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

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!

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

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.

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.

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 RU-vid 👍

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

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

Not a bad idea for storage thanks for sharing 👍

Thank you for showing this! Awesome idea

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

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

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

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.

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. 😅

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.

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

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

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!!!!

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

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

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.

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.

Trusting you on this and just dumped a bunch of Christmas money ordering these. Will report back when I receive them. Thanks for the tip.

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.

These are perfect man. Thanks!

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

Great video Zen!

Awesome idea!

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.

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

That's a brilliant idea, I hate plastic food bags, this is way better, great video.

This is perfect. i have these for my paint brushes i use to customize classifieds, and never thought to use them for figures...perfect. Great video, now i shall subscribe!

Great tip! Thanks!

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

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

I’ve used Plano tackle boxes for years. Fits most figures and can usually get 6 figures to a box.

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.

Super helpful dude. 👍

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

I'm looking into Crayon storage boxes for weapons, Also high capacity Pencil Boxes, been finding a few good ones even for 12" figure on Amazon.

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.

Again, Great Video!

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.

Cool find, thanks for sharing.

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 😃

simply tidy great for guns and stuff or body parts for customs

Great, thanks!!

Great video

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)

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

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.

Dope video! Yea these work best for imports like sh figuarts mafex etc but can fit legends or even mezcos if you pop the heads off!

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.

Nice

Thank YOU

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.

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

Good ideas but ill stick to ziplock bags in boxes.

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.

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!

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

Now where are you going to store all these pencil cases?

Great job!

Thank you for the video. I just found you and subbed!

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.

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?

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

Nice i ordered a set of the clear one's to see if they work fr my figs but question hw about fr chubby character's?

Ise the photo organizer for my lego minifigures and accessories

I have come to realize if you store your figures and you dont display them you will end up over spending .

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.

Wow dude how'd you get kelly and Flint into those boxes i've tried and for the love of me i can't. kelly's gut doesn't allow him to fit and Flints back gun holster wont allow it

I wonder if these work with wwe elites/ultimates?

If I bought one for all my figures at 1.00 each I would need around a grand

Anyone know if these work with mattel WWE figures?

I can’t imagine why anyone likes 6” figures. They’re too big. I don’t like them at all. 4” and 5”; that’s it for me. For 4” figures, get a $5 organizer from Harbor Freight. It holds 12 figures. Still looking for a 5” case.

Ehhh, just keep their original packaging, and put them in large clear plastic tubs. The squarer the corners, the better.
