Not to mention that gloss just gives it that clean look!
I agree!
Great video. Nice to go through all these acrylics.
Thanks John! A lot of requests for this video :)
This was a fantastic video. I just got my first figure with an acrylic custom display case and I love it so now I'm looking for some spots that do cases and you gave some great recommendations I'm going to look into.
Glad I could help!
Those cabinets are gorgeous!
I’m talking to the maker of them this Saturday on a livestream
As an Australian this episode was especially useful for me! Cheers. #BFdisplays
Gotta love the Aussies :). You are entered Vegan! Thanks for watching!
Hello, I just received my order of a few hard acyclics from B.F. Displays that I ordered and I love them all. I especially love the mint on card having the guard rails going from top to bottom, so awesome. I want to thank you for letting me know about this company. Thanks again, Augie
I think they are great too! The space that they save on the sides is what I like too. BF is narrower than other acrylics :)
This was very informative and I appreciate the time you’ve take to review these products. You had me at ‘indirect sunlight’ I need to get some protection! (UV that is).
You are most welcome Patrick! I’m glad you found the video of use :). Gotta protect those figures!
Very informative video! I like the stands where it notes what movie the figure is from.
Thanks Joseph!
I love those moc acrylic cases, theydisplay so well! They do range in price however, depending how deep the case is, related to the depth of the blister.
#BFDisplays look great! Always love to put my collection in acrylics! Keep up the great videos!
Thanks Mac! You are entered!
That's a really sharp setup with everything white (including the desk)
Thanks Melvor! It’s a small room so over expoing the walls is a way to hide how small the room is :).
It took me a while to come around to acrylics, but once I dipped my toe in, I never looked back. Besides the protections they provide, just seeing items in acrylic elevates their look (something you mentioned as well). Items look like Museum pieces in them. It's amazing.
I've only ever purchased acrylics from Iain's here in the US, and have never had a bad experience. My only gripe for the Vintage SW MOC acrylics that come from Iain's/GW was the excess space on the sides of the card rails. There's approx 1/4" on both sides & on the top. And while a 1/2" of wasted space doesn't seem like much, it forced me to change how my MOCs were displayed on my custom built shelves (that were originally designed with star cases in the mind). Previously I could fit six figures across, now having used up an additional 2 and 1/2 in in width, I can only display five figures, or I have to angle all the figures slightly to fit six. Again not a huge issue, but definitely an inconvenience.
All that being said I've heard that the BF MOC acrylics for the vintage Star Wars figures have less waste space. I'm inclined to place an order for some since they have US distribution and see how these fit in my displays in comparison. I'm sure you have both in your possession Joey, and would like to see more comparisons on that If you have a chance. Maybe even in just a RUclips short or something. Definitely information worth covering.
I can't advocate enough for the use of acrylics if it's within your budget. Like you mentioned sometimes you're paying almost as much for the acrylic as for the actual item itself, so you have to keep that in mind. But if you want a way to really protect your collection and enhance the viewing aspects of your pieces, you can't go wrong.
Another great episode my friend. Thanks for covering this topic. Look forward to seeing more about it in the future.
#BFDisplays
Hey Mopar! As always thanks for the wealth of info that you provide in your comments! You are a true Jedi! Thanks for taking the time to write those for us :). You are entered and you also get extra entries being a member of the channel! Thank you!
Great video 💪🤓 I let them breathe 😉 but after watching this video I might get a few cases for some items.
Haha thanks Deano!!!
The acrylic stand for the Detolf case looks good! It has 4 tiers so I’m not sure if it will fit my Funkos on the top tier. But I’d be interested in trying one out so #BFDisplays
Great video Joey!
You are entered! Thank you so much for watching!!! Good luck and I hope those funkos fit!
Hy Joey great review !
Thanks Pascal! Thanks for watching :)
I don't have many acrylics for reasons you may remember, but I do find them useful for small loose figure dioramas, for instance my loose Mego Micronauts alien figures and modern Takara Microman.
A bonus is the all important Keeping Dust Off Of Them!😂👍
Hey Acro! Yes dust Kills them. Great reminder! Thanks for watching my friend!
Great vid on the pros and cons of Acrylics and that is a really varied selection from #BFDisplays - competition is always good for collectors (unless it’s an auction 😂)
Hey Soda! Good to see your comments again! Yes we need more competition in every space! (I agree except auctions lol). Thanks for watching and you are entered!
Another great video. I switched over to the PET cases for economic reasons. (I would have spent a couple thousand dollars on cases alone). I love them. I will eventually get everything in acrylic bu5 for storage purposes, the PET cases work great. #bfdisplays
Hi Lera! I agree that the PET cases are more economical! Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment! You are entered!
#BFDisplays
Another fun watch. Always look forward to TPC.
Hey Darren! Thanks my friend! You are entered! Thanks for watching and good luck 🍀
Great video!!
Thanks Jay!
