The BEST 6” Action Figure Storage Idea to Organize G.I. Joe Classified Marvel Legends and more

[@CincyNerd]

This is the storage solution I've been looking for! Thank you for sharing. I'm about to buy four 12-packs for my undisplayed figures.

[@BaldyLockz]

Awesome man! Good luck and lmk how it works out for you

[@TheDuke013]

I use a ziploc container for accessories, but want a weapons rack to display the weapons. I use tackle boxes for lego because they have dividers that you can customize.

[@BaldyLockz]

Yeah the tackle boxes are great for that

[@PaulGallianoChannel]

Great idea! My type A pseudoscience personality definitely appreciates this. Also, when I saw the blue boxes for the JOES, I immediately thought, "Red for the Cobras!" and that's where you went. Very cool!

[@BikoX]

Outstanding! I'm always looking for upgrades for my figure storage. These look great, going to get some. Thanks for sharing!

[@BaldyLockz]

They made a huge difference for me. Glad to share.

[@wilfredodiaz8743]

That's crazy because I have some of these that I bought to organize my art supplies at Michael's so I know exactly what you're referring to. Never crossed my mind that you could store figures in them... Thanks for that tip abd sharing your video with us here on KZbin 👍

[@BaldyLockz]

It's crazy because I was the same way. I was cleaning up art supplies too and it hit me

[@rndmthoughts4256]

Dude. Ive been obsessing on how to store them. So sick of ziplocks. Want them to look amazing. And i stumbled on this vid. Thank you. Thank you so much!!!!

[@SpineTicks]

Awesome video. Was looking for something like that pencil box. YO JOE!

[@BaldyLockz]

I’m a few months late to seeing this but did it work out for you?

[@SpineTicks]

@@BaldyLockz thanks! I never did find one affordably online via the various websites. I still like the idea if I can find one but in the meantime I bought a few of those shoe holders for the door and put them in there.

[@Wesker5415]

Thank you for showing this! Awesome idea

[@duaneflint11]

I think I'm going to go to Michael's tomorrow and grab some of those pencil cases.

[@4feathers]

Not a bad idea for storage thanks for sharing 👍

[@BaldyLockz]

You’re welcome

[@rynohobbies]

Thank you for making this. I just ordered the storage case for accessories. I'm relieved, I can stop using bags.

[@BaldyLockz]

It's like a weight lifted for me so hopefully you feel the same way. I'm glad I was able to share. Good Luck!

[@DangerDaveLok]

Great find on those pencil cases. I like it’s compactness and stackable design.👍🏼

[@BaldyLockz]

Me too. I just finished with most of my loose figs and man what a difference it makes

[@stevenboyd3756]

Great idea. That case for the 1/18 scale figs will be really helpful. 👍

[@BaldyLockz]

It really made a huge impact for me

[@williambabcock3317]

I’m glad you found those cases I’ve been storing mine in those for about five months now you’re so perfect

[@BaldyLockz]

Thats cool! You’re right it is a perfect solution. Glad it’s working for you.

[@melvinchinault9832]

Great idea! I read through some of the comments here and it got me to thinking. If you have smaller collections this would be great but if you have a large collection then you could use these cases for your more expensive pieces and bags for the rest. Its just that the plastic bins gives you that extra piece of protection when in storage. As I don't have a lot of 6" figures the pencil boxes would be great for me and 3-4" boxes in the larger case well I may need 2 or 3 of those but they are going to be great for me as well all I now need are something for the cardbacks.

[@CevinKory]

Yes I need them pencil box for my 7 inch action figures

[@itsdantaylor]

This is going to help a lot with my figure organization. Thanks so much for this tip!

[@BaldyLockz]

Awesome good luck!

[@MikeH7186]

Definitely going to check these out. I'm not in a position yet where I need them but I am steadily approaching it.

[@BaldyLockz]

They have made such a difference for me with organizing.

[@OddDude21]

I have been looking for exactly this for the longest time. Thank you so much

[@BaldyLockz]

I hope it works well for you

[@RoleKeeper]

Cool find, thanks for sharing.

[@BaldyLockz]

Yeah it’s just such an easy way to store the figs. Thanks for checking out the video.

[@gyrapados1142]

The photo holder case with the 16 individual boxes is awesome for 3.75 stuff. I wish there was something like that that the pencil cases could be put into.

[@BaldyLockz]

Same. I’m hoping to find a solution that works and I’ll share it

[@jcombes1]

BEST ADVICE ON KEEPING YOUR COLLECTION ORGANIZED! Found myself at Michael’s and thought about this video. Replayed it while at the store to make sure I was getting the right ones, the pencil box AND the photo box. I bought the remaining 6 they had on stock and 1 case of 16 photo box set. I was anxious to find out how they would all fit. AGREE, the pencil box was the best container to fit and retain accessories for the 6 inch figures. SOMEWHAT AGREE, on the photo box container. 4 Star Wars 3.75 in figures fit in 1 photo box. This is ideal for the 4 in 1 box set troop builders. I’m on the fence on individual figures. I would not want the accessories to be mixed with each other. I’m the type that prefers to have his mashed potatoes separate from his steak. In short this could be a Me thing. What separates Hoarders from Collectors is the way the items are kept and maintained. As my collection grows, your video has helped defined me as a Collector… and shows my wife that I do have control over myself and a good head on my shoulders. 😅

[@RatedRGameGuy]

That’s a awesome idea!! Never thought of that

[@BaldyLockz]

Thanks lmk if it works for you

[@zelderonsgameroom7319]

So going with these keep in mind the back to school clearance cause those pencil boxes are sold all over the places for cheap. I will definitely get mine then thx for the idea was very helpful

[@BaldyLockz]

Awesome idea because I’m going to need more

[@TheArtOfReSelling1]

Very cool idea, Im going to have to try that myself.

