I have a lot of MOC so they go on a pegboard just like at a store (my dad thought of this years ago- brilliant, Dad!)!  You can't see them all this way, but it does make nice use of limited space!

I love all the displays of large MOC collections. I've only got a few MOCs, so I simply display them with ponies of their own generation.

Thanks, everyone!  It makes me happy just going into that room and seeing all the ponies!

And no, I don't rotate them- I just keep adding stuff in front! LOL!  I actually have a curtain hanging in front of everything that I keep closed most of the time to keep off dust and prevent light fading the packaging.

I second that!!! How Wonderful! All those MOCs are just amazing - let alone on such a great display area! Well done to your Dad!! (can I borrow him for a while???)      :accomplished:

Yes, yes you may.  He is handy and hilarious.

Back when I had more space (and fewer MOCs) I got hold of these plate racks. They're for displaying collectable plates - I even emailed the seller to ask which sizes "plates" they would hold :)

If you live in a rental place and don't have the option of putting nails or pins in the wall, consider self adhesive hooks - the rental property safe kind. I put up an entire wall of moc g.i. joes in the last house I was at - haven't done that here because the walls were so wretched from smokers living here that even after a scrubbing if you get up close you can still smell the stale cigarette odour.

These are the exact ones I used, only they were way cheaper when I bought them in kmart

You will have tons of fun with the ruler and stepladder marking out where they go so you can get them all lined up just right :P

Some of mine are on shelves, others are attached to pinboards:

old pics, but you get the idea.

What's the story behind the MOC Baby Glory and Baby Moondancer?  I always thought those were packaged in boxes with a bunch of accessories, like the Baby Cotton Candy pictured below.

Cute displays everyone!!!

Fardreamer - In some European countries they came like that. In Denmark we had both types, but of course it was cheaper when it was just the pony, so most of mine were on card :)

I love the peg board *stores idea*

I have been using the self adhesive hooks, they have a nice wide hook part, so I've seen no damage to the card at all.

Yup, as Sebby says, that's how they came in some European countries - all six from that set were available on card. There seem to be two different card types - German (2 issues) and Benelux. Babies Moondancer, Glory, Surprise and Firefly weren't actually sold in the UK at all, but I used to buy them when on holiday in France/Belgium. Babies Cotton Candy and Blossom were sold in boxes in the UK along with Baby Applejack that were different from the US ones, but the accessories were similar.
