Rilynil on the statueforum also has a wallmounted display case. I don't remember where he bought it but it has a mirrored backing (I thought that was a nice touch).

Find the studs in your walls (in what ever place you want to hang it) and mount it to them.

You've seen my studio, Wayne. Which piece of original art should I take down to make room for this to hang?

Shallow depth shelving like you have there is PERFECT

Agreed. And I figure I can fit another ten figures without having to go to double rows. Makes me wonder what else might be coming. I was talking with a fellow collector last night (Hi, Paul!) and we were of an agreement that there are not a whole lot of characters left we'd like to see. Alpha Flight, sure, and the rest of the Inhumans royal family (including Lockjaw!). A few more villains -- maybe the Mad Thinker and his Android as a set, or a super-special of the Red Ghost and his Super Apes. Mole Man.

Pretty soon it runs into supporting players -- Jonah, MJ, Gwen, Alicia, etc.

I canst take no more!!!  I had been able to hold out for a long time, but no longer.  My LCS put a batch of 37 figures out for sale yesterday, which included 5 specials.  My daughter saw these and wanted to start collecting them with a little influence from me (she loves this stuff almost as much as me).  The problem was that she wanted them all!!!

And Wayne, I am positive they have an extra Juggernaut if you want me to pick one up for you.

Well, I would suggest any of the Kirby's. I'll even go so far as to offer to
keep it safe for you.

I hate all of you. After seeing all these wonderful figurines I finally broke down and bought my first ones today. I bought Cyclops #25 and Dr. Strange # 40. If I end up selling my house and car to keep up with these things, you are all to blame.
