Shanester Posted January 30, 2007 Posted January 30, 2007 I ordered two of these and will give a full review when they arrive, but wanted to show them to those possibly interested. Go Here: http://www.verycoolthings.com/vct/Neo_getp...mp;itemID=14805 They are reasonably cheap too at only $4.99. Made for Kubrick figures mainly but should do great for minis and they stack. I'll do actual photos when they arrive. Quote
TBT! Posted January 30, 2007 Posted January 30, 2007 Those are cool! It might be a good way to display the 3"ers I have as they have to squat a little in my displays if they have 'big hair' I'm very curious to see how they fair in real life. T. Quote
Jatta Pake Posted January 30, 2007 Posted January 30, 2007 Wow! Thanks for the heads up Shanester! I've just ordered some for myself. I've been looking for something like this! Quote
Amazing.JL Posted January 30, 2007 Posted January 30, 2007 Those are neat, just what I've been looking for to display my minis at work. Let us know when the arrive Shanester. Quote
Nervous Rex Posted January 30, 2007 Posted January 30, 2007 :sad: having trouble seeing these, could someone post another picture? thanks in advance Quote

Cappy Posted January 31, 2007 Posted January 31, 2007 You have no way of knowing this, but Very Cool Things is located in Seattle; I've been through his strictly-internet-sales office a couple of times. Great guy, very fun office because it's crammed to the ceiling with cool Japanese toys! Anyway, thanks for the heads-up Shanester. I may have to stop by in person check these out. Quote
Shanester Posted January 31, 2007 Author Posted January 31, 2007 Anyway, thanks for the heads-up Shanester. I may have to stop by in person check these out. Hey, if you do, let us know what you think. I've ordered from him many times. Good service and nice prices, too. Quote
Rad Posted January 31, 2007 Posted January 31, 2007 They look very similar to the display stands we had over here late last year, with the added bonus of being encased. Be interested in hearing what you think of them Shane. Thanks for the heads up. Quote
Jatta Pake Posted February 21, 2007 Posted February 21, 2007 Shanester - Did you get your order yet? Mine hasn't arrived ... Quote
AdyCarter Posted February 21, 2007 Posted February 21, 2007 Whence one of you fine gentlemen get yours if you could guestimate international shipping it would verily make me happy. Quote
Shanester Posted February 21, 2007 Author Posted February 21, 2007 I got this item and will take some photos and such tonight. I asked the seller about buying these by the case and they were receptive. I could then forward you some if interested Ady. Quote
AdyCarter Posted February 21, 2007 Posted February 21, 2007 So very interested. I love the stand things I have but its impossible to get more. Quote
Shanester Posted February 22, 2007 Author Posted February 22, 2007 OK, got these over the weekend and they are pretty cool. This is how they come packaged. As you can see, they are made in a generic fashion for most any mini or capsule style collectible. Here is a shot with a 3 inch minimate to give you some scale guidance. This image is on the top of the celo packaging and gives good measurements. I added the measurement for the distance from the base of the top row to the inside of the top of the case. It is just barely too small for a 3 inch mini, but is perfect for all other sizes. Of course, the 3 inchers fit on the other two lower rows with ease. Now these shots are hard to see very well, but I tried to capture the inside of the case with a 2 inch, 2.5 inch and 3 inch mini. You can see that the 3 incher is touching the inside top with knees slightly bent. A hairpiece or hat would make a fit impossible. They stack fairly well, but I think they could lock together better. Let me know if you have any specific questions or want specific shots and I'll do my best. Quote
Jatta Pake Posted February 22, 2007 Posted February 22, 2007 Now I really want these to arrive. I wonder why my order didn't come? Off to investigate ... Quote
Basement24 Posted February 22, 2007 Posted February 22, 2007 Haha, what's with C-3PO in the Police helmet? That's just odd... Sometimes these, or similar ones, pop up for order in Diamond Comics' Previews magazine (available at comic shops). They're often for Japanese "Gatcha" toys and are available in the Collectibles and Novelties section. I have a bunch from a few years back, and they're fairly similar, but maybe 3 inches longer and a one deeper. They were only $9 CDN each as well, (about $7.50 US) which is pretty good for a slightly bigger size. Always worth keeping an eye out for them if you have a comic shop that takes special orders.

Modefan Posted February 22, 2007 Posted February 22, 2007 Those are pretty awesome, any rough idea how many 2" mates could fit inside? thanks Quote
drgnrbrn316 Posted February 22, 2007 Posted February 22, 2007 I wouldn't mind knowing approximately how many 2" figs they'd hold either. Come next paycheck, I think I may invest in some of these. One thing I'd change though is I'll probably glue a flat 2xwhatever Lego piece to each step so that the C3 feet can lock in place and keep the figures from toppling over inside the case should I bump them or something. Quote
Shanester Posted February 22, 2007 Author Posted February 22, 2007 I'll jam it full and take another photo. Quote

Shanester Posted February 24, 2007 Author Posted February 24, 2007 Here are a couple of shots for one row. There are three rows. another: Quote
Amazing.JL Posted February 24, 2007 Posted February 24, 2007 Sweet!!! Great Case! Can't wait to get mine in. Thanks for sharing those pics Awesome test shots! Quote
Rad Posted February 25, 2007 Posted February 25, 2007 Yep they look great, I'm also dead impressed with that Daredevil Proto. Good stuff Shane. Is that an all clear mate you've got there? Quote
