Best Figurine Storage Solutions

TL;DR Consider using glass-front cabinets or acrylic wall shelves with LED lighting for display, and individual plastic containers for storage.

Display Cabinets and Shelves

For displaying figurines while protecting them from dust, glass-front cabinets are a popular choice. These can be filled with rows of acrylic risers to maximize space [1:2]. Clear acrylic wall shelves with LED lighting are also recommended for showcasing collectibles beautifully while keeping dust out [1:3]. Curio cabinets, which can often be found on platforms like Facebook Marketplace, provide a vintage touch and can be customized with paint [1:7].

Individual Containers

For those who need easy access to their figures but want to avoid dust, individual plastic containers from craft stores like Michael's are a practical solution. These containers are often on sale and can fit most 6-inch scale figures [2:1]. Accessories can be stored separately in no-spill craft organizers [2:2].

Dust Prevention Strategies

To prevent dust accumulation, some collectors use vacuum cleaners regularly on their displays, especially for items with long hair or fabric [3:1]. For those living in dusty environments, investing in translucent display boxes available online from retailers like Amazon, Temu, or AliExpress can help keep collections visible yet protected [5:1].

Storage Totes

For larger collections that require rotation or temporary storage, stackable opaque storage totes are recommended. These should be kept away from heat and sunlight to protect the figures [4:1]. Some collectors prefer using original packaging for storage, as many boxes are visually appealing and offer protection [4:2].

Glass Cabinets

For a more modern and stylish storage solution, glass cabinets are suggested. Although they might be pricier, they effectively combat dust and provide an elegant way to display figures [5:2].

ORIGINAL POST

My kid collects those blind box figures, they are like a few inches tall. He has a BAZILLION of them scattered all around. I'm wondering if there is some sort of light weight shelf I can hang, with see through glass/plastic doors so they don't get all dusty. Even better with shelves that light up so you can see them better. Any suggestions or leads to find this object I have imagined up? Edited: I tried to add a photo of what I mean and couldn’t figure out how. If you know what kidrobot figurines are then that’s the size I mean, the small ones about 2-3 inches tall. He probably has 100, no joke, it’s nuts

These risers can be really helpful for small figurines to widen the surface area you have to work with

Yep I have a big deep glass-front cabinet with rows of acrylic risers--you can put set of risers in the back, on top of something like a shoebox, and then set of risers in front of the shoebox, for efficient use of space. I also use nail polish shelves against the back wall of the cabinet--they're the exact right height for a lot of tinier figurines. I'm meaning to install some LED strips behind the door frame to light things up!

Either stuff a curio full of the figurines like my parents do (using whatever lego figurines, toy wagons, etc. We had as kids as makeshift risers), or a cube shelf with risers (or hanging cube shelves) seem to be the most popular option.

I use these individual plastic containers from Michael’s, they are almost always on sale for cheap and are big enough to fit 99% of the normal 6in scale figures.

What is a good storage method for display and to avoid dust?

Posted by Formal-Mind-5167 · in r/FugglerCollectors · 2 months ago

I have been using a book shelf for my fugglers, but they've started to get really dusty. Someone suggested keeping them in a box, but I want them to stay on display. What is a good storage method for display, to avoid dust, and not to expensive. I see people using shoe holders but I want to see if there's better alternatives. Thanks in advance!

Storage options. I have too many to display!

Posted by Nemachu · in r/transformers · 11 days ago

Hey there. Looking for advice from those collectors who have lots of stuff. I’m of course out of room to display my dudes. I’m actually going the route of rotating out dudes.

Are there premium storage containers specifically built for the safe storage of my holy grails? Any specific companies I should look at?

I don’t wanna just box them up in cardboard and toss em in the attic. How do people store em specifically if you want to access them again?

I’ve got figures all the way from mini con to titan size.

I store them in empty boxes i keep from my figures. Most boxes look way to good to throw away. So i wrap the figures up and put them in the boxes. I recently got Titan Trypticon. I'll be able to store quite number of figures in that box when the time comes.

Storages Boxes(company's) i just can't get myself to use. I'm way to paranoid to have my figures out of sight.

Storage

Posted by Glad-Today1266 · in r/sylvanianfamilies · 1 year ago

I am curious to know what you use for storage? I live in a pretty old and dusty place and fuzz + dust isn't a great combination so currently my collection is either mostly boxed or put away. I'm just curious if anyone has tried any of these more modern figure displays or any creative solutions so that they don't need to live in boxes forever.

Thank you in advance!

I usually set them by theme or by different series that just look good together. You have to play and move some around and take a step back to look at them and see if you liked them or not. Lighting will bring out the vibrant colors of some figures. Also raising or lowering some figures by using acrylic stands also plays a big part in looks. One last thing, don't be afraid of looking and borrowing ideas from other collectors & their collections.

I skipped the IKEA route and went straight for Moducase. You could probably get a couple SIXTH 55 cubes for all of your figures (and future ones) from Sideshow, they’re pretty much the fastest way to get them. Ordering from Singapore has better options, but takes upwards of a year to arrive here in the States.

Another vote for BROTTAR. Full glass doors rather than the wooden borders that IKEA doors come with. Also, built-in lighting. I've just moved from Billy bookcases to the BROTTAR, and it's such a step up.

a small bookcase

22 upvotes on reddit

pichael289 · 1 year ago

Or a medium sized bookcase.

Also floating shelves are great. Gonna ruin your wall if you ever want to take them down, but even without a stud you can use those rabbit ears anchors and support a pretty decent sized shelf with them. Games don't weigh very much. You'll need to form a decent sized hole but just supporting some game cases isn't much, the plastic rabbit ears are fine for that, don't even need those toggle ones that need a bigger hole. There are more discrete anchors but I prefer the ones that open up behind the drywall and then anchor to it, the plastic rabbit ears are my go to.

Looks great! If you haven't: Please make sure to attach/anchor them to the wall with whatever tilt prevention possible these are so dangerous when they're packed like this. Even though it is just games and not books it's still a huge tilt hazard.

Key Considerations for Figurine Storage Solutions

Type of Storage: Decide between display cases, shelving units, or storage bins based on whether you want to showcase your figurines or keep them protected.
Material: Look for durable materials like acrylic, glass, or wood for display cases. For storage bins, consider sturdy plastic or fabric options that can protect against dust and damage.
Size and Capacity: Ensure the storage solution can accommodate the size and number of figurines you have. Measure your figurines and the available space to find the right fit.
Accessibility: Choose a solution that allows easy access to your figurines. Display cases with sliding doors or open shelving can make it easier to reach your collectibles.
Protection: If your figurines are valuable or delicate, consider options with UV protection or dust covers to prevent fading and damage.

Recommendations:

Display Cases: Acrylic display cases are excellent for showcasing figurines while protecting them from dust. Brands like Detolf from IKEA offer affordable glass display cabinets with ample space.
Shelving Units: Floating shelves or wall-mounted shelves can be a stylish way to display your collection without taking up floor space. Look for adjustable shelving to accommodate different sizes.
Storage Bins: For long-term storage, consider clear plastic bins with lids. This allows you to see the contents while keeping them protected. Brands like Sterilite offer various sizes that can stack easily.
Custom Solutions: If you have a large collection, consider custom shelving or display cases tailored to your specific needs, which can maximize space and enhance aesthetics.

By considering these factors, you can find the best storage solution that fits your collection and space.
