Your display, the Funko way!

[treswright]

Thanks guys, and FunkoNinja is correct. My risers are constructed of foam board.

@FunkoNinja, that's actually a cool idea for the lighting for the GITD ones. I may take your idea, put them all in one section, and see how it looks!

Kimchi, something like these http://www.amazon.com/Joygo-5050-Waterproof-Ultraviolet-Fishing/dp/B00NXDYMKU

Thanks! I'll be looking into these

Read the reviews before buying, most of the UV strip LEDs on Amazon are poor quality. Many (maybe all) are not actually UV, they're just purple lights. I scanned the reviews at the above link and at least two people reported the purple coating burning off after a couple of months leaving white lights. I use these for my Pop GITD light boxes:

They're not cheap but they are true UV LED strips and they work fantastic!

treswright amazing custom risers. And the UV lights in the glow box is impressive. Well done.

[treswright]

So thank you kimchi pasta for the inspiration and thanks to treswright for the risers measurements!

You're quite welcome, and wow, what a difference! Nice work! Pops just look so much better when displayed nicely versus stacked up in boxes (no offense to the box folks out there )

PS- is that an older Detolf case? I have two that are in that same finish but I haven't seen them available for years. I think they just have the white and black/brown now.

Thanks for the info. I will make sure to get these when I start building my display case.

Yes, I came across the reviews last night that the UV was wearing away after a short time. Ahh yes, superbrightleds.com is a site I bought from a bunch when I was hooking up my car a few years back. I think I put them in my spam folder a while back. Time to un-spam them and wait for the next coupon to come across! Thanks, Tres! I'll keep you posted as I make moves.

kimchi! teach me the ways hahahaha

i've been collecting pop! for more than a year now and i was a inbox collector.. this is a picture of before:

IMG_0511.JPG

i had like over 260 pops and i have decided to downsize my collection to only what i really wanted.. i sold like a hundred pops and then, after i saw the display of kimchi pasta, i wanted the same! So thank you kimchi pasta for the inspiration and thanks to treswright for the risers measurements!

This is our (me and my wife) collection and the minis are for my 2 months old baby
(the 3 common troopers and bb8 from TFA, slave leia, marty mcfly 2015 and bilbo HT exclusive are coming)

I'm happy to inspire. Great displays...And congratulations on your newborn!

Yes i think so.. I bought them from a store that was closing. 2 detolf for 40$CAD

I'm happy to inspire. Great displays...And congratulations on your newborn!

Thank you!

Hi guys! Haven't posted too much recently but I thought this would be fun. This setup was inspired by other posts on this forum, so thank you! I love seeing all of your collection/displays.

I finally got the chance to set up these shelves, I collected and displayed in box for the longest time. Thought I'd share my setup, I'm really diggin' how much colour there is! It's not organized perfectly and I still don't really know what I'm doing with the oversized pops on top, but it's a lot nicer than it was before!

That's a VERY good look. Like a library!!! Good stuff

[ShoMeNodder]

Great displays everyone !

[spinn4]

I've been working on condensing my pop collection a bit as I'm running out of room, my wife is going crazy everytime I take one off the shelf, she's grown more attached to them than I am

I wish I had the space to display the same way you do. I think the figure in front on the box look is my favorite of all. Its just so colorful!

The current state of my collection in my gaming room.

WOW! Your display is amazing! I love it!!!

This is at my parents house (some didn't fit):



And this at my gf's house:



We just made them and they are already full

Just a couple walls in my house..

[WendyWho]

Finally finished building and lighting one of my display cabinets. Took longer to run the lights (which change color) than to build the cabinet. Two more cabinets to go.

[treswright]

Vinh, r2d2, KMFH11 and Shae- excellent collections and all very cleanly displayed!!


And Shae I sure know what you mean, doing a nice, clean lighting install is very time-consuming! You did a great job, it looks awesome!

Thank you very much! I will go out of box someday.

Thanks! If anyone understands, I know it's you! Speaking of, and I'm positive you've been asked this before, can you link me to the UV strips you use? I think I want to make a shelf on the next cabinet a glow one and the lights you use look awesome!

Sure, no problem! This is the one I use:

https://www.superbrightleds.com/moreinf ... 1465/4344/

Unfortunately it is not cheap, but it works really well. If you're just powering the one strip then I use one of these (set to 12v), it is 15.6 watts:

http://www.walmart.com/ip/PowerLine-130 ... t/16778839

Would love to see pics of your project after you finish it!

EDIT- I should have clarified a bit on the above- the UV LED strips draw around 4 watts per foot. What I should have said above is if you are running a single 39.4" strip of theirs then that is 12 watts. The Walmart power supply I linked is 1300mah which converts to 15.6 watts. If you're running more strips, or combining with white strips (or any other color) then you have to calculate the watt draw of each strip and add them all together to find your minimum transformer size. If you need a bigger transformer I use these off of Amazon and they've been great performers:

36 watts:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00DKS ... ge_o04_s00

72 watts:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00K71 ... ge_o07_s01

I use the 36 watt transformer to power a single Detolf case (16' of white LEDS) and the 72 watt to power two cases.

If you need any help calculating this, feel free to send me a private message!

Thank you very much. Means a lot coming from fellow Funko enthusiasts

Man, so many of these displays make my jealous. Right now I only have 8 ribba shelves from Ikea, which have been discontinued. Now there are Mosslanda shelves in their place, but I don't have the time or funds to get to the store(since you can't order online for some reason).

I wish I had the room for large displays that go on the floor with glass doors etc, maybe someday. In the meantime I'll just keep hopping on here and being jealous of you all! haha.

[bathtub-tigers]

my got pop collection as of late

[jaybros82]

Awesome displays! Gives me a few more ideas for when the room i get to use for my mancave is done.

[jahickory]

Very impressive displays I'm seeing. Do you all prefer in the box or out of the box? Sorry if this isn't the right place to ask.

The Pop! section of my Batman collection:



And for those wondering what the whole wall looks like:

[clashcityrocker33]

Yikes! That's amazing. Bruce Wayne would be jealous of that setup.

Ha! Thanks!

[MorbidGee]

Beautifully awesome!!!

[Poncho Pete]

Outstanding, Rex!

[asilentliaison]

Whooooa! That's truly amazing!

[Rex Mason]

Thanks, everybody!

[shogun]

Here is the first picture of my starter collection. Keep in mind I have only been collecting for 2 weeks now. I hope to have many more within a year.

[shogun]

Very Cool Rex. Love the set up!

[Rex Mason]

Very Cool Rex. Love the set up!

Thanks! This basement/office was the main selling point of the house for me. Plus, my wife loves how all my toys are all tucked away from the rest of the house. It's a win/win for us.

[T-Diamond Stylus]

Wow Rex that's an amazing set up, very envious of your Batman/rogues action figure collection you have.

[Rex Mason]

Very cool, Mr X. I need to get a chase black/yellow oval Batman one of these days.
