Store them on the top shelf of your closet. That helps with the dust. Not all of it, but most!

Ikea has some good shelving with glass doors for relatively cheap (Under $200 for a 7ft tall and 30inch wide) The baseball bat cases from Marshalls is a good display option too. They hold about 10-12 depending on size and if you wait for a deal, they can be snagged up for $20-25.

I can attest to the baseball bat cases. Got 15 pops in one of mine. They're almost perfect for out of box display.

The only thing I don't like about them is depending on how you hang them, the bottom is at a slight angle and my heavier headed pops easily fall over because it's not 100% level. It's super irritating but at least they don't fall far when they do lose their balance.
Just get a thing called mounting tape. I think 3M makes it. It's kinda like a dense foam with a type of glue on each side. Stick a little of that along the bottom edge in back while your hanging the cases and it'll both level it out and provide a bit extra hold on the wall.
Edit... a few different companies make it, but it's this sort of thing...

Taking every single one of them down was not an enjoyable experience . I will try anything. Thanks

Thanks!! I showed my sister and she pretty much said that it was creepy (the shelving, the pops, everything), so I'd thought I'd share it with people who understand the excitement for new shelving!

How big was the one you got 15 in?

Some people just don't understand.
I get a little nervous when people come over to our house and see all the shelves around. Coming to terms that it's ok that not everyone gets it and being ok that my hobby may seem a bit strange to others will take some getting used to.

I totally get that. It took me some time to fully embrasse my passion for Pops even if I have always been sort of a geeky girl.
Now, I just don't care. All my bedroom walls are covered in Pops, I am starting to have some displays in other rooms to be able to fully admire my figurines OOB. My friends can look at them... or not, it is not my problem.
Fortunately, I am lucky enough to have friends who don't judge and who love me for what I am (some will even look out for Chases for me whenever they come accress Pops!).
Collecting Pops has been making me happy since I started so I don't intend to stop. And it made me part of this great community.

Luckily, I haven’t had any serious judgement. I just tend to overly worry. I have a friend that likes to give me a hard time and threaten to hold an intervention for my husband and I. But it’s not a little daunting to come into our living room and see the wall space covered in pops. It’s more of an anxiety thing when less close relatives come over that haven’t seen the place in awhile. Grandparents tend to speak their mind a little too opening.
This community is great and collecting is a joy in my life so there is no way I’ll stop. I’ll just stop inviting naysayers over.

A lot of my friends like to pull my chain about it but they ultimately know it's like any other hobby. New people that come over to the house through friends though, I think I've only ever had one person who was like genuinely concerned I was a hoarder or something.TheStephil wrote:MymyChan wrote:

Thanks.
I had been looking since January for a nice way to display them other than aligned on a shelf.
I watched a video on Admiral Funko’s YouTube channel last Friday. She was doing a similar thing but with key chains pops and I thought: this is what I have to do!
Went to Ikea on Saturday and set to work today and ... voilà!
Makes me want to make more now

Very cool display! Well done! How are the Pops staying in place? What exactly did you use/buy from IKEA?

i think from the youtube video that was mentioned, they are hot glued in place. I could be mistaken though.
Definitely going to do this with my 2019 advent calendar minis.

Yes, they are hot glued. I can confirm that hot glue does not damage them, as shown in the video.
I can’t wait to see yours now!
@Stush: I bought the RIBBA frame from IKEA.
I am thinking about doing a few more like that mystery minis. I have so much pleasure doing and looking at this one.

The only setback to having them in the top shelf in your closet is that you can't see them. But at least they are dust free!

The dust struggle is real! I also have some LEGO sets i can't wait to build, but dusting those is worse than Pop!s!...so those are still in the box too!

IKEA is great for that. Lots of cool stuff that could be used for displays.
