 mini fortune cat display?
I've been looking all over the web for a good way to display my mini cats. When I was a kid I had an odd grid-like shelf that had little compartments that would be perfect, but I haven't been able to find an analog. The closest thing I've found is a shelf for Hot Wheels or Matchbox cars, but I'm not sure the cats would fit and each unit is retardedly expensive. Anybody else found a good solution for displaying them in a wall-hanging shelf or grid?

 Re: mini fortune cat display?
I don't know if there's a good real product like this, but it sounds like what you really want is a Q*Bert boards:  I know I would love to have similar stands for my full size RxH figures. I know you can get clear acrylic blocks, but it seems like you'd need way too many blocks to build your own... some kind of modular and lockable kit would be awesome.

 Re: mini fortune cat display?
Have you tried Muji? They've got some pretty nice acrylic cases which seal in the back so the dust stays out. You can probably get the dimensions off their site and might be able to have a case or two sent to you if there isn't a location near your house.

 Re: mini fortune cat display?
That would be a perfect idea. Hmm, time to start revising my searches.

 Re: mini fortune cat display?
make it yourself with acrylic from TAP Plastics. Give them the dimensions of each piece and they will cut it for you. Use the special acrylic cement and glue together. easy! make sure to use 1/4 inch thick acrylic for easy assembly. here is the display I made for my RxH minis.

 Re: mini fortune cat display?
Holy shit Kirkland, that's the coolest display ever! I want a wall like that for full-size RxH now... I don't have room for any more on my big dresser shelf... (not that that'll stop me)!

 Re: mini fortune cat display?
the RxH minis are mindblowing when assembled in large groups. Everytime I see a picture like that I want to start collecting them.

 Re: mini fortune cat display?
Kirkland...that rules! If you're not into DIY, a friend of ours is making cases suitable for small toys as well: http://thisisnotatoycase.bigcartel.com/I've got a few of these and it fits mini fortune cats really well.

 Re: mini fortune cat display?
Whoa, cool. Are they in/near Chicago? I might be interested but would love to save on shipping if I could pick them up, it's nice the shelves are adjustable for normal RxH. I'd like them more if they had mirror backings, but still pretty snazzy.

Brilliantly done, Kirkland. Those eye-popping acrylic colors are perfect for the minis. Thanks for the good advice.

I'm sure pickup could be an option, let me know if I can help play middle man. These are hand made by a wood worker friend of ours so I'd bet mirror backing could be done. I've got a few regular size RxH figures in one at home, they fit nicely.

 Re: mini fortune cat display?
@ Kirkland. The bottom row with the customs and black unpainted is great. Is that all the unpainted black that were released?

 Re: mini fortune cat display?
Ikea also has a new display case that's an alternative to the deltof. Seems like it would work for a shit ton of minis if you could get extra shelves. http://www.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/products/00093136@aquaphase I'm pretty sure there's a store in Frisco.

 Re: mini fortune cat display?
Thanks @blakewest. Yeah, I buy all my Deltofs up in Frisco.
I'm working in CAD right now to design out a shelf that I can have Pokono cut for me at not too bad of a price (way sub $100). When I get it designed out, I'll be more than happy to share it around here.
