How to display unpunched TMNT figures

Hello

I was searching on how to display unpunched TMNT figures and came across this forum. I wanted to sign up to share another solution for this. Boy did it take a while though


So I have included pictures as well.

Finally got my Teenage Mutant Hero Turtles and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Wacky Action figures on display. Used sticky hooks in an unconventional way to display the unpunched figures on the wall. Thus tweet even got a like from Pixel Dan.

Welcome aboard and great job with that!

I'm a fan of acryllic cases, pro-tech cases or zoloworld cases for carded figures, and those usually have a tab at the top too.

But this is definitely a really solid idea for unpunched cards without aftermarket cases. Really solid....

I have a few questions about your setup.

Are there any windows in your turtle room?
Are you at all concern about the blisters yellowing?
What about dust? How often do you dust these display?

Thank you, searched myself and saw this forum, and found a solution. Was eager to post, but registration takes weeks.

Thank you, I would use cases for more expensive items. I have some from UK graders.

Good thinking! Yes, there is a window in the room, directly in front. I never thought about yellowing to be honest, dust? Oh wow, you should see my collection, it’s covered in dust ???? I hardly ever dust them. But you’re right, it’s important to think about these things for the longevity of their condition.

Just a warning I have used those sticky hooks. Sometimes they didn't stay sticky. Might be the room/space I had them in though.

That’s true. On some hooks I’ve used a stringer glue to stick them to the walls.
