I’ve had ModUCases for almost 2 years and they were HANDS DOWN the best collecting decision I’ve ever made... I collect Statue’s and Hot Toys and when I say zero dust gets in, I mean it... on top of that they look UNREAL, I see the same collection everyday I come home from work and smile every single time! Anyone about to purchase these it’s wise to purchase at minimum twice as many cases as you think you need, they take 6+ months to ship so you don’t want to run out of room by the time you get your shipment. I have 10 DF 120’s and only have half that filled up, and just know they are worth EVERY PENNY!
Appreciate the video. I’m learning that collecting isn’t just a hobby, it’s a lifestyle with long term commitment. It’s tough trying decide between displayability (open air with 360 all around view) and preservation (glass cases with limited view). Either way, it’s a serious investment if you want your statues lasting the longest.
I've used ikea detolf cases in the past. Never heard about moducases before this video. Really like the look. Looking into it now - I'll tell them 'Mr. X sent me' regardless lol.
I mainly use Moducases. I have 2 DF120s, 2 DF130s, 3 Max140s, 1 Max150, 1 Max 70 and 3 custom cases as well as some custom modifications. You can also request risers, wall mounting brackets, additional weight bearing modifications, mirrored backing, and led strips or spotlights. They have also introduced a couple of new lines and recently saw some experimental boxed lighting they are working on. The main drawback, other than price, for Moducases, is their delivery time. I know they are working to improve that but I believe the current average wait time is around 6-8 months to receive your order. With that said, they are easy and great to work with if you have specific needs.
So I'm just starting to get into statue/figure collecting and happened to find moducases; ironically this video popped up in my feed the next morning. It was a great review and I will be going with moducases once I've got a couple of collectibles. I know they are expensive and I know that I am still new to this type of hobby but I know I do not want to buy cheap tables to display what will be my collection.
I’m so happy that this aired today. I asked this exact question today on the statue collectors Facebook page and everyone said IKEA but I don’t have one near me and the shipping is backlogged due to the virus. This helped a bunch!
I use the Besta brown cabinets which holds at least 40 pounds per shelf. I like them because I can adjust the shelves but the downside is they don't make the clear doors for them anymore. They make doors but they have big borders on them now which can impede the sight of the statue pending on how tall your statue is. Also since there are no doors, they get dusty and it shows because the cabinets are dark brown. I periodically dust because of this. Thanks so much for sharing Mr X. 👍🏿
Presentation is everything. I just can't comprehend why anyone would use those industrial ones. I see a few other collectors on youtube with those too and they all make your incredible statues look underwhelming. Those should be in your garage holding your toolboxes and garden hoses. It's like someone parking a Ferrari in the driveway of their mobile home.
I'm brand new in building my display right now. I think the first option may be what I end up going with. This was a great video that gave a lot of ideas.
I personally like and go for the “industrial” look. I have various wall clear-coated oak/pine shelvings with flat black heavy duty brackets. I also use metal cabinets and workbenches. It goes with the theme of my collection, Alien and Predator. ModuCases are awesome though, definitely nice-looking...definitely a must if you have various lines of different characters.
Great info. I buy a lot of my shelving from estate sales and garage sales. You can get a great deal on nice high end shelving for a fraction of the cost of new.
I have 7 Statues on PO, 3 of which are Prime 1, 1/3 scale. I’ve quoted Max Moducases, but I’ve committed so much to Statue PO’s, that now I need to wait to place the Moducase order hahaha... The Joys in Life
Thanks for sharing the information on the cases. It was very helpful as I begin adding to my collection. I purchased unfinished bookcases that I am using right now.
Mr.X could you make a video about the topic of taking care of the statues? Things like how and what to use for cleaning, how to deal with dust and others stuff. I think that would help new collectors a lot
Working on a diy while watching this video. Dressing up those muscle racks you have. Its turning out great, but maaaan it's taking up a lot of time... I do think its going to be well worth it tho! Great video as always sir!
Excellent subject. I go for moducases. Although by the time they typically arrive, I’ve changed my collection. Those things take an eternity to arrive.
I’m waiting on my Moducases I have 4 on order. Taking awhile cause of Covid which is understandable and Bryan is by far one of the best when it comes to customer service
