- This video goes through the Milsbo cabinet from Ikea that I use to display my Hot toys and Sideshow figures along with some other collectables. I also go through how and what I used to dustproof and light the cabinet. Links for everything I used is down below. Hope you enjoyed the video.

Great idea to block out dust. I have 4 of these and been trying to figure out a way to keep dust out. Thanks for the share.
You sir, are a very helpful human being. Thank you!
No problem glad I could help
The MILSBO looks like an awesome cabinet, and perfect for 1/6 figurines. I just ordered a MILSBO and will be doing the same mods as you. Well done!
I set up my detolf based on your detolf video, I was looking at the milsbo cabinet and to my luck you also had a video on it! 👍🏼
I am so glad I found this video. Today I put my Milsbo together (the shorter/wider one though), and put the lights in that you used. I ordered the other stuff to dust proof it. Can't wait until it all comes together. Thanks for posting.
Thanks for watching
Glad I found your video as I'm still contemplating between the Detolf and the Milsbo and now I'm leading towards the Milsbo. I like the extra room. Just wish that instead of two doors the cabinet came with one. Oh yeah...nice collection!
I wish it did to but like I said if the stuff your displaying is away from the spot it look fine and my main reason for having these is that they lock
The back glass of one of my Detolfs just exploded. Took a long time to clean up. Now I’m thinking of replacing with one of these. And also replacing my other 2. I’m afraid now of them exploding too.
inferno044 honestly I haven’t had or heard of that problem happening with these cabinets
The Nerd Collector good. One of my other Detolfs has side panel bowing. It’s scaring me. But I read that tempered glass sometimes bows and may not break depending on how sever the bow. But still worried. It’s fricken loud when it pops and a pain to clean up. I’d go get a Milsbo now but IKEA is closed. And my local one is booked up for curb side pickup and for someone reason I can’t get the cabinet shipped. Just going to have to wait and hope they open store soon to the public.
inferno044 the one thing I can say is be careful how tight you do the screws on the top of this cabinet because if you over tighten then it will put to much stress on the glass
Thanks for the video. Because of it, I also decided to put brushes between the doors and between the frame and the doors. It works great.
I did an image search for the Milsbo and your vid came up in search. I'm glad because I was getting tired of looking at display cabinets and it's so hard to see detail on the Ikea website. So thanks for the vid! I know NOTHING about what you collect (I'm a different kind of nerd altogether - LOL) so me telling you your collection is nice would mean nothing to you. But I do like your clean setup and lighting.
Glad I could help!
i clicked because of the thumb nail with your collection! However, I am actually looking to buy an ikea cabinet for my plants it's between this one and the farkor? your vid just helped me with the weather stripping problem! Great collection and vid. Thanks!!
Your welcome thanks for watching
Love those display cases brother!
Thanks
Thank you so much, this set up is amazing, you convince me :)
Great to hear!
Just wanted to thank you, it works great with all your recommendations. Seal tight.
Great review just the information I needed
Thanks ! Purchased one after seeing your review, easy set up managed by myself, i only have 1/6 scale figuarts in mine at the moment on the top shelf but im going to put a 3a megatron and optimus prime on the the bottom level, also waiting on the hot toys iron man mark 85 battle damage to come out next year
I LOVE these. They are perfect for my 1/6 statues. They look really classy and expensive too.
What a great job! Well done. I do like it very much.
Thank you very much!
Impressive......MOST impressive.
That's my concern is the lighting. You know that over time it will cause something to fade. So the Deming feature is a plus.
Lol, I just bought a used curio cabinet and it looks awesome with some refinishing oil and a new knob.
Great video, I think I’m going to buy this display cabinet...
Did you drill the power hole in the cabinet floor before or after installing the glass?
Before
Great! Amazing job! How thick is the foam tape? And how width? Thx
Awesome room
Thank You
Great video! You have a link for the connectors for the cuttable lighting strips?
I added dust proofing peel-off strips to my IKEA Detolf’s this year...boy, do they work and long overdue.
Do you have a link to the product you purchased Jon O? If so, do you mind sharing it.
Link in in the description below
Great video, would it be possible to tell me the exact dimensions of the glass shelves as I can't find the info anywhere?
26” long x 14” deep
i wish they gave options on doors the morliden doors would have been great, i might take the doors off and put a acrylic door in front
Let me know how that goes
I have a milsbo for my Barbie collection but I had no idea what to do for the lightning situation. I guess there is no way around drilling a hole haha. Thanks for the tips.
Unfortunately no I tried to figure a way not to. Not a problem hope you enjoyed the video
Little bit late but apparently there’s holes on the top
There's two holes in the top.
Good thing you used hot toys for these videos because I was totally curious about the max/load weight per shelf 🤣🤣 have you had any problems?
No problems at all
I just got a Milsbo cabinet for my Lego's and just wondering how you ran the strip lights along the sides. Aren't the shelves in the way of running them down the side? Did you run the strip as a complete 1 piece, or did you cut it and connect the pieces together?
