Best way to store

Pantrwrstl · 03-24-2007, 10:51 AM

So im completely new to collection action figures and ive decided to start with my favorite of them all, the ninja turtles of course, and i was wondering what the best and most efficent way of storing them would be, im only collection figures mint on the card so im looking to preserve the bubble and card as much as possible. Any ideas or thoughts?

My idea is to buy a large (or medium) size plastic tub/container with a lid and store them neatly in there.

Whatever you do, don't pin them to the walls. Sorry, but the bubbles will eventually start shifting as time goes on and gravity, dust take their toll. Like Master Cheirf said. You can store them in a plastic container, that way they are away from light, dust, humidity etc. Thats how I have mine for now, that is until I can get an enormous display case to show em off in

Anyway, I hope I helped

You can also buy those plastic cases, either the soft ones or the hard acrylic. Like the ones commonly used for Star Wars.

Yea, thats definately a way to go, only it can get a bit expensive (depending on the quality of cases or course)...

I store my Star Wars collection in the big rubbermaid containers. They have the lock on tops that seal them and then wherever you store them they should keep your figures protected. I do have about 30 figures in the star cases (the more rare ones) but other than that all the ones I have are just organized into the bins. I went to WM and bought about 10 of them and they hold and protect my figures very well.

Can you post a pic or point me to the right direction regarding the "Star Cases" These hold individual figs? I've had such a hard time finding cases that fit nicely on the figs. I'd really appreciate it

I keep most of my figures in storage bins and my vehicles in a wooden cabinet, but I'd like to get more Star Cases. I got some for my Star Wars, but I've had a hard time finding the right ones for my TMNT. When I bought my Shogun Shoate on Ebay, it came with a Star Case that was a perfect fit, but I can't find more.
