KaiserRushforth Ltd is a company dedicated to miniature figures and innovative storage solutions. They carry out all design and testing in-house for their cases. They manufacture and sell only their own products. They have sold the KR Multicase for many years and to many satisfied customers.

The review sample sent was a The Kaiser (with internal dimensions of 280 x 420 x 125mm) and one KR Multicase (measuring 400mm x 270mm x 120mm).
There is room for 144 28mm figures inside this system.
More information on case, tray and compartment dimensions can be found here.
The Good
The Kaiser is made from high quality fabric to provide a waterproof and secure environment. The case has a carry handle and a thick adjustable shoulder strap so you can choose how to carry it.
The combination of the the reinforced and lined Kaiser along with the durable dense card of the KR Multicase provide a solid and effective transport system. A common issue with cases which just carry a multiple of trays is that the trays can sag in the center as well as suffer from a lack of edge support. This often means that you end up with figures moving out of their compartments and congregating in the center of a tray. Additionally it can be difficult to carry many larger vehicles as they tend to need more support. The Kaiser System solves these problems as each KR Multicase carries the figures and vehicles securely and the Kaiser carries the KR Multicases inside.
The fully enclosed zip fastener has looped tags to give you the possibility of attaching a padlock if you require a secure and lockable case. If you leave your case unattended for extended periods or if you travel, you can have your contents safely secured.
The flat sided design makes it easily stackable, whether with other Kaisers or along with your KR Multicases.
The full size internal zip pocket in the lid is suitable for carrying rules and accessories when out and about. When the case is just being stored and the accessory pocket is empty it does not compromise the stackability like an external pocket can.
The KR Multicase is made from solid KLC heavy duty dense card, which is the same as is used for commercial archiving of documents. I was surprised at just how weighty it actually is – it feels as though it would survive quite a beating.
The Bad
None.
The Ugly
None.
Cost: £45 (One KaiserOne and one KR Multicase of your choice.)
