Hi, I wanted to let you know I brought my Moducase's after watching one of your videos, and your instruction videos on how to build them were so helpful. I just want to say what you're doing is very helpful to your fellow collectors. Sorry I have commented sooner. Thanks. PS, Hopefully Brian lets you keep that cabinet for all you do for his company

I’m in on this for some one-off figs. Some people might see it as bulky looking but as someone who keeps all non-sixth scale collectibles in Billy’s w/ Doors, I’m used to that look and prefer it tbh. Also my biggest thing is the shelf weight as Detolfs always scared me with those limits.

This case looks OK, but toe the price is ridiculous, especially when you factor in the time it takes for the shipping of their current stuff. If they're looking to get into the gap that the Detolf left in the market they need to reduce the price significantly. The reason Detolfs were so popular was the affordability. This case should be $200, including shipping as a maximum!

I really like this, given that this is Moducase so I know what I'm getting into...and I never went the Detolf route, I waited patiently for my Moducases. I think these would be great for displaying my Gandalf and Aragorn (and Paul Atreides!) once they finally arrive. It really could use a felted bottom shelf to cover up the wire channels. The adjustable shelves have so much potential, and you can put heavier items on them than the Detolf glass shelves! Very cool review Graeme!

My issue is the Mono is not very appealing to the eyes. When you look at someone's collection, your eyes immediately go to the display case. That's what makes or breaks a collection for me. The Bezels are straight up ugly and too thick. The shelves are not see through so you lose visibility which at least the blaliden has both. This doesn't even compare to the Detolfs so if you already have them then no point in upgrading to these. The price point is a bit silly. $245 shipped no thanks. They had a chance to do something great now that the Detolfs are gone but imo they missed the mark completely in terms or design and price.

Great video! Perhaps if Moduspace could pre-drill screw holes a couple inches apart on each of the pillars that support the shelf? Inherently, by doing so it may add to the cost somewhat but it would also provide an opportunity to reach a larger audience with an additional value for consumers who don't have the time, talent, or desire to measure and drill on their own. 200 units seems quite low for an introductory launch, IMO. This may negatively impact the selling price. Economies of scale would potentially reduce the production costs if Moduspace is looking make this cabinet an affordable option for the hobby. Looking forward to seeing revisions to the cabinet!

Great video. I just upgraded my detolfs with the luke lights and I could see maybe upgrading to these next year. I do like the lights on the side and then the options for the shelves being solid pieces and the felt option is great for some anime figures i have. I do think the price is worth it considering the costs to upgrade detolf lighting and dustproofing. The backing is nice becase thats one less panel to clean lol. My biggest gripes would be adjusting the shelves heights. Wish it had notches that were already in place so no measuring and leveling would be involved. And then the bezels, i hate losing visibility albiet a small loss, but its still very noticable. The bright lighting as you noted is a concern, but also the power, i wish they could be like Luke lights and be USB instead. Other than that great video!

