display case for 1/4?
I'm looking to purchase a display case for a few 1/4 statues. I would like them to be protected by glass so nothing can damage the statues. Can you guys recommend anything because I've been looking and can't find anything too good. I appreciate any input.
Thanks

Custom pedestals if you can afford them. For the prized pieces in your collection!

There are 2 Ikeas right over in Philly. Bestas,Norden, or a PAX for larger items. The PAX doesn't have glass doors though. You would have to make them. Which is what I plan on doing.
If you're looking for acrylic cases then casesforcollectibles.com is good for the smaller 1/4 pieces. When you start getting to the large cases, shipping is insane. Better off finding a local shop to make them.
I tried getting a case for my CM 1/3 Predator and they couldn't even give me a shipping quote. I think it's pick up only for something that large.
The only local place I found wanted $450 so, I'm going to make my own as soon as I get a chance.

For those who recommended the bestas.. is this the one you are talking about? and if so you would be taking out the middle shelves to make more room I assume for a 1/4 statue?.. thanks again

Wow, those are expensive for 4 statues, but they always looks so good.
