A Few Questions about Detolf Cabinets

No-doubt these questions have been asked countless times before, but I'm thinking about buying a few Ikea Detolf cabinets to display my statue's in as i've just moved into my new house and have no-where to display them at present.

1. Will the Attakus Vader1 statue fit ??
2. Are the shelfs removable ? Adjustable ?
3. How many Attakus statue's fit on each shelf ?
4. How wide and deep are they ?
5. Do Sideshow 1/4 scale and Gentle Giant statue's fit in ?

Any info would be appreciated, as i want to make sure before I buy as my nearest Ikea store is 100 miles away.

1 YES just remove a shelf
2 Yes but not adjustable
3 One Attakus statues are heavy and the limit is 13lbs but thats fairl conservative
4 ???? cant recall
5 Yes

Do a search on ikeas site for the detolf for more info I have 3 and love them.

Basically for an Attakus or SS 1/4 statue to fit in the Detolf you will have to remove some of the shelves. Only two of these will fit into a Detolf and you have to be careful with the weigth.
The Attakus Emperor will not fit at all in the Detolf (depth) so you will need to put it in the top of it (and remember to anchor it to the wall!!)

I think so but the Rancor will need to be slightly angled because its to wide to fit straight on.

Yeah you're right I just went and checked with mine to make sure and the Rancor is about an inch to tall. It measures 16" tall and the Detolf only allows 15" between shelves.

Simply Detolfs are no good for Attakus Statues.

I dunno. Although I'm moving my Attakus collection into a larger cabinet there were several Attakus pieces that fit and looked quite good in my Detolf without me removing a shelf.

Examples:
-Tusken Raider
-R2-D2
-Jawa
-Clone Trooper
-Boba Fett
-Wicket
-Yoda
-Luke -Pilot
