If you don't have place to Display figures such as MU, DCUC,Transformers.
Where do you put them so they don't get damaged? MU-currently on our shelf but after we move we don't think they'll go back up.We had them in a clear box and some of them would get paint marks on them. DCUC-Sadly we have them in a duffel bag,they're packed in there so tight some of them got warped in an odd position because they were squeezed up against another toy.some of the paint scratched off of GL. Transformers-In Vehicle Mode in a box Marvel Legends-Also packed tightly in a box. The only toys we want to keep on the shelf are Imported toys from japan Like Revoltech,S.H.Figuarts,Play Arts,Model Kits and other stuff like that.Mainly because they're less Domino like,we had all the Marvel Universe we had on our shelf and Iron Man fell over (even on a stand) and took 2 rows with him. So with Figuarts and others they have better stands. So any ideas? |

Due to my sizable Transformer collection, I actually have no room to display my MU & Joe figures. I keep them individually bagged in a zip-lock with all their accessories inside a rubber/plastic tub. They don't really weigh enough to do any damage to each other, and the little bit of air that gets trapped in the bags provides a bit of cushioning. The air does leak out eventually but it's slow enough that the figures don't get damaged as they settle into place.
I do the same with my excess TFs, but I usually transform them into the most compact mode I can get them into. I've had quite a bit of my TFs packed up for the better part of a year and a half and none of them have been damaged that I have noticed. I don't jostle the tubs around much though either, so they pretty much just stay where I put them. |

^ This. I've also used the little sandwich baggies, which don't have a seal, but they still work well enough. At least no paint scratches. As far as the warping goes, I hate when that happens. The only way to help that is to not pack too much in one box/bag. It's crazy how heavy a box full of action figures can get.

I'm pretty much echoing the guys above. I keep my excess loose figures in individual ziplock bags and stack them flat on top of one another. These bags are, in turn, stored in a large plastic tote (like what you'd keep holiday decorations or winter clothes in) in a place where it wouldn't get disturbed, say a corner of a room or the closet floor.

I've also heard of guys putting moth balls in the storage bin to keep moisture down an prevent corrosion of metal bits
