Headaches over extra accessories?

[Obiwanjacoby]

So let's say you just got another addition to your loose collection.

This Joe's got maybe, 2 different rifles, a knife, and a sound-attack packpack that won't work with your display. :confused:

What do you do with the extras?

Where do store them?

Have you ever attempted to display a figure with all the accessories they came with? What happened?

dude, I got a big ass box full of extra weapons, missiles, backpacks, etc. Its insane!

I mix and match accessories often.
I also hit Marauder John's website up for accessories.

As for the sound attack guns...I finally found a use for them when I customized that Bass Pro Shops Chevy Avalanche...just dremeled out the slots...and wallah: frontline ammo/gun depot.

I typically keep the extra accessories in a figure clam shell. That way, everything stays organized and easily findable :D

snack sized zip-lock baggies with a card in them that says what figure they belong to.

So far, I've filled 3 ziplock baggies and 2 clamshells. And I try to match every original accessory if the figure can hold 'em. :rolleyes:

And I'm mostly a "one character only" collector!

BTW, looking for Leatherneck's M-16 and Mindbender's gun. LMK off-thread. I can't find them in my bags. :D

This is what I do, too. I can't have too much sitting around my figures 'cause my cats will knock them on the floor with their tails and then my dog will eat them (the accessories, not the cats' tails).

I don't do baggies for each. Last time I moved I decided to to group them in baggies, i.e. Moth sets in 1 baggie, Iron Grenadiers in another, etc. It actually worked out well. Though I still have a big ass box full of God knows what!

I keep all the unused accessories I have in a big tote. I usually arm my figures however I feel, regardless of what accessories they came with.

That is what i do as well.Having file cards for 98% of my collection helps out.I would be lost trying to figure out what goes where and with who.

In snack bags attached to folders labeled and stored in a file cabinet according to year . Started doing this after buying a huge collection and decided that i never wanted to dig for a figure piece again. I have a LOT of free time !!!!

Also the filing cabinet is the only thing my cat cant open.

I pretty much do the zip lock baggie thing, but I organize my weapons by type instead of by figure :

Rifles, Pistols, Sub Machine guns, Backpacks, exotic accessories, Swords N knives, Sound attack weapons, and off color (battle coprs) weapons.

i use duct tape to attach it to the back of the figures. that way they stay together and its very fashoinable :)
