Abstract
A display device has a holder for a displayed item, such as a toy. The holder is adjustable to accommodate displayed items of a variety of sizes and shapes. The adjustment feature includes legs which may be cut to reduce their length. An additional adjustment permits the relative spacing of the components of the holder. Further adjustment may be accomplished by resiliently distorting the components of the holder. A retainer may be included to hold the displayed item in the device.