Acrylic cases that I like the best I get from CGA, a division of AFA grading company 👌. They really are very top notch. Some I had to get from Iain's because they didn't make one of a certain box toy. What ever protects your valuables😂👍
I'll have to check them out for their playsets! CGA is the brand I sell on my website :)
I'd like to buy more select figures to try grading and to get some in acrylics. I'd like to get some Canadian Kenner MOC myself.
hey Smirking! Grading figures took collecting action figures to a more enjoyable level for me, as far as buying them loose and sending in. Made me more aware of condition, authenticity, and how to judge if a figure is as it’s best state before sending in. I really enjoy it.
Finally someone is Australia is making these. I will definitely be looking into them. #BFDisplays
Hey Glynn! You are entered! Cheers to Aussies 😃
#BFDisplays
good to see an Aussie product leading the way!
Hey Shane! I have a special place in my heart for the Aussies. It’s the only country I ALMOST moved to ;). You are entered! Thanks for watching
Thanks for another great video and thanks for sharing your research with us once again. Take care. #BFDisplays
Thanks Dan! You are entered!
Great video! Some nice displays cases there Joey.
#BFDisplays
You are entered Kev! Thanks for watching!
#BFDisplays I’m in need of some acrylics. Thanks for the review.
You are welcome Sam, thanks for watching! You are entered!
I love Acrylic’s! I’m going to get them for my loose when I finish getting every figure’s and for my MOC’s!
#BFDisplays
Hey Jokers! That’s awesome! The MOC cases are def my favorite and they are the ones I will continue to get.
#BFDisplays Another Great video! Looking forward to seeing how the Death Star case comes out
Thanks Jason! You are entered and as a member you get extras entries! Yea when that DS case comes out they are going to sell out quick!

Great episode. Have been contemplating getting some acrylic cases for some time and this being an Australian retailer ticks all the boxes!
Thats awesome that this company is in Australia for you :) Thanks for watching, and you are entered!
good video, brother. Happy Father's Day, my friend.
Thanks Joe! Happy Fathers Day and thanks for watching!
Nice review. I know I missed the contest but I am def interested in more about #BFDisplays. Nice looking product.
Hey Casey! There will be more contest soon! But definitely check them out! Thanks for watching
Great Video on Acrylic Cases!! #BFDisplays
Thanks Dustin! You are entered :). Thanks for watching!
#BFDisplays . I really do love acrylics. Great video covering them as usual!
Thanks Chris! You are entered and get extra entries for being a Patreon member!
#BFDisplays
Nice to see a local company doing well.
They are a great company and I was happy to have them on the show! You are entered Dav!
#BFDisplays. These look great. Ordered my first graded item at ICCC with the case to see what it’ll look like in my collection.
That case should look great! You are entered Anthony, thanks for watching!
Great video.. as usual!! #BFDisplays
Thank Chris! And Thank you for watching!
#BFDisplays Great episode and totally agree they are a form of once off insurance in the protection of condition without the sealed limitation of a graded item
Thanks Richard! I'm glad you enjoyed the episode :). You are entered!
Those look great. My only concern is the shipping. Might have to price some stuff out. Lains is the best for playset cases.
Thanks Ken! I agree, he has some great offerings!
#Academy - I’ll get it right sooner or later. Thanks Joey!
Thanks for being a member of the Padawan Academy on Facebook Todd!
#BFDisplays I've used both Iain's and Canadian Acrylic Displays, but its always great to have new products in the market. New manufacturers almost always bring some new innovation.
I agree! All the companies I shared in this video, I stand behind, and BFs Displays is one of them. Thanks for watching Monster Bash, you are entered!
#bfdisplays really looking forward to getting my 1st acrylic soon.
Hey Sam! You are entered! Good luck and thanks for watching, I hope you get that first acrylic too!
Very informative Video Joey... Keeping it real, I think the acrylic displays put out a professional touch while protecting them but it can get monotonous if everything is cased up. Im not a completist by any means... so I enjoy breaking up the toy lines. I could always use a nice display case for a playset tho! #BFDisplays
Thanks Frak! I'm glad you found the video useful :). You are entered!
I think that acrylics are great especially for UV protection .#BFDisplays.
I agree! You are entered! Thank you for watching MRK!
#BFDisplays I don't have a lot of Acrylic, but what I do have it really does make things look nicer, and does class up your collection a bit.
I agree Jeff! You are entered! Good luck my friend
#BFDisplays
Great video again, thanks augie
You are entered! Thanks Golf!!!
Update 3 3/4 in blister cases for joes are $2.00 each now and shipping is expensive.
Thanks for the update my friend!
I’m a big fan of Acrylic display for my high end items, no brainer imo
#BFDisplays
Agree Adam! You are entered and get extra entries for being a Patreon member!
#BFDisplays Great video as always Joey.
Thanks Peter! You are entered!
TCB⚡ Top Notch Acrylics That Step Stand is Killer. #BFDisplays
Thanks Gillster! Yea the step stand is my favorite and I am keeping one for my own collection. You are entered PLUS you get extra entries for being a channel member!
IMHO Acrylics are an essential part of vintage toy collecting, thanks for your objective views and opinions #BFDisplays
Hey Darth! I always try to be as objective as I can, and let you decide your actions based on the info. That make me happy and honored for you to say that. You are entered!
