For all action figure collectors, it's important to keep your treasures in top-notch condition. Whether you're a beginner or an experienced collector, we offer a checklist here to preserve and care for your figures.
1. Cleaning
The first step in preserving your action figures is regular cleaning. Dust particles and dirt can build up over time, affecting both the appearance and value of your figures.
Tips:
- Use a soft brush to remove dust.
- Lightly dampened cloths can be used for tougher dirt; however, be careful with sharp details.
2. Store in the right place
Proper storage is key to preventing damage and excessive exposure to sunlight. Make sure your figures are placed in a safe and secure location.

3. Use protective materials
Using protective materials can make a big difference in preserving the original condition.
- Sleeves: These can help reduce scratches and other superficial defects. We recommend Just Sleeves - Clear Japanese Size for effective protection.
4. Maintaining the figures' color
Keeping figures in their original colors can be a challenge, but with the right paint and shading, you can easily maintain (and even improve) their appearance.
- We recommend using high-quality paints like Vallejo - TMM / Shade - 148-18ml Amethyst Purple and Vallejo - TMM / Base - 121 - 18 ml Sterling Silver for optimal results.
5. Invest in quality figures
Last but not least, it's a good idea to invest in quality figures. These are usually made from better materials and have a higher collector's value. You can read more about this in the article The benefits of investing in quality figures and figurines.
