Default Display case recommendations for 16" figure?

Hey guys, I am going to be getting my first limited edition statue soon and I could really use some help with finding a display case for it. I have been trying to find the perfect case, but I am having difficulty and I figured you guys would know more than me.

What I had in mind is a very simple plexiglass case that is big enough to house a single 16 inch tall figure, while being small enough to be able to put it on something like a table or a desk. I don't need anything fancy, I'm just looking for functionality. I just need to be able to see the figure, be able to get it in and out easily and I need it to keep the dust out.

I hope this request is not too much and I greatly appreciate any input you guys have for me.

When in doubt, ebay it

Someone will likely come along with a better suggestion though but assuming the statue fits the other dimensions as well I think this one is fine

Well, that would work. I am not a big fan of overseas shipping though and I would prefer an easier way of getting it in and out. I think it would be nicer if the surrounding plastic could come off. I don't like the idea of lowering it in through the top and taking it out that way. So, I'll keep looking, but remember that one if I can't find anything better. Thank you for the suggestion.

You are probably better off googling/ebaying action figure or doll display case as small statue (or whatever) keywords you would use to describe the statue is too generic to get good hits

Maybe this is better?

The 12"w x 12"d x 18"h is kinda pricey though

Hmm. That is a little pricey, but I really like that. Thanks for the suggestion. I will definitely consider that. I was looking for functionality and that's as functional as it gets.

If you have a Michael's anywhere near you they have a good selection of shapes and sizes. Everything is always 30-50% off ticket price. Granted, ticket price is artificially inflated to make that discount seem bigger but whaddayagonnado?
