Hello all, I need some recommendations for some good wall shelves to put some figures on. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I have hardly any room to put my girls :[
Give this acrylic rack a try. http://amzn.to/d26Rb5
It's aesthetically nice and I think Danny's using it too :)
Thanks! going to see if I can find them on an american website :]
I'm using these from Ikea, they are cheap and easy to install and come in 2 sizes.

You can see the smaller ones on my post here : http://www.figure.fm/post/en/8974/My+new+figure+display.html
wow those look great, thanks!
I have them, they are great! If you can get the longer shelf, there's enough space to stack them back and front. The shorter one is wide enough to hold a single figure.
ahh..they're not available online & theres no Ikea in my state :[ WRRRRRYYYYYY haha ;_;
Here's something similar from Home Depot:

your a life/headache-saver...thank you!
You're welcome! I hope it works out! =)
You could always just go to wallmart, target or k-mart (if they're in your area) on get some cheap shelfs you can take apart for like $15 only problem is it might not be a good idea if you have animals
ahh luckily I don't have to worry about animals >_> thanks!
or you cud also try stackable plastic display cases nyah :3
like the ones i use for my figures. it also keep ur figures nice and fresh |3

I'm curious where do you buy those? That can be super useful for tiny trading figures/gashapon
i just bought them in a local hardware store nyah :3
wah >__________< i forgot the brandname (i'll check it when i get home)>_________< i also found another one that exactly fits a single nendoroid figure nyah :3
Nyah, huh? Reported for RP.
WAAAAAAAAAAH >______________< report me for wat? T^T
The brand name is is Display BOX WORLD by MYTOKA I've bought lots of this from shanghai there is a lot available here even with a 4 staircase one where we could put lots of figures inside.
that's it ^^ that's the brand name nyah ^^
These boxes look so perfect for trading figures, do you know anywhere that sells them to North America? ^^"
thebrand name's Display BOX WORLD by MYTOKA nyah :3
I'm also curious, where did you buy them and for how much? *is also from the Phils*
nyah :3 try Ace hardware or Japan Surplus nyah :3
Did it also have the rack thingie for the nendo puchis? I've only seen the ordinary one in Ace Hdwe. So expensive too! How much is the big case?
ah the rack is re-arrangeable nyah :3 the store shows it in default (flat)
they are 3 blocks of plastic that can be arranged and locked on pegs nyah :3
Oh! They came with the rack too? O_O How come they're all flat when I see them in the store? >>; but still thanks for sharing those pics, I'll hunt for them now X3
ah... i forgot '____' was it 300 php or 400... but it's worth it for me nyah :3 it keeps the dust away as well as it serves as a secondary temperature shield nyah :3 well i usually keep them in cabinets. since, you know... it's very hot here even on rainy seasons nyah :3
nyah>_____< almost forgot nyah O______O congrats on making it to the Otacool3 magazines nyah :3
W-wait? What? I made it? O_O Are you sure you didn't mistake me for someone else? O_O
WAAAAAAAAAH >___________< i'm very sorry nya >___________< someone named named Jovee made it... sorry sorry T______T
anyways, check the box's base platform nyah :3 it should look elevated as compared to the one i used in my queen's blade figure (since i took them off) and the elevated platform is actually 3 seperated horizontal blocks nyah :3
maybe post some pictures of your room so we can make suggestions, it really depends how your space is orientated.
basically the area above the bookcase to the left is where I want to install the shelves. I'd say theres a good 5-6 feet from the top of the bookshelf to the ceiling.
sorry heres the link:

hmmmm... get a new and bigger shelf nyah >_____<
one with glass cover^^ so that the figures won't collect dust nyah :3
concrete walls seems sturdy. but also brittle. if ur still buying a wall shelf
i suggest you find one with loooooooooooong concrete nails nyah :3
but if ur more into style than dust-proof
then i suggest you find a wall shelf made of glass
that way, you cud add some custom lightings beneath them nyah :3
ahh longs nails is a good idea! I will most likely look for a glass shelf...The idea about the lights is also cool!
hmm... have you considered replacing the existing book case with something a bit deeper and taller? Maybe one that you can install glass doors on also. You will be able to get a cleaner look that way.
I was considering that too..maybe a detolf or a taller bookcase..cause this ones so tiny haha
You can take a look at my setup, ALL of my displays are from ikea. The tall wide one is the Billy Series, cheap.. tall.. not too deep, and can mount glass doors and replace all the inner shelfs with glass ones.

your beach detolfs look awesome! This helped narrow the choices down between:
[ ]detolf
[ ]bookcase(tall & narrow)
[ ]wallshelves.
Thanks!
Best of luck with your setup, it's always fun doing displaying shopping for toys ;)
Hallo, seeing as you live the same place I do I suggest going to Home depot and looking at the shelves like Haku1923 post in the first link. They are nice and look pretty easy to install.
ahh home depot? thanks i'll checkt hem out!
also good to know another comrade in LV haha
glad you like the idea :3
I use these:

http://www.containerstore.com/shop/shelvingSale/wallMountedShelving/completeShelfKits?productId=10001028&N=13394&Nao=16
I am using those also ~
I like them because they are lighter than glass.
I use them mainly because they're the least expensive option I've found so far. They can be a bit of a pain to level because the back sometimes gets molded beyond 90 degrees, but with a little effort while putting them up they come out rather nicely.
@Otakusan
yup, it's hard to choose but that makes the end that much more rewarding.(if there will ever be an end >.>")
Thank you everyone for your input. I've got a bunch of ideas now..thankx!
