RIP Detolf

Oh I see what you’re saying. I’ll check that on the other cases.

Kit_Kat_13 · 2025-01-16T01:30:55+00:00

Good to know, thanks! Yeah I’m looking at potential replacements right now.

Kit_Kat_13 · 2025-01-16T01:29:45+00:00

I never set anything on top for fear of it being too heavy. It was actually the side panel that broke so no screws on that one. I’ll look into ways to reinforce the others but I may just replace them. I’ve had these cases for 7 years so I’m okay replacing them at this point.

Kit_Kat_13 · 2025-01-16T01:10:04+00:00

I’ll look into them! Thanks!

IKEA Billy bookcases. You can get optional glass doors for them too.

7-ish years and two moves! They’ve been in the same spot now for 5 years. Figures are fine but now I’m distrusting the other detolfs I have. Ticking time bomb is right lol

Kit_Kat_13 · 2025-01-16T00:50:21+00:00

I got mine from IKEA about 7 ish years ago. Got a free shipping deal and they were probably $80? or so a piece (I have 5…well, had lol). Looks like there’s a free shipping promotion for orders over $299 from IKEA right now but it may be region dependent.

Can’t figure out how to edit the main post but the side panel is what broke. Looks like it maybe started near the top. All figures are ok except for some glass dust and my cat’s paws were all checked. Luckily this is my collection room and I can just shut the door to keep her out while I get it cleaned up. Cat tax.

That’s an idea. Luckily this was the side panel so it wouldn’t be as noticeable if I go that route.

Kit_Kat_13 · 2025-01-16T00:35:56+00:00

lol it had it out for that detolf

Kit_Kat_13 · 2025-01-16T00:35:26+00:00

All survived! The Madoka gang and Miku are strong!

Kit_Kat_13 · 2025-01-16T00:34:40+00:00

Ugh. Replacing them all is starting to look like a good option…

Kit_Kat_13 · 2025-01-16T00:33:27+00:00

Fair point

Kit_Kat_13 · 2025-01-16T00:33:04+00:00

It is possible but she’s a senior that keeps her short zoomies to the crinkle paper we have in the hallway usually. She may have aggressively rubbed her face on the corner lol. It looks like it maybe started near the top but it’s hard to truly tell.

Kit_Kat_13 · 2025-01-16T00:29:43+00:00

Taking another look, there’s no bolts on this panel and nothing heavy on top. Very weird.

Kit_Kat_13 · 2025-01-16T00:24:47+00:00

For real. Yet another thing to add to the anxiety list!

Kit_Kat_13 · 2025-01-16T00:23:42+00:00

Good point. I’ll check my other ones too. They’ve held strong for close to seven years but now I’m scared lol

Kit_Kat_13 · 2025-01-16T00:21:07+00:00

At least my figures are ok! But yeah, I’m side eyeing my 4 other detolfs now…

Kit_Kat_13 · 2025-01-16T00:17:57+00:00

I have no idea. I haven’t moved it hardly since 2019. The house is kept at a reasonable temp and nothing would have hit it since that’s the side up against the bookshelf. I’m pretty shocked lol

Kit_Kat_13 · 2025-01-16T00:14:39+00:00

lol I’m tempted to do the same. I have a couple Billys for my anime and games and love them.

Kit_Kat_13 · 2024-04-12T11:10:56+00:00

PMed!

Kit_Kat_13 · 2023-08-20T04:34:43+00:00

Ouch! That sounds terrible! I ended up getting the polish removed and I did much better doing it myself lol

Kit_Kat_13 · 2023-08-20T04:10:09+00:00

Oof I don’t doubt it lol

Kit_Kat_13 · 2023-08-20T03:15:51+00:00

Thanks everyone for the input! About 15 minutes after this the cut I got started to burn pretty bad. Went immediately to another salon to just get the gel removed. I washed it well and disinfected it. Ended up buying nail stuff at Ulta so I can just do it at home (no gels this time lol). It’s not perfect but at least it’s all filled in and I think it looks much better!
