Do you guys display your MIMPS or keep them bagged up? As I'm new to collecting I've got all my series 1 and series 2 sculpts on display (sold/selling my other series), however, my fiancée's patience is running out fast! Thinking of buying some plastic re-sealable bags to put each colour type in just in case I take them off display.

I display very few of the things I collect (LRGs and die-cast cars), because I don't want them to get sun-faded or damaged by my pets. If I can find a UV-resistant, pet-proof solution, that will change. My M.U.S.C.L.E. are all in Zip-Loc bags; I have 200+ (as of this posting) in one of the big ones.

I want to display mine in curio cabinets in a secluded room away from the sun. But for now they are in many ziplocs inside several plastic bins. Ah dreams.

Agreed, I'd love a room to display my MIMP plus my many other collectables. Think I'll have a browse on good old eBay for those plastic bags, just need to decide on a good size.

I personally prefer the 2 gallon ziploc sliders for mine. They aren't totally airtight (which is good in some temperatures) but are easy to open and hold a lot of figures. Then I put any that need to stay separate in little snack size ziplocs.

Go buy a few of these and then you'll both be happy.

Mine unfortunatly are mostly in boxes stored away, like yourself my wife aint too keen on my hobby, I did get rid of a load of my mimp a while back but still have one of each figure of series 1 & 2 (motly uncommon or premium colours) in the monster mountain packet they got sold in. Plus a few other things but hopefully when my daughter get a bit older maybe she'll appreciate my hobby & get her on my side

Same as Daxel my misses doesn't share my hobby, but both my kids do so our house is littered with little rubber monsters
My rare figures are in air tight boxes in separate colours to prevent colour transfer. I want to get few of them collection boxes to put some of them in but they go for silly money, and don't need the figures

[bigburty]

I'm starting to notice a trend that wives/girlfriends aren't great fans of the MIMP collecting hobby That leads me to wonder, are there any female collectors within this forum??

i guess im lucky enough to have a 'rare' wife, she supports me completely with my toy collecting, even went as far as buying me 2 AP OMFG!'s and changing my pledge to get me a black and GID set of OMFG!'s for my birthday, i knew there was a reason why i loved her so much

i display every figure get....if i couldnt i wouldnt collect...one of my favorite things to see is a book shelf loaded with toys!

i guess you'll like my mini Boglin display then (i know this is isnt MIMP but seen as we're on the subject of displaying!!)

Very lucky man indeed! Love the top shelf, it reminds of the goblins in Labyrinth.
