Wondering how to maintain the pristine condition of your collectibles? Dive into our guidelines below. We’ll highlight the optimum storage methods to ensure your collectibles remain in perfect shape, whether you intend to sell them later or pass them on. Remember, you've invested money, time, and passion into this hobby. With some preparation and a tad of effort, ensure your collection remains timeless.

Are Your Action Figures Stored Right?

Ensure your Funko remains impeccable with ideal storage.

Start by evaluating your current storage units for figures. Reflect on your storage methods and ask:

• Can I easily access my Funkos?
• Are they organized and labeled?
• Are they stored in a climate-controlled setting?
• Any risk of damage in their present space?
• Do I want certain figures on display and others packed away?
• Are they still in their original packaging?
• Do I intend to sell or keep them?
• How large is my collection?

After assessing your collection's present and future storage needs, you're equipped to make informed decisions.

While some purists argue that keeping figures in original boxes ensures value retention, it's vital to remember why you began collecting. If displaying or occasionally using your Funkos delights you, go for it. The joy they bring might be the real value.
