2 MINUTE TOY BREAK !

I've finally put the finishing touches on my Swiffer dios,adding the Velcro wall mounts on them and placing the clear plastic covers on them to keep figures from falling out and to give It an encased finish.Below are the Velcro mounts I used. These Velcro mounts are cool because they allow for the displays to be removed and then re-attached If needed.The backs of the Swiffer boxes give you more than enough spots to place them.You can have them attached horizontally at the top and bottom or vertically over the two rounded indentations.     I chose to hang mine up on the exposed side of my shelving unit.The clear plastic covers really set them off I think and protect your figures at the same time.I would imagine this would be great for pretty much any collectible.You could paint up the background however you like and display everything from mini figures to baseball cards!If any of you guys ever decide to try this out ,I'd love to see them!       ...

Like I stated In my last post,Wal Mart has Star Wars Black Series 3 3/4 figures on sale for about $5 bucks a piece!While  most are from the new film there are  a couple of ROTJ based figures to be had.I snagged up the two I needed most,Jedi Luke and Lando! Also,digging around Inside my junk drawer I found 4 stands for one of our  smart TV's.We don't use the stands so I decided to go over two of them with some white paint and use them on my Star Wars winter scene dio. They fit perfectly inside of the round insets.  And now that I  finally have a Jedi Luke figure ,I went ahead and painted up a spare Swiffer box I had laying around all black.   Added two of those TV stands ,unpainted and now I have a dio for my Vader and Jedi Luke figures.I have since added a battery operated touch light and will have pics of the completed dio shortly.   But seriously,If your late to the articulated Star Wars figure scene and would li...

Those of you who follow this ,and other toy blogs I've had In the past,know how much I love using miscellaneous packaging and boxes to create backgrounds and dioramas.This time we look at Swiffer pad boxes! Not only do they make for  great little storage bins,but they also have a cool ,space vibe to them that work well for displaying  space themed figures.Also,this idea Is right up your alley If you're into recycling.You could get jiggy with It and paint It up If you'd like,or just leave It as Is.Other figures might work with this ,too, but I feel Star Wars works the best. If you have any cool diy toy display ideas ,I'd love to see them!If you're a toy collector,you know that shelf space Is always at a minimum so It doesn't hurt to get creative when looking for alternate display possibilities.
