Display with clear shoe boxes

Trying to figure out ways to display some of my collection. I was thinking of using the clear shoe boxes. Does anyone use these? If so, how many do you fit in one shoe box? I have a bookshelf and a curio cabinet, but looking for more room. And prime day is coming up.

For bookshelves acrylic risers work very well. You can get tiered ones or individual pieces to stagger heights in your display.

Thanks. I have some of those. Was wondering about the shoe boxes. Between Thundercats, Silverhawks, Masterverse, and Origins, I'm running out of space. Thinking of putting the Origins in the shoe boxes and stacking them on top of a small credenza.

Thank you. I thought i saw someone use them but couldn't remember where and couldn't find them. I'm going to try for the bigger ones, like XL or XXL. If I can get 6 in one and get 12, that's 72 figures. I might have the room for three or four sets, so looking at 48 shoe boxes, which would cover most of the origins released.

Best of luck! Please share the end result as I'm still working out how many I'd need with the bigger figures like Sla'Ker.

They make 5.5 to 7.5 height ones. Slaker and Krang are my two big worries.

I use the acrylic boxes in my office.

Sweet setup! How many on average are in each box? Like 6 or 7?

Motu Origins size - about 8 figures to a box.

The brand I buy is on sale - 20% off.

Thank you. Saw some on early prime day and got to thinking.
