I have 5 detolfs filled with collectibles and have been looking for months on the best lighting solution. After countless videos/tutorials I ran across your channel! I love your ideas and what you did with your collection. Thank you for a simple, informative video that explains everything. I appreciate it! Keep up the great work.
I’m still in high school so I kind of have to rely on whatever’s already at home, I just use bookshelves. I mainly just collect 6” because it’s a lot more affordable than stuff like Hot Toys (even though i’d love to have one eventually lol)
SUBSCRIBED! This video was awesome! Thank you! I have 1 detolf at home and planning on ordering about 5-6 for my new space for displaying helmets / figures / 3D print projects etc and this video was perfect. That smaller shelf on the bottom was a great idea to give some extra storage & raise them up more to eye level + hiding the wiring / power strips. Consider doing a 2023 version with new additions that you might have
This was a fantastic informative video. I've had IKEA detolfs for about 10 years now. I wish I had access to all this stuff then. This lighting would have came in handy. Thank you for the video You did a good job 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻💯💯💯🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻 Your collection is freaking insane. 😱😱😱😱🤯🤯🤯
Great vid, very helpful particularly the lighting. I have three old can it’s I’m setting up this weekend but I love the idea of the risers so may give that a go. Many thanks for taking the time to make this vid
Thanks Keco! I always look forward to your videos! I am just starting my descent into the world of collecting six scales even though I have collected various things over the years. I am up to 14 over the past couple years. I really enjoyed some of your past videos, particularly when you talk about finding someone in your life that shares your interest and supports you as opposed to stifling your hobby. You help keep me going forward on the right track! Thank you so much
Great video very very informative and helpful by actually showing the work not the finished product , just got some detolfs with the luke light kits . It’s been a bear I don’t know how to do this stuff very good and having a hard time not tech savvy or a handy man so this is the toughest part . Thank you again bro
Hey Keco great video. I have a combination of detolfs and moducases. I’ve been looking for risers at ikea but they have been out of stock forever. Thanks for letting know about the Target cubes. These are in stock at my local Target and I will be picking them up tonight. So many great tips. Thanks again.
I am using display cabinets from Amazon, because it is too expensive for me to get it delivered to me, and then there's the gas going to the closest place which is Kansas City, but they are always sold out on the IKEA website. Wood display cabinets can hold more weight than the IKEA, in my opinion.
@@KeCoCollects yep, it would. It probably would be a lot safer than a detolf, especially when I live in a very humid, but a beautiful state of Arkansas.
Thank you for the video ❤. Very informative. I’m buying my brother a glass display case for Christmas this year and he’s been talking about getting one for awhile. I was looking at Ikea but I’ll check out Target as well.
Good vid bro. I've used bookshelves ( cherry oak 5 shelf ) heavy bastard's. For years I just collected multiverse and legends ( in box ) so they worked great until I started collecting hot toys. I still have 6 of them but I have 2 aluminum 4 shelf for hot toys but I Need 2 lighted D shelf's instead and I have a IKEA bout 20 min from me👍
Thanks for this. Very useful, as always. I'm still at the point where I have my figures in boxes pending the creation of a collection room. It's getting out of hand, and I very much feel like I'm collecting boxes rather than Hot Toys. Having said that, I do have one question for you : why did you opt not to install weatherstripping along the top and bottom? Does not a lot of dust get through there?
I don't have a great reason LOL. To me, those are the smallest points of dust entry on the cabinet -- the sides have more gap. Also, I used to have them on( a previous video) and I didn't like the look. It made a weird "frame" in the cabinet that took away from the figure -- so I'm not too worried about it, but do what's best for YOU
Thanks Kevin! Great video. Can you put a Detolf laying sideways lengthwise across the Target or IKEA storage units? We have a Titanic Lego set we want to display lengthwise in. Detolf cabinet
Great video what I was glad about that u showed us what lights are instead of guessing or doing more research much appreciated thank you going to work on them soon
Great video! Love the way you display, and I absolutely agree that collections should have "breathability" on the shelf. Too many times I've seen collections with shelves filled to the brim, that it makes it look messy and overwhelming. Quick question: I've heard from other Detolf owners that some of the glass siding can randomly shatter, sometimes even YEARS after owning them. Should I be worried about this, as someone who's been wanting to get these to update my collection with? Thanks!
The biggest culprit from what I can see is tightening the screws too tight and setting things on top. If the glass is "bowing" something is too tight. I'm not too worried about it and I have a lot. Lol
What is the logic behind using the weather stripping? Is that to prevent dust from getting in to the display? If so, do you find that the Detolf allows much dust in if you don’t use them?
