Pretty new to the board, so apologies if this has been discussed before.
I'm a collector of MOC figures and have been for about a year now. It's getting to the point where I want to display them rather than being stored away in boxes. Given the shape and size it's a lot harder than displaying figures out of the box and I don't really just want them on shelves unprotected as they will get dusty and have to be cleaned etc.
Are there any other MOC collectors who have their figures on display some how? Any inspiration or suggestions would be welcome...pictures would be cool too.

How many do you have? Ikea makes a few different glads display cabinets. Detolf and Vittjo (sp?) the first is tall and skinny the other wider. Theres too many figures that I want to do MOC. Plus its nice to pose and put shirts/belts on.
I keep a select amount sealed up
I dont wanna go on too big of a tangent, but i feel like MOC collecting is a bit OCD unless for resale. Everything is impermanent and trying to keep cardboard nice is a nightmare...

Everything is impermanent and trying to keep cardboard nice is a nightmare... Only 34 at the moment, but I'm only collecting pre 2003 guys. You're right, it's a nightmare keeping them in mint condition, and I have found myself becoming a little OCD about it, but it's part of the fun for me too both when looking to buy and keeping them...if that makes sense. Although I don't intend to sell them, and it would be cool to position them in cool poses/matches etc and easier to display, I think it would kill me to open them up now, and I like the idea of my collection going up in value. I really hope to find a solution but I'm a little concerned I'm going to have to stop MOC collecting unless I accept they'll always be stored away. I'll take a look at the Ikea stuff, thanks! |

I hang my MOC figures on the wall: Looks very messy. I keep my moc elites in a wardrobe, because mattel keeps on changing elite boxes,I find that displaying all of the elites moc together can end up looking messy. |

Thanks, I was about two years late from when Mattel got the new license so I had to play catch up. But its still possible to get some of these MOC, you just have to be patient and wait for good deals on Ebay or from trades. =)

I just bought two detolfs from ikea a couple weeks ago (created another post with pics at the time). I actually like them alot but it's had an interesting effect on my collection. I was keeping several of my figures MOC, but just in the last week decided to open some of them. I've realized everything looks better in my cases that way.
