I'm looking to buy a display case for my Triple H collection. I'm going to have a few MOCs displayed in it as well, but it will mostly be loose. I don't want the classic bookshelf, I want something that could draw someones attention to it when they walk into a room.
Any ideas?

The light is sold separate (as mentioned in the description). Ot looks great but id be worried about a figure falling forward and chipping/cracking the glass.

I saw this thread and automatically thought of the Ikea Detolf ones also. To answer lestial's comment, I've had my figures fall forward sometimes (or backwards) and hit the glass, but I don't see any chips in it. It's safety glass. I could be wrong, but I think it's the kind that doesn't chip, but if enough pressure is put on it, it shatters into tiny, not sharp pieces.
Just a note, the shelves aren't adjustable in terms of height. There's enough space between shelves to fit about 2 figures on top of each other. I'd never squish them that much since I like space between my figures in all directions, but sometimes I think it'd be nice to be able to add a fifth and possibly a sixth row in there, since I'm having to contemplate buying a third one now. Since you have some MOC, the space between will probably be a nice amount.
I think they're amazing! Like I said, I'm contemplating buying a third one, and haven't even though of looking elsewhere.

I would definitely recommend the Detolf cases. I picked one up a few years ago and I've been very happy with it. Mine used to be filled with wrestling figures but I sold almost all of them off. Here's a few pics of what it looks like now.   |

That's a pretty sweet shelf I might get one as well. Does anybody know if there are shelf's like these only a lot more wider?

I have one of those Ikea Detolf cases and love it. Really as good as it gets imo.
