I’ve had ModUCases for almost 2 years and they were HANDS DOWN the best collecting decision I’ve ever made... I collect Statue’s and Hot Toys and when I say zero dust gets in, I mean it... on top of that they look UNREAL, I see the same collection everyday I come home from work and smile every single time! Anyone about to purchase these it’s wise to purchase at minimum twice as many cases as you think you need, they take 6+ months to ship so you don’t want to run out of room by the time you get your shipment. I have 10 DF 120’s and only have half that filled up, and just know they are worth EVERY PENNY!
Appreciate the video. I’m learning that collecting isn’t just a hobby, it’s a lifestyle with long term commitment. It’s tough trying decide between displayability (open air with 360 all around view) and preservation (glass cases with limited view). Either way, it’s a serious investment if you want your statues lasting the longest.
Presentation is everything. I just can't comprehend why anyone would use those industrial ones. I see a few other collectors on youtube with those too and they all make your incredible statues look underwhelming. Those should be in your garage holding your toolboxes and garden hoses. It's like someone parking a Ferrari in the driveway of their mobile home.
I've used ikea detolf cases in the past. Never heard about moducases before this video. Really like the look. Looking into it now - I'll tell them 'Mr. X sent me' regardless lol.
I personally like and go for the “industrial” look. I have various wall clear-coated oak/pine shelvings with flat black heavy duty brackets. I also use metal cabinets and workbenches. It goes with the theme of my collection, Alien and Predator. ModuCases are awesome though, definitely nice-looking...definitely a must if you have various lines of different characters.
So I'm just starting to get into statue/figure collecting and happened to find moducases; ironically this video popped up in my feed the next morning. It was a great review and I will be going with moducases once I've got a couple of collectibles. I know they are expensive and I know that I am still new to this type of hobby but I know I do not want to buy cheap tables to display what will be my collection.
I mainly use Moducases. I have 2 DF120s, 2 DF130s, 3 Max140s, 1 Max150, 1 Max 70 and 3 custom cases as well as some custom modifications. You can also request risers, wall mounting brackets, additional weight bearing modifications, mirrored backing, and led strips or spotlights. They have also introduced a couple of new lines and recently saw some experimental boxed lighting they are working on. The main drawback, other than price, for Moducases, is their delivery time. I know they are working to improve that but I believe the current average wait time is around 6-8 months to receive your order. With that said, they are easy and great to work with if you have specific needs.
I use the Besta brown cabinets which holds at least 40 pounds per shelf. I like them because I can adjust the shelves but the downside is they don't make the clear doors for them anymore. They make doors but they have big borders on them now which can impede the sight of the statue pending on how tall your statue is. Also since there are no doors, they get dusty and it shows because the cabinets are dark brown. I periodically dust because of this. Thanks so much for sharing Mr X. 👍🏿
I’m so happy that this aired today. I asked this exact question today on the statue collectors Facebook page and everyone said IKEA but I don’t have one near me and the shipping is backlogged due to the virus. This helped a bunch!
I'm brand new in building my display right now. I think the first option may be what I end up going with. This was a great video that gave a lot of ideas.
Great info. I buy a lot of my shelving from estate sales and garage sales. You can get a great deal on nice high end shelving for a fraction of the cost of new.
I have 7 Statues on PO, 3 of which are Prime 1, 1/3 scale. I’ve quoted Max Moducases, but I’ve committed so much to Statue PO’s, that now I need to wait to place the Moducase order hahaha... The Joys in Life
Thank you so much, I just recently got into anime statue collecting and have been looking for more information on what kind of display options are available. I will definitely try the cubes to start off.
Excellent subject. I go for moducases. Although by the time they typically arrive, I’ve changed my collection. Those things take an eternity to arrive.
Thanks for sharing the information on the cases. It was very helpful as I begin adding to my collection. I purchased unfinished bookcases that I am using right now.
