They're just the standard 5 shelf bookcases from Target. I bought an extra one to use for extra shelves.

Love those. For some reason, the thought never occurred to me to buy an extra one for extra shelves. Too bad they don't just sell the extra shelves...although I suppose those wouldn't be terribly hard to make yourself.

So to all you inbox collectors, how do you display your 6inch Pops!? .... If you go back a few pages you can see my collection, I stack them in rows/collums of 10 (My shelf can fit exactly 100 boxes).
I got my first 6inch Pop! today (Big Daddy) I had no idea the box was a stupid size haha, I thought it was going to be two regular sized boxes wide/high. So now I can't stack my boxes in a neat 10x10 grid.
I might have to become an out of box collector, but I find the boxes look really nice stacked, storage wise it saves space, and sometimes the boxes picture has more detail than the actual toy itself (Kratos' blades, Mike Ehrmantraut has forehead lines etc.)

Ideas?

Hello Launchpad54,

Please could you tell me what bookcase that is and where is it from ?

Thanks !
Stephen

Hey, I'm new here and I started collecting as of this past Tuesday, October 27th! To be honest i don't really know what ones i want or how I'm going to collect them. For now, i don't like the bobble head ones. I really wanted to buy a lot of the marvel ones but i realized (and now know why, shout to funkofunatics!) that they were all bobble heads I guess I'll just figure it out as I go hahaha. I need to go buy some cool displays like most of you guys have so once I get around to it I'll keep you guys updated!

my noob collection so far....

Welcome! Nice collection so far. The best piece of advice....collect what you like, not necessarily what 's new or trendy. You'll get a lot more satisfaction looking at ones you enjoy instead of ones you bought because everyone else is buying them.

yeah just buy what you like and stick to a theme so you don't end up with a pile of 200 figures unless that's what you really want. I found the opposite with the bobbles, my collection in the first post at the top of the page only has one bobble in it, the groot (and c3po nor shown). All the rest of mine are vinyls.

Awesome displays everyone! I recently decided to add some shelves to be a little more uniform in the room and use up more vertical space. This is where I am at so far.

If you actually ate food I would say lets meet for lunch then.

But if you just want your pop you can drive to me on your day off. :stitch:

OMG Kimchi, that is awesome!!!

I have yet to get the IKEA display case but I hope to do so soon. Are you planning on installing the same LED lights? Also, have you ever tried out the strip dark lights for your GITD's?

nikegolfer, I believe that Kimchi makes his own risers using foam poster board.

Thanks, I think I might convert to OOB but haven't made the leap. I will mostly keep my star wars collection in box. Everything else might go into the Detolf cases.

Postby **HPLove** » Tue Nov 03, 2015 7:05 pm

Beautiful set up Kimchi! My fav row is the GoT row where they each have mini versions right next to them. So cool.

Postby **Kimchi Pasta** » Tue Nov 03, 2015 10:50 pm

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!

@HPLove, GoT is my baby! Thank you! I'm waiting on Ramsey, which is my only missing one at this point. Gamestop screwed up several times getting him to me and supposedly it's getting overnighted by them for tomorrow.

I"ll throw in a quick update pic when the lighting is done on the 5th tower. ( Also going to look into these dark lights that FunkoNinja suggested). A little bit of thought will be necessary about how to attack setting up the risers for the 6" Pops and the bigger automobiles. The foam board will likely not support the weight. Plus I'm getting bored with chopping up the same ole risers!

I think I'm going to start the journey of converting the foam board material into acrylic soon. My local home depot sells big sheets of acrylic and my Dremel has been collecting dust for quite some time. Getting them custom made is WAYYY too expensive for my budget with the quantity I need now.

Can't wait to see your 6" and rides display. What is the thickness of the foam board you are using. Do you have a link of the foam board you bought?

[/quote]Can't wait to see your 6" and rides display. What is the thickness of the foam board you are using. Do you have a link of the foam board you bought?[/quote]

I got them from a local Staples. They were 30" X 40" sheets. Pretty sure they were 3/16" thick.

Postby **ZeoVGM** » Wed Nov 04, 2015 3:00 pm

Ah, you make your own risers.

Does anyone know a good place to buy risers?

Postby **treswright** » Wed Nov 04, 2015 4:35 pm

Wow Kimchi, a 5th case now, awesome! Your setup looks more like a Pop museum all the time :-)

I have 5 as well but they're all over the house and only two have Pops in them (although a 3rd is getting converted).

Some people use those adjustable spice racks from the Container Store, but they're only 3 tier:

There's also these acrylic risers but they're not cheap:

http://www.acrylichomedesign.com/shop/a ... isers.html

I build my own from black foam core, got the idea from Kimchi. They're actually pretty easy and fun to make. After doing a few tiered risers I got a little crazy and started doing custom risers:

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
