The bad news is that it's already nearly full...looks like I may be getting another in the near future.

Looks great! I have those cases aswell

I really like it a lot. Did you install any lighting in yours? I was debating doing that in mine.

I did not, but maybe one day I will get around to it. Seen a couple with lighting and it looks great

If you want to see, I managed to get 100 Pops in each case and set up some lighting. They're in my gallery. I'd say with a little work you can add a lot more in your case to maximize space.

I see the pictures in your gallery. It looks great! What did you use for those risers? Are they homemade or purchased from somewhere?

All homemade. Using foam board, razor blades, a box of tiny flat head nails, with time and patience. The material cost for the 3 cases cost me under 100 $\:D/$

Awesome. Was about to spend $$$ on acrylic risers at the container store, may go this route instead!

^ nice display

Postby **TempestAvery** » Tue Jul 21, 2015 10:42 am

Running out of space so I had to turn most of them. Keeping my GoT wall the way it is though for as long as possible. Still haven't gotten most of the latest series, been busy collecting other stuff, but other than that just need Headless Ned and the Glow in the Dark White Walker.

Got a couple more on another shelf, but don't have a picture. I'm thinking about trying to get shelves for the wall above the wardrobe and entertainment center. Might make a little more room. What do you guys think?

I recently had to rearrange some of my Pop figures to make room for some new ones along with other collectibles. Still working on my Marvel, but I finally finished my Batman/Bat-Family/DC Corner. The pictures doesn't do it any justice. but hope you enjoy! $\:D/$

Current Freddy display and decided the Freddy standee I have from #funkopoptees also serves as a great way to mark sections of my collection. I think I will use the 8 Bit Freddy standee for my Games Pop! and Bowling Ball Daryl for my TWD section

Great SW collection! Risers would make it look even better. Good idea

Finished building my 4th case. Ran out of foam board unfortunately for the bottom areas. That will be next week's project

Really great displays! Bought my detolf shelf this past weekend, glass slipped as I was assembling it and BAM, shattered into 1 million pieces SMH.

Love the lights in the detolf.

Amazing Kimchi! You build them from scratch? Need me some of those babies.

Postby **zOnesTarX** » Thu Jul 23, 2015 8:28 am

So nice with the lights, might have to add those to mine. Great collection!

Beautiful Kimchi, just beautiful! My gf and I are building a hobby room in my attic and I will be adding two of the same Ikea cases you're using for Pop's (I already have two downstairs with models displayed in them). You probably already mentioned this somewhere in the thread so I apologize in advance for making you repeat it, but are you lighting the cases with rope lights or strip LEDs?

Postby **allonsy_slayergirl** » Thu Jul 23, 2015 4:58 pm

Holy crap!! That's like, the most amazing Pop display I've ever seen!! Definitely what I imagine my dream Pop display to look like! YOWZA!! Nice, Kimchi!

Postby **Poncho Pete** » Thu Jul 23, 2015 5:04 pm

Well done, Kimchi!

Postby **meeshabeth** » Thu Jul 23, 2015 5:20 pm

Amazing display, kimchi! =D>

I've gotten some new ones recently, as well as a Titan figure from a subscription box so I figured I'd let him join the display too lol

. I was a little sad that I had to display my Supernatural ones normally since I got yet another one, instead of having the autographs visible but oh well. I could have put one of them on a different shelf but that would have bugged me.

FullCollection072315.jpg

And I just realized that you can't see my GoT Mystery Minis or Pocket Pop in this pic. Oh well.

Oh, and in case anyone wonders, the ones that are in the boxes are ones that I'm currently looking to sell or trade so didn't see any point in displaying them out of box.

Postby **Kimchi Pasta** » Thu Jul 23, 2015 6:00 pm

Thanks so much for the compliments everyone!
Yes, all the shelves were done me. Just slicing up foam board at the right dimensions to get 5 rows per section. As you can see there's not much room for error, but after two attempts it came together just right.

Those lights are LED strips I got off amazon. Very inexpensive. I originally stuck them all on the backside of the units but it was too much on the eyes and casts too much of a shadow. Mounting them on the front side came out much better! The total cost, including the cases, came out just under 500.00. I couldn't think of a way to do it for less than that!

I'm considering swapping out the horizontal shelves for plexiglass. Buying a few huge sheets from Home Depot and putting my Dremel to work. The foam board is starting to warp a little at certain spots from the weight of the Pops. But that'll be a fall season project.

Thanks again...all these compliments made my day!

Hey everyone, I'm new here and I love this thread. So many of you have such awesome displays. Mine is a work in progress but I figured I'd throw a rough shot up here so you can see how it's shaping up. I just won a Rocky Balboa on eBay, waiting to stick him next to Apollo. I hope to keep seeing more great collections!

Postby **nikko** » Thu Jul 23, 2015 9:03 pm

Wow Kimchi!! I need to find time to organize my shelf!
