They're sturdy, easy to make and easy to customize if you have a different sized space (as I do). All credit goes to Wes (Vinyl4Blood) for the design, I am just a humble reposter.Vinyl4Blood wrote:Some of you have asked bout the risers I use inside my Detolf cases. They aren't anything special, but I think they work great, and they are pretty cheap... .compared to collecting pops anyway. I've been saying that I'll make a little tutorial once I finally get around to making more of them. I've been procrastinating, but I finally got around to building 12 new risers for my wife's Detolf cabinets. I based the design off the popular foam-board versions, found all over the internet that many of you use. I've never really been happy with how the foam-board versions turn out, and I wanted to use something a little stiffer that won't dent under the weight of the pops.
I switched to using 1/8" hardboard about 2 years ago, and was cutting them out on my CNC router, but have been having some issues with that lately, so I decided to cut these versions by hand. There are 4 levels, and they are short enough to leave room for pops between the risers and the door, so pops can sit on the glass shelf, giving you 5 rows of 6 pops each.
The risers are 9 1/2 inches deep, and 14 inches wide, so they fit perfectly inside an Ikea Detolf Case.
You can spray paint them if you like, but my wife likes the wood look, so they are au-naturale.
Each riser holds approx 30 OOB Pops, depending on their size.
or approx 35 Dorbz.
That translates into a Detolf case being able to hold about 150 OOB Pops.
My basic instructions:
Unit statement: Since I live in the US, I use feet and inches. So all of my measurements are in inches.
First, I start with a 24x48x1/8 inch "Hardboard sheet" from Home depot. About $5 per sheet. Each sheet gives me 2 riser units. So they end up costing about $2.50 for each shelf, or $12.50 for a set of 5 to use inside a Detolf case. You might be able to find a 24 x 24 sheet at your local store. A sheet of hardboard usually has one smooth side, and one VERY rough/waffle-like side. Obviously, you want the smooth side facing outward. Plus, the rough side loves hot glue.
Home Depot UPC for wood:
I start by drawing the Sides (stringers) and Slats (risers & steps) onto the board using a Drywall Square to make sure everything is nice and straight.
I then use a Band-Saw to cut out the shapes. If you don't have a Band-Saw, you can use a Jig-Saw or Scroll-Saw.
Tip #1: I can't make a straight cut if my life depended on it. So I add an extra 1/16" to my slat widths making them 2 7/16" wide instead of 2 3/8" wide. Then I use my sander to take out any wavey cuts I make and straighten them up.
Tip #2: When cutting the sides (stringers) you can lay two pieces of wood on top each other, tape them together (rough-side to rough-side) so they don't move, then cut them both at once. This guarantees your two sides are identical.
Once my pieces are all cut, I start building the risers.
Hot-Glue the Risers (vertical slats) to the Stringers (sides) first.
Then Hot-Glue the steps (flat slats) to the sides and top of the verticals.
The front of the step (blue in pic below) should align with the face of the riser. (green in pic below)
Once it's all glued, flip it over, and put a large dab of glue in each corner, and the middle of each long run. ... or anyplace you feel you want more glue. You can't use too much.
That's it. Place your Pops & Dorbz however your OCD desires.

My question is, what risers do everyone use and where do you buy them? I know some people build them, but I am by no means handy or crafty nor do I have the resources to build them even if I wanted to try.
Hi Stu, I went to my local hardware store and bought cheap non-structural pine timber wide enough for the pop!s to fit on, check for straightness (you want the piece of timber as straight as possible). Just measure the length of your bookshelf and the hardware store maybe able to cut the pieces to length that you want (small fee??). I screwed them together but you don't have to. Paint them white (a few coats) to make the pop!s stand out and stack them to fit. I have done this for all my Star Wars figures and Pop!s. Good luck and post pics.
As a Star Wars fan...these pictures brings me joy! I'm loving the display and pops!

I got the Ikea shelf put up a couple weeks ago and finally took some Pops out of the box. I am finishing up my origanization. Purging the office of stuff so that I can have more room to display. I can get real OCD on how things look. So this is always subject to change.
Sorry about the darkness of the Pic. I literally took this around 1:00am.

Rancor wrote:Spoiler: show
are the shelves from IKEA?[/quote]
Yes, they are Billy bookcases with MORLIDEN glass doors. If you adjust the doors correctly there is minimal dust. You can also get extra shelves if required. Because of the stands on Star Wars Pop!s, I can fit them 3 deep without it looking too crowded. The LED lights are from eBay and because it gets hot where I live, I decided to use cable clips and some type of foam packaging to hold the LED strip in place as the double sided tape would not hold up.
Great displays from all you Funko Funatics.
ah great tip !

Thank you! I'm using black lights as you can see. It doesn't hold the glow as much as white lights do, but they do make them glow, so I like it.

I have all kinds of display(^^; For the oob ones on a shelf, I simply use a duster to dust off just like an in-box display. If you are lazy to go one by one, just put them in a glass case so that all you have to do is dusting off the top of the case.
I have a pop in my bathroom and another in the kitchen. Those get a water/oil stain, so I wipe them with a cloth using handmade all purpose cleaner

I'm aware of the baseball bat display case from Michaels, which I really like, wondering what other options there are available? Forgive me for asking, there are over 10,000 posts in this thread though...
Kiners_funatic wrote:hailmary25 wrote:With a duster I am sure you have to pick each one up right? Cant just dust like you do a shelf or you would knock over.
In my case though, I don't put all of my oob pops together. I used to do that on stairs, and it was very easy to knock over one and another and another.... it was very frustrating and also I got scared to damage my popsSo far about 20% of my pop collection is oob (because I need to grab more shelves), and I sort them by series.
My biggest oob series is I would say StarWars, but they have their own sturdy base that I'm not worried about falling.
The second biggest is Spiderman series. This is my husband's favorite series and we have quite a lot, so we put them in a glass case to protect from any dusts and damages.
Other series that are oob, I make sure not to put too many pops on a shelf it's because it looks better anyway in my preference.
I don't know if I'm allowed to put my IG account here, nor know how to upload pictures here... so I need to figure it out how I actually display them.
