Working on my bat cases from Michael's (BOGO last week).

Went from this:


To this:


Still have one more case, with some TV/movie (Harry Potter, TWD) characters that I got since the first pic... the Deadpool and Star Wars are in my son's room. The empty spots at the end of this one have some Spidey villains that I haven't taken from the boxes yet

I really do love those bat cases. Wish they weren't so expensive. I have 100 Pops to display. That would be a lot of cases.

about 4. You can put 13 in, and let's say 13 on top. That's 26. But still, that's $120 on the BOGO deal.

Great displays everyone! Your collections are amazing.

Every so often you can get these baseball bat cases for about $24/ea. The cases are BOGO free or straight 50% more often than not. Every couple of weeks Michael's sends out a coupon for 20% off your entire purchase, including sale items, just sign up for their email list (you'll get one daily ). Sometimes these two deals line up together and while it doesn't make them cheap, it certainly helps! It's money I've never regretted spending, for what it's worth!

This 1 of 50 Freddy is a 12-inch bank created by Rob Schwartz for Funko the Halloween after Brian bought Funko in 2006. I don't know of any of them still being able to talk now due to the age and battery erosion, but it is one of my favorite pieces of Funko I own, mainly due to having not only a larger Freddy, but a Bone Daddy included as well, another of my favorites!! I would imagine these are very difficult to find

Congratulations Bobble on the big, big Freddy! I'm jelly

Got my batgirl chase today! Just waiting on the penguin to complete the set! But here's my updated DC collection!


I've added 3 of the Simpsons pop to my collection!


Added alien and Donald to my Disney!


An finally some non Pop! And a few non funko!

which batman is that with the red eyes

[thejosh2010]

Very nice Josh..love the chase Kiss set!!

[blainewad]

That's a bit narky. Way to be a jerk.

Not sure what narky is, but I was kidding. can't see the pops! Do you put them OOB in front of the box, or are they still in there?

They're still in there to keep dust off and to stop any fading. I may stand them in front of the boxes at some point, but i like the organisation and neatness of them as they are.

i was thinking of a similar setup once i get mine organized, except i'll be adding to the DC portion yours looks great!

It is the original Flashpoint Batman. It was an NYCC exclusive years ago I believe. It costs a pretty penny now but HT is coming out with a new version.

Even though i would love to have the original Flashpoint Batman POP, i'm more than delighted to settle for the new one at $12.50 Thank you HT

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.

Daaaaaaamn Wes looking good! Now I want to redo my risers since I only have 3

haha, ya.. the "first" Detolf case was ok. The wife only wanted me to make 2 for that case. Then she bought another case, and another, and another.. and now we have 7 and need 2 more.... 3 more if I unbox all my Star Wars pops. Now... just how should I display the Ridez?

[Zae05]

Very cool, Wes! I have been thinking of doing something like this, so it is nice seeing different ideas and creations.

I think you need to buy a new house

[Vinyl4Blood]

Very cool, Wes!

Thanks! Now I have to make a bunch of shelves for the walls to put the boxed pops on. Next project...

You have NO IDEA.

[JohnnyPOP]

That's awesome, Wes!! As for displaying rides, I'd tak to Tres. He's got that down for sure

[mohawkjones]

This look sharp Wes! You could sell the pre-cut parts on Etsy, ship them flat with glue instructions and make a nice little profit...

[mohawkjones]

Found a new display solution for my Mystery Mini figures:



Shot glass display case from Michaels that I spray painted matte white. Kind of a pain to spray paint with the glass & the dividers but it matches my shelves better plus black absorbs light and the figures get lost against the black IMO. Fits most of my minis pretty well except Alien Queen & Bruce. Just need to cut some foam core to make risers for that bottom row to help lift them up to the door frame edge.

[thejosh2010]

Congratulations Shawn!! I love that display! Wicked!!!

Wow! The case really looks great painted white. Your Minis stand out in there nicely. Excellent work!

Been a bit since Ive posted but the shelves have grown. I only collect Marvel now, and finally my shelves have personality!! Still not 100% satisfied with it but its tons better than it was. Needs lighting now and maybe some backgrounds against the wall.
