Pedestals for 1/4 and 1/3 statues
I'm starting to see I'm will start to have problems with space. I currently have three 1/4 statues in their boxes and 1/4 on displayed on top of a cabinet. The one on the cabinet is there while I rearrange the room where I plan to display them all. Problem, I am seeing is I will eventually run out of room and I need to start getting creative. I collect all of the 1/4 League of Legends statues, going to start on Star Wars, starting with the legendary Yoda, two 1/3 prime1 statues, and any 1/4 pieces that I really like that aren't league or star wars. Right now I have room for all of them, but once my preorders to start to ship I'm run out of space and I want to utilize the space behind my pc desk to place a few with pedestals.
I realize that the two 1/3 statues won't fit on one of my cabinets as a pair. One is 15W and other is 22W on a 30ish wide cabinet. I would only be able to place 1, but not both.
Main Question: Are there any pedestals I can buy to place my 1/3 and 1/4 statues?

Welcome to the hobby of never have enough space. As soon as you think you have more room, a couple of POs land and you’re needing to expand again.
Pedestals from online shops get expensive very quickly and it’s tough to match up to our exact needs. I’ve heard good things about moducases but they take forever to ship. If you can find someone near you to bang out a few pedestals, it might be worth it. Plus, it’s to your exacting details.
Good luck.

Saw this once before. Thought it was pretty cool ...and forgot about it. Then you brought up the question, so I looked it up again.

No kidding!
Need space to display the statues and need space for the boxes, too.

The quickest way to double your money is to fold it in half and put it back in your pocket.

Yes, I use Pedestal Source for my collection. I've had them make me four ambient light pedestal with dust covers. They are based in Colorado, so you definitely have to factor in the shipping cost when thinking about having them make pedestals for your collection.

I think such pedestal are beautiful but I'm too afraid to put a statue on them. I can't shake the thought that the pedestal can easily fall over.

The taller the pedestal, the riskier it is to topple. Yes. But you could make the pedestal bottom heavy. At the bottom, you could stack sand bags to add weight. Or anything that's heavy ...like a stack of books.

I didn't know you could disassemble the piece to put something heavy on the pedestal bottom.
I've thought about it many times, but haven't been able to make up my mind yet

It takes a brave collector to dump all those boxes.
I have yet to find such a high level of bravery.
