How do you display your Mystery Minis?
Haven't seen a thread devoted to minis displays so figured I'd start one.
After having minis stashed all over the place I went to Michael's & picked up one of those shot glass display cases. Painted it white to match my shelving (plus I think they look better against white than black which absorbs light/color) and voila! Most fit inside the case pretty well, only a few that did not (Alien Queen & Bruce). I need to cut some foam core risers for the bottom row otherwise I am pretty happy with the results.
Curious if anyone had a better solution before I pick up another case, it filled up fast!

I've used those displays and similar ones that don't have the divider so they can be together. I also use bookshelves and glass display cases to show my collections as well.

Great idea. I'm going to Michael's tomorrow to check out. I usually just display them on a shelf.
I am not in danger, I am the danger! A guy opens his door and gets shot and you think that of me? No. I am the one who knocks!

Re: How do you display your Mystery Minis?
I struggle...the pieces are getting bigger over the years, so I've found it difficult to have a standard display.

Good timing, looks like today/tomorrow they are 50% off with another 20% off using the app or website coupon! I am swinging by after work for another one.
Might grab one of these too for some of the larger Mystery Minis like Alien Queen, Cthulu, Bruce...

That is absolutely brilliant! Can't wait to give this a try for my minis!

Re: How do you display your Mystery Minis?
Mine are sort of scattered all over my room right now but this is an awesome thread! I can't wait to see what other people have so maybe I can get some ideas for my own. I really like the cases Joe is using, and also the shot glass ones.

Do they come with the steps in them too? Or is it just the case?

Enjoy them! They do have their draw backs.... you can't fit bigger sets like Disney villains in one case, they are cheap plastic, but sure do look nice! If one falls over - everyone should run away from you because the anger is real!

Re: How do you display your Mystery Minis?
I put mine on the wall using a nail polish rack! Here's one of them (the others are not as organized yet since I haven't completed the other sets). They don't all fit (like Merida) but it works pretty well for me so far.

I did pick up one of these last weekend. Started painting it last weekend, weather permitting I will finish it up this weekend. Looks to be a nice size for some of the bigger mini figures, I will post a picture when all done.
