Figure Life

That gives me a good idea for whenever I move out, bagging them up like that. As for cleaning, hardly ever. Guess I should get started.

As the bags are sealable, you can seal them with air inside too which acts like padding.

I packed two gunpla that I assembled in Japan like this to ship back home and it worked very well. Fold the top of the bag over and tape it and pack it so that it can't be popped with soft surrounds.

I need clean up mines, but I don't have much.

It's common on my neighbor clean the entire house once a week, so we employ someone to clean the house every week.

In my house we do the cleaning from 15 to 15 days, and the other weekends a woman come to clean the house. 

Everyday we remove the dust, so I get about 15 minutes each day to clean T_T.

This way i think have a lot of figures like Danny is a good decision ^-^...

Danny, I'm just staring at you...all those figures!!!
I'm surprised that you don't keep the boxes. I keep them just in case I move or something. 
The boxes are useful yet takes up space...
Plastic bags are useful to a point but sometimes if you bag it wrong, you can break the figures...
I didn't know houses in Japan has that many bugs. How many bugs invade your house i wonder...
I want those figures...I see two Tsukasa!!!

I've been checking out the QB/QG figures quite a bit lately, and see they got Nanael coming out in November, but the proportions on it on a bit odd, and her shirt doesn't look as if its on her correctly.

I should probably get more of those resealable plastic bags. And that plastic case seems like a good idea too. :)  As far as dusting and cleaning my figs, I don't do them much often as most are behind glass. But for those I almost always fiddle around with and recently acquired end up out in the open until I decide to fix up my work space.

Danny, What thinner do you use? I see it's a Gunze sangyo but I know they have various thinners for different kinds of paint.

Is it that important to do that in Japan? So many nasty bugs? I have read a lot about the big spiders and giant hornets by now, quiet scary... i don't like insects. ><;

Never seen bug stuff like that here in America... but we never had bug problems in this house so I haven't had to shop for that kind of thing. We just have some roach spray just in case.

I feel bad getting rid of figure boxes sometimes, because some are just so nicely made. XD But I can think of it this way... less room taken up by boxes is room for more figures and other anime/game goodies. I trashed a couple earlier today. XP 

As for storing bits and pieces, so far I've got two small plastic bins and one large ziplock bag full of my extra doll and figure stuff. And displaying... I display my stuff on my desks and on some wall shelves. I'd like to get a detolf one day though, and get rid of the wall shelves. I'd leave the figures on my desks alone though, because I like messing with those while I'm drawing or working.

From the figurines' boxes all I keep is the clear plastic from the inside. I cut it out a bit and throw the rest. It takes a bit more space (but a lot less than the boxes) than throwing everything in a generic box, but it does preserve the figurine very well.

I have the boxes for every figure.  Since I dont have many displayed, the lone boxes dont take up much room.  I would love to ditch the boxes but I put away the figures in the summer since the tend to melt in the NY heat.  I try to keep things as clean as possible by wiping them with a wet bounty. If I threw out my boxes, I'd definitely have baggies to keep the extra pieces organized. Just so I know what soft boobs go to what figure XD

Woah, so many SAF's, figure companies are just throwing new releases to you, looks like you'll need to find more space to display all your figures. Cleaning looks like a hassle as well.

This morning I had cleaned all my figures, used a soft-tip paint brush, and those static-charged towels which attract dust. I clean my figures every month or so.

I would never use those bug bombs, for our house we call a professional to spray insecticide along the edges of every room, the poison still works after a year or two. Kills most insects except flying ones... which are easily taken care of with flyspray.

I just use a can of compressed air to dust as needed. The figures on the bottom shelf acquire more dust on their bases quickly from the rug being so close. Eventually I do want to put them in glass cases because I want pets and don't want the figures chewed or knocked over by a curious cat or an energetic dog.

Anti bug smoke?  Never seen it here, though I guess fumigating once a year here and expecting the bugs to stay out would be kinda like putting a flyscreen door on a submarine and wondering why it wasn't waterproof anymore....

I keep my bigger figures in a glass cabinet, but my nendoroids and some small things are on my night stand, which is getting quite crowded with 5 nendoroids ^^; (Haruhi,Mikuru,Yuki,Miku & Pastel Ink)

I keep my nendoroid bits in the original box, and take them out when I need them. Just did a photoshoot of them yesterday and had all 5 boxes laying on the floor and heads, arms and legs spread around ;p. I took them with my new camera, Canon EOS 450D. Will be posting about that on my blog during this week.


I think that V-zone and oshiri is Hatsune Miku, looking at the color of her socks.

I have my figures in shelves around my room, so every week, more or less, I clean all figures for a shelve, and have an order to do this, so all my figures are more or less clean...