Thank you so much, I just recently got into anime statue collecting and have been looking for more information on what kind of display options are available. I will definitely try the cubes to start off.
I've just run into this exact same dilemma. I don't want to invest in specialty cases that I might outgrow or no longer want/need if I decide to get out of collecting. Great video Mr.X 😎👍
Howdy, Mr. E-h-h-h-h-h-h-x! I’m going to agree with Benji3008 and say that custom shelves are a great way to go. With so many statues, display options are somewhat limited when it comes to Moducases, but if you can afford to create custom shelves and cases/cabinets, you can literally display your statues in any way your imagination allows. I’ve done customs from Cherry wood, mostly because of the amazing strength of that wood. Costs a lot more than many other woods, and you are limited in the size of boards available, but the better carpenters can make it work. This is especially important as we purchase larger statues. We’re not going to fit a 34” XM Studios Transformers statue into a Moducase, so custom cabinetry is a perfect solution, though you can simply stand larger pieces on top of a Moducase. The beauty of the Moducase is the plexiglass that reduces/eliminates most dusting. Then, we get into the issue of backdrops which, in my opinion, finish a display. Will that backdrop be mirrors, framed posters, mounted comics? Then, of course, there’s lighting. Strip lighting, puck lighting, up lighting, down lighting, etc. Yeah, this ‘simple’ collecting thing starts off simple and becomes a quagmire of decisions. With custom shelving and cabinetry, including moldings, lighting and backdrops, your price can escalate quickly, but you get what you want to fit perfectly into your space. If you’re a Star Wars 1/4 scale collector and you want 4 Stormtroopers fanned out behind Darth Vader, you’re looking at a need for very deep shelving, or you’re looking at a custom arm (from iron.......not wood, unless you’re begging for an accident when that wooden arm snaps) so that Vader can stand out from his protection squad. When you graduate to 1/3 or 1/2 scale pieces, you literally find yourself with another challenge of finding cabinetry that can fit their size AND hold their weight. So, Mr. X is correct in recommending the shelving he uses for larger, heavier items, though they are visually uninspiring. There is probably a way to attach wood moldings to those shelves to give them a custom look to go along with their amazing second-to-none strength. Possibilities are only as endless as your imagination......and bank account! 😊 This video is one of the better “instruction/information” videos, so a huge thanks to Mr. X!
Having a display case not only protects your investments but it makes them look 10x better. I see a lot of collectors with tons of expensive statues but shitty cases.
Thanks! I was trying to figure out how to display my 1/4 statues. I don't have much. BUT!! wow. I really like your Beast Wars statues. Megatron over Dinobot is amazing
i myself use shelfs from Ikea. forgot their name but got good space, looks good and very strong :D great vid once more :D PS: Cant wait for a new video of you showing of your collection room (roomtour) hope for one soon :D
This video was super helpful! Definitely glad to see something for prime 1 transformers, Just ordered my first few during the Prime 1 winter sale, will definitely be checking out the one from walmart!
Have two DF 120's but pre ordered a custom one for my xm Thanos with lady death. Then went and got a custom wall max for my berserk pieces. So yeah heavily invested in moducases but they are worth it and Bryan is awesome from there.
I have 4 detolf display shelves but they’re only good for lighter weight items. Saw a collector’s glass shelves disaster having too much weight from statues result. Moving to new digs, I may get garage shelves and moducases... maybe slowly start getting due to my budget. Some Home & Garden cubes could work. Pedestals are another option but pricier next to moducases. Thanks for the vid. 😊
I've started switching over to Moducases. I have four MAX140 units two wide and two tall with more on order and love them. I have some Bestas and PAX units as well and will slowly transition those out and replace them with moducases. The PAX units are descent if the shelves are reinforced and lighting installed
Nice tip for the cube. I'll have to check them out. I personally love the Edsals for one reason. They're sturdy and can hold its weight. Last thing I ever want is a statue fatality. Personally, I think some of them look great.
I build a show case out of old windows on a home someone was tossing I build a cube out of wood and put the window where it slides open to put stuff in it if I wanted to I could have put glass side's. Where I have the case at I can see every thing inside of it. Everyone that comes in I see there eye's just wandering around taking in EVERYTHING in. I enjoy collecting stuff the right stuff
Lol I get my display cases from ikea and walmart. They are fairly affordable. Great video, aside from just collectible statues, it's good to discuss display cases and such to put them bad ass pieces on lol. Keep up the great content bro..