Mr.X could you make a video about the topic of taking care of the statues? Things like how and what to use for cleaning, how to deal with dust and others stuff. I think that would help new collectors a lot
I've just run into this exact same dilemma. I don't want to invest in specialty cases that I might outgrow or no longer want/need if I decide to get out of collecting. Great video Mr.X 😎👍
i myself use shelfs from Ikea. forgot their name but got good space, looks good and very strong :D great vid once more :D PS: Cant wait for a new video of you showing of your collection room (roomtour) hope for one soon :D
Howdy, Mr. E-h-h-h-h-h-h-x! I’m going to agree with Benji3008 and say that custom shelves are a great way to go. With so many statues, display options are somewhat limited when it comes to Moducases, but if you can afford to create custom shelves and cases/cabinets, you can literally display your statues in any way your imagination allows. I’ve done customs from Cherry wood, mostly because of the amazing strength of that wood. Costs a lot more than many other woods, and you are limited in the size of boards available, but the better carpenters can make it work. This is especially important as we purchase larger statues. We’re not going to fit a 34” XM Studios Transformers statue into a Moducase, so custom cabinetry is a perfect solution, though you can simply stand larger pieces on top of a Moducase. The beauty of the Moducase is the plexiglass that reduces/eliminates most dusting. Then, we get into the issue of backdrops which, in my opinion, finish a display. Will that backdrop be mirrors, framed posters, mounted comics? Then, of course, there’s lighting. Strip lighting, puck lighting, up lighting, down lighting, etc. Yeah, this ‘simple’ collecting thing starts off simple and becomes a quagmire of decisions. With custom shelving and cabinetry, including moldings, lighting and backdrops, your price can escalate quickly, but you get what you want to fit perfectly into your space. If you’re a Star Wars 1/4 scale collector and you want 4 Stormtroopers fanned out behind Darth Vader, you’re looking at a need for very deep shelving, or you’re looking at a custom arm (from iron.......not wood, unless you’re begging for an accident when that wooden arm snaps) so that Vader can stand out from his protection squad. When you graduate to 1/3 or 1/2 scale pieces, you literally find yourself with another challenge of finding cabinetry that can fit their size AND hold their weight. So, Mr. X is correct in recommending the shelving he uses for larger, heavier items, though they are visually uninspiring. There is probably a way to attach wood moldings to those shelves to give them a custom look to go along with their amazing second-to-none strength. Possibilities are only as endless as your imagination......and bank account! 😊 This video is one of the better “instruction/information” videos, so a huge thanks to Mr. X!
I’m waiting on my Moducases I have 4 on order. Taking awhile cause of Covid which is understandable and Bryan is by far one of the best when it comes to customer service
Working on a diy while watching this video. Dressing up those muscle racks you have. Its turning out great, but maaaan it's taking up a lot of time... I do think its going to be well worth it tho! Great video as always sir!
Lol I get my display cases from ikea and walmart. They are fairly affordable. Great video, aside from just collectible statues, it's good to discuss display cases and such to put them bad ass pieces on lol. Keep up the great content bro..
I build a show case out of old windows on a home someone was tossing I build a cube out of wood and put the window where it slides open to put stuff in it if I wanted to I could have put glass side's. Where I have the case at I can see every thing inside of it. Everyone that comes in I see there eye's just wandering around taking in EVERYTHING in. I enjoy collecting stuff the right stuff
Thanks! I was trying to figure out how to display my 1/4 statues. I don't have much. BUT!! wow. I really like your Beast Wars statues. Megatron over Dinobot is amazing
it’s crazy how ill watch a video and want to ask you a question and then boom the man the myth drops the video to answer my question :) respect thanks for the video
I have curios but those mainly house 1/6 and a few 1/4. They look great because they match other home decor but are just as expensive as Moducase without the ability to hold more weight as the glass shelves hold about 25lbs. I have shelves for other 1/4 and a couple moducase on the way.
Have two DF 120's but pre ordered a custom one for my xm Thanos with lady death. Then went and got a custom wall max for my berserk pieces. So yeah heavily invested in moducases but they are worth it and Bryan is awesome from there.
I've started switching over to Moducases. I have four MAX140 units two wide and two tall with more on order and love them. I have some Bestas and PAX units as well and will slowly transition those out and replace them with moducases. The PAX units are descent if the shelves are reinforced and lighting installed
I have 4 detolf display shelves but they’re only good for lighter weight items. Saw a collector’s glass shelves disaster having too much weight from statues result. Moving to new digs, I may get garage shelves and moducases... maybe slowly start getting due to my budget. Some Home & Garden cubes could work. Pedestals are another option but pricier next to moducases. Thanks for the vid. 😊
The moducase is by far the best looking but that price is high when I have to save up forever for a statue lol . appreciate the info going to look at all the options I have
This video was super helpful! Definitely glad to see something for prime 1 transformers, Just ordered my first few during the Prime 1 winter sale, will definitely be checking out the one from walmart!
