Yup all my Gokins are in the Philippines. We have many Hobby Shop in the Philippines so it fairly easy to get except for exclusive items w/c they bring in small quantity. The price is cheaper too coz of competition, also, some individual bringing in direct from Hong Kong so you have choices.

Hahaha I can't imagine how I'm going to bring those huge Mazinger in Malaysia I need to book a separate seat for it

Philippine Chogokin collectors not that many but quite active in the forums and meet ups. Bigger market is Gundam, Sentai/PR & TFs. Moderate number of collectors for Bust/Statues and anime figs.

My wife is a big fan of Optimus Prime. My kids are your normal kiddos that what they watch on the movies & TVs they want to have it. Good thing now that after they played w/ it they stored it back to the cabinet.

The Black Shin Getter 2 never reached Philippines shore, still available in HLJ but saw your price before and it's cheap. Should have contacted you when I was in KL last Oct 2008. Anyway, Aoshima products is not on my priority list as I'm concentrating on Bandai Soul Of Chogokin GX Series.

ok think its enough about "how to get stuff" in here

it suppose to discuss about display cabinet in here

Got myself a detolf 2 months ago.
There's 2 colour of the base and top to chose from which is black and beige/wood.
Each compartment is quite spacious, can fit four non-posing 1/60 gundam.



Will get a second detolf after i filled in this 1 with my goodies

How much you bought for the lights? Need to drill etc to install it?

the ikea light is RM70 which took a chunk right out of me
It's more economical to install ur own light such as those short pendaflour.
Supposingly u will need to drill the top of the detolf plank to install the light but i used a metal wire and tied it to the light and hold the metal wire that sticked out on top with a big clip.(i'm not very good with drills)

there s already a light hole on top of detolf what...no need drilling already

and there s also cheaper detolf from ikea...then rm50 one for one pair

but the halogen light i bought cannot fit into the hole.
drilling is required bcos there's no small hole for the screw to hold the light only got 1 big hole.
I didn't know there's halogen light selling at RM50 a pair.
Ikea only selling either 1 light or three of them in 1 pack.
Maybe i bought the wrong light.

there is one type of lights they come in set and made for detolf one

they always put the light near the detolf on the self pickup area there

I see.
Thanks bro Vinc for the heads up.
Now i know where to get cheap light if i'm getting my 2nd detolf

anyone using acrylic steps for their detolf? i have one but my figurines are quite small



from the photo you can see my nendoroid petit are overcrowded and the ones at the back are not really visible at all.

I am not sure where i can get something like acrylic steps for detolf.

googled it abit and saw a few forums in singapore selling it but i was wondering anyone in Malaysia doing it?

Mine rather quite simple. haha, then later on wrap up with plastic cover

my showcase were bought from IKEA a few years back.

top shelf


bottom shelf

dude ppl dun display nenpuchi like that...that's more like a primary school assembly hall to me...
the acrylic steps,u can pretty much walk into any glass cutting shop or any shops that make advertisement boards/banners/buntings,they have it,u just need to tell them ur measurement, and they'll do it for u. It's quite expensive though when ur size is big =)

i use aquarium to keep my treasure safe from dust..

its nice.. i also planning to custom a display case like urs.. but with plastic or light glass.. coz the aquarium quite heavy rite??

WELL .. DEPENDS ON HOW YOU ARRANGE IT, I USED GLASS COZ PLASTIC MORE EXPENSIVE THAN GLASS AND NOT MUCH CLEAR EFFECT SAME LIKE GLASS. PLASTIC AQUARIUM 40 SOMETHING BUT GLASS ONLY 28 ON SAME SIZE.

Anybody know where to get those foam like lines with glues on one side as shown in Detolf Dust prove method?

What are they called?

i ended up using RM5 transparent cases from Daiso to stack up my petits



Still need to get more tho.

check out the link, http://www.onesixthwarriors.com/forum/show...ighlight=detolf
i believe u can get it from hardware shops like Ace Hardware or even those smaller hardware shops outside

i display my figures on this shelf. got glass covers so can protect from dust. but kinda limited spacing..
