Start with a Theme for Your Shelf
A Garfield collection can quickly become a fun, personality-filled display if you give it a little thought. Before you place your figures, decide on a theme that ties them together—whether it's 'Garfield's Kitchen,' 'Comic Strip Chaos,' or a crossover corner featuring the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. A clear theme helps you choose which figures to group and how to pose them for maximum storytelling.
For example, the Garfield V.2 figure comes with a coffee mug and food bowl, perfect for a breakfast scene. The Garfield x Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 2-pack, with Garfello and Odie, brings a pizza party vibe with its pizza cutter and stack of pizzas. Grouping these pieces can create a playful narrative that draws the eye.
Shelf Setup Essentials
When setting up your shelf, consider these practical tips to make your collection look its best:
- Choose the right shelf height: Make sure each figure has enough vertical space to stand comfortably without crowding. Garfield V.2 and Garfello both have 25 points of articulation, so you may want extra room for dynamic poses.
- Use risers for depth: Place shorter figures like Odie (13 points of articulation) in front and taller figures behind to create a layered look. This prevents sightlines from being blocked.
- Keep small parts in mind: Both figures include accessories like a coffee mug, food bowl, pizza cutter, and pizza stack. Store these nearby or display them securely so they don't get lost.

Posing Ideas for Maximum Personality
Posing is where your Garfield figures really come to life. With 25 points of articulation on both Garfield V.2 and Garfello, you can bend arms, legs, and even the torso to create natural, expressive stances. Try posing Garfield with his coffee mug raised as if greeting the morning, or have him holding the food bowl for a classic 'feed me' moment.
For the TMNT crossover set, pose Garfello with his pizza cutter in hand and the pizza stack nearby, while Odie can be positioned with his wagging tongue for a playful sidekick vibe. Swapping the interchangeable heads and hands adds variety without needing extra figures.
Care Tips for Pre-Order Collectibles
Both Garfield V.2 and the Garfield x TMNT 2-pack are pre-order items estimated to arrive in Q2 2026. While you wait, plan your display space so it's ready when they ship. Once they arrive, handle them with care—especially the small accessories like the coffee mug and pizza cutter. Keep them away from direct sunlight to prevent fading, and dust them regularly with a soft, dry cloth.
Remember that these figures are for ages 12 and up due to small parts. If you have young children or pets, place them on higher shelves to avoid accidents.
What the Catalog Doesn't Tell You
The catalog doesn't specify the exact height of these figures or the materials used, so you'll need to judge scale by comparison with other figures you own. It also doesn't include specific cleaning instructions beyond general care. For long-term storage, consider using a display case with a door to reduce dust buildup and protect the figures from curious hands.
