Whats the heaviest thing you put on your...

...Detolf shelf?

I put my 1:4 SS Terminator Endoskeleton on with 2 panes of glass but he weighs 23lb's and my bottle went

I had him there about 1 minute but it's not just the glass it's the little spot welds on the metal supports that had me worried.

Anyway, I have something coming that weighs around 10-12 lb's and that is what it's rated at so I'll be OK...I think

So, what you got that makes your Detolf creak then?

Pics would be fine if you want to

On one I have the Arnie PF and on the other I have the 1:1 Endoskull (which is very heavy), trust me they're stronger than you think

Re: Whats the heaviest thing you put on your...

I'd love my Endoskull AND arnie in there but I really don't have the nerve.

Kudos to you guys but I don't want to risk that!

Re: Whats the heaviest thing you put on your...

For me I have always thought that PF statues look a bit rubbish in Detolfs as you can only get 2 in and you can see the weld supports inbetween - just my opinion.

Although I have my Grevious and Anakin PF's ontop of my 2.
