Display cases & risers

Choose between an enclosed case, an open riser and the shelf you already own. Inside dimensions and access matter more than a claimed figure count.

What to measure

  1. Measure the widest point, depth and total height of each figure, including its base and projecting parts. A series name is not a size specification.
  2. Measure usable inside width, depth and height. Subtract hinges, door travel and shelf supports; leave room to put a hand in and lift the figure out.
  3. For a riser, check every tier’s depth, height and support surface. The tallest figure on the top tier must still clear the enclosure.

Open riserYou want to see short figures behind the front row.Figures remain exposed. Check tier depth and stability with the intended base.
Existing shelfThe pieces already fit and are easy to reach.Rearranging may solve the problem without buying a case. Confirm the shelf’s load limit.
