I used to keep certain BCA' s in beanie baby cases way back in the day. I did a quick google search and came up with this. The more you buy, the cheaper they are. Hope this helps.

Hope this helps. bcwsupplies.com Just search beanie babies Thanks for checking. Those cases look nice but I don't think they'll be tall enough for elite figures unfortunately. EDIT: you actually might be onto something here. There might be one that is 7" in height. I only saw the mirrored one that costs about $9 but I just noticed the 2nd one. Just order one to test it out. I'll let you know how it goes!

Why would open a fig just to put it in another case i guess the simple response is simply because that's the way I prefer to display my own collection. I prefer to collect loose but I would like to display them nicely. Having a small acrylic display case for each one that I can customize sounds like a very nice way to display my collection. Plus they will help keep my figures free from dust. Plus a display case is very different from a retail box, which takes up space. Plus I like a uniformed collection. DM, elites, legends, basics, BP all have different packaging. Thanks for contributing to the thread though.

yeah man, thats the one I ordered. I picked up 2 other different ones up while searching today. So I'll have 3 samples to check out later this week. I'll surely be reporting back with my findings!

This guy literally just posted this I like how he's using custom name cards for them. I'm looking for something that will set well on a shelf. That one might, but I don't really want something that's meant to hang on a peg like those.

I'm thinking about revamping my loose figure display. I'm considering individual cases for each figure. Does anyone know where I can find something that looks nice and is also affordable (I will need to buy over 200 of them). I've been browsing eBay/Amazon but everything is very high end (lights and stands) or very small (3-4"). If anyone is using a similar system I'd love to hear about it/see pictures! Here's an example of the sort of thing I'm looking for. No idea what kind of figure that is but the case is a solid example. EDIT: added photo Did the cases you ordered come in? If so how do they fit?

@heyyo1206 they came in...none of them fit just right though. 2 of them took up waaay too much room and the other one was about half and inch too short. Otherwise it would have been perfect!

Here's some visual evidence of my findings: Here's the 5-7 acrylic doll display case from Collecting Warehouse. This one sells for $3.60 each but go down to $2.80 if you buy over a dozen. It's a little too big but it is usable: It will hold Andre though (afro won't fit though) A standard pose with a basic figure leaves A LOT of room at the top of the display case though: This round one is a little shorter. I actually thought this one was going to be PERFECT but it's about 0.5" too short. Even with a guy the size of b50 Rollins it can't close completely: Last but not least is the tall round one. The figure fits but there's just waaaaay too much wasted room with this one: The best one of the 3 is the square back loading one. It's a bit pricey but it actually fits well and allows for some posing.

Why not put them in a curio cabinet? I mean, I want you to do what you want.. but I bought one curio and now I'm hooked on them. I need about 3 more just for Batman paraphernalia alone.

IKEA detolf shelves work great. You can also put the tiered apice racks in to fit more figures.

I have a large shelf with 4 tiers on each level. I just liked the idea of having them each housed in a small acrylic case. I was thinking about printing custom name plates as well.
Been getting bored with my display and just wanted to spruce it up a bit. Had 1 detolf, then 2, and now a massive IKEA shelf.
