Pony display case suggestions?
« on: February 15, 2012, 11:57:30 AM »
My guy recently got me my  childhood dream pony 'Princess Sparkle' from ebay, without her box.

She is so lovely and I really want to show her off, but without putting her at risk of damage or dirt.


Right now I am keeping her inside Rarity's carrige box since this is all I have, just to keep her safe from dust and such, but I'd love to get something more permanent and elegant :nod:


What display cases do you use if you do, and where did you get them?

Or is there another solution? Could I build one myself?


Thanks for any advise!

I can't think of the Swedish word but I have a couple of these

http://www.pandurohobby.dk/Catalogue/60-Gem-Opbevar/6010-DaserAsker/601010-Tra/1/490934-Kikkasse-30x20-cm

for my special ponies. In Danish they're called kikkasser - you can make little displays in them.

Panduro is in Sweden as well

I would get something like this:

But obviously big enough to hold your pony!

Didn't their used to be Beanie Baby boxes that were big enough to fit ponies in? I remember doing that with a few of mine when I was younger....dunno if you can still find them though. Good luck!

They aren't big enough unfortunately.

I have an Ikea Billy Bookshelf with glass doors. I keep my custom collection in it (don't have any super rare Hasbro originals) and it was about £20 for the unit, £30 for the doors so not excessive. :)

This is how my lovely little Sand Digger has been living the last few days.
Got the case at a local flea market for $1
Sand Digger's case is on the small side, but i have seen larger ones.

I got an acrylic case for my SS Crumpet. It does a good job for those special ponies.
