Maakie's Figure Collection Tour 2023 ~ Anime / Manga / Game collectibles room ~

I decided to make it a yearly thing to do a tour of my collection! 2023's tour is a bit late due to me waiting for some arrivals to come in, but I hope you will still enjoy!

FAQ of my collection and set-up:
Q: Which plastic storage crates are those?
A: They are mixed no-brand or cheap brand from a store in the Netherlands similar to The Container Store. They don't have a webshop, so I can't really link to anything here. I recommend to look for these kind of crates locally as their big sizes are not very efficient when it comes to shipping costs.
Q: What are the display cases you use?
A: Detolf from IKEA.
Q: Aren't Detolfs the display cases that explode/shatter?!?!?!?!
A: There are some horror stories out there, yeah. The people this happened to either seemed to have damaged pieces (! check your Detolfs for any glass cracks before assembly !) or they were incorrectly assembled (a common mistake is having the actual shelving placed upside down or screws being screwed too tight).
Q: What are the cabinets underneath your display cases?
A: Kallax from IKEA.
Q: Don't Kallax sag over time and take down all your Detolfs with it?!?!?!?!
A: The 1x1 Kallax squares (unfortunately not sold in every country's IKEA) are very sturdy and come with thick wooden sides. If you then also buy the wooden door inserts and backsides, you have a very solid piece. I have had this set-up for years and don't see issues with mine, although I do have to add my detolfs are mainly filled with lightweight PVC and no big or heavy pieces. As a try-out I have also decided now to have the 4x1 against one wall, I also reinforced it with the wooden door and wooden backside and on top of that these metal reinforcement hooks images-na.ssl-images-amazon.c... are screwed inside. Also rather than 1 display case on top of each square, I will only put 3 on here. I also actively monitor if they will sag. It's been more than half a year since I set up the 2 display cases there and no sagging yet.
Q: What are the lights in your display cases?
A: Dioder, also by IKEA. Unfortunately IKEA took them out of their catalogue a while back. I was able to buy about half of them in store when they still existed and the other half I have bought second hand. I recommend to check local second hand websites if you are interested in these. Be very aware there are yellow-colored and white-colored Dioder, depending on the age of release.
Q: How do you keep the room dark?
A: Sun-blocking curtains that are attached to the wall with magnets to ensure no sunlight can peek out.
Q: Where did you get your risers?
A: Please check out the recommendations in this blog myfigurecollection.net/blog/8346 , the pictures are lost, but the information is still valuable.
Q: How did you attach the posters and wallscrolls?
A: The lightweight items are held up with museum putty, the heavier items with small dabs of Unibond/Pattex Click & Fix, the fabric items with magnetic wooden clips (generic ones available on Amazon/eBay).
