   Set up your bookcase in a prominent, well-seen location. Look around your home to see if there are any bookcases you could repurpose. If there’s no extra furniture lying around, consider purchasing or building a new bookcase to display your figures. If you want any guests and visitors to admire your Funko Pops, consider setting up the bookcase in your living room.

   • When purchasing a bookcase, opt for a model with adjustable shelves. This makes it easier to arrange your Funko Pops while they’re still boxed.
   • If you’d like your Funko collection to be private, consider keeping it in your bedroom.

   Place your least favorite Funko Pops on the top shelves. Sort your figures, dividing your favorites from the rest of your collection. Take the Pops you’re least passionate about and store them on the upper shelves of the bookcase. Even if they aren’t your favorites, they’ll still be visible from a higher level!^[1]

   • Consider putting your smaller Funko Pops on the topmost bookshelves as well. They won’t be seen as easily, but it’s more practical to keep your lighter items on the top of the bookcase with your heavier figures at the bottom.

   Arrange your favorite figures to be at eye level. Give your most cherished Funko Pops the best real estate in the bookcase. As is the case for books, the figures kept on the middle shelves are more likely to be seen by a passing glance. If you want to be extra organized, try sorting these treasured Funko Pops by franchise, or some other kind of categorization.^[2]

   • For example, if you have a variety of prized figures from different movies, TV shows, and games, try grouping them by the color of their outfits.

   Put your bulkiest Funko Pops on the lower shelves. Take your especially large figures and set them securely on the bottom shelves. As cool as the extra-large Funko Pops look, it’s important to keep the bookcase’s structure in mind. Just as you placed lighter Funko figures on the top shelves, make sure to place the heavier figures on the bottom.^[3]

   • Depending on how large your Funko Pops are, you might only be able to fit a single row of them on the bottom shelf of the bookcase. Keep this in mind as you organize your figures.

   Set up floating shelves to arrange your Funko Pops creatively. Purchase or make a few floating shelves to attach to your wall. Arrange them in rows along the wall to mimic a traditional set of shelves, or place them asymmetrically. If you’re feeling especially creative, opt for triangular floating shelves that will fit in a wall corner, instead.^[4]

   • Check to make sure that shelves are secured into the wall before you start using them to display any of your Funko Pops.
2. 2

   Use a rising shelf to show off your Pops at different heights. Assemble a shelf with risers on a flat surface (e.g., table, dresser, desk) to arrange your figures in a unique way. Since most Funko Pops are the same height, avoid displaying your unboxed figures in one large clump. Instead, place your favorite Funkos at different levels so they all can be seen at the same time.

   • If you’d prefer for them all to be at the same height, opt for stackable display shelves instead.
3. 3

   Purchase a themed shelf to display Funko Pops from a certain franchise. Look online for special edition display cases that go with certain shows, movies and games. If you have a lot of figures from one specific franchise, it might be worth it to buy a special case for them!^[5]

   • For example, there’s a special edition case for Funko Pops from the Stranger Things series.
4. 4

   Repurpose cupcake and nail polish holders for your figures. Purchase or reuse your cupcake and nail polish tier racks to hold your Funko Pops. Place these racks on a flat surface to display them, such as your kitchen table or desk. When arranging your figures, be sure to put the heaviest ones on the bottom tiers.

   • If a figure is especially top heavy, place it on one of the bottom tiers so it doesn’t cause a Funko Pop avalanche.

   Keep your prized Funko Pop in a singular case. Give your favorite figures a display case of their own. Fill up an entire case by keeping your Funko in the box, or show it off unboxed instead! If you’re looking to add a splash of decoration around your home, these cases can fit into small spaces. For especially beloved Funkos, opt to place your mini display case in front of other figures that you’re showing off.^[6]

2. 2

   Place your favorite Funko Pops in an acrylic case. Assemble a bunch of figures from the same franchise, or opt for no organization at all. Use the risers in an acrylic case to display your Pops like they’re part of a class photo. For this type of display, make sure that all of your figures are the same height.^[7]

   • This works best with smaller Funko Pops.
3. 3

   Set up a glass case if you want to keep your figures somewhere fancy. Make your Funko Pops the focal point of the room by placing them in a tall glass case. Similar in size to a bookcase, this display method lets you show off your figures like a retail store would. Since larger glass cases can cost over $1,000, consider using this kind of item to display your more expensive Funko Pops.^[8]

   • For instance, if you have the rare Ned Stark Funko Pop worth $1,000, this might be a great way to display it.
   • Since a glass display case is used to show off your most treasured items, consider keeping it in your bedroom.
4. 4

   Try using a baseball bat holder to show off your Funko Pops. Start by purchasing a bat display case from a craft or hobbyist store. Use the wide and short space to display your Funko Pops in long lines. If you’re looking to stay extra organized, dedicate each display case to a certain franchise.

   • To make your display case look extra cool, try hanging up a line of LED lights on the inside of it!
