Looks really good
I’m still considering
Thanks for reviewing
Thanks man! Good luck with your decision!
Great review, very thorough. I hope the turn around time is better than it was for them on their cases in the past.
Thank you man! These will be a quicker turnaround due to being batch shipments every 6-8 weeks. Hopefully they can improve their wait times for their other cases.
Sold out already!!! WoW missed out.😢
Stay tuned on their website for second batch! Hopefully soon. Thanks for watching!
Nothing will ever beat the $60 Detoff
@@frank12830 that was a great deal! It’s crazy how the price over-doubled that amount eventually!
It looks good, thanks for reviewing.
Thank you for watching man!
Great review this is definitely a unit I’m interested in, especially just to highlight a few important figures
Thank you bro! That’s a great use for it
Awesome review! Can’t for these to be available for purchase.
Thank you so much! Happy to see you’re excited about it!
As a new collector, I feel this is perfect for my needs.
Awesome! I wish I had the ability to get this when I was starting out. Thanks so much for watching!
Great review! Of the three, this would be the one I'd choose if I was looking for a one or two per shelf display. Very cool 👌
Thanks bro! I think this is the one to go for as well.
@EvilSneaker it's an instant
@@Thrawns_Office
Nice review. It's a very nice case. I like that it's aluminum and acrylic. I wish they had the option for a clear acrylic back panel. I have a lighted "star wars wall" behind my display that would be blocked entirely by these. Obviously my case is very unique though.
Thanks so much! I will pass along this information about the back panel. A unique situation, but I could see others being interested in this! Thanks for the feedback.
Because of the shipping time and price point this will be something I will definitely look into. I will probably get 2 and mix them with my floating shelves display right now! Great review, man!
Thanks bro! Good points. These would look cool with some floating shelves for sure!
@@EvilSneaker no problem, man! Keep up the great work! Great video!
@@HowYaFigure
Definitely a perfect choice to display a 1/6 action figure collections!
I agree! I think people will be happy with this. Thank you for watching as always, Ricardo!
Fantastic review. Still undecided on if I like the look of this case. I have 3 detolfs currently, all of which I got for free which is nice but tempted to make the swap to the moducases as they seem better for a small space vs these mono cases.
Thanks so much bro! Moduspaces are great and will allow you more room inside the case. Changing from detolfs to moduspace was a good move for me, I’ll never go back.
Great review! I'm definitely interested in getting at least one of these. I'm waiting for my Moducase order that has been further delayed. I would definitely get the plexiglass shelves. That MONO looks awesome.
Thank you Brad! I think you’ll be happy with this. I’m excited for you to get your Moduspace order! Bummer with the delay but it’ll be worth the wait. Thanks for watching as always
@@CheeseyBrim007it was originally scheduled for The end of the first quarter. They were hoping for March. Now they expect my order to ship out in the third quarter 😮
@@BradCormack but when did you place your order?

Great video review, shows everything we want to know. So glad it's a bit bigger than the detolf. As I like to put dioramas in my cases. So this gives us other options than the silly little one IKEA do now. Yes it's a lot more expensive than the other two but in anything you get what you pay for. I dont mind glass as my kids have moved out lol. I love that you can adjust the height to raise the bottom. But as i have a low ceiling it would mean i cant put anything on top. But that's ok. I will be getting two of the large display cases from Moduspace for a big display ( 89 Bat Cave) but now seeing this video I might actually get one of these with the order to try out. Not going to get rid of my existing detolfs as they fit in my collection very well. But love the idea we have another option for the same sort of thing to extend our collection, even though it's a lot more expensive.
Thank you man! And I appreciate the detailed comment! It’s great to have options. The adjustable shelves are a big plus. These would be great in a low ceiling room I think even without putting anything on top. Price I think is competitive after you spend the money lighting and dust proofing other types of display cases. Thanks for watching!
This shelf is interesting but I don’t think it’s really better than the existing standard in the detolf. The large second and third shelves are nice but I’d say fairly niche for a very small number of figures that require that extra height. Maybe I missed it but are these shelf heights fixed?
