The only dust proof way is in an enclosed display case or by using acrylic cases. The Detolf is pretty good, but dust can still get inside.

Those round black stands were sold through the McFarlane store back in the day. Currently they are not selling them.

If you need some, shoot me a PM with your mailing info. I think I have some in my storage area.

I was going to say a garbage can works good, but didn't want to offend anyone.

Never liked those little figures, always lacking in detail and size.

Not to mention they're dust magnets.

I think I may avoid the whole idea. I can see myself getting nuts about the display and I would probably lose sleep over it.
