How do you display your blind bag ponies?

Not well... lol. Mine are crammed onto a shelf and then some behind them sitting on a 2x4, lol. They're so "tippy" every time I bump them, like 20 fall down. It's obnoxious. I've seen some wonderful displays though.

You could build little risers out of foam board for them... :)
 
My collection is small enough that they all live on top of a bookcase. The bag blind bag ponies are all lined up in front, as all my ponies are organized by height.

The mini collection blind bags are on my desk. Zecora is being the very tippy one now.
 
i found one of those "organizer" things that looks like it's meant for jewelry, at a second hand store. it's fabric covered, and prettier than just a wooden display case. Or check in craft stores--sometimes they have inexpensive cool display things that you could paint or leave plain. Someone here, I think it was ristvak, uses a nail polish display thing, which has a lip, so there's not so much problem with them falling.
 
Due to lack of space, mine overall aren't displayed right now. xD Mine are all stored in the Enterplay card tin. the only ones I have out are a Pinkie and a Celestia, they're both sitting on top of the tin.
 
Mine are lined up in about 3 staggered (think theater seats) rows on a shelf. They're not really well displayed, but my big glass case is for my brushables (all gens) and I really don't have a good place for blind bags.
 
I have a handmade shelf that I picked up from a flea market vendor. Don't have a full shot of it, but the shelves are the perfect height for blind bags. There are six shelves inside plus the flat top, where I display the first TRU box set unopened. I need another one, though - ran out of room after two sets. :( Well, I could probably jam them in there, but I don't really want to go more than eight on a shelf.

Maybe put a little white clay under their feet to keep them from falling? Or the sticky stuff you use for hanging posters? Not sure if this would stain their feet, though.
 
They all sit on my desk at work I don;t have many I have 7 or so.
 
This thread has some good ideas! I only have 2 right now. I keep moving them around they haven't found a home yet.
 
I heard there was a way to do it with tips of skewers on boards, I haven't tried that though. I tried with push pins and toothpicks through plastic and into the holes in their single hoof but had no luck. You can also purchase small magnets to hold them up.

What I"m doing though is one wave (the crystal glitter ones) are in an organizer for beads and it's clear through. They're a little big for it so I just taped around the edge so they wouldn't fall out. I have on wave just sitting out. Another is in one of those older my little pony playsets with the deck with railings and a round top with a tub and such and they're posed in there, the other two waves are placed on a multilayer toy that is basically a house with no walls and little built in furniture.
 
Love the shelf, PT! The empty spaces where I notice there aren't any shelves look very abstract and artsy. They look great :D
 
I've been waiting to post how I display mine until I was done with my full display shelves but this is too perfect a thread to not post. ^^

While searching for cheap spice racks to display my regular sized ponies, my mother and I found this. It was on clearance, $4 I believe, because it's actually cracked somewhat in the back but it's not noticeable at all in the front. The shelves are re-arrangable so I can actually put larger ponies in there, fashion style and funko ponies fit nicely, but it was too perfect for BBs so I put most of my collection in there. (And because I'm geeky, I'm going to print out a screenshot, or a drawing of mine maybe, of ponyville for the back part of the case. They look better with a backdrop in my opinion).

The rest of my BB collection is here:

Ah hahahaha, we all know how *that* goes.... Hee hee.

PT, that is a very cool display case. *grabby hands*

And Desert Rose, seeing your G4s all on shelves like that makes me realize HOW MUCH new pony stuff we've had (even if a lot of it is the same six ++++ lol) since G4 started! My goodness!
 
What I'm planning to do is use a shot glass display case from Michaels sideways on the wall. It's just the right size for Blindbags.
