All the discussion about the size of the display in the Nitro arena thread got me wondering, how (or if) do you display your collection?
Do you display it permanently or temporarily? Do you have permanent shelving that you add figures to, or do you have another arrangement? Do you group them by eras, or brand, or wrestler themselves?
I personally do not have them on display permanently. I will get a portion of my collection out and display them when I have people over for a PPV, be it WWE or AEW (I collect both, along with the Powertown figures). In my living room, I have 2 shelves, about 4 feet wide and a foot deep, as part of a TV stand, and the top of two DVD shelves, maybe 2 feet wide and half a foot deep, that I can use to display figures.
So I will get out my figures of a particular era and display them on those shelves when I have people over. Usually they will be up for a week or so, half a week before, and half a week after the PPV.
That said, I usually put up a display about a week before the Royal Rumble, and keep it up until a week or so after Wrestlemania. The weekends of the shows, I will put a big ring and display up on my kitchen table, which is going to be the only place that will fit the Nitro stage when I get it.
This year, I had my 'WWF Golden Age' figures on display on the shelves in the living room, and the weekend of Wrestlemania I put up the Raw stage, and the RAW letters from the Target set, along with my Attitude Era figures on the kitchen table, and it went over well.
So I am just curious to see how others display their collections, or if they even display them.

This was the collection room when I decided to put it in that room. It was my daughter’s room, until she moved to London to go to Kings College. And we set up her bedroom in a bigger room for if she ever has to move back home. Mattel JL/JLU, Various DC, Star Trek (TOS), Star Wars (A New Hope), Marvel Legends, Neca, Thundercats & MotU Wall - McFarlane DC Multiverse, DCU, Mattel DCSH/DCUC/Multiverse, DC Direct/Collectibles Wall - Spin Master 4” Batman/DC, Mattel DCIH, DC 4” Multiverse, Mezco One:12, MaFex Hush, DCD/DCC Batman TAS/TNBA/JL & POPs Wall - AEW, Mattel WWE Elites/Legends/DM, Hasbro WWE, MotWWEU, Galoob WCW, some Jakks CS Wall - If the stage gets funded then it will go on a card table in the middle of the room with some WCW figures displayed on it. |

My collection is permanent so i will be having a good wcw display if the stage gets made. I already backed it up, but wish more people would do the same. This has a huge value with time since it's limited time and won't come out again and maybe people doesn't see that value still don't know why. But displaying permanent is a perfect way to show your hobby to others.

My display room is in shambles at the moment; lots of stuff in bins. Quite honestly my collection has gotten too large for the room that I'm keeping it in; I need to take a full day & just re-organize, and that day hasn't come yet.... plus I have a lot of old JAKKS stuff that I'm not sure if I want to keep. A key part of my collection is my extensive signed JAKKS Classic Superstars. So I'll likely keep those, but I might be able to get rid of some of the main-line JAKKS stuff.
But I often wonder why I'm buying this stuff just to keep in bins....
The Collection room needs a full overhaul.

I have a detolf with 2 shelves dedicated to wrestling and a book shelf I have some figures on. I usually swap the ones in the detolfs with the new stuff and the others go in a bin. Unfortunately I don’t have the room or space to have a full display but I hope one day I can get a room dedicated to my collections.

I display mine on a media case I got from Amazon. I used to use Detolfs with risers but I grew to hate how it looked so I switched to this. I snapped a quick pic while I was in the process of going through my collection and rearranging things.  |

The majority of my figures are MOC so there's just no way I could display it all. I have a small room with a permanent display with several shelves. Some stuff is always on display: my Hasbros, my Galoobs, my BCAs, my ECW OSFTM collection. When it comes to Mattel I tend to rotate stuff in and out, usually when I get enough new stuff that I have to make some adjustments. Right now I have a shelf for loose Mattels with mostly 80s/early 90s guys, a shelf with MOC ultimates, and a display with MOC Legends and MOC elites. Every once in a while I go through my many, many totes of boxed up figures and reshuffle some things to get different things on display, but I wish I had more space to display more of it!

Somebody likes Edge, but must hate him a little too judging by the one missing his arms and head.   |

So, for wrestling figures, I have it broken down like this: Fabikor: Shelf 1: Lefthand Side: Wrestlers I was a big fan of prior to their WWE run, September 2006 - Present. Righthand Side: Ultimates. Shelf 2: Wrestlers in looks up to September of 2006, which is the month I started college and retired my fig-fed. Shelf 3: Wrestlers I mainly associate with WWE, September 2006 - Present.  Rudsta: Shelf 1: Mattel and Jazwares CM Punks Shelf 2: Jazwares The Elite Shelf 3: Jazwares AEW  Some general pics of my office setup:           Eventually I want to do some rearranging to get my Hasbros, Jakks, and other misc stuff I have boxed up on display. |

Nice Kyle sketch. What Batgirl figure is that on the shelf in front of the white Lantern Hal POP? And I have that Nightwing statue as well. |

I also see you have the Hasbro TNBA 12” Nightwing doll. As do I but I opened all of those. |

That Nightwing doll is one of the few childhood toys I've re-bought as an adult. Generally I avoid doing that, but I iced it up at a con about a decade ago for $10. Box has gotten a little beaten up through various moves, but it's in good shape. It's up there with the WB Store Robin as my favorite thing I own in that scale. |

This is my overall setup at the moment. At this point, i've basically run out of space, as you can see with the Brodie & Edge collection's clashing up top. So when i get their new Unrivalled & Elite figures, not sure how or where i'm going to fit them in (Considering i get 2 of each, 1 loose & 1 MOC). The shelves are permanent in terms of placement now, but i am looking to upgrade whenever i move house, so i that each collection can be spaced out better, i can combine both Hardyz to one shelf, and give Razor or Punk their own setup like i have for Brodie/Edge. As for order: - Top, Ruthless Aggression 2006/2007 Raw, ECW, Smackdown, and miscellaneous Legend's - 2nd, Favourite's to collect: Punk, Jeff, Matt, Razor - 3rd, Some extra: Hero, Current WWE talent, Ex-WWE talent, 2007 PPV DVD's, SvR 07/08, and Encyclopaedia's - Bottom, Dragon Ball Z: Piccolo, Namek/Frieza Saga, Villain's, Z Fighters Then the rest of my abundance of crap sits on my desk (excuse the messiness), with little displays like the Hardyz, and WrestleMania 23 Main Event (my all time favourite match).   |

I don't have pics ATM as my collection is in storage, but my plan when I do display them is to go the "modified garage racking-display cabinet option".
Loads of tutorials on YT on this, but these racks come in all shapes and sizes, and my plan is to have a ring on each shelf with a stage to the side, figures on display in the ring.
Pics will follow when I finally do it!

Two bookshelves for Ultimates but Steve apparently wants me to buy more. A Detolf for everyone who has been Champion. A Detolf that only has one shelf filled for WWF 1998. |

I envy people who can have displays like this & even more so if they’re Moc … all of my Moc figures ended up in boxes in storage this past weekend because my mother-in-law needed the room they were in to live with us for God only knows how long 😡
