Hello there, I am very new to collecting the Mattel WWE line. It began when the missus bought me the Flashback Elite (Mania 6) Ultimate Warrior for my birthday at the start of the month. Since then I have bought a further 15 odd Elite figures. Now the question is how to display them? And how do you display your collection?
I plan to have a mixture of loose and packaged figures but assume that they are best kept out of sunlight and in a dust free environment. Is this possible whilst also displaying them?
And hints, tips or advice would be greatly appreciated.

Welcome to the board! Personally I use the Ikea Detolf Cabinets, they're great for both figures and even better for replica belts.

Thank you. The Detolf cabinets do seem like a cool and cost effective way of displaying figures. You also have the option of lighting them. Do they tend to collect much dust inside?
One hell of a Rock collection you have there too.

One hell of a Rock collection you have there too. I have two and could do with a third! No room now though! Yeah you can buy those separately but I'm pretty sure people on the board have done their own and it looks great, it's worth checking the Mattel/Jakks boards and looking at the way people display. You know what, in terms of dust, yes and I'm not sure how that can be prevented, I've needed to dust for a long while but never commuted the time to my loose figures, only my MOC figures. Thanks mate, it's changed somewhat since I uploaded that, I should really take a new picture and upload it.

I'll second the detolf cabinets are great for figures, its also what i use In terms of dust its not too bad, but the bottom shelf gathers a lot more dust than the rest

I have mine on figure stands and you can fit about 20 figures per shelf, in rows of 5 I got some spice racks so it tiers the figures and you can see the ones at the back better I also have some on top of the cabinet

Really cool set up there WayneyB, the acrylic stands look cool as well Gaz. Plenty of ideas bubbling away now.