I have been thinking of setting up some of these ikea detolf shelving I wonder if instead of using the u shackles to just replace the metal frame with stainless threaded rods with stainless nuts that would be adjusted to the hight of the shelving and if you wanted more to shelving you would simply add more nuts this would accomodate more models of smaller ones if you didn’t like the thread showing you could add small tubes over the threaded rods I would probably use aluminium rods polished or even shrink tubing would work as well I think the wiring would be threaded through the tubing and you wouldn’t see any wires except we’re the come out to the light I have a habit of over engineering things and like things to be perfect the only thing is with this design is that it would have to be more of a permanent thing as to change or adjust shelving would be a pain but it would look perfect
Are you concerned at all for the cubes (target and ikea) to not being able to support the weight? I’m looking at the target ones and they say they only hold 60 lbs!
I have had zero issues for the past couple of years. The weight is spread broadly across the base so that helps. Do what you are comfortable with of course!
I actually stopped using them all and switched to custom garage shelves. Here is a video about it. There is a follow up video as well , just search the channel for "a new hope to collecting" to see the finished product th-cam.com/video/9bbsTqGyJUo/w-d-xo.htmlsi=bs7U4C_rAonP1tOu
Fantastic tutorial thank you! I've always found the detolfs bounce and rattle a little when walking past them, especially when stood on carpet. Have you solved this issue using the risers below them maybe?
Hi man, how do you think can weight support the double kallax? I have 2 detolfs, with around 14-15kg inside each and I thougt in a kallax double behind them... how do you see? thanks
I have not. I have had no issues, and I know others (who I got the idea from) who have had the same set up longer with no issues. The weight distribution spread across the square base help with this
@@KeCoCollects good to know, I was thinking of getting 3 single Kallax units for my 3 detolfs and just reinforcing the corners of the Kallax units. My problem lies in that my detolfs are the old ones before they changed them to black and white. I’ve got oak ones and they all have a hole in the top for a round light to be fitted, it’s just a dust trap and I’m unsure how to fill them.
Not really. The blinds drawn and where the sun hits my house isn't a concern (for me) - HOWEVER, I have been looking into some type of backing to put behind them all anyway to help with the contrast visually. So... maybe this ISNT the definitive video LOL. Still searching
I just bought these same exact brackets but for some reason the glass doesn’t reach to one of the corners as much as it does to the other 3 brackets. do you have the same problem?
@@KeCoCollects ok sounds good thanks :) just got endgame hulk in and definitely needed to buy something quick to adjust the shelf so I looked it up and definitely trust you so I went with it and it holds up great
Have you ever had one of these cases fail? There have been people saying these have Been known to collapse. I want to buy about 4 or 5 of these for my diecast construction model collection but I'm a bit nervous. Also how much weight can these shelves hold? Thanks
I have 20+ of them and have had zero issues. I never put anything on top for what it's worth. The glass shelves themselves can hold about 8 lbs a shelf if that helps.
I need to do some weatherstripping on my detolfs because they get dustier then I thought they would. I noticed you only did 1 side of the detolf . Is that good enough ?
It is for me. With the door, it was more of a hassle to get them in then the protection it would serve. Do what works for YOU obviously, but I'm satisfied :)
@@KeCoCollects Hi Keco, new collector myself. By blackout backdrops do you mean behind the detolfs or in front of the windows? I have the same issue the best spot in my man cave for the detolf is also unfortunately in front of a window with blinds. So was wondering what your solution was
So I tried to order two ikea detolfs, they are unable to ship it to my area , and there’s no ikea around me . So what’s another alternative that’s not gonna have me wait months on end like moducases
These detolf cases give me anxiety just watching your videos I feel like the welded bars won't be able to hold my statues or figures and they'll give out one day fall down onto my expensive statues that'd I'd never be able to replace.
If you follow the weight limits per shelf, shouldn't be any problem. The limit is 8 lbs per shelf ... that can handle three die cast iron men. Hope that puts your mind at ease a little! Thanks for watching
Hey keco I love this video you really help me start my collection and I just need one question how many do I need for the 12v 1a power supply for the lights
Thanks for such a great video, incredibly helpful. I’ve been slowly collecting Star Wars hot toys since 2017, and looking to finally display them all. May I ask, what alternatives are there to detolf? I’d rather something wider, but for many reasons, detolfs seem like the wiser choice. Thanks!
Lot of people like Billy Bookcases with glass doors. But for cost efficiency, and viewing, detolf is the best. Moducases look cool, but they are expensive and take forever to get in
Moducases are supreme in everything but wait time. Detolfs are an inferior quality ripoff now and won't exist much longer. The Detolf's replacement is even worse than that.
@@KeCoCollects Love this video, thanks for doing it. I'm looking to get the Target cubes for my 2 Detolfs. No issue with weight? The Target site says they hold 60 lbs, and the Detolf empty is 75lbs. Thanks.
You move your video way to fast that makes the viewer feel dizzy. Just focus the video a bit longer before moving it, that way viewers can have good look on what you want to show
Slow down when moving the camera from one point to another. You go back and forth so much and so quick, it made me sick and had to pause multiple times.

