I have been looking at display cabinets for him. I'm leaning towards the Fabrikor from Ikea. Are you going to display him inside the box or outside? |
For the better part of the last 9 months my plans have been to put him back into the box and then to rig up a mounting system to display him mounted on my wall similar to what is seen around the 20 second mark in this video...
However after getting this guy out and handling him a bit I relly don't know that I want to put him back into the box now. For the moment I have him sitting on top of an equipment rack that I have in my movie room. He looks good there, but my plan is to paint the room this spring, build brand new shelving from floor to ceiling and remove much of the shelves/structures currently occupying the space. If I do that I won't have a place for him to sit and will need to figure something else out. the display case idea is a good one, but I'm not sure it would fit with what I want to do in the room. Given his size/build quality, I may end up looking for some sort of display pedestal and just have him on display that way.... Until I finish remodeling the room though it's anyone's guess how he'll eventually end up displayed.
On related note, I was Kickstarter # 719 according to my sticker. I'd love to see your guy's display options when yours arrive. My outer box was mostly in good shape, however the plastic piece inside that supported his head had exploded at some point and had several chunks knocked out of it and loosely sitting inside the box. Thankfully the bits I cared about are intact, but still strange. I'm curious to see/hear how yours arrive and what you plan to do with them.
