Have you planned a glass front ?

I was trying to daydream, but my mind kept wandering.

Dont mix Statues ans Hot Toys. Keep them separately and keep the displays clean in the lines!
Try to pit only Hot Toys or Statues in the boxes and you will see it looks better then mixed up!
You want a DISPLAY and not a storage ;-)

Thank you very much, and very good question. I had priced plexiglass, but it will cost around 900 USD after the custom cuts, and I'll have to use rubber adhesives to join them. That would be for the front, back, and sides. I really wanted an entirely dust free environment, but I have no children, and am fortunate enough to have a very obedient dog that won't go hiking his leg on the display.

I think I may just keep it as-is, and blast it with a hair dryer every weekend. May not be ideal, but I'm just happy to finally have something elegant-looking to display my statues. My partner doesn't understand my hobby, at all, so the deal was, as long as it looks clean, I can use the entire basement haha.

The entire right side will be dedicated to my X-MEN, and some of the new releases rolling out, and I've still got to put up my other Spider-Man statues. I think it'll look cleaner if I leave out the wall art and just keep it to the statues.

Would love to do glass, but I'll see how it holds the next few months.

I agree with you on this. Thank you for the info. I think as I continue filling it I'll be relocating the Hot Toys back to storage. I recently sold all my Hot Toys, except those three Thor, but I've got the three new PS4 Spider-Men on the way. I'll likely replace the Thor HTs with the Jane Thor PF and will go from there.

Landscaping totally killed my budget this summer so it'll be a while, but I agree with you. Clean is the way to display. Thanks again!

Without wall art

Planning on moving Ms. Marvel down one row and relocating the IS Thor pieces below the HT Thors. I'll put the three HT Spider-Man pieces where Ms. Marvel is to balance out the HT Thors. And I plan on putting the fully sculpted Spider-Man behind Miles M. Going to hold much less than originally anticipating, but I think it'll look nicer without so much clutter.

I recently moved and needed some more shelving for some books. Alot of the shelving I have is cute made by a friend of mine but since he is busy I decided to purchase some. I did go to Ikea and got two sets of the Kallax shelves

https://www.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/products/60275812/

The interior space of the shelves is more than 13 inches by 13 inches. They do fit DC Absolute's in them and have a little room to spare. I was very pleased with these and while they would not hold all statues these shelves, which have no back, would hold mini busts, the SC Direct series or a statue up to 12 inches. I got the black-brown shade since alot of my other shelving is a chocolate brown.

Materials were expensive, but labor was cheap
