Advice: Displaying SS Premium Formats and 1:1 Scale Busts

So I've decided recently that I want to buy some display cases/shelving from Ikea for my Sideshows PF's and 1:1s. But I honestly have NO idea which lines are the most popular amongst collectors here. I heard the Besta line was the best. (No pun intended. )

I've never bought from Ikea before so I haven't the slightest clue what would suit my collection best. Among them, I believe Thor is currently the tallest PF I own and the Grey Hulk PF is by far the heaviest. Is there even any cases that will accommodate such wide ranges of dimensions and size? Can anyone post some pics of how your collections looks in the Besta or any other Ikea display product? Pros? Cons? Advice? HELP!! Thanks.

Get the biggest cabinet that can fit to your space. You'll need as much space as possible.

Bestas are definitely the best.
Shelves that can hold alot of weight.

Was in the midst of saying that verified will be glad to champion Bestas, when my Internet failed. By the time I got back in, lo and behold, he's already proudly posted pics of his collection. As I was about to say, and you can see for yourself, he's got a good thing going on there.

There are other great setups from out fellow collectors here apart from using Bestas.

It all boils down to personal tastes eventually.

I am planning to design my own display system for my new place due to be ready this year as Ikea's not available in my small home town.

I personally like seperate pedestals with light up bases and glass casing for favorite pieces.

Hope you get a good setup either way, bro! Good luck.

The Besta and Billy shelves, and detolf cabinets are the most popular. I can finally afford to get some shelves and plan on jumping on the Besta bandwagon for my future PF's and detolf for future GG statues. Here are a couple really nice Besta displays I've come across...

That second pic is EXACTLY what I'm looking for. But I can't it figure out. Are those individual cubes that you have stacked on one another? Or is it one big unit? And did you have the glass installed separately?