I was about to drop a message about those cubes. I do like them and they look pretty good. I have Gladiator Garage works on order. Taking 4ever for them to ship. 90 by 90 / 24 deep. Placed the order May 4th and still hasn’t gone out. Funny I bought it for the garage and now it’s for statues. 👍🏻
The moducase is by far the best looking but that price is high when I have to save up forever for a statue lol . appreciate the info going to look at all the options I have
I have 2 max140 plus Moducases coming soon and on the verge of ordering 2 more. These look great and I first saw MrX showcase a smaller one so I did some research and was like "yeah, I gotta get these"
I think I'm going to try out that garage shelves in black with led spot lights LEDs for my small collection. Theres a dude on youtube who bought 2 and made them look light expensive shelves boxes like the ones you have that costs $300. 😁👍
I use the garage shelves “Husky” brand from Home Depot. Very similar to the Edsel ones you showed. They come in black or red with mesh shelves. I buy thin 1/8 inch wood, paint it the steel color to cover the metal mesh shelves.
Just started collecting and I’ve bought five 1:4 scale and preordered one more 1:4 and I’m getting three 140max plus cases. It’s about 6500 in statues and 1800 in cases. It hurts but they will be gorgeous when it’s all set up.
I really dig the moducases but i hear they take quite a bit too come in so i recently just had custom acrylic cubes created for a couple of my pieces. The moducases really make your statues pop as they take your display too another level.
it’s crazy how ill watch a video and want to ask you a question and then boom the man the myth drops the video to answer my question :) respect thanks for the video
I much prefer open air/ museum look on the top with cabinets underneath. I've only been collecting for a month but what I came up with is ; Purchase a well built 4 drawer dresser/chest. Big lots for instance. I went with the Andover espresso. Its built sturdy and looks nice. I didn't install the drawers nor track rails. Obviously the middle shelf piece is there for balance and a platform to set your 1:6 pieces in. I custom painted that shelf because its beige as well as the support panels that are nailed into the back of the dresser. Get a few L brackets or anything to prevent bowing and to prevent swaying with heavier pieces. I use dimming wireless puck lights that change colors as you please. My plan ultimately was to be able to set a larger p1 piece on the top and one at the bottom eventually. To me, having no glare and seeing a piece 360 degrees is what's important. I use miniature spotlights as well and even painted the lenses on some of them to really add to the mood. Some pieces I prefer natural white light and some I prefer color. As far as enclosed casing, I'm not a big fan because the statue loses somewhat of the aura.
Great display options, sadly I don't have the space for those displays cases, so I buy custom acrylic cases and I put them on shelves on the wall... and now I have officially expanded my collection to the dinning room and I need more cases.
I have a combination of Muscle Racks (garage shelves) for larger statues, IKEA Bestas with glass doors, and IKEA Detolfs for 1:6 scale figures. Personally, I like the simple garage shelves. I like the 'industrial' look which matches my overall room aesthetic and I like putting multiple statues together and seeing them 'unframed' (and never having to worry about the weight). 👍✌
I have curios but those mainly house 1/6 and a few 1/4. They look great because they match other home decor but are just as expensive as Moducase without the ability to hold more weight as the glass shelves hold about 25lbs. I have shelves for other 1/4 and a couple moducase on the way.
Great video as always sir. I didn't know about those cubes, seems like the are sold out most places. I'm in Canada here so will be harder to get i'm sure. I'm most likely just going to build my own since I have the wood. I can build the whole room up and as strong as I want for the big P1 pieces. It will be just like some of the others all 3 walls and all white with top lighting or even something like your Amazon lights why not. Also Jetfire makes me totally jealous when I see it. Don't let it hit the floor like that other guy did!.
I made a custom display units but I am saving up moducase I think it will just add that something special in the collect. No visitors can touch them which is a add bonus once they are in the case
I feel you bro. My wife was getting frustrated with statues everywhere, so I cleaned out the basement (ugh, gross) and made room for two industrial shelving units. bought some inexpensive lcd lights and I'm using posters for the background. I still have a case with Batman in the living room and 4 Avengers in the bedroom, but everything else is in the basement.
You can get plastic milk creates they leave behind store's and decorate them to display your stuff, I made my display case out of a window someone was tossing I build a cube and installed the window it slides open to put stuff in

