All individual figures go in acid free zip bags from Ultra Zip. I buy the bags with the white bands on them so can hand label them with a sharpie, especially if they are incomplete. I keep the figures in their baggies in 6 qrt Sterelite clasp bin containers. You can get them by the case on Amazon or singly for just a 2.50 bucks at Target. They have a the Plumb colored clasps. They are about the size of a shoe box, in fact I suspect that that’s what they are intended for. Depending on the figures’ accessories you can get about 30-ish figures in there. Less for figures like Data Viper. The reason I use these is that for almost all of the cheap plastic shelving units that you find for like 29 bucks at your local big box mart home improvement store, you can get exactly 12 bins per shelf. 4 across and 3 high. 360 figures per shelf. 4 shelves per rack. If you don’t have 1200+ figures you can use the lower shelf for vehicles etc. Slap a label on the facing end of each bin and you are a highy organized collector.
If concerned about accessories get smaller zip bag to put with the figure in the larger bags. But with 30 or less figures per bin, lined head to toe perpendicular along the narrow length of the bin the figures will stack about 3-4 high but it’s not enough to damage any accessories. Even fragile bayonets like vintage Airborne’s will be safe. Small bins = less figures per bin= less damage to you gear.
Hope this helps. The bins are 2.50, the shelving unit’s used to be about 30. You can go cheap or high end on the zip bags but if you go cheap I’d swap them out every few years to avoid the acid form aging your figures.
I do the same thing. Acid Free bags put in those exact shoe box bins. I put my figures standing up though. For my Cobra Army Builders, I use the bigger flat 8 gallon bins.

If you stand them up, you can get about 130-150 figures in each one. I separate my factions with cardboard inserts. These bins are bigger than the Shoe bins, but a good way to store army builders if you went a little crazy on them like I did.
