because they lack space like i said? or got too many used item for sale?

Mandarake wor

Like I said either they low in space or have too many used products on sale.

Cramp or not, most consumers will likely come into the shop. Thats including me. Though the Sogo toys display made me cringey because gunpla like assembled by newbie.

I think you need to see more from out Malaysia, as most Malaysian gunpla shop dont really standing out.

Sometimes displaying in dense can be attracting ppl as well especially when u arrange those in same series together. Might attract u to buy the whole series LOL

Displaying is just some art that not everyone will love it..
It goes same for collecting which grade...u love which grade then just collect... no need to listen to or force others to follow ur style. This is very personal thing. Some ppl loves to collect posters while some feel that it's just paper why waste place and time to collect.

Who cares if this is for ur own view..U see it, u happy, then settled.
U can display 50 units of zaku-ii in rows to make it looks like mass production in factory..
U can buy 7 units of unicorn and spray it to rainbow colours

Btw, this is also just my personal view =D

Since we are in this topic, i really wouldn't mind to see some of your collections - can you guys share some pictures of how you display your model kits ?

i don't know about Japan as much like you guys but Singapore shops are more or less like Amcorp in terms of display, all cramped out but most of them sell old stuffs, or used/vintage which requires them displayed so potential buyers can check them out. Space is a luxury only few shops can afford sparsely displayed style.

Isetan lot 10 has some what you call luxury of having too much space to display. XL-Shop, Shioktoys are the one that doesn't look cramp. The ones in Amcorp mostly look like toys living in pigeon holes. Sungei Wang have few shops with good display. price wise i don't know.

but then again if the shop focus on selling small stuffs i guess it cannot be avoided that their display will look cramped but there are ways to make cramped display neat. you need to invest in some stair stands.

Haha my display not a lot of kit because lot of big kit

for shops, if they sell alot of old stuffs or used stuffs they have to display them. if you into them it's fun to spot all the characters and rare ones, even if they aren't for sale. but it's very different in terms of purpose because they won't look good when you glance at the shop, it will look messy, but only fun if you into the stuffs. like the ones in Amcorp.

the IT toy in BJT is different because it has so much space to display.

the sazabi is plated version or you painted it?

wouldn't it look better if they were facing different direction?

Those all are custom painted and modify. Actually got few more kit I want to move around display just need to wait until I finish then only start real pose those 2.

@chriswoo nice zetas !!!

Wow are the MG deepstriker a Pbandai?

21,600yen easily RM800++ here!!!

Retail release at 20,000yen.
Other site got list 16,000yen after discount but high shipping cost + probability to get custom tax might as well buy here for less hassle.

Rm800 and below is good price.

I think everyone has difference preference when it comes to decorating their own collection.

No one is right or wrong.

BTW, that's some sweet candy red kits right there. How many bottles of paint did you used? chriswoo

mainly displaying UC in shelf and another rack for various MG




Attached thumbnail(s)

just 1 clear bottle of red paint along with some other couple paint bottle other color for entire kit.

found a review here.

despite all the details, it is still look kinda plain
perhaps this expensive kit not worthy for straight build, must custom paint a little to bring out the power

If you notice, Toriko didnt panel line and applied any marking sticker on the kit. If want to bring out nice appearance just need more decals and some shading on it.

If the deepstriker wasn't put on the stand, it's actually not tall
