My collection not godlike enuf ... And quite a few (3 or 4 of them) broken figures, like, the base peg. Fortunately they are old figures.
And i kinda regret i didnt keep their boxes in the past. My mum used to complain boxes, but now the total opposite - encourage me to keep boxes so that it is easier to move them if there is renovation in the future. And she can see the potential value in them if i plan to sell.

Hmm for now I actually pack them in big boxes whenever I move out

^ Each figures need to wrap in plastic though before putting all in a single big carton box; dust and paint scratches can happen from figure contacts, personal experience, especially matte surfaces. Not to mention their tendency to topple over.
Dust itself in a room can scratch a figure. So, i keep those expensive ones in their boxes now.

Yeah boxing was an issue for most collector at first. But it seems the end decision was still to keep the boxes. Especially when one figurine becomes rare over time, we would then wish we have kept the box.

However the boxes are taking away 30% of my room.

My campus hostel, a 3 person room but i have been hogging it for the past 2 years, looks like a storehouse or something, carton boxes and figure boxes everywhere, The warden's gonna kill me if he sees it.

Wow you keep figurines inside a hostel campsus? Bank in Uni time i cannot imagine putting any of such in a room fo three. It doesnt feel safe.

Also, after hearing your explaination above, im going to keep my unboxed collection BIB. Like Alter Kos Mos. Hunting such old figurine will be a pain in the ass if its damaged/broken. Too bad cant enjoy the figurine up close and person already

Few that is farmiliar to me are Shunya Yamashita Rosanna, Sera Chan and Non Non. Is sera chan and Non Non rare? See the price in ebay/amazon kinda high already.

shunya's figures back then quite popular .. especially sera, mirei, shii arisugawa ... they all based on shunya's artwork ..
now more companies doing that .. taking artworks into figures .. and even better details and qualities ..
even the bishoujo series based on shunya's .. it becoming too many .. i have to stop somewhere..


and yeah... space really2 a problem for every collectors .. especially when you get too attached wit their boxes .. or you simply dont have a display cabinet to display them

some of my one piece pop at the corner of a room

my only qb's figure ... bought her because of her to be a pirate ..
but her box art already too much bare .. had to keep her somewhere out of ppl's eyes.. especially my in laws ..

Glad wrap works wonders and cheap too
Or u can use those phone seller wraps

can keep a huge amount of dust away .. protect the box better from fungus or termites ...
but when i get a nice display cabinet.. will unwrap them to take out the figure .. then wrap the box again

There are two versions of this.
One is in black armor, the other is in silver.
Can't afford buying both, so I opted the black one.

I envy your witchblade collection.
They cost an arm and a leg now.

Nice wrapping job you got there. I've wrap those of my precious figures only. But I got a very poor wrapping job.

Missing that in your collection?

i have that as well .. used to be a completest in collecting figures ...
i've completed shunya yamashita until canal, witchblade, pop one piece, even hatsune miku
when at a point i realized .. it's endless .. i need to stop ..

Sold most of my Doubles away, Almost triple the $$

yup.. collecting scale figures also serve good investment ..
but to buy multiple, need big capitals ... haha .. sometimes buy 1 also suffer, what else to buy 2 ..

I bought doubles because I know I will get my $$ back and a free figure