[@YakBat]

If you're on a budget, get meal prep boxes,, their tops also allow for figure with backpacks and such, can easily fit 2 figures. I can even fit some 7" figures if I remove their heads, and they are stackable. 50pk for $25

[@BaldyLockz]

I love that idea and it sounds economical. Can you share a link?

[@37Kilo2]

I use the photo/scrapbooking cases for my small electronics components in the workshop. Also use a label maker to print out a label for the spine of each container so I know what's in each. Those cases are awesome; never would have thought to use them for figures like this.

[@loganus9114]

[@darthjoc]

I use those pencil boxes for accessories. I got one for guns, one for lightsabers, and one for random stuff. But i put a few of the high end imports in them as well. Might get that case as well tho.

[@SuperTiso]

This was exactly the solution I was looking for. I'm collecting G.I. Classified and a select few Marvel Legends and needed a storage solution for the accessories and parts from when I open them from their boxes. I cannot even display anything from my collection since Detolf's are expensive and hard to find. That box case might be better for my majority collection of 1/18 figures.

[@BaldyLockz]

Awesome! I hope it works well for you

[@joerodriguez8519]

Great video!! Thanks! I had no idea about these cases but definitely will work for most of my collection!!!

[@BaldyLockz]

Cool, keep me posted with how it works out

[@grogu3034]

Amazing video, however, wouldnt it be cheaper and better if you were to just keep the original box that the figures come with?

[@BaldyLockz]

Thank you. And yes, absolutely cheaper, but this takes up less space and is geared towards openers that don't keep the boxes. I recycle all the boxes I open, and this is just a cleaner way to keep things together and organized.

[@grogu3034]

@@BaldyLockz definitely agree with the “it takes less space”, hopefully they go for sale so I can buy 5 of the pencil case bundle. But for now I will just use a TV box to store the action figure boxes haha

[@jpg0029]

I'm doing this with all my mafex, revoltech, and 1/144 scale gunplas. I use the longer version of the pencil case for 1/100 scale gunplas and other larger figures. Great way to save space and reduce all box trash at home.

[@BaldyLockz]

Oh that’s great. Keep me posted to how it works out for you

[@steveegarcia6532]

What about motu origins. Do you think those would fit in there?

[@Coffeecorner2000]

Thanks, those plastic boxes with the mini boxes insode are a great idea and salution for my G.I. Joe classified figures because i don't have the perfect place to display them yet and i can throw all the G.I. Joe bosex away they just take up a lot of space in my room.

[@BaldyLockz]

Awesome. It makes it easy for me to rotate my display without having every figure out

Great video!!! Nice solution for 6" figure storage, always looking for new ideas on storing figures. I would be interested in seeing if these work for MOTU Classics or Mythic Legions figures.

Going to pick some of these up not only for my Black Series but also for my built Gundam models! Thanks for this video! The Gundams I am always worried about the fins/antennas breaking the way I currently have them stored, this should really alleviate that (and let me chuck a ton of boxes)

I did this too but used a longer version of the clear pencil case because most of my gunpla scales at 1/100. It works perfectly with lots of room for the accesories and parts. Helps a lot to save space and reduce all those boxes.

Great tip! Thanks!

[@raycruz2342]

Would you have a recommendations for a container that fits the 8 x 3 pencil boxes? I like the 1st one you showed bc it comes with case but i agree the second option is better for the larger Joes and Star Wars figures just wondering if you knew of a case that you can fit a bunch of those in, thanks again for the vid very helpful!

[@סוניפראבינאלס]

I would love to have those plastic casings. But unfortunately, they cannot ship it here in Saudi Arabia... So I look for some alternatives on AMAZON. And my ideas are to order Pencil Cases with the external sizes of 8.1" L x 4.7" W x 2.2" D. Color Blue for G.I. Joe figures, Color Pink/Magenta for Cobra figures, & Color White/Translucent for any Army Builder figures. I basically collect 6 figures on each Army figure characters. But thanks anyway for this video. It was very helpful 😃

Fantastic! Thanks for sharing this. Going to the dollars in just a bit! 😂

[@BaldyLockz]

Awesome good luck!

[@brianng8350]

I have to look around to see what are the options. Looking for the average height rather than fitting even the bigger ones. But this is a pretty good idea. I like that they are clear plastic so you can see what is inside. But you should have a label maker to really give that extra organization... hahaha... I think Serpentor is closer to McFarlane figures. So, I think they will fit unless they are like the bigger figures like Bane, Hulk Thanos and such.

