Do you hang your carded figures on the wall?(major YS find)

[The_Robin]

I HAD to post, for two reasons. One, to brag, the second, to ask a question. Last saturday, I went to a few yard sales with my family, and found the following(at just one house of course)

Original He-Man
Spanish card Skeletor
Teela
Stonedar
Rio Blast
Ram Man
Prince Adam(yellow at bottom of bubble?)

All moc, and all for $30(total) I can't see anything wrong with them, besides a little flaking on a few corners, and a small crease here and there. But the Adam is yellow on the bottom of the bubble for some reason.

I've been thinking about buying the original collection MOC/MIB for a while now, even though I know it will take years to complete(kinda fun), now I KNOW that's what I want to do.

But, do I hang them on the wall? I mean, there's like, 60 or so figures, I can't just sit them around, or I''ll run out of room. So, should I hang them in ziplock bags or what lol.

Thanks in advance guys

I love collecting but I don't want the stuff to take over my house, so I just keep my MOTU collection in my study. I have a really nice display shelf - five by five large and deep compartments - that covers one wall, but I still have more stuff than I can fit on there (I stand the cards up on plate stands). My solution is to rotate my collection. Most of the stuff in is packed away in boxes, and I swap things round every so often so that I don't have an overwhelming amount of stuff out at any one time. That way I get to really appreciate the pieces on display, and have the fun of 'rediscovering them' every time I take them out of storage.

I hang all my MOCs on the wall, through the peg hangs. I don't have room for any loose figures either, and I am running out of room for what loose guys I have anyway, even in my huge curio. So I slap 'em on the wall.

I have a lot in storage as well, but I think it's mostly loose figures.

By the way that is a sweet find, especially at a garage sale. I bet your mouth hit the floor when you found 'em.

YES, Hang your figures on the wall

I'd hang those on the wall, if I wanted them to begin with, because I could care less if they got damaged.

Thanks for the help guys

I wouldn't hang my figures on the wall because they will constantly get dusty and your gonna have to keep cleaning them. Most importantly within time the stresss of the figures weight along with gravity will take its toll and the bubble might start to loosesn from the card.

Hanging them on the wall is much too clinical for me!
Mine are on the shelves ready for all to pic up.

YES, Hang your figures on the wall

do I hang them on the wall? I mean, there's like, 60 or so figures, I can't just sit them around, or I''ll run out of room. So, should I hang them in ziplock bags or what

i have 84 classic moc figures including variants, so thats alot of figures to store up in boxes and never be seen for who knows how long or place them on shelves.. have enough room?

[The_Robin]

i agree!

have enough room?

Yeah I have enough wall space, I was just kinda worried about the points 'LionO' brought up, but if your doing it, I'm sure everything will be fine with a dust every so many days(which I don't mind).

EDIT: GOOD GOD CARLO! That's a friggin awesome horde trooper collection!

[Broc Longstaff]

WOW Carlo, i thought i had a nice horde army, but jeeze man!

well yes and no. I don't have any classic MOC figures. I have a Land Shark NRFB though the plastic front is missing (the vehicle itself is in perfect mint condition) and a MIB Battle Bones


I do have a MOC Flogg and a MOC Optikk hanging up and from the new line I have my chase figures (Orko, Whiplash and Man-E-Faces) hanging up (as well as my classic colors Sorceress staction) and I have my exclusives (She-Ra, Keldor, Moss Man, Faker, Snake Teela) sitting MIB on a shelf.

I also have all my varrients from the new line still Mint but I dont have enough room to hang them all up so there put away for now someday I hope to have a place to display them proudly.

[Crash Jupiter]

Jeez, Carlo...you have *really* high ceilings, don't you?

[carlo]

yea, its up there

[Broc Longstaff]

hey Carlo, i was looking through your pics again (cuz its amazing) and did i spy a Hordak in hordetrooper armour, like in secret of the sword, on your desk with your horde trooper army?

jeeze man thats SWEET!!

[carlo]