Given the dimensions, to me it makes more sense to compare it against the Detolf, not the Blalidien, even though Detolf is dead and buried. Compared to Detolf the shelves look to be deeper, but not as wide. Fairly minor but does mean some larger figures won't fit. The shelf height being adjustable is a huge bonus, plus the higher weight tolerance and not having to worry about whether Ikea had crap welds on the inner metal frame. I don't like the shelves personally. I think the felt / laminate approach looks great for Moducase but Moducases tend to be a bit bigger, the issue here is that the shelves being opaque means you can't see the stuff lower down as easily unless you crouch. It sounds like they will have a plexiglass shelf option, but if that means having to buy extra plexi shelves that's a non-starter IMO, if you can customize the case to include plexiglass shelves for same or similar price point that seems more reasonable. I *really* don't like the lighting setup. I've seen a lot of people do this with LED strips in Detolf cabinets and don't like how this looks there either. I think one of the reasons you feel like the lights are too bright, is because of the fact that being all the way down each side makes it feel like there is a spotlight being shone directly onto the figure from the front, which results in unnatural shadowing etc. In comparison your Blaliden Luke Light setup and your Moducase setup has the figures lit from above at a 45 degree angle, which is always going to look more natural, result in natural shadowing and so on. Generally we view the world lit from above, not from the front, unless you go around wearing a headlamp, which is the effect you get from having the strips on either side of the case. So for me if this was the only lighting option, I'd be throwing their lighting solution away and building my own (or seeing if I could adapt a Luke Light setup with smaller channels to handle the fact the shelves aren't as wide) and that would personally make these fairly uneconomical. But also personally I don't think I am the target market for this product any more, as I own 4x Detolfs (have had for the better part of 15 years now) which are properly lit and so on, and these would be at best a sidegrade. I am instead looking at upgrading to a proper moducase setup. If I was new into collecting though, these would seem like a really good option to me. Blaliden is just terrible from what I've seen, cheap and nasty, flimsy metal frames, huge gaps, way too small for most collectors. As a replacement for the venerable Detolf, it's a failure IMO. But that's now the absolute bottom end for a new collector. Your other options would be to go up to the larger Milsbo (which is generally a better built cabinet but has some issues), find used or new-old-stock Detolfs, or buy a Chinese Drop-shipped Detolf Knockoff from Amazon, and the latter often tend to run into same sort of cost as this new MONO if not actually a bit higher at times, for some pretty sus build quality often too - I often see people with Amazon glass displays where the shelves are held up by pins that are literally just drilled through the sides of the glass of the cabinet, which to me seems very dangerous, like a collapse and complete destruction of a collection just waiting to happen. When compared against a Detolf, the old price they were $130 US. Factor in weather stripping and say a Luke Lights kit with the channels and that's another $67, plus a roll of double-sided adhesive tape, plus weather stripping and that's pushing into the $220 price point easily. Blaliden has the price edge significantly, but still so many compromises. Plus as you mentioned, you get everything you need in the box. It's not perfect but to me these look like the *actual* successor to the Detolf for figure collectors.

Glad they will have the option in the future but that's an added cost which puts you at/over $300 for one case since the add-on will most likely be $50-$75 w/o shipping. As it stands, this is about $75 overpriced and needed to be in the $150 region. The bezels around the front of the case are also an eyesore and appear to be thicker than standard moducases. These should've been slimmer to blend in w/ the rest of the moducases so you can see more of the figures. Adjusting the shelves may be my biggest gripe. Not improving on this system and forcing collectors to have to try and balance each shelf on their own is mind-boggling to me. The design team needs to figure out a way that allows for the customizability of adjusting the shelves but without the trauma of having to balance them for 30 minutes or sometimes an hour. Have small notches/divots inside of the aluminum rails that sit every few millimeters (i.e., 10 mm) or so that would allow you to key in when tightening the screws. I'll have to wait on these until Mono 2.0s come out with more benefits and improvements as early adopters normally tend to take on a lot of the shortcomings of a product.

They have a lot of fancy names for the shelves that is kind of the same thing only thing is not made entirely out of glass which I prefer for beauty wise it looks nice but it's not really something that I would personally use for collecting figures don't get me wrong I think having a whole bunch of them and having one or two in each Shelf looks like a very nice display but I prefer something more larger to put everything in one show I would use something like this if it was big enough to put WWE Championships on display then figures the personally but I don't know if that would be big enough or will they have different sizes in this

Thanks for sharing your thoughts Stryker! I agree that if I had to choose I still prefer cases, but this may appeal to those with smaller collections or this with small areas. We will see

Sadly is a third-party transformer collector. Don’t think this would work for me. I don’t even think I could put the Titans in there when they stand 20 to 22 inches tall with the combiners it’s just gonna this is more for hot toys or Legos and it would be for anything else.

one area this loses to the detolf is the weight limit

I’d rather a squared off look - don’t like that top moulding. Those that are interested… make sure to consider import duties/taxes too

The current batch is sold out but there will be another soon. I believe this is already the second or third one.

Honestly, this looks much better than the Detolf, IMO. It looks more upscale to me. Like you said, more of a "cabinet" than a case. I like that each shelf is more of a feature of interest. These will be beautiful with multiple side by side and once they can tame the lighting situation. As far as the pending price...well it is what it is and I'm learning that the nicer you go, the exponentially higher the cost gets. We'd LOVE to pay nothing for something but unfortunately that isn't the case in reality. PUN

To each their own but I’ve owned both detolfs and the mono and I can say the mono is built 10x better. Detolfs were loved by collectors and now that they are discontinued I’m sure a large number of collectors would jump at this.
