Start with a Story in Mind
Court of the Dead figures are more than collectibles—they're characters from a rich dark fantasy universe. Before you place them on a shelf, think about the scene you want to create. Demithyle: The Reaper General is a commander rallying forces, while Shard: Mortal Trespasser is a defiant living soul in the Underworld. Their poses and placement can tell that story.
Posing Your Figures for Impact
Use the figures' articulation to bring out their personality. Demithyle comes with a magnificent scythe and Cryptmourne sword—pose him with one weapon raised, as if commanding. Shard includes Faith Bearer and Seraph's Woe swords, a fabric cape, and three interchangeable portraits. Swap expressions to match her mood: defiant, wary, or ready for battle.
- Demithyle: The Reaper General: Stand him on a riser or elevated shelf to emphasize his rank. Position his scythe diagonally across his body for a dynamic silhouette. His intricate armor catches light best when angled slightly away from direct overhead sources.
- Shard: Mortal Trespasser: Use her fabric cape to add flow—bend her legs slightly and turn her torso to suggest movement. Place her in front of a darker background so her bone-filament armor and swords stand out.

Shelf Setup and Lighting Tips
Group Court of the Dead figures together to create a cohesive Underworld theme. Use a dark shelf or backdrop—black, deep purple, or charcoal gray—to make the bone-white armor and weapons pop. Avoid direct sunlight to prevent fading. A small LED spotlight from above adds drama without heat damage. If you have multiple figures, vary their heights with clear acrylic risers.
Care and Handling for Longevity
Both figures are for ages 12 and up, with small parts and sharp points. When swapping Shard's portraits or hands, grip the peg firmly and avoid twisting at an angle. Demithyle's scythe and sword have fine details—store them in a padded tray when not displayed. Dust regularly with a soft, dry brush to keep the intricate armor and bone filaments clean. Pre-order items ship together if ordered with other products, so plan your display setup after all items arrive.
