Display Recommendation for Smaller Funko Products

Great things come in mysterious miniature or pint sized packages, but which great thing will it be? It's all a mystery until you open one. Then the fun begins.

Display Recommendation for Smaller Funko Products

Postby ryminsquest » Thu Jun 15, 2017 7:19 pm

Hey everyone!

So I've recently gone crazy for PSH and want to start collecting them pretty regularly. I was looking into cool ways to potentially display them and I came across some folks using old letter press drawers as collectible holders/displays. They're not really big enough for Pops, but mystery minis and PSH seem perfect. I just bought this one on Etsy.

Image

Can't wait to fill it with PSH (and hopefully I'll have 147 of them someday.) :D

Anyway, I thought people who haven't heard of them might be interested in looking into them for their own collections. If you search for Letter Press Drawer on Etsy.com or eBay, you'll see tons of them with all different sizes and different divisions among them (for holding collectibles that vary in size).

The woman I bought mine from is very friendly and actually has another one for sale that would hold a little over 100 PSH. I can send you the link if you're interested.

Cheers,
Ryan

Very interesting Ryan. I'm working on customizing a thread spool shelf for PSH. I've cut off/pulled out the dowels and cut the legs to sit evenly (which I messed up). Once I've got it done I plan on using removable glue dots to hold them on. The one I have holds 60 PSH, but they make one that's twice as tall that'd hold 120. Once I have display area available it's finish the project and post pics.

I have around 150 of them now and they are all in a shoebox. I've become desperate to find a solution.

I have been looking at display cases used for thimble collections, but they are 75 bucks on amazon and only hold 100 psh. I already will need 2. I might try to make something.

Foam board, hot glue, and a picture frame/shadowbox maybe?

I hear you on cost vs amount it holds. I paid a bit more for this one, but the difference was that it holds about 50 more, cause I know myself and that in a year I'll have a ton of these things. :D

I like it. Looks good. That would look great in an office or kids room too.

that's an great way to re-purpose something. This may just be my ignorance on the topic of letter press drawers but is that where they would store the movable type pieces in? If so is there still residual ink that could rub off? Or am I reading too much into the name of the item and it's something totally different?

I used a couple of these: https://www.michaels.com/studio-decor-c ... 24309.html for Pint Size Heroes. They work pretty well except for some of them that have hats or big hair pieces.

I use these: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0106XYZ8I/ for Mystery Minis. Sometimes the bigger minis don't fit well, but they look really nice.

That's a great question. Being that it is very old, I'm sure the ink is no longer an issue, but I will definitely check/clean it before putting the psh in there. Thanks!

A letter press drawer... I never would have thought of that!
That would look so neat filled up, I might have to look into finding one myself..
Thanks for this! :cheers:

Glad I posted it here. Wasn't sure if anyone would be interested. It seems like a great solution for all kinds of small collectibles. \:D/
