Sideshow Exclusive Display Question
For those of you that have the 4th and 5th scale Exclusive Sideshow statue Maquette's that might come with different hands, accessories, heads or color variants etc... Do you just keep out on display the pieces that you want to show on your statue and put the other pieces back in the box, or do you keep them out maybe behind or in the display case?
Asking because I have a bunch where I want to swap something out every once and a while but I hate going into my storage to get the box and get out what I need to swap. Its a lot of work for a different head or pose.
Just curious on anyone's thoughts.
-Mike

I display the pieces that I want to and then I buy small plastic totes and line them with foam and put the extra pieces in there. I keep the totes close by because I like to change up the display fairly regularly.

Depends. For parts I want to swap I’ll leave the non displayed head right next to it or behind the statue. Usually heads, or swap out weapons.
For parts I won’t swap out I leave them in the box. Typically the non-energy hands if there’s an energy hand, or the fist or open hand if there’s a weapon hand, and a few regular heads if I far prefer the Ex.

The quickest way to double your money is to fold it in half and put it back in your pocket.

If you don't mind posting a pic of these tots and the lining. I like the way that sounds and would like to see yours to gather a few ideas.
Thanks.

I put on the pieces I like. I’ve never switched anything out. They are all still in the box.

Thank you, sir. Our mere light or unhealthy participation in such an expensive and needless hobby is ridiculous to most. May as well lean into it full tilt and enjoy yourself.
I find it more accessible and less insane to guests when they visit and see a clean display with all of the unnecessaries tucked away in their own place. Also accommodates my OCD.

@Lestat hah! Well, the pelican cases aren't necessary. They do seal tightly and keep light out, but if I were on a budget, I'd take DarkLantern's route.
You can buy plastic bins and order pre-cubed foam sheets online. Much cheaper than buying a Pelican case.