I also do the same with figures I can`t display, I keep them on bags, and put on boxes, waiting to be displaed again.

Unfortunately, it's been awhile since I cleaned my shelves of my figures or should I say a very long time. -_-; (*sigh*) what's pretty funny is that I keep some of my figures in my boxes like my 1/6 scale figure of Spike from Cowboy Bebop (lol, I guess you can say that's keeping figures clean) As far as I can see from my shelves, my figures needs some updates.

I think the only GSC Figure I have at home is Kaname from Full Metal Panic where she is holding a bazooka of sorts, but it's definitely my favorite female character ^__^.

Seriously, you have a lot of figures... do you keep their box's for storing them away? Will be doing some work on our house soon and I will have to put my figures in storage for a bit. I'm done with the painting and now it's time for new flooring.

I've got to get a couple of those bags.  I have a few collectors books that have just been sitting on my shelf for the past few years.  I mean, they're out of direct sunlight, and I don't open them.  But my mother smokes, so that can't be good for them.

And we have bug bombs here in the states.  You push down a button and it fills the house with a fog that kills the bugs.  You have to leave for 4-6 hours.  And don't leave any food or pets out in the house.  The food will go bad, and the pets will die.

Would you mind sharing a link as to where i can buy the standard mousepad (not the butt mouse pad) in the earlier shots? It looks awful comfortable without being as shameful as the oppai mousepads.

Every figure looks good except for Ryu, he's hideous!  I only have two figures to boot and they are still in the boxes, unopened.  I would open them up if I get more figures but at the moment, they are too lonely so they will stay warm in their boxes ^^;

There is really no need for me to clean my gunpla.. Since there are inside my glass cabinet
http://www.dannychoo.com/detail/mac/eng/image/3526/wildflug%27s+room.html

But, I do occasionally air them out. My Meer Figure is still in her box, and probably I'll keep my figma Nanoha in her box too (Darn, what's with my aunt? She's taking way too long to send Nanoha to me) 

Anyways, I guess almost everybody here knows that the V-zone belongs to the Vocaloid Hatsune Miku

reply to Smithy's comment

I only clean my figures when I take them out of the box for a photoshoot or to look over. That's just to wipe away fingerprints and any dust/residue then it's back into the box.

In fact, I ever rarely display them outside of the box which I keep in mint condition as well. Poor Tsuzuri, Churam, Kagami, Sumomo, Kasumi.... Maybe I'll take the ladies out for some fresh air this weekend.

My, this site gets quite pervy sometimes, doesn't it?  I don't take my figures out of the boxes to cleaning is a breeze.  I actually bought most of them as an investment.  Since they are already worth at least twice their original value after only a year or so, they will probably probably provide quite a nestegg in twenty years or so, especially MIB.  Currently I'm shopping around for classy display cabinets with glass doors, but finding little below $1000 for an eight foot wide six foot tall cabinet.

reply to gridsleep's comment

That should be "so cleaning is a breeze."  And yes, in the use we have pest foggers also commonly called bug bombs.  They figure quite often in many film noire murder mysteries.  Great way to get rid of a pesky freeloader, get 'em drunk until they pass out and then pop a bug bomb.  The police usually list it as death my misadventure.  };)

I love how everyone's abusing Lelouch.  The more I see these photos, the more I want to get him for myself too just to do the same!

I totally envy you for putting in the time to actually clean your babies.  I'm rather too lazy and would just leave them to collect dust and perhaps use a dust cloth and lazily clean up the obvious dust layers every so often.

PS - Love the MAD video.

Me, i keep the boxes, just in case i need to "retire" older figures in favor of new ones. My room is small.

I usually clean my figurines once a week, particularly the small ones.
For some reason, the smaller ones like the Mecha Musume and Figma collect more dust than my larger ones 0__o ~

Hehe I always keep mine in my boxes for safekeeping.

It's also for my paranoia since I collect figmas and the parts are so small. So to make sure I have all the parts I put them all in the box.

I use a case with small compartments (like one of those boxes used for fishing apparel and tools), which sits at the bottom of my display case.

It keeps things organized and looks good next to the original figure boxes.

One thing that ALWAYS comes to my mind when acquiring a new figure is "Should I leave it in the box or take it out?" Sure I can handle cleaning them weekly and all but for some odd reason sometimes I like having them in the boxes.

Hi there...have been going through danny's collection and all i can say is amazing...i would like to have a collection like that...although i am far from it....i love the nendoroids....they look soooo cute!!! Love the figmas as well....i want to order it online but am scared if i will get in more pieces then they should normally come in :P. 

Can anyone tell me if they have had any problems in receiving a long distance package...its the only thing that's stopping me(apart from my pockets being a little empty now :)) from getting these figmas and nendoroids.....