Your collection is looking really organized. Nice work! The mix of different display shelves look cool.

Honestly I love the look of the cubes. There are also always great diy shelf tutorials online which allow you way more flexibility at the lowest cost.

Custom shelving is amazing - but cheap and sturdy does the job as well.
I've been looking to get some Moducases for a while. Thanks for doing this video and showing the different sizes and stuff!!
Thanks for sharing the information on the cases. It was very helpful as I begin adding to my collection. I purchased unfinished bookcases that I am using right now.
Thank you so much for this video. This is something I have been scouring the internet for and this was a very informative look at what I need.
Thank you for making me aware of the moducases. Didn't know they exist. Again thanks a ton for this tip👀💪💪💪
Mr.X could you make a video about the topic of taking care of the statues? Things like how and what to use for cleaning, how to deal with dust and others stuff. I think that would help new collectors a lot
This is perfect for me. I have been trying to figure out exactly what I needed. Thanks, man.
Working on a diy while watching this video. Dressing up those muscle racks you have. Its turning out great, but maaaan it's taking up a lot of time... I do think its going to be well worth it tho! Great video as always sir!
I plan to get lighting done in next few months on them and hopefully backs and front acrylic
I started with Ikea stuff and graduated to Moducase. I they're great and worth the money the cost is minimal compared to the collection cost.
Excellent subject. I go for moducases. Although by the time they typically arrive, I’ve changed my collection. Those things take an eternity to arrive.
I like the better home and garden cube with the lights
My statue collection is vicarious through you. But who knows, maybe later on. Thanks for the reviews and explanations. GOD Bless as always Brother!
I’m waiting on my Moducases I have 4 on order. Taking awhile cause of Covid which is understandable and Bryan is by far one of the best when it comes to customer service
Thank you so much, I just recently got into anime statue collecting and have been looking for more information on what kind of display options are available. I will definitely try the cubes to start off.
Nice to see different budget options
I have one thing too say about that beast wars megatron statue "YESSSSSS!"
Now I know what to get. Thanks Mr X.
We have nice size fish tanks so going to use those because my collection is nothing like yours lol‼️Thanks for the tips‼️
Nice. Was thinking about those cases.
I've just run into this exact same dilemma. I don't want to invest in specialty cases that I might outgrow or no longer want/need if I decide to get out of collecting. Great video Mr.X 😎👍

How haven't I seen this already I've watched all your videos🤣🤣🤣....Great video 👏👍
Thanks for the info and the links. I actually don’t have any statues but one day hopefully I will

Thanks! I was trying to figure out how to display my 1/4 statues. I don't have much. BUT!! wow. I really like your Beast Wars statues. Megatron over Dinobot is amazing
your channel is my go to as a past time activity - thank you Mr X !
I appreciate it
I’m going to try Besta from IKEA but this video was really helpful.
And here I was thinking I was the only one using the better homes and gardens cubes for my collection. Such great cost to performance.
I really like the Walmart ones, you can get pretty creative with the placement of them
The video I wanted but didn't know I needed.
Handy little video! Thanks Mr. X!
Gotta pick up some moducases. They look good 👌
i myself use shelfs from Ikea. forgot their name but got good space, looks good and very strong :D great vid once more :D PS: Cant wait for a new video of you showing of your collection room (roomtour) hope for one soon :D
This video was super helpful! Definitely glad to see something for prime 1 transformers, Just ordered my first few during the Prime 1 winter sale, will definitely be checking out the one from walmart!

