Hi, does anyoen know a good climate to store action figures in?
How about the attic during winte/summer?
Garage winter/summer?
Basement winter/summer?
Does humidity or any other factor hurt the card backing or the plastic figures? Just wondering because I have to start storing them elsewhere.
Thanks...

General rule of thumb, moderation is key in terms of temperature. Moisture and light are your enemy.
As far as temperature, you would ideally want to store figures at room temperature. roughly 70 to 80 degrees F. You want to avoid moisture as much as possible, as well as light and UV light in particular. Direct sunlight in particular is a killer, but even prolonged exposure to incandescent light will cause damage.
A garage could work, but moisture levels and temperature changes are likely going to be too extreme. An attic is likely to have problems with the temperature changes in most cases. The best option is probably going to be a closet if possible.
You can do a web search for archival and preservation techniques for more detailed information.
