FAQs
When selecting a display cabinet for your collectibles, consider the following factors:
- Size and Space: Ensure the cabinet is large enough to accommodate your items with room to grow. Measure your available space to find a cabinet that fits comfortably.
- Material and Design: Choose materials like glass, wood, or metal based on your style preference and the items you’re displaying. Glass cabinets offer clear visibility, while wood adds a classic touch.
- Lighting: Good lighting, such as built-in LEDs, enhances visibility and highlights your collection. Adjustable lighting can also help reduce glare and showcase items from the best angles.
- Security: If your items are valuable, opt for cabinets with locks to protect them from theft or accidental damage.
- Shelving Adjustability: Adjustable shelves allow you to customize the space for different-sized items, maximizing the use of your cabinet.
- Dust Protection: Look for cabinets with doors and sealed edges to keep dust and dirt away, preserving your collectibles in pristine condition.
Considering these factors will help you select the perfect display cabinet that both protects and showcases your collectibles beautifully.
Protecting your collectibles inside a display cabinet involves several key practices:
- Temperature and Humidity Control: Keep your cabinet away from direct sunlight, heating vents, and damp areas to prevent damage from temperature fluctuations and humidity. Consider using silica gel packs for humidity control.
- Proper Lighting: Avoid using lighting that generates heat, as it can damage sensitive items. LED lights are a great choice because they produce minimal heat and reduce the risk of fading or warping.
- Use Soft Liners or Risers: Adding soft liners or padded shelves can cushion fragile items. Risers help elevate smaller collectibles, preventing them from being hidden or stacked unsafely.
- Regular Dusting and Cleaning: Clean the glass and shelves regularly to keep dust from accumulating. Use a soft cloth or microfiber duster to avoid scratching surfaces or damaging items.
- Secure Placement: Ensure that collectibles are placed securely and not too close to the edge. Consider using museum gel or putty to stabilize fragile items, especially if your cabinet is in a high-traffic area.
- Avoid Overcrowding: Overloading your cabinet can lead to items getting scratched or broken. Leave space between pieces to prevent accidental contact and to allow each item to be viewed clearly.
These steps will help you maintain the quality and safety of your collectibles, ensuring they remain protected and beautifully displayed.
There are 2 main differences; the size and the weight limit. You may also check out our display guide for an overview of which display series suit your needs. In general, our sixth series are smaller and designed for 1:6 scale figurines while the DF can handle larger, heavier statues (typically 1:4) and the MAX series are designed to hold the largest and heaviest collectibles (Dioramas or 1:3 and above).
Using weight limits as a guide:
- SIXTH series can support up to 15kg weight limit.
- DF series can support up to 15kg weight limit.
- DF series with enhancement upgrade can support up to 30kg weight limit.
- MAX series models (MAX70 / MAX70 Plus / MAX150 / MAX150 Plus) can support up to 40kg weight limit.
- MAX series models (MAX140 / MAX140 Plus) can support up to 70kg weight limit.
No, only display units within the same series can be stacked or connected therefore a DF unit cannot stack with the MAX.
Yes, to do so you will need to purchase the top board accessories. Do note that that different cases have different weight limits;
- DF weight limit on top board (15kg)
- MAX weight limit on top board (40kg)
We advise only the sixth series should be wall mounted due to its smaller frame and lighter weight.
Any stacks more than 3 units should be wall mounted and 4 units should be the maximum.