I made a custom display units but I am saving up moducase I think it will just add that something special in the collect. No visitors can touch them which is a add bonus once they are in the case
Nice tip for the cube. I'll have to check them out. I personally love the Edsals for one reason. They're sturdy and can hold its weight. Last thing I ever want is a statue fatality. Personally, I think some of them look great.
I much prefer open air/ museum look on the top with cabinets underneath. I've only been collecting for a month but what I came up with is ; Purchase a well built 4 drawer dresser/chest. Big lots for instance. I went with the Andover espresso. Its built sturdy and looks nice. I didn't install the drawers nor track rails. Obviously the middle shelf piece is there for balance and a platform to set your 1:6 pieces in. I custom painted that shelf because its beige as well as the support panels that are nailed into the back of the dresser. Get a few L brackets or anything to prevent bowing and to prevent swaying with heavier pieces. I use dimming wireless puck lights that change colors as you please. My plan ultimately was to be able to set a larger p1 piece on the top and one at the bottom eventually. To me, having no glare and seeing a piece 360 degrees is what's important. I use miniature spotlights as well and even painted the lenses on some of them to really add to the mood. Some pieces I prefer natural white light and some I prefer color. As far as enclosed casing, I'm not a big fan because the statue loses somewhat of the aura.
Just started collecting and I’ve bought five 1:4 scale and preordered one more 1:4 and I’m getting three 140max plus cases. It’s about 6500 in statues and 1800 in cases. It hurts but they will be gorgeous when it’s all set up.
I have a combination of Muscle Racks (garage shelves) for larger statues, IKEA Bestas with glass doors, and IKEA Detolfs for 1:6 scale figures. Personally, I like the simple garage shelves. I like the 'industrial' look which matches my overall room aesthetic and I like putting multiple statues together and seeing them 'unframed' (and never having to worry about the weight). 👍✌
i am a new collector and i just bought a shelf from costco for 90 dollars canadian. probably gonna put glass in front of it myself. But I have been wondering what to do for displaying my statues. I also noticed on sideshow website that they have 1/4 scale display cases but there is a wait list. I am interested in that as well. let me know if you have seen it in person and how good it is.
I use the garage shelves “Husky” brand from Home Depot. Very similar to the Edsel ones you showed. They come in black or red with mesh shelves. I buy thin 1/8 inch wood, paint it the steel color to cover the metal mesh shelves.
I have 2 max140 plus Moducases coming soon and on the verge of ordering 2 more. These look great and I first saw MrX showcase a smaller one so I did some research and was like "yeah, I gotta get these"
I really dig the moducases but i hear they take quite a bit too come in so i recently just had custom acrylic cubes created for a couple of my pieces. The moducases really make your statues pop as they take your display too another level.
I was about to drop a message about those cubes. I do like them and they look pretty good. I have Gladiator Garage works on order. Taking 4ever for them to ship. 90 by 90 / 24 deep. Placed the order May 4th and still hasn’t gone out. Funny I bought it for the garage and now it’s for statues. 👍🏻
I think I'm going to try out that garage shelves in black with led spot lights LEDs for my small collection. Theres a dude on youtube who bought 2 and made them look light expensive shelves boxes like the ones you have that costs $300. 😁👍
I like an enclosed case so I don't have to think about dusting. The moducases look nice and I have a spot for them too. Wonder if there's a limit how many you can stack...
How are they with weight? They sag ever? I dont have a giant or heavy collection (not like this channel). I have lighter cheaper statues mostly anyway. poor people stuff ha-ha
I've been using the better home and garden stands, I like those quite a bit. I did build a custom stand for my two 1/3 pieces that I'll have ( only have 1 of the 2 now )
Moducase is the way to go! I just received mine and it's quality is top notch. They look good, protect your statues from dust, good lighting options, beautiful to look at your collection even from the side angles, stack-able design which is really good.