Nice tip for the cube. I'll have to check them out. I personally love the Edsals for one reason. They're sturdy and can hold its weight. Last thing I ever want is a statue fatality. Personally, I think some of them look great.
Great show, thanks!
Those Moducases look cool....I'll have to look into getting some...
Thanks for the info. I am going to look at the WalMart ones for a section of my room. I currently have Ikea shelving.
I love those deeper cases
honestly needed this video
Cool video!! Thx for sharing!!
Going to be getting some of those walmart cubes. Thanks for the info!
I build a show case out of old windows on a home someone was tossing I build a cube out of wood and put the window where it slides open to put stuff in it if I wanted to I could have put glass side's.

Cool display options! But those Custom shelves that Half-Fast Reviews made were insane. You should totally hire him for some custom shelves, haha.
This is the video I was waiting for!
I use Home Depot garage shelves and love them!
I was about to drop a message about those cubes. I do like them and they look pretty good. I have Gladiator Garage works on order. Taking 4ever for them to ship. 90 by 90 / 24 deep. Placed the order May 4th and still hasn’t gone out. Funny I bought it for the garage and now it’s for statues. 👍🏻
Thanks for the information.
I use Stuva from Ikea. And Besta accessories work with them too
Will always be a quality custom setup adapted to the room with good lighting.
The moducase is by far the best looking but that price is high when I have to save up forever for a statue lol . appreciate the info going to look at all the options I have
I have 2 max140 plus Moducases coming soon and on the verge of ordering 2 more. These look great and I first saw MrX showcase a smaller one so I did some research and was like "yeah, I gotta get these"
I like the Walmart cubes. I think those look good and gives you space. Definitely want to look into the ones you have at the office also.
Thank you for sharing!

Great video, loving the 1st display cubes, will need to see if can find them here in uk
Nice tour Mr. X of the displays but would’ve like to display build like you do with statues
Those Walmart cubes are great

Great video as always sir. I didn't know about those cubes, seems like the are sold out most places. I'm in Canada here so will be harder to get i'm sure. I'm most likely just going to build my own since I have the wood. I can build the whole room up and as strong as I want for the big P1 pieces. It will be just like some of the others all 3 walls and all white with top lighting or even something like your Amazon lights why not. Also Jetfire makes me totally jealous when I see it. Don't let it hit the floor like that other guy did!.
I saw that... crazy
I made a custom display units but I am saving up moducase I think it will just add that something special in the collect. No visitors can touch them which is a add bonus once they are in the case
I build my own displays. I will post some pics on your Facebook site, as soon as I get my pre orders in.

I needed this video. Appreciate it
Well since I don’t have a massive house. They just end up where they end up.
I feel you bro. My wife was getting frustrated with statues everywhere, so I cleaned out the basement (ugh, gross) and made room for two industrial shelving units. bought some inexpensive lcd lights and I'm using posters for the background. I still have a case with Batman in the living room and 4 Avengers in the bedroom, but everything else is in the basement.
You can get plastic milk creates they leave behind store's and decorate them to display your stuff, I made my display case out of a window someone was tossing I build a cube and installed the window it slides open to put stuff in
Those cubes are nice
I use the shelving within a wall unit to display two statues. A dedicated display unit would be very nice though!
Once I get a few more statues I want to start getting the moducase. Seem like the best option
I have an Ikea pax I use and am pretty happy with. I'll probably get moducases as I need more space though.
very helpful i need cases so proberly strart with the cubes if i can find them in uk
Mr. X, do you use the pure white or warm white lights from Moducase? Also LED strips or spot lights? Thank you!