Just need to feed it through the shelf support there is a small gap that you can fit the strip in
If you have all shelves in, 4 shelves, how tall are they? What's the max height of an item you could put in and use all shelving?
Roughly 13inches
Regarding the step bit drilling for the lighting wires: did you drill through the bottom layer of metal while the unit was already stood up? Or did you lay the whole thing on its back for better visibility?
just curious, is there any reason you used the foam sheet instead of the stripping at the top? i'm getting my milsbo soon, very excited!
The thickness that’s all
Thank you for the video. Nicely done. I bought this cabinet and drill bit to get the lighting in there. However, I chose the Govee RBIC to show off different colors. the Weather stripping has been hard to come by! Still waiting for Amazon to deliver my order. Couple questions: 1) What is the Foam Sheet primarily used for? 2) What do you use to clean the cabinet glass with? I must be using a bad technique as I can't get smears off. Thanks again for sharing your tips!
Foam is used to reduce the amount of dust and I just use invisible glass cleaner
@@raccoon5150 Thank you. I have massive difficulty finding a weather strip with those specific measurements in addition to being brushed. Maybe I am searching for it incorrectly. Any ideas?
How does Gove RBIC works for you? Do you have any issue to run the strip through the shelves?
Unfortunately I don’t have any
@@maisun2160 I have had no issues. Looks great! I love being able to sync to music and advance app settings.
Love the setup! Just bought a milsbo case today. Did you just use one long roll of LEDs for the case? How did you set them up how they are without cutting the strip into pieces?
I didn’t cut them just ran them all around
@@raccoon5150 ahh gotcha! Thanks for the reply man! I know the vid is old haha. Any changes to the collection? Would like an update video if so!
Do they have an optional door that doesn't have that have such a big border in the middle?
No they do not
I really like your video, and how you add the dust proof tape. I have collected die cast airplane models, so I need more shelves to the cabinet. Is there any way that more shelves can be added to this cabinet? Thank you!
what did you use to tape the light strips? can you link the amazon link?
They have tape on the LEDs
But I don’t understand how do you screw in the shelf pegs with the led steps there?
The led strip is in between the peg and the the metal bar
That huge frame in the middle...can't believe they discontinued the Detolf.
Is the strip in the middle the same as the one used on the sides? I tried this and it doesn’t let me close the and lock the cabinet? Great video btw
Yes it is you need to make sure it’s in farther so it doesn’t interfere with the door
@@raccoon5150 I tried it’s like on the crease on the inside and still doesn’t close
@@terenceryan6051 make sure it’s running along where the shelve pins are
@@raccoon5150 i just ordered a small width brush, hopefully that does the trick. thanks
Hey this is a great collection, really love the setup! I have the same display case and I'm trying to figure out the lighting situation myself...when you run the led strip down vertically, do you trim where the strip meets the shelf corner pieces or do you run it all the way through uninterrupted? Thanks in advance!
I run it through all uninterrupted
Do these glass shelves hold books?
Can you buy extra glass shelving if I wanted to add more? I will be displaying vintage wood fishing lures, so they not be that large, most are 3"-4" in length, but I will have some sitting on a stand about 4" tall. Very well done job on your cases, they look really nice. Thank you, John
Unfortunately no you cant
@@raccoon5150 well I suppose once I decided on a model, I could just have glass shelves cut, and buy extra pegs, and add what is needed. Thank you
That’s true you could
Can you buy additional shelves to add more?
Unfortunately IKEA does not sell more shelves for them
Awesome video! How do you get the light tape down the corners with the shelf thingys in the way? Can you put a hole in the light tape? Never used it before
You just run it around the shelve bracket
Hello! Do you have experience with earthquakes? I live in a sysmic country and while i have an earthquake proof cabinet, im drawn to how good this one looks…
No I do not live where we have earthquakes sorry
According to the site, the cabinet comes lighting ready. Where would you normally install the lights/wires? And what sort of port/hole/connection does it use?
There is a single hole at the top of the cabinets for on light to go through
@@raccoon5150 Ah ok, are there any particular connections you need to mount a light there? And do you need to install the light before assembly? Or can you just install it after you're done? Also where is the exit point for the wires?
Sorry for all the questions, but IKEA's site leaves a lot to be desired for information
Can you build these without the doors and what holds more this or the detolf ?
I guess you could it just would get more dust
I’m trying to decide what to buy for my wrestling figures and think Detolf is still the best option because it’s completely glass. The white frame down the middle blocks any fig you put in the middle which is the downside for me.
Detolfs are discontinued
Odd question, but are the legs removable or are they totally necessary for the frame? I’d like to put this on a riser like some people do with the detolfs but don’t want the empty gap that the legs create.
Unfortunately you have to use them
Great vdo!
I curious as you uses foam and weather stripe for blocking dust,do you still need to dusted inside? Thank you for advance.May the force be with you.
In the year I have had these I have not had to dust them
Nice setup, do you have the assemby video for us to see? ty.
No I don’t sorry
@@raccoon5150 what do you think personally? which one is better? Detolf or Milsbo? Detolf looks fragile ya?
