Collecting & Care

If you want to keep your **Honkai Impact 3rd** figures safe, you should use good habits. Many collectors put figures in clear bins under the bed. Some use hanging organizers to protect their figures and find them easily. Acid-free archival bags stop dust and moisture. Climate control and sunlight protection help your figures stay new. At Bahomu, we know how much a collection means to you, which is why we’ve created this comprehensive guide.

Why Storage Matters

Protecting Value

You probably want your Honkai Impact 3rd figures to look as good as the day you got them. Good storage helps you keep their value high. When you store figures the right way, you avoid problems that can make them worth less. For example, if you let dust, pests, or moisture get to your figures, you might see changes in their weight, color, or even smell. These changes can make your figures less valuable to collectors.

Here’s a quick look at what can happen if you don’t store your figures well:

You can see that poor storage leads to more than just a dusty shelf. It can mean real money lost.

Preventing Damage

You want your figures to last for years. Storing them safely keeps them from getting scratched, faded, or broken. Sunlight can fade paint. Humidity can make plastic sticky or brittle. If you stack figures or let them fall over, you might find broken parts or chipped paint. Using the right storage methods helps you avoid these problems. You get to enjoy your collection for a long time, and your figures stay in top shape.

Storing Honkai Impact 3rd Figures

If you want to store your figures the right way, you should be careful with each figure. Safe storage keeps your collection away from dust and scratches. It also stops damage. Here are some easy steps to help you.

Upright Position

Keep your figures standing up straight. This helps stop bent parts or bases that change shape. When you store figures upright, you keep their paint and shape safe. If a figure leans or falls, it might get scratched or break. For more tips on keeping your collection in top shape, check out our guide on collecting and care.

Tip: Put soft padding, like cotton or acid-free tissue, under each figure. This gives support and keeps the base from moving.

You can wrap each figure in acid-free tissue or bubble wrap. Museums use these because they do not hurt plastic or paint. For more safety, put each figure in its own archival bag. This keeps out dust and water.

Here is a simple checklist for upright storage:

• Wrap each figure in acid-free tissue or bubble wrap.

• Put the wrapped figure in an archival bag.

• Stand the figure upright in a bin or on a shelf.

• Add soft padding under the base for support.

Avoid Stacking

Do not stack your figures on top of each other. Stacking puts weight on the bottom figures. This can bend parts, chip paint, or break pieces. When you store your figures, give each one its own spot.

You can use airtight, labeled bins to keep your figures safe. These bins block dust and water. Experts say to use boxes made for collectibles. These boxes keep your figures safe when you are not showing them.

Note: Keep your bins away from windows, heaters, and wet places. A steady temperature and dry air help stop warping and fading.

Here is a table to show upright storage and stacking:

If you want to show your figures, use shelves or clear display cases in shady spots. This keeps them safe from sunlight, which can fade colors. For more ideas on how to organize, check out our game guides.

If you follow these steps, your collection will stay nice. You can enjoy your figures for a long time, and they keep their value.

Storage Environment

Climate Control

You want your **Honkai Impact 3rd** figures to look great for years. The right climate makes a big difference. Plastic figures do best in cool, steady conditions. Try to keep your storage area between 50-60°F (10-15°C). Humidity should stay around 45-55%. If the air gets too dry, plastic can crack. If it gets too damp, you might see mold or sticky surfaces.

• Keep your figures in a room with a steady temperature.

• Avoid places that get hot or cold quickly, like attics or garages.

• Use a small thermometer and humidity gauge to check your storage spot.

• Try not to let the temperature change more than 10°F in one day.

Tip: A simple dehumidifier or air conditioner can help you control the climate. Your figures will thank you!

Sunlight Protection

Sunlight is one of the biggest threats to your collection. Direct sunlight can warp and discolor your figures. Over time, paint fades and plastic turns yellow or brittle. White figures show yellowing the fastest. Even a little sunlight each day can cause damage.

You can protect your figures with a few easy steps:

• Store figures away from windows and bright spots.

• Use UV-filtering acrylic display cases for extra safety.

• Pick LED lights for your display. LEDs do not give off UV rays.

• Try UV-blocking window film or curtains if your storage area gets some sun.

Here’s a quick look at UV-blocking materials:

Note: Even with the best care, some fading can happen over many years. Keeping sunlight away slows this down a lot.

Storage Materials

Acid-Free Boxes

When you want to store your figures for a long time, acid-free boxes work best. Regular cardboard boxes can break down over time and harm your figures. Acid-free boxes keep your collection safe because they do not have harsh chemicals. These boxes use special materials that stop acids from forming. They also have a neutral or slightly alkaline pH, which helps protect your figures from yellowing or fading.

You get even more benefits with acid-free boxes:

• They block moisture, so mold and mildew do not grow easily.

