DYI Cost Effective ULTIMATE Action Figure Display Tutorial!
Here's a video I wanted to do for a long time. I've had a bunch of figures that have been just sitting in a box and needed to be displayed somehow so I came up with this easy cost effective way to get it done while saving on space. In this video I go over what I bought and how I put it all together. Links below for everything in the video.

I'm looking to deck out my Motu shelf and that display riser is EXACTLY what I need. Excellent video as always, MrHomeArcade.

As long as I was able to help one person, I'm satisfied 😌! I'm glad to hear it, brotha 🙏
Very nice. You know a line I would love to see get turned into MOTU? Anybody else remember Battle Beasts from the late 80's? They had a white lion wearing an eye patch. Also those Biker Mice From Mars & that Martian Manhunter "figgurs" were awesome! Who else wants to see Mr. Home Arcade turn the Battle Beasts into MOTU "figgurs"? 🙋

Damn that was freaking amazing! N those Customs R insane. Loved that Harley Quinn Teela custom. BTW 4 any1 who wants really good cheap displays I rec at WalMart in the Kitchen appliance departments they got these cheap plastic(11 bucks) and cheap wooden(14 bucks or so) 3 row step things that supposed to b used to store UR Kitchen seasonings N they work excellent for actions figures. They look kinda like these sorta but no assembly. U wont be able to put as many as on these since they R only 3 rows vs 4 n not as wide, but for they work great. U can put on shelfs or tables or U can even drill em to UR wall or even use heavy duty command strips n mount em on UR walls n will hoid em guaranteed.
Damn I loved that "leap of faith line"

I just commented on an older display tutorial, This is also really useful info, Very cool of you to make these kinds of videos and also including links for the parts, Great idea, but as I said in the video from 8 months ago (that I just watched yesterday) I need another place to live, there's no room to assemble any shelves right now, my place is jam packed and running out of room to display thing, but this video and the other both have excellent ideas for setting things up in a new place whenever i eventually move, Thanks for the info.
Turned out great man ! Thanks for doing this. I'll definitely be getting those stands for my shelves.

Unfortunately I know that feeling. I have a bunch that need to be displayed.
To stop the figures from falling off go to the Dollar tree they got a six-pack of skinny clear tape what I do is tape straight across one side to another I promise you my figures have not fell off the shelf in 2 years This is beautiful bro real shit
U got real talent in making custom figures.you could sell those things they look that good.
This display looks absolutely beautiful.

Man this is awesome, I’m so stealing this 😀 every collector needs to watch this🔥
I use clear acrylic risers for MOTU figures (Origins or vintage) as its the best way to display them on shelves, spice racks look cheap and block light.
I might do some 3d printed shelves but love the idea
Wow you get me Everytime awesome setup and collection ❤️💯

Mr. Home Arcade is that meme with the guy walking with a girl but then he's turning around to look at the other girl. But the girl he's with is the Eternia playset and the girl he's looking at is the 3D printed Eternos. "B*tch," he says to Eternia, "you goin' in the spare room!"

I’d love a a short video showing that one cuz I can never get those bastards so nice & perfectly folded like you did! I immediately had LED-fu envy 🤣
Love it very nice I think I'm gonna do the same

This ain't cost effective lol.. u can literally use old Xmas light and build your own "cake" shelves outta plastic or foam or something around the house etc. This can be done for 4th of this price. Just use imagination

If that's what you want to do be my guest but for a 35$ shelf n some 5$ lights plus the cake shelves ( which is worth every penny ) that ain't bad at all brotha lol ... there's a difference between cost effective and make shift 😂

@187umkillah all these figures have one thing in common. They were all made with the motu body type. That's my favorite style of action figure, which was why I made every figure I could in that style
Why u yelling?
Sticky-tack for the winning hack. Booyah! 🫡
