What's the best way to display 1 inch figures?I know it's a niche collectable, but pic related, some guy on Etsy, is the only proper display I've found online and he charges an insane amount for them. Any suggestions?

>>11192136It's only $18 with free shipping right? That's not so bad, it's the price of one TVC fig. I was expecting like 30 or 40 or something because a lot of custom stuff is ridiculously overpriced. But I guess it will add up if you need to get multiples.
>>11192255Yeah I mean it's really not an UNFAIR price, but considering I already have a collection of almost 50 figures, it's definitely not ideal. >>11192247Very smart. Gonna look into this.
>>11192281You don't even need those clear ice cube trays. Any number of things like tackle boxes or anything that is clear or plastic that is used for storage of things in sewing, crafts, tools/hardware, etc. should work.
>>11192136That doesn't look much better or more purposeful than some sorting boxes you can probably find at the nearest store.
>>11192136just make your own dude. Use Pla Plate and plastic cement and you can customize the spaces as you see fit.
>>11193012Tackle boxes are good, ive got a few from wal mart that are kinda modular for like less than $8 each.
>>11193101Yeah, that's why something clear, like those ice trays, or anything to help sort, would likely LOOK better. >>11193878And even tackle boxes are probably more expensive than something similar you could find for wood work, hobbyist, or simply for storing things like nuts and bolts, if you ask around at say a Home Depot or a Lowe's. A tackle box is something for a hobby, so it might retail for more, whereas a tray just to hold nuts and bolts, I mean who cares about paying extra for that?>>11193823I agree, but not everyone is comfortable with that.
>>11192136This looks like either a 3d printed or poorly cast resin part.I mean look how rough that top right corner edge appears.I bet you could find some customizable 'organising tray' 3d model online for beads or something and repurpose it to do the same thing.
>>11192136OP this kind of shit is so easy to model, you could learn to do this in 30 mins or less. And you can get a 3D printer for like $200 nowadays. Which will pay for itself in no time if the Etsy seller is charging $18 per. Plus, if you model it yourself, you can make custom ones for special figure sizes, like those droids. It just makes more sense to take control yourself.
>>11195492>find some customizable 'organising tray' 3d model online for beadsYou don't even need the model or to invest in a 3D printer *unless* you were going to do other stuff with a printer. You can get trays for a reasonable price and OP only needs 3-4 trays for some 50 figures.
>>11195502Shhhhh let him consume. I'm making a killing selling this shit to retards.
Letterpress drawer or printer's drawer/tray. They were used with printing presses to store the individual letters, and when those became obsolete they were used to display collectibles back in the day.
>>11195540There's nothing wrong with the fact that some people either do not want to do any work and would rather pay someone to do things like clean their apartments, or launder their clothes, but there's a genuine shame in the fact that there are stupid people doing things like using Uber Eats to order a muffin and coffee delivered to their home, when they are literal wage slave renters.