• They have buffering agents that fight off any acids that might sneak in.

• They protect against light and humidity better than normal boxes.

• They last longer, so you do not have to worry about your figures for years.

If you want extra safety, wrap each figure in an archival bag before placing it in the box. This keeps dust and scratches away.

Tip: Always use soft padding, like foam or acid-free tissue, inside the box. This stops your figures from moving around and getting scratched.

Acrylic Cases

Do you want to show off your figures and keep them safe at the same time? Acrylic display cases make this easy. These cases give you a clear view of your collection while protecting it from harm.

Here’s how acrylic cases help:

1. They seal tightly, so dust and dirt stay out.

2. They keep humidity steady, especially if you add silica gel packs.

3. They block UV rays, which stops fading and color loss.

4. They cut down on cleaning because dust cannot get in.

5. They shield your figures from bumps and drops.

Acrylic cases work well for figures you want to display. You can enjoy your collection every day and know it stays safe. To find the perfect piece to add to your display, check out our anime and gaming character figures.

Organization

Shelves vs. Bins

You can use shelves or bins to organize your collection. Both choices have good points. Shelves let you look at your figures every day. Wall shelves save space and keep your room neat. If your collection grows, you can move shelf heights. Glass cabinets keep out dust but let you see your figures. Bins are good if you want to hide your figures. Bins stack up, so you use less space. They keep out dust, sunlight, and water. But you cannot see your figures in bins. You might have to search through bins to find one.

Here is a table to compare bins:

Tip: Use shelves for figures you want to show. Use bins for figures you want to store for a long time.

Labeling

Labels help you stay organized. When you label bins or shelves, you find figures faster. You do not waste time looking everywhere. Labels help you know what you own. If you move or change things, you know where each figure goes.

Labeling helps in these ways:

• You find the right bin or shelf fast.

• You make fewer mistakes when picking a figure.

• You keep track of your collection and know when to add more.

Try to use labels that are easy to read. You can use colors for different characters or series.

Cleaning and Maintenance

Dusting Routine

You want your **Honkai Impact 3rd** figures to look fresh every day. Dust can sneak onto your collection before you know it. If you let dust build up, it can dull the paint and make your figures look old. You can stop this with a simple dusting routine.

Start by picking a soft brush. Many collectors use makeup brushes or small paintbrushes. These tools reach tiny spots and do not scratch the surface. You can also use a can of compressed air for hard-to-reach places. Try to dust your figures once a week if they are on display. If you keep them in bins, dust them every time you take them out.

Tip: Always dust gently. Rubbing too hard can scratch the paint or break small parts.

Here’s a quick dusting checklist:

• Use a soft brush or compressed air.

• Dust figures weekly if displayed.

• Clean figures before putting them back in storage.

Safe Cleaning Products

Sometimes, dust is not enough. You might see sticky spots or fingerprints. You need safe cleaning products to keep your figures looking new. Some cleaners can damage paint or plastic, so choose wisely.

Here are three safe options for cleaning painted anime figures:

You can mix a drop of mild dish soap with water. Dip a soft cloth in the mix and wipe the figure. If you want extra safety, use distilled water. This stops water spots and streaks. Some stores sell cleaning solutions made just for figures. These work well and protect the paint.

Never use harsh chemicals or alcohol. These can ruin the paint and make colors fade.

Long-Term Tips

Insurance

You spend a lot of time and money on your **Honkai Impact 3rd** figure collection. You want to keep it safe from accidents, theft, or disasters. Most regular homeowners insurance does not cover figures very well. It usually has low limits and does not give special protection for collectibles. You can get special insurance made just for collections. These plans give you better coverage and help you worry less. You can find more information about how to protect your collectibles in our contact us page, or by reading articles on official sites.

Here is a quick look at insurance choices:

Some policies protect your figures at home, when you move them, or at events. A few even cover items in public storage. If you ever need to make a claim, the right insurance helps you get your money back fast.

Tip: Check your insurance every year. Change it if your collection gets bigger or different.

Documentation

Good records help you keep track of your figures and make insurance claims easier. If something bad happens, you need proof that you own your figures and what they are worth. Start by making a list of every figure you have. Take clear photos and write down details like when you bought it, how much it cost, and what shape it is in.

Here is an easy way to keep your records neat:

1. Make a list or spreadsheet with all your figures.

2. Keep photos and receipts in a safe place, like a cloud drive.

3. Update your list when you buy or sell figures.

4. Check your records every few months.

Good documentation helps you show what you own. It also makes claims faster and stops arguments with insurance companies. If you keep your records up to date, your collection stays protected for a long time.

Keeping your storage and records current also helps stop problems like plastic breakdown, color changes, or mold. Regular checks keep your figures safe and looking nice.