The thick bezel hurts the look for me, especially with that shorter top shelf as it cuts viewing angle, at Least from the video where it seems Vader’s top of his head is cut off.
I think there is also the added durability of glass. While acrylic won’t shatter like safety glass, it’s also very prone to scratching over time. Of course a lot of that doesn’t really matter as the detolf isn’t being sold now, but as mentioned they still are fairly available.
Very fair points. The shelves are fully adjustable. I think people are split on the bezels for sure. I could’ve done a better job tweaking the height of the shelves so Vader’s head was fully visible.
This is a good point about the glass vs acrylic. Ultimately comes down to what you prefer. The acrylic can scratch but also there are products like the Novus acrylic cleaner than can help with this. You make a fair point because like you said the detolf is still readily available. Ultimately it’s good to have all of these options.
Thanks for watching and for the detailed comment!
@@EvilSneaker that’s fantastic maybe I missed the adjusting part in the video! I need to look into norvus, I know with acrylic you can always polish it but it’s a pita lol I know from old acrylic fish tanks I’ve owned haha
We may cover this on Tuesday would you mind if we pull this video up! Happy to shout u out and link this video
You absolutely can use the video, thanks! Novus is nice. You can get it on Amazon. There are 3 different levels/versions you can buy: a clean/protect, fine scratch remover, and heavy scratch remover. I recommend it.
I’d consider this case
You definitely should…
@@EvilSneaker 🤣
This is a cool product. Awesome video bro 🤙
I think it’s cool too! Thank you bro 👊🏼🤘🏼
Agree on the premium look/feel. Some people see this as bulky looking but to me it looks like something that expensive stuff (figs) would go in. Maybe because my non 1/6 collectibles are in Billy’s w/ the doors the frames don’t bother me at all as I’m used to that look. May grab 2/3 of these for 1-off figs.
It has a different look than the other ones but I also like how this matches the Moduspaces I already have as well. I agree with your opinion on the Billy! If that doesn’t bother you, this likely won’t. Thanks so much for watching man!
If they can hit the price point this is actually a really good deal. I went to IKEA to check out the Blaliden when it came out and it's a big pile of junk!!! I could see me getting one just to see it first hand and possibly replace a couple of my towered cases. I like the Moducases I have now!
I think if you are happy with your current Moducases, you’ll like this one. Hitting the price point is looking promising. Waiting for the final number which hopefully should be confirmed soon. Thanks so much for watching!
It has arrived........ 🤘
Yes sir! Thank you for watching
I want to get these, get 2 or 3. Big move from Moduspace
Multiple of these would look great together! I agree this is a good move. Thanks for watching!
Not bad but I may be more tempted to go custom cases. Personally, I prefer glass as acrylic panels scratch so easily, even with gentle dusting. Also, the close-up of the tape stuck to the front panel looks cheap & sloppy. Perhaps due to being a prototype? Are moducases like this? Nice presentation from a distance but remain to be convinced. Thanks for the review.
Fair points! I prefer the acrylic but for different reasons. Glass is nice but I just can’t risk it shattering in my particular situation.
I wouldn’t say the front panel black tape strips are sloppy. I maybe could’ve done a better job showing them. They’re well aligned and adhered. A little thick but also needed to disguise the vertical light strips when viewing from the front. Other moduspace covers have this tape as well but it’s thinner.
Thank you for the feedback and I appreciate you checking out the video!
Subtle Tarkin Vader flex 😏
Yes, yes I did.
It depends. I think I’ll wait to see an actual production sample before I decide. The lighting definitely needs to be tweaked.
That is fair! I believe these will be easy fixes for the final product. Thanks so much for watching!
Another question I have is, assuming they make the final product dimmable (because I agree, way too bright), do you see side lighting being an issue compared to top lighting? One thing I do like about my detolfs and the lighting I have set up, the light looks really good shining down on the figures. I'm worried the side lighting won't look as good.