#BFDisplays I use acrylics for all my SW pieces too. And like you, I’m also waiting for one for my Death Star.
Hey Rob! The DS acrylic would sell out like mad if someone offered it haha.
@@thepadawancollectorofficial I probably shouldn't share because I want one, but Iain told me they're coming soon.
I'm looking to buy an acrylic display case for my Stan Solo Bantha box and the Ubrikkian Speeder box. Can suggest the best place to obtain them from?
BH displays may be able to make you a custom case???
Serious question, as far as durability and integrity, I noticed what appears to be a Crack in the case behind you on the top shelf, are the cases that sensitive to being bumped or temperature or was that a delivery flaw.? I am interested in getting some cases soon, what that case from one of the companies you mentioned? Thanks for any input.
Hey Card! I bought the case like that from the seller who threw that in for free. But yes, these bigger cases are very prone to stress cracks when moved. They don’t handle twists very well and are very rigid.
#BFDisplays. Informative video as always
Thanks Tim! You are entered! Plus you get your extra entries for being a channel member!
#BFDisplays
I’ll gladly try the comic acrylic slabs.
You are entered John! Plus you get your extra entries for being a channel member
Do you have a place you recommend that does custom sizes? TIA, and thanks for the great video very informative -
BH displays does customs and with the quality that they have their cases I would go to them first.
Thank you very much for the response, will check them out! @@thepadawancollectorofficial
I just brought and received 3 figure shields acrylic cases and there’s a chemical smell. should I air them out before putting figures in them or does it matter?
I would definitely air them out for a month and see if the scent continues.
#BFDisplays - They look great but shipping cost will definitely be a deciding factor. I'm in Canada.
Hey Philip! The owner did say they have worldwide distribution, so contact them and see what Canada distribution looks like. Thanks for watching my friend :)
Hi Joey. I have used Ian's displays but would be interested in trying #BFDisplays
Thanks Daniel! I really enjoy using Ian’s displays but I also will be using BFs Displays, especially for MOC acrylics. Thanks for watching and sharing your comment :)
Always great videos TPC, I wanted to ask your opinion on something: my collection contains multiple complete playsets, meaning box, instructions etc. Should I display these playsets out in the open or should I box it up and display the box itself? I know it's probably a preference thing but what would YOU do? Thanks as always!👍👍👍
Hey Garwiche! Space is an issue for me so that’s why I choose to keep them in the box. If space wasn’t an issue I would collect a boxed version and keep the contents in the box and one loose version to display outside the box. But for now, I just have the boxed version displayed with all the contents inside the box and the box inside an acrylic display.
@@thepadawancollectorofficial precisely why I asked. The space! Or lack thereof 🙄
Though I don't mind having space filling up with my favorite hobby lol, thanks Joey! Have an awesome week!
You too Jacob!
Hello, I tried ordering a couple of acyclic cases, but when I was checking out, it asked for a county, and it allowed Australia not to United States any ideas?
Thanks, AUGIE
I send your message to the owner, and I will get back to you on what he says. You can also join their facebook group at BFs Displays
Thank you for getting ahold of them....they fixed the issue, and now I was able to order my 3 acyclic cases with no problem. Thanks again for following through....Augie
#BFDISPLAYS. GREAT VIDEO !!
Thanks! You are entered Robert! Thanks for watching 😎
#bfdisplays informative video.
Thanks Jose! You are entered :)
Hello! Been a subscriber for a while, and wanted to ask a question, do you know much about epm's on the handles of pop up lightsabers from r2d2's?
I bought a collection from someone, and everything was legit, he had been sitting on it for over 30 years and most of them were from his childhood, when examining the lightsaber, I noticed there was no EPM on the handle. Which seems odd, but im very convinced it is real, plus on imperial gunnery, it said there are Pop up lightsabers around from the POTF that have no epms.
It passed all the other authenticity tests, is there any advice you could give about authenticating it?
Hey Garren! You have done all the right research so far and have done everything I would have done. Here is what I would do to get more peace of mind: I have a Facebook group called the Padawan Academy, you can join that group and post some pics of it there. Try to have them be as detailed as possible. There are A lot of collectors on that group who can help you. There is also the Imperial Commissary Facebook group as well.
Iains makes great stands too.
Indeed he does!
#BFDisplays very interesting video and product
Thanks Mannz! You are entered!
#BFDisplays Nice episode
Thanks Marco! You are entered!
Could someone help?! I need LJN Advanced D&D figure acrylics. Any leads?
A company called Iains Display Accessories sells them. Great company and I use their acrylics for the majority of my collection.
@@thepadawancollectorofficial thank you so much!
Nice. But the best way to display..
I agree 🙌🏼
Here in Brazil, acrylic displays are very reflective, I believe that is not what happens in the USA and other places
Hey Edwin! What do those cases look like?? I’ll have to look it up 🤓
#BFDisplays
You are entered Steve!
Just got screwed over by gonktoys. One protector didn’t fit and i think they sent me the wrong since i pre measured everything. And the other protector came cracked
