    Default out of the shadow

    hey all, finally an intro after joining a while ago. been lurking on and off inbetween work and raising 3yr old (who's been turned into a fan asap).
    been collecting for a number of years now which were all sealed until son arrived then started to release a few to display, he now has his own collection made up of the younger targeted toys and a few deluxes of his faves. one thing been wanting to find out, is best way to display without them collecting dust? (apart from sealed glass cabinets which im looking into)

    Mabuhay and Welcome to the board



    Unfortunately dust will get into everywhere be it with a cover or not. As long as there a lot of traffic in the area of display, dust will be there faster than it would. Less traffic wont mean less dust at times. Regular vacumming - especially if you've got carpet (their dust collectors) in the room and I mean thorough vacuuming, not just willy nilly - so get a good one too, will help keep it in check. yeah Glass cabinets only seem to mask the dust issue, even the sealed once. Because the glass display is somehow clear you don't get to see the dust immediately but if you look closer - it's there. I have glass shelves but since it's tinted black I do see the dust accumulate, compared to the clear glass case (IKEA Detolf) I have, its the same when I run my finger on the shelf. but to the naked eye, it looked less due to it being clear glass, light refraction I guess. So for me, I just do regular vacuuming, and once in a while (like once every 3 months) I dust the shelves using a glass cleaner wet wiper. I don't dry dust coz that only pushes the dust and most likely flings it back in the air. try vacuuming as well as wet wiping (not water please)the shelves, once dry then placed back your figures. I takes me a week to finish - yup I don't do it all in one go as I get caught up playing with some of the figure while Im in the middle of cleaning hehehe. it's more fun that way and less like a chore.

    Well hope we see your collection photos when you've set it up. Cheers!