[@muzikblitz]

I use the Simply Tidy ones for all my 6" figures. Some of the taller ones, I have to pop the heads off. I haven't tried Serpentor yet. I'm guessing he probably won't fit. I just don't like the other ones because they don't have a carrying case. I need to build a rack for all my carrying cases. I think I have about 15 of them.

[@BaldyLockz]

Are you talking about the ones I used for 3.75? The case is really great for those. I wish the pencil holders had something similar but it works great for my needs

[@ryanwood6754]

awesome video! I just had mine arrive today and setup a bunch of my loose resident evil figures and robocop toys in them. Question though I have some figures in the same toy line that are between 8-9 inches roughly so they don't fit in the same boxes. Do you know of any similar boxes that fit bulkier figures?

[@BaldyLockz]

I had something saved I’ll see if I can find where I got it

[@gabe1083]

Great review! I use a different pencil case from Michael’s. It’s not sexy like these in that they’re not clear and not stackable in the sense that they stick together like the ones you reviewed. No issues with bigger figures though.

[@randyhos7673]

Great video

[@BaldyLockz]

[@holo2869]

Hope this helps. I'm using money bill organizers/compartments. Money bills are around 7 inches long, so the organizer is a little longer than that and fits some Marvel Select, Mcfarlane and Neca figures. Each organizer has 4-6 compartments. Look for transparent/translucent organizers with hinges so they won't break after some use. Each cost $3-$6.

For years I have used those plastic dinner leftover containers that you can buy for like a pack of six of them for five bucks at Walmart. I can't remember the exact size but it's roughly medium size. There's no dividers or anything inside to get in the way and you can fit up to a a 6-in figure and perhaps even taller. The only problem is they don't stack very deep and tend to fill up a bin rather quickly. Eventually I just busted everything out of those and put them in court sized plastic bags. You can get quite a few into a bin and the possibility of figures having warped joints and so forth isn't as much as I had figured it would be. And anything that does get a work joint, just bust out the heat gun

[@BaldyLockz]

That’s not a bad idea either. I use the trays as well to boil and pop the figures

[@agathisrobusta]

Those little boxes are gonna take up a whole lot of space real quick. I prefer figures in bags inside larger boxes that are labelled.

[@BaldyLockz]

I used to do that too but the warping drives me nuts

[@ostentatioussavant8215]

Maybe or maybe not. Little boxes can fit in some unusual spaces. For instance, I have space behind my display cases where i could fit little boxes.

[@CS-ro1mx]

Ise the photo organizer for my lego minifigures and accessories

[@BaldyLockz]

That’s a great idea

[@IdleHandsBlog]

Seems like an excellent solution, but i've literally got HUNDREDS of figures so this wouldn't be cost effective for me. I totally agree that baggies, especially the cheap ones u get at the dollar store, aren't the best idea and eventually lead to plastics breaking down and figure warping on some pieces, but until I can find a source for bulk purchases of something like what you showed off today, that's my best bet.

[@BaldyLockz]

Yes, it’s definitely a great solution but maybe not for a massive collection. I have a few ideas for bulk I’m working on. This idea is more for someone like me that rotates open figs or uses them for photography. I still have a large collection but not massive like some.

[@IdleHandsBlog]

@@BaldyLockz Now imagine a massive collection that is routinely used for toy photography! I'm still trying to find the best way to organize diorama pieces, accessories and playsets in a way that doesn't make me insanely ADHD.

[@IdleHandsBlog]

That said, the photo holder case is great for accessories you find yourself using very often, tho they don't leave much room for effects, but my solution for that is just leave 3 or 4 cases out and put the effects in baggies, in the open spaces, so now you've got a nice little travel pack for a shoot.

[@eyhtwozed2606]

Almost went with this idea but i thought it would be economical to get a big box like those toyogo box and have my legends stack on top of one another.

[@BaldyLockz]

That’s a solid idea too. I use this more to be able to grab just the characters I want for photography.

[@richardcoleman1427]

Sorry but I think this is an insane idea. 1. you have to go out and buy say 100 plastic boxes for 100 figures - so there is a huge cost to that. 2. The space of 100 plastic boxes 'could be' the same as 100 figures in their original packing - which would kinds defeat taking them out of the box. 3. You are going to have to now pack say 25 plastic boxes in yet another say plastic box. Myself I think I would pack in plastic bags, with accessories and leaflets in other smaller bags in the main figure bag. The figure will be just as protected as a hard container as the figures are not rubbing against each other, I've yet to lose paint through the use of even a thin plastic bag !! Also 100 could also fit in 1 large plastic container. The main issue with collecting figures is SPACE in my own humble opinion. I am lucky that I have a loft, 3 spare bedroom and a garage I can convert, so space for me is OK - for many SPACE is at a premium, so I would like to see you do a video on best storage when space is NOT an option

[@BaldyLockz]

I actually thought the same thing since I have so many of my original ARAH and Star Wars figs. But once I started getting 6 inch figs I fell deep in the well. The Harbor freight storage is a great idea. I have a few of those as well.
