I am looking to get a wall mounted display cabinet to display 1/6 figures.
So far, I have found 2 options.
Both from Ikea, the besta and the galant.
Besta
Specs:
Width: 240 cm
Depth: 20 cm
Height: 64 cm
Price: around $500
Galant
Specs:
Width: 160 cm
Depth: 38 cm
Height: 40 cm
Price: around $300
I live in NZ and locally i had no luck finding one and i have to import ikea products from a dealer. Which means this would cost more than the retail price.
Even if I find anything similar locally it would cost much more than these.
I would like to ask for some opinions, for which would be better to display 1/6 figures.
I have 4 detolfs but i use those to display my gundam model kits and i dont have much floor space left.
The galant has a depth of 38 which is similar to the detolf.
height of 40, higher than the height of 1 detolf shelve so displaying a 12" figures would not be a problem.
It is 160 cm wide. I measured by iron man figures and each needs about 15cm of width.
So with the Galant i can fit 10 lines of figures, with 3 in each line.
The only thing is that if i put 3/line the ones at the back would not be visible.
The Besta is 64 cm high and has interchangeable shelves so i can have 2 levels.
20 cm deep which means only 1 figure/line.
240cm wide, will be able to fit around 16 lines. So about 30-32 figures.
Only concern is that the besta's shelves are not glass, so would have to put LED on 2 tiers.
What do you think is the better choice? I am very new to the hobby and at this moment only have 4 figures, but i am looking to get more the rest of this year.
Some comments and recommendations are welcome. If you want to recommend another cabinet then feel free.
I actually like something like this guy have for his iron man display
Thanks in advance guys