Great video as always sir. I didn't know about those cubes, seems like the are sold out most places. I'm in Canada here so will be harder to get i'm sure. I'm most likely just going to build my own since I have the wood. I can build the whole room up and as strong as I want for the big P1 pieces. It will be just like some of the others all 3 walls and all white with top lighting or even something like your Amazon lights why not. Also Jetfire makes me totally jealous when I see it. Don't let it hit the floor like that other guy did!.
Great display options, sadly I don't have the space for those displays cases, so I buy custom acrylic cases and I put them on shelves on the wall... and now I have officially expanded my collection to the dinning room and I need more cases.
You can get the moducase df 60's through Sideshow as I'm sure most collector's know. Mine have just been sitting on top of furniture I already have but I've thinking about picking up the moducases (slowly) and see how that works for my space.
I’ve been looking at doing garage shelving... the moducases are awesome but idk... feel like it might not show off the sides of the statues as much. Any thoughts on that?
Do you have any of the moducase max 140's. I'm thinking about getting one of them and later stacking another. I currently only have SS skeletor, and punisher PF, a toy millennium falcon, borderlands sanctuary ship model, and a mass effect cerberus normandy replica on it's way. So wanted your thoughts on the max 140. Hope to have more statues coming. Like new SS symbiote spiderman. Also did you do led strips? And if so if I plan to stack should I do 3 amp?
Yes. I have quite a few. On my room tour X-Men, Turtles, and the display just behind me on your right is. They're great. I have two stacked on each other for X-men. I get the bright white strips. More light.
I’ve had ModUCases for almost 2 years and they were HANDS DOWN the best collecting decision I’ve ever made... I collect Statue’s and Hot Toys and when I say zero dust gets in, I mean it... on top of that they look UNREAL, I see the same collection everyday I come home from work and smile every single time!

I have 10 DF 120’s and only have half that filled up, and just know they are worth EVERY PENNY!
buying without paypal impossible.
Appreciate the video. I’m learning that collecting isn’t just a hobby, it’s a lifestyle with long term commitment. It’s tough trying decide between displayability (open air with 360 all around view) and preservation (glass cases with limited view). Either way, it’s a serious investment if you want your statues lasting the longest.
Your collection is looking really organized. Nice work! The mix of different display shelves look cool.
Honestly I love the look of the cubes. There are also always great diy shelf tutorials online which allow you way more flexibility at the lowest cost.
Presentation is everything. I just can't comprehend why anyone would use those industrial ones. I see a few other collectors on youtube with those too and they all make your incredible statues look underwhelming. Those should be in your garage holding your toolboxes and garden hoses.

Same here
Thank you so much, you have solved such a huge dilemma for me on figuring out display options.
Custom shelving is amazing - but cheap and sturdy does the job as well.
I’m so happy that this aired today. I asked this exact question today on the statue collectors Facebook page and everyone said IKEA but I don’t have one near me and the shipping is backlogged due to the virus. This helped a bunch!

Thank you so much for this video. This is something I have been scouring the internet for and this was a very informative look at what I need.
I've been looking to get some Moducases for a while. Thanks for doing this video and showing the different sizes and stuff!!
Thank you so much, I just recently got into anime statue collecting and have been looking for more information on what kind of display options are available. I will definitely try the cubes to start off.
Excellent subject. I go for moducases. Although by the time they typically arrive, I’ve changed my collection. Those things take an eternity to arrive.
Thank you for making me aware of the moducases. Didn't know they exist. Again thanks a ton for this tip👀💪💪💪
Thanks for sharing the information on the cases. It was very helpful as I begin adding to my collection. I purchased unfinished bookcases that I am using right now.
your channel is my go to as a past time activity - thank you Mr X !

My statue collection is vicarious through you. But who knows, maybe later on. Thanks for the reviews and explanations. GOD Bless as always Brother!
How haven't I seen this already I've watched all your videos🤣🤣🤣....Great video 👏👍
Now I know what to get. Thanks Mr X.
I started with Ikea stuff and graduated to Moducase. I they're great and worth the money the cost is minimal compared to the collection cost.

This is perfect for me. I have been trying to figure out exactly what I needed. Thanks, man.
Nice to see different budget options
Mr. X, do you use the pure white or warm white lights from Moducase? Also LED strips or spot lights? Thank you!
