  • Here's a video I wanted to do for a long time. I've had a bunch of figures that have been just sitting in a box and needed to be displayed somehow so I came up with this easy cost effective way to get it done while saving on space. In this video I go over what I bought and how I put it all together. Links below for everything in the video.

    Very nice. You know a line I would love to see get turned into MOTU? Anybody else remember Battle Beasts from the late 80's? They had a white lion wearing an eye patch.
    Also those Biker Mice From Mars & that Martian Manhunter "figgurs" were awesome!

    I just commented on an older display tutorial, This is also really useful info, Very cool of you to make these kinds of videos and also including links for the parts, Great idea, but as I said in the video from 8 months ago (that I just watched yesterday) I need another place to live, there's no room to assemble any shelves right now, my place is jam packed and running out of room to display thing, but this video and the other both have excellent ideas for setting things up in a new place whenever i eventually move, Thanks for the info.

    Damn that was freaking amazing! N those Customs R insane. Loved that Harley Quinn Teela custom. BTW 4 any1 who wants really good cheap displays I rec at WalMart in the Kitchen appliance departments they got these cheap plastic(11 bucks) and cheap wooden(14 bucks or so) 3 row step things that supposed to b used to store UR Kitchen seasonings N they work excellent for actions figures. They look kinda like these sorta but no assembly. U wont be able to put as many as on these since they R only 3 rows vs 4 n not as wide, but for they work great. U can put on shelfs or tables or U can even drill em to UR wall or even use heavy duty command strips n mount em on UR walls n will hoid em guaranteed.
