If so, how many figures can you fit across roughly?
I have about 450-475 figures to display and I'm trying to figure out how many of them I'd need to buy to display everything.
Also any photos of your collection using Billy bookcases would be appreciated!

Wow nice! Those are the thinner ones too it looks like. I was thinking about buying the wider ones. This photo helps -- thank you! |

The shelves are about 2 1/2 foot wide, so they hold a good bit of figures on 1 shelf. Which I don’t use the figure stands unless I get one that doesn’t wanna stand up, it saves me more room not using them. |

You could add extra shelving if needed. Not for my figures, but I use them for my movie collection and adding shelving was painless to do. Just need access to a saw to cut the shelving to size.
That said, I think the FigHeel account on IG uses white Billy shelving and his are really clean looking.

But I do have 1 white one and it seems to have more pop to it. |

I use IKEA besta shelves and would highly recommend. They’re a bit deeper than Billy.  |

I used to use Billy shelves and switched to Besta a couple of years ago. They give you more room and with some light and nice glass doors you'll have an amazing and clean dsiplay.

I like the look of the Billy with the glass doors, but I like the depth of the Besta.

What's the name of this billy bookcase? Oxberg? Yeah, those look nice. But if you have 400+ figures I think the Billy Oxberg are going to hold the most. To where Besta has more depth, thr oxberg are wider. So I guess it just depends on if you rather have more depth and more bunched together or wider and kinda more room. |

Didn't even consider the besta -- thank you! Are the shelves that the rings are sitting on native to the besta or did you add those on? |

The thread is about fitting 400+ figures on a shelf. If you want spend however much money on a shelf to put a ring on them I mean yeah that shelf is probably the best option. But I’ll just spend far less for a smaller table to put a ring on, just my personal opinion |

Haha Yeah you could put it on the shelf, will it fit perfectly? Probably not. But I’m Not paying over $100 for a shelf just for a wrestling ring either lol. But if I got a lot of figures then that Billy Shelf is what I would get. One has depth the other has width, it’s just a personal preference of what you’re needing to put on them. But you can get a small table on ikea for like $12 that fits that ring perfectly |
