OT: Display cases for 5-inch Retro Friday Bobbleheads

[jodo23]

I'm not looking to sell or trade anything, just wanted to share something that I came across.

 

While looking for a way to display my 5" Retro bobbles, I found that most mirrored bat display cases were about 1/2" too short. I then found this display case:

 

www.tcbulk.com/scripts/prodview.asp?idproduct=86

 

The tiered stand and gold risers can be removed, so you end up with approximately 5.5 inches clear on the inside. The length of the case will easily fit all 13 bobbleheads inside. (See the picture below for an example)

 

The only downside is that by removing the tiered stand, the acrylic top becomes "loose" (there's nothing to keep it from sliding left-right, or to the front), but this can be rectified by adding (homemade) glued-in-place "stops" on the inside.

 

I was able to find these cases on ebay for $65 each (including shipping).

 

I hope this information comes in useful to somebody!

$65 is a small price to pay for not having to dust these bad boys.

 

Looks very nice.

Great display case! Thanks for the heads up. I am going to order one or two today.

Very nice case, thanks for sharing. I agree, a mirrored case works perfectly. I want one (or two) of those.
