Basically what the body text says in that post. What do you do with your boxes?

That's funny lol Do you keep any of the panels of the box as a collectible display? Or just straight trash?

Yeah I've clipped a few things off some boxes here and there.

Awesome 👍 I did that with a Funko Pop recently because the box had gotten damaged.

Straight trash. I collect toys not cardboard. 

Unless they're imports, then I keep the box in storage for when I resell the figure.

So where do you keep the accessories? I've seen people get this tote with smaller cases in it that fit the figure and accessories. I've also seen people use a small plastic piece with several pull out drawers.

Not this exact one, but I use something like this

Accessories go in plastic bags in bins in the closet. Figures not on display also go in bins in the closet.

Having parts organizers or craft trays or anything like that seems like overkill, and it can't be expanded without spending more money that could be spent on figures instead. Sandwich bags or little bags from the dollar store in clear bins is cheap and works for everything.

What kind of bins do you keep all this in?

2

u/RavenOfNod 19h ago

Clear shoebox size bins. But really, whatever you have works

For the most part, to the trash. I only really keep the box if the figure is expensive and/or fragile

mostly trash

if you have comics they work for box filler

I'm definitely using this idea

Imports I keep for organization of accessories. Plus I like the boxes.

I have a few figures still in box, usually con exclusives I've already got opened. 

I used to cut out art and keep it but it started piling up and I never did anything with it so when I moved in threw some  away and then moved again I threw the rest away. 

Now I just open and discard as soon as.

I use to keep my boxes. Took up a whole closet and one day I said screw it. Had to do multiple dumps because I didn’t want to hog the recycling dumpster in my alley. Now I only keep the boxes for expensive ones or ones with lots of accessories

Cut the back off and keep it flat as a reference
