How to Protect Your Action Figure Collection: Storage, Sunlight & Security Tips
If you're collecting action figures — especially modern classics from G.I. Joe Classified, Marvel Legends, or Masters of the Universe Origins — keeping them in mint condition is essential for long-term value and collector pride. Here’s how to protect your collection from the biggest threats: sunlight, humidity, bending, and more.
☀️ 1. Avoid Direct Sunlight
Sunlight can fade paint, warp packaging, and destroy value.
Tip: Store or display your figures away from windows, or install UV-filtering shades and cases.
📦 2. Use Proper Storage Bins
Throwing carded figures in random bins will lead to bent corners, warping, and creases.
Tip: Use acid-free totes or archive-safe boxes, and avoid stacking heavy items on top.
💧 3. Control Humidity
Too much moisture can lead to packaging separation, mold, and even rust on accessories.
Tip: Use a dehumidifier or store figures in rooms with stable, dry conditions. Add silica gel packs inside sealed containers.
🔐 4. Secure High-Value Items
For figures worth $50+, security becomes a factor — especially if you display near high-traffic areas or attend toy shows.
Tip: Use locking display cabinets and label bins clearly when transporting or storing.
🧽 5. Keep it Dust-Free
Dust buildup dulls packaging and can scratch windows.
Tip: Dust regularly with a microfiber cloth and use soft brushes for tight figure details.
🛍 Bonus Tip: Keep Boxes & Receipts
Even if you open the figure, keeping the box, receipt, and accessories adds value if you ever decide to trade or sell.
