For whatever reason the Anniversary line turned me into a “display guy”. I was always all about the playability, and not really how figures looked on the shelf, but when the Anniversary line hit its stride, I suddenly had an urge to make various shelf displays of certain figures. All the cartoon-themed folks together, a nice little COBRA army…even the Iron Grenadiers. Don’t ask me why, I just felt compelled.
But of course, finding a spot was tough, and keeping the spot clean was even tougher. I have black bookcases which would become dust magnets within minutes of setting up the damn figures! Well, SmallJoes.com recently announced that they’re distributing a unique display case tailor-made for 1:18 figures. It’s clear poly-styrene, stackable, a managable size, and locks together in such a way that it almost eliminates dust altogether. I just had to check it out.
Then, once I checked it out, I loved it so much I just had to do a review of it to show other folks what they were missing if they didn’t have one. Priced at a very reasonable $24.99 for the entire set (and only $9.99 if you just want the “steps”) I think this is a must have for any fans of 1:18 scale figures.
Check out the full review here, and if you like it, be sure to head over to SmallJoes and pick one up for yourself!
Wow, I really like that! Price is rather reasonable too. I think it’s time to finally display my figures instead of just storing them in drawers and closets.
Well, it didn’t help that the 25th figures really had little playability to them 😛
I saw these and told my wife, she agreed, I need to get these suckers. Once I find a lull in purchasing, my money’s going towards that.
Seeing as we have all metal frame and glass shelves these would be very welcome at my house. Just to save time on dusting alone would be worth the price.
I’ve had mine for about 2 months now, and I love it. Keeps them clean (it’s amazing how much dust is on top of the case, and they really look nice. Highly recommended guys.
