Extreme Sets is back with another round of cardboard pop up displays for your action figure shelves!  They’ve changed things up and are offering Display Packs.  These are single floor/ wall combos that do not stitch together.  Instead, they are designed to fit perfectly into the collector display case of choice, IKEA Deltofs.  Each pack comes with 4 sets of floors and walls that can be mixed and matched across a single theme.

Today’s set is the Display Pack 003, which is an abandoned warehouse theme.  It has some Joker inspired art on several panels, but can be used with any set of characters you like.   Of course, for photography or even just general display purposes, you don’t need to use them in Deltofs.  They work just fine out an about themselves.  In fact, since they are a bit taller than their standard set panels, they are great for those upward angled shots.   Read on to see Display Pack 003 in action!

Extreme Sets have been a highlight of the collecting community over the last year or so, putting out high quality pop up dioramas designed for collectible figures of all kinds. They’ve recently released Wave 3 of the sets, which include the Command Station (for 3.75 scale figures), Nela Level 6 (alien ship), Headquarters (Evil Robot Base), and the Locker Room. We took a look at the Command Station already over on HissTank.com so check that out as well.

Today we are looking at their Nela Level 6 set. It’s another HUGE set, one that deviates from the standard fare. The back walls are actually 3D in nature, with an overhang, ledge, and even some structural beams. They connect with a differently shaped center piece, and come with 3 large floors. On top of that, 2 of the large pieces can be connected to form a tunnel! It’s definitely one of their most complex yet and makes for an impressive display. Read on to check out some additional thoughts and over 40 HD shots!

Our newest Extreme Sets gallery delves into the sci-fi realm. Today we’re looking at their Sector 09 Pop-Up diorama display set. This set is part of their Multiverse Collection Wave 1. The set includes six 12″ tall by 20″ wide panels and four pop-up cubes. As with the previous sets, you can piece these panels together as you see fit. Connecting all six together yields you a backdrop that is 126″ wide! The Sector 09 set is designed to mainly work with 6″ and 7″ scale action figures, such as items from Marvel Legends, S.H. Figuarts, MAFEX, Marvel Select and NECA. The specific designs of the Sector 09 set work especially well with sci-fi figure lines.

I took this set for a spin, using some of my favorite NECA Aliens and Terminator figures to show how you can display these. There are over 35 photos. Read on to see the gallery and some thoughts on the set.

Today we’re taking a look at the third Wave 1 Multiverse Collection Diorama from Extreme Sets, The Dojo Pop Up. Like the Deranged Alley and Sewer we checked out earlier in the week, The Dojo set features 6 panels that can be combined in different configurations to act as a continuous backdrop on a shelf or folded to show corners of a room in photography set ups.  This piece works perfectly for anything martial arts related – Street Fighter, G.I. Joe Ninjas, Bruce Lee Figuarts, Dragonball Z, Various Marvel and DC fighters, you name it.  If you zoom in close you can even use it as a generic old time Asian house or temple since that paneling was common.  Read on to check out some additional thoughts and over 40 shots!

Extreme Sets have been putting out cardboard diorama displays for wrestling figures for a while now. They allowed folks to easily, and cheaply, create ring and crowd environments, locker rooms and props. They’ve recently got into the non-wrestling game, and their offerings are on fire right now. The first wave consists of the Deranged Alleyway, Sewer, Sector 9 (alien techy), and Dojo environments.

All are in scale for 6-7 inch figures and are HUGE. Each set comes with 6 panels, and each panel is 20 inches wide by 12 inches tall. They have slots and tabs on each end so that you can combine them for a long running display, or fold them at a 90 degree angle to create corners and rooms. We’ve got our hands on all of wave 1 and will be taking a look at each, starting today with the Deranged Alley. Read on to check some additional thoughts and over 75 images showing what it can do!
