Display shelf for PFs

Mirrors on the back and sides could visually make the space look crowded with multiple reflections making it look like many statues in same spot but you would see all sides of the one statue.

I really want to add a mirror backing to my Bestas, however the only way i am seeing for it to be done is to custom order it. I think the cheap adhesive backings would look like crap.. Been looking for alternative/ideas

Just get a big round stone pedestal, put it in the middle of an empty room, and display one statue at a time for full admiration effect.

I have a Blizzard D.Va Statue, and she prob weighs around 40lbs. Not sure I trust the shelves, so i put her on the bottom.

I use the stock shelves. Got SS Lich King, D3 Barb, Bane, HMO X and F4F Simon on my shelves. These are all different weights. Zero issues. Stock shelves can hold 44lbs. You can probably push a bit more just keep an eye for bowing.

I owned that Dva statue and yes it’s big and heavy. If you purchased the tall Besta I’d suggest putting her on the bottom shelf to be safe. If it’s too close to the floor for you, pick up 4 of the 6” Besta feet they work wonders.

What are the LED lights that everybody seems to use from Ikea? I was there today but wasnt sure which ones to get.

Also, ive noticed a few people having some kind of platform for the Detolf cabinets. Any ideas on a platform to use for that?

Also what are some good cabinets for smaller statues that you all use?

Thanks for all you all's help btw, it really is appreciated xD

@eternalblue02 I may pickup some of those legs for the besta. Thanks for the idea.

No problem.

Use the search and look here, general and the P1 sections I’ve seen people discuss lighting. I use strips in bestas, pucks on my 1/3 bases because they’re displayed in the open. The lighting strips I use have been discontinued so it’s back to the drawing board if I ever get more bestas...

Are you asking about the clear acrylic risers so you can display figures at different heights? If so google acrylic risers for figures. Plenty of custom places.

I use detolfs for smaller figures. Some people use billy bookcases.

The legs are awesome. Lets people see your lower statues and easy access for cleaning.

Same here House, I actually had the ikea mirrors set up at one time and I really liked how they looked, they were just so limiting.

I haven't looked into how much it would cost to get customs but always assumed it'd more than I'd want to pay.

I still use detolfs. I like to live dangerously.

I contemplated the same but ended up going the opposite direction and upholstering the interior with black velvet to adsorb as much light as possible and make the statues pop. Really happy with the results... now just need to get my hands on Vantablack to make it look even better....

Hey Joel are those Bestas with the regular doors?

I've often considered going that route but I have some pieces that are a little tall although that spiderman PF looks like it fits perfectly...
