Thom, I use candlesticks, inverted pencil cups, and what-nots to place smaller pieces around the larger ones at various levels. It does tend to expand the available space ever-so-slightly. 

I don't have any available shots of my statues but here is something similar done with some of the action figures in my collection...

On my Eaglemoss figures collection I have used empty business card holders. Raises the back tier up just enough.

I know that won't work on such large items but it's OK for the small ones.

This may have been discussed in this thread already -- but does anyone here know what's going on with BOWEN DESIGNS?   I've not heard of a new release for quite some time from them.

I like the one on the left. Wish I'd thought of that "loincloth" effect for the skirt. Makes much more sense for an Amazon than trunks.

I've been waiting for a Wonder Man statue that was sneak peeked in March.
I haven't heard a whisper from them since.

According to his Facebook updates, he is still negotiating the renewal of the Marvel license. It has been dragging out.

Sci-Fi Japan TV has a look at shopping in Akihabara for Godzilla 2014 figures:

SF Japan Link

The Akiba-branch of Yodobashi Camera is a massive complex, and Floor 6 is a Toy, Figure, and Model Kit fans dream. The Bandai / Tamashi Showroom is located in a passageway in the Southern part of JR Akihabara Station, (that connects the areas between that Yellow Submarine shop and the Yodobashi complex).

My bank account really does not need that to happen, especially

I just saw these at my local Marshall's for $4.99. I already have the set (though this set has some differences to each character), but a great price for them.
