Masterpiece Quality 3.75″ Diorama Walls
For over two decades now, many collectors have found themselves frustrated by a lack of playsets, dioramas, and basic environments to display their 3.75″ figures with.
But those days are coming to a close thanks to Galactic Trading Post, who is now offering some fantastic high quality plastic walls to satiate this need. To order these directly, click here.
If you’re on the fence about these, I can say based on the 6″ scale walls, their product is amazing. You can see a few pics of those in our forums.
TRU BOGO 40% OFF SALE
Toys”R”us is running a Buy 1, Get 1 40% off sale through October 8 on all 3.75″ action figures and vehicles. This is a good time to stock up on army builders and some custom fodder this price… and even take the plunge on some vehicles, if you can get over the NERF features.

Reminder: All entries should be new custom dioramas made during this Yakfinities window (July-September). Older dioramas, if shared, should be clarified as older as they are not eligible for a prize in the roundup report.
GTP Toys Update
After being completely amazed by the quality of their diorama Space Walls, I was fortunate enough to be able to see first hand how great a few of the other diorama pieces are shaping up through GTP Toys.
The boxes and barrel I received are rubber prototypes – the final product will be plastic and in line with the quality of the walls. I snapped a few pics, which can be seen here.
Everyone – I completely am sincere when I say these are some of the coolest things I’ve ever seen in the hobby. I’ve been an avid adult collecting enthusiast for over two decades now, and have always felt there was a gaping hole in my collection – environments to display my figures. Having these items in person, and setting them up is on par with the excitement of putting together the stellar BMF (Falcon) from several years ago because the quality is just that great. This is professional quality – not 3D printed with print lines. It’s top line product for an affordable price.
The only way the guys at GTP Toys are going to be able to continue to make products like this (including 3.75″ scale) is from support from the collecting community. So if you’re looking for a better way to display your collectibles, check them out!
