Dwitkin82 Posted January 28, 2015 Share Posted January 28, 2015 I'm so amazed to have this...just unreal [/img] love this! my LCS guy sold out of that one in no time, so it's the secondary market for me. Unless you are looking to get an exclusive version, you can still order it direct from Sideshow: http://www.sideshowtoy.com/collectibles/dc-comics-superman-sideshow-collectibles-300215/ I was just about to say the same thing. Mine is #1222 out of 5000 so there are plenty to go around. I didn't want the "Exclusive" version as I honestly don't care for the different eyes. They just look weird to me. My LCS ordered this, I got it in about a week and he took 10% off on top if it. Its just beautiful! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mysterio Posted January 28, 2015 Share Posted January 28, 2015 I have a bunch of the Bowen Mini-Busts, but I still haven't figured out a good way to display them. It seems that every contemporary style pre-built display cabinet is either 5 grand, or so cheap looking it just wouldn't look good in your house. Why not go with a regular "curio cabinet"? There are probably decent lighted ones for under $500. Something along these lines (it's not lighted though)... Wildon Home Curio Cabinet - $219.99, free shipping Detolf cabinets from Ikea are also nice looking and run about $65 apiece. They're what I use to display my minibusts and other stuff. And you can add a light kit to them relatively easily (Ikea sells them too and the cabinet comes predrilled for it). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have 2 of them and not only are they easy to put together, they also only cost about $70. http://www.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/products/10119206/ Super expensive to ship though so I suggest finding the local Ikea and making a trip of it Worth every penny Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnthaiHERO Posted January 28, 2015 Share Posted January 28, 2015 Go big. Ikea pax all the way. http://m.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/products/spr/79872938/ I had a besta, then ran out of room. I just put this together a couple months ago. I need to add the sliding glass doors. Here is one shelf. Sorry my phone makes the LED look super bright.

wombat Posted January 28, 2015 Share Posted January 28, 2015 Another vote for the IKEA cabinet. Cheap, easy to put together and looks good. I don't have a light yet on this one, but I have heard it is very easy to put one in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erndog Posted January 28, 2015 Share Posted January 28, 2015 (edited) A lot of the premium formarts are between 18-26 inches. Throw in another inch or two for wiggle room. How much height are between the shleves on those cabinets? Gotta be at least 25 inches to fit 80% of the PF's. If not, don't see them as worth it.

But you can remove shelves and make two that would be 30 each (give or take). This is for the IKEA shelves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just be careful because I heard the glass, even if doubled up, might not be strong enough to hold a 35lbs. PF statue..They're that heavy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