And here I was thinking I was the only one using the better homes and gardens cubes for my collection. Such great cost to performance.
I’m waiting on my Moducases I have 4 on order. Taking awhile cause of Covid which is understandable and Bryan is by far one of the best when it comes to customer service
Working on a diy while watching this video. Dressing up those muscle racks you have. Its turning out great, but maaaan it's taking up a lot of time... I do think its going to be well worth it tho! Great video as always sir!
I plan to get lighting done in next few months on them and hopefully backs and front acrylic
Lol I get my display cases from ikea and walmart. They are fairly affordable. Great video, aside from just collectible statues, it's good to discuss display cases and such to put them bad ass pieces on lol. Keep up the great content bro..
I build a show case out of old windows on a home someone was tossing I build a cube out of wood and put the window where it slides open to put stuff in it if I wanted to I could have put glass side's. Where I have the case at I can see every thing inside of it. Everyone that comes in I see there eye's just wandering around taking in EVERYTHING in. I enjoy collecting stuff the right stuff
I really like the Walmart ones, you can get pretty creative with the placement of them
Thanks! I was trying to figure out how to display my 1/4 statues. I don't have much. BUT!! wow. I really like your Beast Wars statues. Megatron over Dinobot is amazing
Handy little video! Thanks Mr. X!
We have nice size fish tanks so going to use those because my collection is nothing like yours lol‼️Thanks for the tips‼️
it’s crazy how ill watch a video and want to ask you a question and then boom the man the myth drops the video to answer my question :) respect
thanks for the video

Thanks for the info and the links. I actually don’t have any statues but one day hopefully I will
I’m going to try Besta from IKEA but this video was really helpful.
I love those deeper cases
With the thin pressed wood the garage shelves use, did you have any concerns about shelves breaking?
I don’t. They’re rated for 800 lbs and I figure at most I put 250 on each one. And that’s an Xtreme situation. Most likely closer to 100-150
Have two DF 120's but pre ordered a custom one for my xm Thanos with lady death. Then went and got a custom wall max for my berserk pieces. So yeah heavily invested in moducases but they are worth it and Bryan is awesome from there.
Will always be a quality custom setup adapted to the room with good lighting.
Nice. Was thinking about those cases.
Cool display options! But those Custom shelves that Half-Fast Reviews made were insane. You should totally hire him for some custom shelves, haha.
This is the video I was waiting for!
I like the better home and garden cube with the lights
I've started switching over to Moducases. I have four MAX140 units two wide and two tall with more on order and love them. I have some Bestas and PAX units as well and will slowly transition those out and replace them with moducases. The PAX units are descent if the shelves are reinforced and lighting installed

This video was super helpful! Definitely glad to see something for prime 1 transformers, Just ordered my first few during the Prime 1 winter sale, will definitely be checking out the one from walmart!

Gotta pick up some moducases. They look good 👌
Thanks for the info. I am going to look at the WalMart ones for a section of my room. I currently have Ikea shelving.
Just started collecting and I’ve bought five 1:4 scale and preordered one more 1:4 and I’m getting three 140max plus cases. It’s about 6500 in statues and 1800 in cases. It hurts but they will be gorgeous when it’s all set up.
I have one thing too say about that beast wars megatron statue "YESSSSSS!"
I have a combination of Muscle Racks (garage shelves) for larger statues, IKEA Bestas with glass doors, and IKEA Detolfs for 1:6 scale figures. Personally, I like the simple garage shelves. I like the 'industrial' look which matches my overall room aesthetic and I like putting multiple statues together and seeing them 'unframed' (and never having to worry about the weight). 👍✌
i am a new collector and i just bought a shelf from costco for 90 dollars canadian. probably gonna put glass in front of it myself.
But I have been wondering what to do for displaying my statues. I also noticed on sideshow website
that they have 1/4 scale display cases but there is a wait list. I am interested in that as well. let me know if you have seen it
in person and how good it is.
That might be the moducase
I like the Walmart cubes. I think those look good and gives you space. Definitely want to look into the ones you have at the office also.
Those Moducases look cool....I'll have to look into getting some...
honestly needed this video
Going to be getting some of those walmart cubes. Thanks for the info!
