Figure Storage?

[digktialx]

Hey guys, great community here. I am new, just wanted to ask a question that I have seen come up from time to time. How are you guys storing your loose action figures?

Thanks!

Hi!...welcome to the forum!

storing...as in spare figs? or displaying our collections?

On protech stands, in a ikea cabinet out of direct sunlight.

That's exactly what I do.

Have mine on protech stands on the Star Wars diorama display stand (recent pic in the RA thread)

Hi Dig and welcome to SWFUK

As the guys say, out of direct sunlight if on display...

As for storage, mine are in plastic bags with holes punched in them but apparently the more educated collector makes sure they use 'acid free' bags to ensure no degradation to the plastic used in vintage items.

I know! I saw your showcase and I'm ashamed to say any thoughts of originality went out out the window!

How about sealed tupperware boxes ?

Crammed in an old fashioned quality street tin where they've been for years. Not advisable. Never even consider my spares. No idea what's in there. Should do really :?

I know someone who sells storage bags and Protech (& other stands) :wink:

Thanks for the feedback. Please lets keep this thread going...I think with hugely spiraling collections it is something that we should all start thinking about. I am really interested in how you guys store, organize, protect....and for the gents who are married, compress your mammoth action figure collections.

This has always been an issue for me and several collecting friends, so together with a buddy of mine we decided to come up with something. We spent months designing a storage solution that we just stuck up on kickstarter for modern and vintage collectors.

I don't want to break any forum rules here but would like to know if it would be ok to post the link to our project on Kickstarter. PS: Those special bags look great - they would probably work well with our project.

So the thread had an ulterior motive :wink:

Post away DX, it would be interesting to see and you might gain some support.

 

[robpmarsh]

Hi digktialx, Yes feel free to post the link. You have me intrigued

 

[digktialx]

Thanks for the show of support fellas. Yes, you could say I had a ulterior motive! I would like some of these cases for myself! =)

I think most of the guys will agree that these are pretty cool 8)

I for one would certainly consider picking one up at the right price. Only questions would be A. will they fit taller figures like IG88, and B. are they made of foam that won't degrade? I only ask that because of the disastrous melting foam used in some of the vintage Star Wars toys.


Cool product

 

[beginner]

nice Trailer, i like the way in yoda's car :wink:

 

[theforceuk]

Very cool product. We gonna see you on Dragons Den?

 

[JuniorChubb]

Nice and so simple...

Reminds me of the foam lined cases I keep my Warhammer figures in.

Good luck with the project
