Your local Otaku Cashier.
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.

Sales Manager by day, Gunpla Otaku by Night...
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 don't have that many figures so I still keep my boxes. I only dust the figures about a week, is that proper maintenance?

Same here. I still have "enough" space to keep all my boxes since I don't have that many figures yet...
About dusting, well maybe once a week or whenever I'm free.

Maybe we can post some pic about how we store our figure boxes. =]

hey, nice to find out that I'm not the only one who keeps my toys in resealable plastic bags when not in display. wonder where your Nanoha got the mark from, judging from the colour must have been lulu or spinzaku, ^^ however regardless of that your gundam thinner is in need of a gundam. ^^; a Figma Ryu? first time I've seen a stocky figma, I guess it'll be the gruesome quintet + 1 now? ^^;

The paint is probably from Ringo.
The Ryu is a Revoltech and not figma ^^;

I agree Danny we have a revoltech Saber, and we don't even use her stand really, doesn't work very well. Didn't know you could use figma stands for revoltech, might have to try that. Any idea where one can get extra figma stands?:D

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!!!

You mentioned before that you use a pastry brush to dust your figurines. What type of pastry brush is it? I've seen some with nylon while others with normal err straw-like strands. Which one should I go for? I'm afraid of scratching my figurines.

I ended up getting a soft natural-bristle brush.  The fibers split on the ends like human hair does so it's finer than say, a nylon-fiber paint brush.

I'm using a big soft makeup brush for cleaning mine nice thing about makeup brushes is that then normally come in sets. So I have a big brush of the main cleaning and smaller brushed to get into the nooks and crannies.

I pack my figures in plastic bags aswell. The Freeing bunnies look great. And also that idea to get rid of unwanted paint of your figures is great, I used to sand the paint off with sand paper.

omg no, don't use sandpaper. even at the lowest grit it'll destroy your precious figure. try some rubbing alcohol if you don't have thinner.

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.  A bit too plump her legs too I think.  I'll be keeping my eye on that Megahouse line though in the future.  I've been checking out Alice on Happysoda and Foo site all day.

I recently had my house 'pestecided'. So I had to draped my entire table (was too lazy to wrap each figure). On a side note, since it gets so dusty in this country, I have to dust my entire room (with detail cleaning of my figures) every weekend. Sucks when I see dust accumulate after a few hours :p

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.

"The most boring part of your job is getting rid of boxes"...*groans* Of course. There is more figure loot in any given picture up there than I get in a year.

That picture of Mitsuki leaning over Tsukasa on a bed looks oddly natural, and ponytail Haruhi Nendroid = Win.

Hmmm, nope... can't recall any "anti bug smoke" here... though when you have some problems with nasty bugs and call the guy who does it job-wise they use some machine and smoke to get them killed as well i think. ^^;
But nothing you could buy in a shop i think...

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.

For your poll question, clean figures?!? Such things exist? I guess its cause I never really touch mine and therefore do not need to clean it but I see how you would need to Danny. Always playing with them and bringing them out to dinner where they get all greasy.
