Hello all, I am a new member on this forum and originally came from collecting pops. On the Pop side of collecting, we have Pop! Protectors that perfectly fit each Pop so that it is protected but at the same time displayed in all it's glory. I was wondering for the in-box collectors here, is there anything similar? Here is a sample of my Toy Tokyo Exclusive Planet Arlia Vegeta : Attachment Deleted |

hmm Since there is not a standard box size for sh figuarts I would say there is nothing customized for them like this. I imagine you can buy acrylic cases of certain dimensions to fit particular figuarts but no standard size. I am a box collect and currently I get a poly zip lock bag and tape edges so bag isn't sticking out(this is your cheapest option). There is also display cases like maybe the ikea detolf?

That ikea detolf looks awesome for an entire collection. Plastic or poly zip bags do seem the way to go on the cheap end, but I just dropped 165 on a figure and I'm making sure it'll be protected from accidental dings or creases. I've heard some good things about The Container Store, maybe I'll drop by and see whats what. Thanks |

They're still $70. I don't know how much they cost to ship though, the one I have I drove an hour to pick up myself because I was afraid it would break in shipment. Either way, they're not sealed glass, so getting an extra layer to protect them is a good idea. Custom made cases/sleeves that have little room for them to move around in is your best option.

There are a few clear plastic cases made for protecting MOC figures. I know zoloworld makes a wide range but none specifically for Dragonball figures. What I did was buy a bunch of zoloworld cases from Ebay that were made for other lines and tried them on my figures. It was trial and error and I ended up with some cases I couldn't use and most didn't fit exactly how I wanted but they did the job and look pretty cool. Zoloworld usually lists dimensions for their cases so you could estimate if it would fit your figure or not. There are also star cases for Star Wars and GI JOE sized cards but only one of my figures fit on those. You could also send it to be graded at AFA and they'll put it in a custom acrylic case but that costs a lot.

Oops I messed up with the reply but anyways, AFA can make custom acrylic cases for your figures without grading them, which would be cheaper. Still, it'd be about $50ish, depending on case size I think.