I use the garage shelves “Husky” brand from Home Depot. Very similar to the Edsel ones you showed. They come in black or red with mesh shelves. I buy thin 1/8 inch wood, paint it the steel color to cover the metal mesh shelves.
I have a similar setup as you. Love the industrial look.
Great video, loving the 1st display cubes, will need to see if can find them here in uk
I have 2 max140 plus Moducases coming soon and on the verge of ordering 2 more. These look great and I first saw MrX showcase a smaller one so I did some research and was like "yeah, I gotta get these"
I really dig the moducases but i hear they take quite a bit too come in so i recently just had custom acrylic cubes created for a couple of my pieces. The moducases really make your statues pop as they take your display too another level.
I BUILT ALL MY SHELVES AND STAND FOR ALL MY 1/3 AND 1/4 SCALE STATUES LOOKS AMAZING AND SAVED A LOT OF MONEY....
Great tips! Appreciate ya!
I was about to drop a message about those cubes. I do like them and they look pretty good. I have Gladiator Garage works on order. Taking 4ever for them to ship. 90 by 90 / 24 deep. Placed the order May 4th and still hasn’t gone out. Funny I bought it for the garage and now it’s for statues. 👍🏻
Cool video!! Thx for sharing!!
Great show, thanks!
I think I'm going to try out that garage shelves in black with led spot lights LEDs for my small collection. Theres a dude on youtube who bought 2 and made them look light expensive shelves boxes like the ones you have that costs $300. 😁👍
I like an enclosed case so I don't have to think about dusting. The moducases look nice and I have a spot for them too. Wonder if there's a limit how many you can stack...
I needed this video. Appreciate it
I use Ikea besta shelves, you buy the shelves separately from the frames so it’s ideal for adjusting it the way you want for different sized statues
How are they with weight? They sag ever? I dont have a giant or heavy collection (not like this channel). I have lighter cheaper statues mostly anyway. poor people stuff ha-ha
I've been using the better home and garden stands, I like those quite a bit. I did build a custom stand for my two 1/3 pieces that I'll have ( only have 1 of the 2 now )
Moducase is the way to go! I just received mine and it's quality is top notch. They look good, protect your statues from dust, good lighting options, beautiful to look at your collection even from the side angles, stack-able design which is really good.
You pics were awesome
@@TheXtremeChannelMrX Thank you, Mr X! Cheers!
I use the shelving within a wall unit to display two statues. A dedicated display unit would be very nice though!
Once I get a few more statues I want to start getting the moducase. Seem like the best option
Nice tour Mr. X of the displays but would’ve like to display build like you do with statues
Great video as always sir. I didn't know about those cubes, seems like the are sold out most places. I'm in Canada here so will be harder to get i'm sure. I'm most likely just going to build my own since I have the wood. I can build the whole room up and as strong as I want for the big P1 pieces. It will be just like some of the others all 3 walls and all white with top lighting or even something like your Amazon lights why not. Also Jetfire makes me totally jealous when I see it. Don't let it hit the floor like that other guy did!.
I saw that... crazy
Thanks for the information.
Great display options, sadly I don't have the space for those displays cases, so I buy custom acrylic cases and I put them on shelves on the wall... and now I have officially expanded my collection to the dinning room and I need more cases.
You can get the moducase df 60's through Sideshow as I'm sure most collector's know. Mine have just been sitting on top of furniture I already have but I've thinking about picking up the moducases (slowly) and see how that works for my space.
Those Walmart cubes are great
I’ve been looking at doing garage shelving... the moducases are awesome but idk... feel like it might not show off the sides of the statues as much. Any thoughts on that?
Do you have any of the moducase max 140's. I'm thinking about getting one of them and later stacking another. I currently only have SS skeletor, and punisher PF, a toy millennium falcon, borderlands sanctuary ship model, and a mass effect cerberus normandy replica on it's way. So wanted your thoughts on the max 140. Hope to have more statues coming. Like new SS symbiote spiderman. Also did you do led strips? And if so if I plan to stack should I do 3 amp?
Yes. I have quite a few. On my room tour X-Men, Turtles, and the display just behind me on your right is. They're great. I have two stacked on each other for X-men. I get the bright white strips. More light.
@@TheXtremeChannelMrX thank you
Those cubes are nice
