Displaying Figures and Scrolls

So, being a member of Otaku Box, mixed with my obsession of buying cute figures and wall scrolls, has left me with an over-abundance of both. As my collection grows, I am running out of both walls, and as such, running out of space for shelves. Anyone got cool tricks to display or rotate through multiple wall scrolls, while still displaying your figures proudly? I was going through a few different options, but I’m still on the fence about all of them.

  1. Floating shelves near the ceiling, with hooks for wall scrolls.
  • I’m not sold on this idea yet as it makes me feel like I won’t enjoy the figures if they’re so high up (aside from the random panty shots ^-^)
  1. Shelves w/ wall scrolls behind the shelves
  • Obvious caveats: the shelves cut off the scroll. It can’t be easily changed. And I feel mix and match when I don’t have a large collection of any particular scroll
  1. Mix and Match Shelves?
  • Probably the way I’d go, but this feels as wasteful as what I have now, and less adaptable to change down the road. Build shelves, with gaps for wall scrolls, that line every wall of my house.

If you have alot of figures and wall scrolls (and unused dakimuras, as I have more of those than active pillows XD), I’d love to see your ideas! Right now, my figures fit on a couple corner shelves with my wall scrolls filling the rest of my walls, but I’d love to build more long-term displays as I plan out my home reno, and would love to see everyone’s current designs for ideas!

the wall scrolls? I think that could work for the TOB ones, but I got some pretty large size ones as well I’m trying to figure out. I do want to eventually get frames for all the artist stuff i buy from cons too. there’s never enough walls. i wish i could “rotate” them randomly without the need for digital displays or manual intervention. XD
