So I'm sure that, like the rest of you, you're running out of shelf space for all your Mighty Muggs.

I was thinking about the fact that the Muggs have a little hole on the bottom of their feet. I would really like to see my Muggs displayed in "tiers." What I mean by this is that they would look cool on steps...kinda like bleachers. Whatever way you look at it, however, I want to gradually elevate my Muggs so that they are on the shelf in the very front and as you work your way back towards the wall, they rise a bit higher than the row in front of them.

So I was also thinking that the Marvel Superhero Muggs would look really cool on something that looked like buildings....rooftops, skyscrapers, water towers, etc. I think they would display really neat like that.

The same could be said for the Star Wars line. Why not something metallic/futuristic looking for the characters to serve as a backdrop....perhaps run a florescent tube through it and illuminate the backdrop.

What do you think would be a cool way to display your muggs? Anybody wanna try one of my ideas or make one for me? lol

Let's hear your ideas folks!

neat idea. right now i have mine on a cubby shelf. (i still need to upload a photo) but im running out of room... of course. i think i just wanna buy another shelf, just like my other one, and just put them right by each other. or i was thinking about building one massive shelf, with cubbies. actually i wouldnt build it, my brother-in-law would. hahahahahaha.

Mine are sitting on top of an armoire until I can find suitable shelving. I have no room for a backdrop or placed into scenes. Neat idea though.

I'm bumping this because I'm still looking for a cool idea to display every Mugg. I like the idea of wall-shelves, but I wanted to protect them behind glass. Anybody else have some bright ideas?

I ran out of space on my nightstand for my Marvel Mighty Muggs. I'm putting shelves on my wall this week to hold them. I'l post pictures for you guys when it's done.

im still in a pickle about how to display my muggs. i really would like one huge shelf... and my sisters husband is very crafty, so maybe i could ask him to make me one someday. otherwise, ikea has some really sweet shelves, they have neat glass ones too. i just want all of my muggs together, and it seems like no shelves are big enough. thats why i have mine turned on their sides... as shown in my pictures.
i like wall shelves alot too, but i live in an apartment, so im not sure if its a good idea to put big holes in the wall. haha.

I think wall shelves would look good in my room. I've got a perfect space picked out next to my Master Chief wall graphic. :)

right now mine are displayed on walmart shelves that were ten dollars. look at my post on the display your muggs thread. its basically two shelves. for my marvel ones i have the boxes setup like steps with the faces showing and the muggs on top of them.


but im also considering making my own levitating shelves with LED's in them, to light up the muggs from underneath. they will prolly be short, not necessarily long. ill post an instructable on here on how to do this once i get it started.lol. im really crafty and i like making my own stuff.lol.

since i treat muggs as designer toys, i will place my muggs along with modern things inside our house.. this can also go along with some of our art deco since this is also classified as an urban art..well thats just my plan actually..

I am also curious about ways to display them. I am seriously considering getting decorative ledges and putting them up on the wall. I hear Michael's is having a big sale this week and they don't cost much. They're plain wood- but it's perfect for priming it and painting it to your needs.
