I now realise I should have kept all my boxes, but I only realised that when I thought about transporting figures when I go off to uni!! I still have about half of the boxes from the figures I bought though… so its ok-ish, I’m just gonna be stressy about the ones without boxes, like my Clalaclan, Chie, Belldandy etc…. Hauuuuu How will I do it safely???

I keep all my boxes and try to keep them in the exact condition I got them in. They do take up a lot of space, but they proved worth it since I’m moving next Monday and had to put my figurines back in their boxes for protection.

Also, how could someone just throw out the box? They look so nice! I too have that Makoto Sawatari figurine and I really like the nice looking box. I haven’t taken her out of the box yet…waiting until I get a Display case. My other figurines got dusty which sucks..but I doubt can do any harm to them.

I don’t have too many figurines but I noticed they all have the authentic stickers on them except for the 3 that were sold in the United States by “Entertainment Earth.”

Are all non-Import figures missing the shiny sticker on the box?

I also store my boxes, can’t throw them away, although not many boxes are nice looking like Mirei’s box or the Shuraki’s ones. The ones I especially like to keep are the gundam ones.

I haven’t kept most of my boxes since they take up space, so I’ve thought of using ziploc bags to store the figures while in transportation.

Now that’s one big pile of figure boxes!!!!! I have the same issue. I keep the figure boxes for good reasons. Right now, it’s stacking around my room. For people who seen my room, you should know…

@coco the bean:
i was actually thinking of that!

@Baka-Raptor:
well good thing Mr. Iron and Mrs. Can of Liquid Wrench Penetrating Oil have you to take wonderful care of them.

@Fariz Asuka:
took me a good hour to pull them all out and then stack them that high, plus took some maneuvering to make sure they didn’t topple over…

@lu-k: yeah i’m pretty much going to have top do the same once they go into the guest room and out of my own room. At least i have my closet back!

@Keats:
i keep the same philosophy, i also own the Haruhi Bunny but in Red, i tech. had the black one as well but my brother wanted it so badly and he gave me top dollar for her. Plus i get to see her whenever i like and i know she’s being well taken care of!

@gordon:
biggest box i have is my Jun Planning Ryuk, they take up lots of space but i even keep the plain boxes…

@Crisu:
the form fitting part is the most important! If they start to lean it’s the best place for storage after you fix them to make sure they don’t start to lean again!

@Lauren:
oh i know! i’ve got some teeny little figures with boxes 3 or 4 times their size…

@Lsio:
Heat makes some figures lean, not all but some. If you have a figure that is prone too leaning you can box him/her up before it starts getting too hot during the summer months to prevent leaning.

@Adun:
they do look a big in the photos…

Why do the boxes look bigger than they should?? LOL.

I keep my boxes so it’ll be easier to transport when I move out. Though luckily for me I store my empty boxes in a separate location in the house.

I’m keeping the boxes too, and store in the closet too. Somehow just seeing the empty boxes make it interesting.

By the way, can you talk more about this leaning thing in Summer? what is that? I’m a newbie collector :p

I would have liked to keep my boxes, but storage is a huge problem for me so I throw them all away. Although I have some boxes filled with other things (I have one box filled with extra bits & bases I don’t use) for figures.
