The Best Ways to Display LEGO Minifigures
15th November 2022
Minifigures are arguably the most collectable aspect of LEGO, with many now commanding a price tag of hundreds of pounds, dollars, or Euros. They're the most prized possessions of many an AFOL due to their exceptional quality and design. They can also make for excellent investments, with the price of some minifigures having skyrocketed in the past few years.
Regardless of whether you're buying minifigures for your own enjoyment, or that of someone else's in the years to come, their condition is of utmost importance. LEGO is fairly durable, but many minifigures have some delicate elements that can easily get damaged, such as cloaks, thin headpieces or accessories, and metallic finishes. Therefore, if you want to protect them from harm, and fully showcase your collection, it's worth putting some time and money into displaying them well.
In this article we provide a run down of some of the best products for displaying your minifigures that will allow them to take centre stage in your home or office.
iDisplayIt
IDisplayIt are a UK company that have been supplying professional display products to LEGO lovers for 16 years. They offer an extensive product portfolio, with display solutions to suit every budget and collection. This includes both wall mounted and desk or shelf-based cases, with capacity ranging from a single minifigure, all the way up to 100.
The display frames are all made from acrylic, which provides excellent visibility for your collection. For the cases designed to be positioned on a horizontal surface, the display platforms are available in either black or white, while the wall mounted frames have the same colour selection for the rear panel. As display platforms are provided with all the cases, iDisplayIt products represent great value for money.
Their products are also some of the highest quality and most robust on the market, so there's no danger that they'll fall apart any time soon. Therefore, you can be rest assured that your minifigures will be completely safe from harm.
If you would rather display your minifigures in the open air, there are some classy display plates that can house two to six minifigures.
iDisplayIt offers shipping to the UK, Europe, and the US.
Digs for Figs
Digs for Figs is a UK based company that have been making specialist display cases for LEGO minifigures since 2013. They have one primary product, which is a wall-mounted, front-opening frame that's available in either black or white. Having a narrow focus has allowed them to produce a display case of exceptional quality with a beautiful, sleek, and perfectly proportioned design that's also very attractively priced. The frame is 64 stud wide and there are 7 shelves, which means they can fit over 200 minifigures.
The company encourage you to be creative with your displays and create “miniscenes”, where minifigures are shown in action in your own brick-built environment. This is made possible due to the versatility of the case's generous 6-stud depth and height. Digs for Figs now run an annual competition where the best miniscene wins a free display frame, so if you think your building skills are up to scratch, it's definitely worth entering.
Delivery is available to the UK, France, Germany, and the Netherlands.
Wicked Brick
Wicked Brick are another UK based company and are one of the largest suppliers of LEGO display cases. They offer both wall mounted display cases and display podiums that integrate into IKEA storage units, which are great if you have existing empty shelves to fill. Wicked Brick also sell individual wall mounts and display platforms that allow you to construct your own unique tiered display solution. These are especially handy if you have limited wall space.
There is also plenty of versatility with the standard wall mounted display cases, as you can select from several widths and heights, so there's bound to be a case that's just right for you. For the most serious collectors, their largest display case has room for up to 250 minifigures, and you'll be hard pushed to find a bigger one anywhere else on the market with the same quality.
All mounted cases have a full acrylic outer shell for fantastic visibility that are screwed together for good protection. Although Wicked Brick are not the cheapest on the market, they provide premium products that are worth the spend.
Wicked Brick offers delivery to the UK, Europe, the US, and many other international locations.