I really like the wider cabinets, but I wanted something with the frameless front. I am wondering if I could skip installing the doors and put a piece of plexiglass on the front and use magnets to secure it. Do you think that would be possible? On the Ikea site it says they are made of both aluminum and steel. Do you know if the vertical pieces of the frame are steel/magnetic? I am guessing they are since the door magnet sticks to the horizontal piece.
Not sure if that would work or not but the frame is steel
@@raccoon5150 Thanks for the reply!
IS it possible to add more glasses than the four standars? Ty
Unfortunately no
Can I please ask what’s the thickness of the brush tape? There’s few available on Amazon. Thanks :)
Very informative thanks. Did u also have trouble evening out the doors? If so what’s the fix? Thx
To even the doors just use the adjustable feet to level it
Thx bro, appreciate the reply....nice collection by the way👍🏻
How thick is the weather stripping? I bough some yesterday but it was way too thick
1/4”
Hi just a question do those helmet fit inside the milsbo? Or no?
Question? I ordered the same items as you as I liked the outcome. However, the top of that display case as holes would the lighting on fit thru them at the top or you just found it more convenient going thru the bottom drilling the holes? Thanks for the tips and sharing your experience.
The hole isn't quite big enough, it needs reaming out.
Thanks for the great review! I was contemplating between the Detolf and this. I'm just afraid of how much weight that an individual shelf can carry. How much do you collectables weigh?
Each shelf is 11-15lbs but if you keep the heavyweight stuff to the outer sides I honestly don’t think you will have a problem and the bottom shelf well that can handle a lot because my Hulkbuster alone weighs 20lbs
@@raccoon5150 Yea the IKEA website states each shelf max weight is 5kg. I'm planning to put the heavier ones at the bottom. But I'm collecting Super Sentai/Power Rangers collectables. So it's not that heavy as compared to yours.
I’m sure you would be fine then
Awesome!! Do you recommend the 16.4ft for each cabinet?
Yes I do
Compared sizes or spaces wise, are two detolfs bigger than one milsbo or vise versa?
Roughly two Detolfs are equal to one Milsbo
Btw for the lighting there’s holes on the top
There is now the ones I have don’t
Hey man are the LED strips both at the front corners left and right to the top placed in your cabinet?
Cool vid. Imma get me a wider 1 than this that supposedly holds 20kg it say on theyr site. 101 x 100 cm
My doors aren't even and it's driving me nuts idk what to do 😔
Adjust the feet on the bottom to level it that will fix your problem
@@raccoon5150 omg it worked 😅 thank you!
No problem
@@raccoon5150
Omg we had the same problem and it also worked:O Thank you!!
What is the difference between ground and the beginning of the shelf in height?
Can you get extra shelves from Ikea?
Can u cut the led lights to make them shorter ??
Whats the measurements inside the each shelves you got in that setup?
How tall is your hulkbuster and how wide is each shelf bc I’m lookin to house a 2ft tall Optimus prime
Does the fabrikör shelf can fit 1/6th hot toys?
Yes they will
How are your Milsbo cabinets holding up after 2 years ? Any glass breaks ? Let me know ty
Can you tell me what is the space between each of your shelf’s?
It’s roughly 13-13.5 inches
@@raccoon5150 dang I’m needing something with at least 17 inches between the shelves.
They can be adjusted but not fine adjustment
Did you put the LED strips along the top or just the sides and bottom?
The top as well
where did you get your tony stark arc reactor from?!
Amazon sells them now
Why does Ikea cheap out? Ikea should at_least offer the option of double thickness glass shelves.
Why does Ikea not dust prove their glass display units?
Are you displaying 1/4 scale figures in them?
Haven’t tried to be honest
@@raccoon5150 so these hulk and others are 1/6 scale? I mean they look very big. All the figures actually look very big
Yes
Would love to get one but cant get past having to enter my zip code. I'm in Idaho and every once in a while it will pop up with my location for a tenth of a second and then say "something went wrong. Enter zipcode again". I've searched online and have seen this is a problem on their site. Never bought from ikea before and even created an account because some people found that it worked after that. Also tried multiple browsers on my phone and pc but always had the same issue. So something must be down right now.
Are extra glass shelves available?
Unfortunately no they do not offer extra shelves
One hell of a man cave
what led strips did you use?
I put a link in the description below
Is it required to screw this to the wall?
I don’t with mine as they lock and I adjust the feet to slightly lean back.
@@raccoon5150 How did you adjust the feet?
I believe you twist them counter clockwise the round black feet
Are those 1/6 scale?
Yes they are
Weather stripping
i hoped they could sell separated additional shelves..apparently they do not ç_ç
No they don’t which sucks
Too much framework on those cabinets...you can’t see the mark 42 head on, I’d been inclined to remove the doors
On the video it seems that way but like I said in the video it depends on positioning but I do understand your opinion
The Nerd Collector apologies, I sound like I’m hating... really nice collection
No apologies necessary I encourage people have there own opinion is how we create our own setup and collections