The side lighting looks great! I don’t have an issue with it. The lights will include a dimmer. I actually just posted a video talking about the final product and the changes made if you want to check that out!
@@EvilSneaker Thanks, I'll take a look!
@@figfate no problem man, thanks for watching!
Nice promo
Appreciate it! Thank you for watching!
Good review ! For me a bit too narrow but
Thank you man! I appreciate you checking out the video!
unfortunately not sure what my issue is but shipping is 98$ per case... ordered one as I want to see how it goes, but if its going to be 300$ ... a little much.
@@anthonyameoiii3754 man that’s unfortunate! Maybe reach out to Moduspace directly and see what the deal is. Thank you for watching the video!
@@EvilSneaker It says “estimate” so hoping that maybe it goes down… unsure tho. People on Reddit have also said it isn’t 100$, but if it is- man that’s a hard pill to swallow, could get 2 blalidens, put lights in and dust proof for less than 300… granted these are very nice but still. We’ll see- maybe once I get mine in person I’ll change my mind… only 10 more weeks til it comes lol
@@anthonyameoiii3754 are you located in the US?
@@EvilSneaker yup!
@@anthonyameoiii3754 UPS prices have also gone up quite a bit unfortunately.
How does the weight compare to the Detolf? I’m curious if you can put the MONO on risers, such as the IKEA Kallax.
It’s definitely lighter than the detolf, I can move it around relatively easily. The box was a little over 30 pounds.
You can likely put it on a riser without the feet on. Mono will have a 16” in height cupboard riser as an optional piece as well.
Thanks for watching!
I think it looks sturdy and definitely better quality than either comparative case but it just seems kind of ugly with the thick chunky borders. The vertical lights on either side of the figure definitely wash it out too much too. Not necessarily a fan of that. Price is definitely an issue as well. Great review on your end though bro!
Fair points man! I think the lights will be fixed for a better look. I think people will be split on the borders because we are all used to different styles of cases. Price is always tough. Hopefully they can keep it competitive. Thanks for watching man
Is that DF-series behind you?
Yes it is!
Upon purchase how long do you have to wait before you receive this. I mean some people say buying a moducase take’s months before it arrives.
These will be batch ordered and ship quicker. First batch is 200 units and should be ready to ship by the end of April. Every batch thereafter will be available every 6-8 weeks. Hope this helps!
Whats the price on these? I looked briefly but didnt seen anything. And they seem adjustable such that you could display fewer, but larger statues also?
Hello there. All of this info plus more is within the video. Price is not final but estimated around $220 + shipping. Shipping should be no more than around $30. The shelves are fully adjustable. Thanks for watching!
My bad, hadn't watched the entire thing. That price isn't bad, I hope you are right. 22lbs capacity seems like it coukd be a touch light for some 1/4 scale statues, though yeah?
@@mikewoolvett335 no worries, just letting you know incase you’re interested in more info! Good question about the statues, I don’t collect them so I’m unsure about the exact weight for certain ones.
Are they out yet?
@@papifeo4625 not yet. The later part of the video has release details!
What are the inner dimensions? I'm guessing about 2 inches smaller than the dimensions shown on the chart.
Great question. The shelf is 14” wide by 13” deep.
Can you purchase extra shelves? If the answer is yes I am sold.
That option will be available at a later date! You have the option of acrylic or wood shelves as standard now as well. I posted an updated video on my page with final product details. If you’re interested in a first batch order, there is a limited quantity remaining. Thanks for watching! You can check out the order page from my affiliate link here.

@@EvilSneaker Thanks for the Reply, That's awesome I wasn't a fan of having to make my own if I went with Ikea
@@horriblypink no problem, happy to help! I wouldn’t want to make my own shelves either.
I go with 1960 Lumen (super bright) - hopefully, your feedback is valid - otherwise, Brian might ruin his product by making them too dim.
Bryan is aware and taking feedback seriously. Thanks a lot for watching!
The prices on these are insanity
The price is higher than others but this is similar to Moduspace’s other offerings as well. Their cases are in general more expensive than alternatives out there. Thanks for watching!