Now that the Detolf is discontinued, what is the next best alternative?
I built custom ones from garage shelves, but Billy bookcases with glass door are also popular
5:20 is where the video starts for people who want to skip the unnecessary fluff.
Thanks for the assist! 👊🏼
Thank you this entire video was very informative. Also love your collection!
Thank for watching, Master!
What is the logic behind using the weather stripping? Is that to prevent dust from getting in to the display? If so, do you find that the Detolf allows much dust in if you don’t use them?
There are visible gaps between the glass door. In theory this plugs that gap. Though even after doing it, I don't think it made much difference
@@KeCoCollects thank you for the feedback. Looking forward to replicating this set-up.
9:23 so my cabinet is real estate now?
Very much so!
I have my display set up in front of a widow but I have a blind in front of the window that I never roll up so the sunlight never gets in.
Good call! I've since added some curtains behind mine
Awesome vid keco!!! That delivery to local warehouses is a life saver !! You plan on having space for statues or limiting statues to one single area ?
Statues are having their own spot ... too heavy for detolfs, and most are just too big! You will see those in the next collection update!

I thought being a reviewer hot toys would send him figures to review then keep. But I guess not, It's just his hobby lol
@@andrewpayne5093 I have reviewed one figure ever and that's a third party - so I can see why no one would send me anything lol.

do you need to reinforce the kallax units with brackets and such?
I never did. Served me well for years

Not a bad suggestion at all!

They are IKEA detolfs. The official measurements are on their website, but I think they are 5 ft tall, and 15inches deep

That works too! Thanks for watching
Is it better to go with warm white or cool white light?
Personally, I'm a cool white guy. I did a whole video on me comparing them if you want to check it out :)

It's just double sided tape on the strips. They are then plugged into a power strip below
@@KeCoCollects ok. Where do you place it ? On top of shelf?
@@michaellotten5755 yes, draped across the top of the detolfs.
@@KeCoCollects anyway you can send me a photo message of how it is draped ? Or do a video …. trying to replicate your style 👍
@@michaellotten5755 You can see how he does it in this video.
Nice setup guide :) was wondering what you’re using to raise your detolf cases?
Those are IKEA KALAX, but they make a version at Target as well.
@@KeCoCollects ok 👍🏻 thank you I have like 4-5 inches of clearance might need to make a DIY riser out of wood or something
@@Dholt29 yes, a custom is def the best solution
@@KeCoCollects and one more thing how do you like the lights? Do they last long or are you having to switch them out a lot
@@Dholt29 I have had zero issues and replaced none. All super bright
i would like to know what kind company you get the gremlins gizmo ?
Medicom!
thoughts on apextime cases?
I haven't heard of them, but I'll look!
I have detolfs and double door Billy
Good choices!
Just ordered my first figure yesterday ion even have shelves
What did ya get??
@@KeCoCollects endgame cap
@@KeCoCollects I don’t know what endgame iron man yo get
Hey Keco,
Just curious how many Detolfs can fit on one set of the Target cubes, is it two? Thanks
They are just shaped weird enough to where only 1 fits on a set of two cubes, and three sits comfortably on the 4 cubes. Kinda annoying LOL
@@KeCoCollects Ah ok, what about on the IKEA Kallak cubes? Can two detolfs fit comfortably on Kallak set?
@@TexasFinest_Collectibles they are actually really similar in size so I think it would the same
@@KeCoCollects Love this video, thanks for doing it. I'm looking to get the Target cubes for my 2 Detolfs. No issue with weight? The Target site says they hold 60 lbs, and the Detolf empty is 75lbs. Thanks.
@@winman42 I've had no issue with weight. It being a square base helps evenly distribute the weight.
Feeling sea sick from the camera movements but great displays!
Oh no! We have upgraded the displays and the cameras since this. Hope your viewing experience will be better
@@KeCoCollects Awesome. Will slowly work my way thru your vids! Lovely collection especially the OT Star Wars. :)
How many detolfs can you fit on the target ones
You can comfortably fit 3 detolf on 2 of the target ones pushed together
Ya know the uv light from those windows will ruin your figs
Oh yes. Already have blackout curtains up behind them! You'll see them in the next tour video :)
Who makes the gizmo mate
Medicom! One of my favorite pieces :)
Thank u. Think i will have a look
You move your video way to fast that makes the viewer feel dizzy. Just focus the video a bit longer before moving it, that way viewers can have good look on what you want to show
Thanks for the feedback!
Don’t comment back.
Fair enough.
Slow down when moving the camera from one point to another. You go back and forth so much and so quick, it made me sick and had to pause multiple times.
Noted!
Great vid, very helpful particularly the lighting. I have three old can it’s I’m setting up this weekend but I love the idea of the risers so may give that a go. Many thanks for taking the time to make this vid
Glad you checked it out!
