Peg, it will come back to you.

OK, so I’ve got this goofy project I’d like to pull off with a minimum of effort. The problem is that I’m about as much of a handyman as my cat is. Actually, my cat’s handier than I am – he can dig a hole to the other side of the world in his litterbox while I get winded moving the same amount of dirt with a shovel. So any ideas would be welcome here.
Basically, I want to recreate, on a small scale, a portion of a retail store for a photo/video shoot. I’ve come to the realization recently that I’m way behind on opening action figures that I’ve bought, and/or there are some I’m deliberately leaving on their cards. But as a result of this, I’ve got this wild variety of different action figure ranges represented, sometimes in fairly substantial numbers – Star Wars Episode II/”blue Saga packaging,” Episode III, greeen Power of the Force, carded Babylon 5, Doctor Who, and even some Star Trek: TNG and DS9 figures still in the original packaging. I’m trying to figure out how I can mock up a section of the “pegs” these puppies would be sitting on in a store and get some pictures (and maybe some video) for a future incarnation of thelogbook’s toy section of what amounts to an impossible dream assortment of pristine product still on the pegs. And I’m trying to figure out how to do this with a minimum of cash (or, actually, in the complete absence of cash) and without having to build some permanent monstrosity that’s always going to be taking up space in the house. It doesn’t need to be perfect with price tags and particle board with peg holes in the background; it just needs to give an impression of that little slice of the retail environment.
There’s a method to my madness, and a reason for it too, but for now, I’m all ears for any ideas anyone may have. Me and my crazy ideas, huh? 😆
