My Figma pieces are spread between being inside their original boxes or tossed into the Figma resealable bags and tucked away in a corner. I trust myself to identify it easily enough even though I've never gotten around to actually labeling the bags yet >_>

Cool way to keep your figmas and nendoroids... I remembered someone had posted similiar post last week... Usually I keep my stuff in their original box.

Interesting. If I ever ditch my figma and nendoroid boxes, I could use that. I have something similar but larger. It's a large case with several drawers like the photo above. This case held my art supplies when I was in architectural design school. When I think about it more, it could hold figma. I need to investigate further.

Organized and within arm's reach - I like. ^_^ Gonna pop over at Lowe's or Michael's tomorrow; my Dad suggested some plastic containers there with adjustable trays. If the trays can be set big enough, it would make storage of the actual Figma figures that much easier!

If a figure has empty space at the bottom of the base I usually keep/attach the spare parts under there, assuming the parts are small enough to fit! Otherwise they stay in their boxes. XD

i'd probably just put them back in the box they came in...until i find a nice storage unit...

Have them in original boxes. dont play around with all the extra parts or change their poses very often.

I got all my figma ones in bags labeled and stored in a box. As for other figures I don't have that many other kinds yet but eventually I'll be looking for a way to store their parts as well.
(ID #377567) Posted on 2008/11/19 15:45
That case is way too dangerous what if it gets knocked over? I use professional construction cases with lockable compartment lids for small stuff (originally made to hold different size nails) but with my figures I keep their spare parts all in their original boxes keeping nendoroid parts in something like this is Ok though

Wow, great idea! I only had one Figma, so I didn't really need anything like that... but with my last loot, I started to think on a way of organizing the extra stuff. That's the way! Thanks for the idea... :D
(ID #377587) Posted on 2008/11/19 16:01
Thought of that, but don't have enough parts just yet to justify this. But in the future surely.

Organize beads like that. Well, the ones not on strings. I imagine the heads make it look a bit macabre if you see it in the dark.

I don't do that for figmas. I just like them in their boxes so I remember what parts they have. I fear putting them in separate containers will make me eventually forget what parts they have

lol, using a tackle box for fishing to store figure pieces, it's a good idea. I was thinking about it, when/if I get more figmas/nendroids I can use my spare tackle boxes for storing figure parts. Currently I store my spare parts inside a PSP case carrier bag which is nicely padded with small compartments (for UMD's). That stops paint transfer etc. It's quite handy too because I can carry a figma or nendroid in there too.
(ID #377674) Posted on 2008/11/19 17:40
That's pretty neat! I store mine in the resealable figma bags, or ziploc bags and put them inside a box. I might consider getting a container similar to that.

Now that's a creative and convenient idea to store spare/individual parts for some figures i have around my room. I like to stay organized while being neat at the same time so a similar box is a most have for me.

I used to put all the parts of my Figmas inside the Figma bag together, but one day I found out that Koizumi's spare face was scratched by one of his shoe, leaving him a bad brown mark. Since then I put each painted part of my Figmas in a little plastic bag individually, and all these bags go in the Figma bag provided.

I personally place all my Figma accessories in their bags, and pack all the bags neatly into a box. It takes up very little space this way and is pretty convenient.

I store those parts in the original box. It isn't as comfortable as having them in a case like that, but it's better than having them disordered.

I like the idea of using the clear plastic box to put parts in, especially if you change parts on a regular basis. However, as I like to keep the original boxes and don't have much more room, my parts are staying in their boxes ^^ The Figma bags are a brilliant idea.

I place the spare parts on the bottom shelf of the detolf, along with my figures. The parts I try to hide from view by placing at the back up against the glass. I dont have a permanent storage box but I am afraid that if I leave the parts back in its original box, the box might be thrown away.

I used to do something similiar to this when I was into building models. Whenever I'd build a fight plane I never really built the armed combat version shown. I'd always build a test version by getting pics of it online and building it to replicate the test version. So I always eneded up with a mass of frames and extra pieces which I cut into sectiosn or removed form the frames and put them in compartmenst like that. I still have most of those pieces too!
