Lily Arrives, Abused Immediately
Sat 2009/10/17 01:44 JST
So my Saber Lily arrived on Wednesday. I don't have space for her, so I immediately downgraded her to the "bottom feeder" shelf to fight for space with Ashe and Sephiroth.
No reviews from me, but expect a photoshop later in the day. :)
Have you run out of shelf space? Where is your Saber Lily being placed?
Not much extra content other than a buncha nendoroids fooling around, but here's the full post if you're interested:

I've ran out of moneys first ^^;; Wish I coould've gotten her...
I have managed to make a place for her at the top of the shelf. Really nice figure ^_^
I'm thinking about doing the same. But there's nowhere for me to put Asuka Langley on Motorcycle either, so does that mean I have to put her in storage?! No way, I paid a good coin for her too... damn it all. Lily's nothing but trouble. lol
Nothing against your arrangement, but I always die a little inside when I see all that empty space above the figure in a Detolf...
yeah... it seems suitable more for 1:6 scale figures, and figures on an elevated stand. Actually, detolfs were never meant to be figure display shelves to begin with. They're actually quite impractical, but there really is no other sleeker looking option.
I agree with the no other "sleeker" looking option at comparable price but the engineer inside of me simply cannot accept the terrible efficiency that came with the Detolf no matter how sleek it may look. I do have a Detolf and I have dressed it up nicely.

I went with Ikea Billy as my choice of figurine display cabinet and made various improvements afterward, such as adding the Dioder and installing the Dust Shield +1

The downside is I don't get the 360 degree ambient light but that's a small price to pay to increase my display efficiency. Plus, my Billy also serve as my Hikari Photo Studio for my Dollfie Dream Theater (Detolf can't do that :s).
I have arranged a special spot in my display case for Saber Lily. She has been one of the figure highlights for me all year.
I second this. It's really hard to brush aside some of my figures to place her there though.
I never planning to put any figures on the bottom of a display case ever... It kinda feels for they are the ugliest figures kinda thing, running out of space quite fast :(
My saber lily got a special shrine of her own ^^
Yeah, at the bottom of my case are magazines. XD
That's actually not a bad idea!
Well the cool thing is that my detolfs are directly facing stairs going down, so when I go up or down them, I can see the last shelf very clearly.
Still I try not to put figures there. ^_^
Another good point about the deficiency of Detolf, the lower half of the shelve do not provide comfortable viewing angle.
*achem*
Edeferuto's and Scorch&Roses, Braved the weather with dropping swords + Gauntlets on the floor! ^^; Not to mention mud on the skirt and boots.
Mine's still "Inside the Box."
I have a few good ones still inside the box sealed too. I ran out of room, so what can I say. :(
Ditto for now... Though I did save space for her already ^^
Yeah, I should have thought about that. Now she's abandoned in my photoshoot "studio" in the storage room. lol poor Saber Lily.
I ran out of shelf space... orz
Currently she sits on top of my computer. ^^;;
That's actually a pretty good place to put her. Elevated, elegant, graceful.
