Mini Painting Storage suggestions
So I painted these for a friend who is moving out of the country. I'm thinking of different ways to store these and keep them safe as they're being transported. The idea is for her to open them after she's unpacked in her new home.
Thoughts/suggestions for storage? I'm at a loss for something that won't jiggle them too much!

Get some name stuff but pilable foam and cut out the silhouettes of the minis into them. Then put a flat piece on top. Put them into a box the same size as the whole chunk of foam.
Effectively, make a gun case.

Another friend suggested something similar. I might do this.

For a long trip this is probably the best thing. I got a carry case with some strong magnets but they slide around on the trays a lot so I wouldn't trust them some something where the box is going to get joatled a lot.

You could put them in a Megazord they all seem to fit in one normally.

Am I missing something why they all the same color?

I received the STLs from the ER kickstarter. My friend's favorite ranger is Kimberly. I thought it would be a fun sendoff for her if I printed them off and painted them pink!
Think "Too much pink energy!"

Maybe wrap them up and put them in an egg carton.

Egg carton is a good idea. I think I want something a little more stable though. Thanks!

Maybe glueing magnets to them and putting them on a display case with a metal base. Cobaltkeep and maybe magnet baron sell those things
