I use “Stackers” from the Container Store. They are lined drawer organizers that you can stack. Saves me from digging through a bin of ziplock bags and also keeps the accessories from getting damaged from being thrown into a bin of ziplock bags.
Just an FYI, the clear plastic drawers in your organizer will degas and yellow. Anything that’s white or clear plastic may be affected by this and could yellow or change color (blues go green). I learned this the hard way. Your best bet long-term is acid-free baggies in a cardboard box.
Should definitely have a good pair of tweezers for all the tiny accessories (like Nebula's holster) especially installing those button cell batteries. As well as a hair dryer for heating up hands anytime the pegs get stuck in them. Also use a small screw driver. I use the tiny screwdrivers that come in those eye glass repair kits
And if you display figures in the open like on a shelf, make-up brushes are excellent for dusting. The brushes are soft and delicate, not abrasive. They wont damage materials. And they work great for getting dust off headsculpts with finely sculpted details, like hair.
Black Sharpe: fix pleather vs painting. Before use of super glue, should use hot glue or E7000 (both can be reheated and removed). Avoid pliers. Our best and free tip #1 tools is heat gun (will let you know best one for under 30USD). This will allow you to remove joints, feet and hands with easy little to no force.
Tackle boxes also work really well for accessories. I've got a few big ones that I drop all my hands, guns, etc from different lines in.
I'd also suggest getting a tweezer set.
I've found both a super thin straight set and one with an offset tip to be very useful.
@@daniel_sc1024 I recently ordered a set from Etsy. I realized I needed craft tweezers when I peg got stuck in a doll's head I was working with :-)
@@rigbegreen I started my 1:6 scale collecting with military figures. The tweezers are invaluable in attaching all the various pouches to the molle system vests, and threading belts and wires through loops.
@@daniel_sc1024 No doubt. I bought my set for dioramas and in case things got stuck.
Thanks for the heads up on the protectant wipes; I've been wondering about a good brand to use.
Another use for double-sided tape: wrap it around the end of your finger and use it for cleaning lint and dust off cloth surfaces.
Another useful item for cleaning are those cans of compressed air used for cleaning computers.
i use shrink wrap (can be bought in large rolls, not the kitchen type) to protect and airtight proof my art boxes
One of those sticky lint roller brush thingies can come in handy.
Tackle boxes are a good alternative to ziplock bags. Most fit in a besta from IKEA
I use a plastic crafts organizer for figure accessories. Thank you for the info on posing figure capes. I have the Christopher Reeve Superman. And his cape could use some of the artistic wire.
I use that drawer organizer for lego pieces but it is too small for hot toys collection. For now I just have everything still in boxes cuz I’m afraid of getting acc. damaged but need a better system for that
Tweezer is very important for anything not Hot Toys related and also plastic food wrap for TPE figures.
Lint roller, and glue dots. Check out Black Ops Toys and see Brian's guide.. that guy has been into 1/6 scale stuff for decades.
Grabbed these items this morn!!! Thank you so much!
Thanks for the tips Ryan, this was extremely helpful!
Loving these collectors helpful tips man!! Keep it coming!!
I want my spiderman to be hanging from a shelf bracket and fishing wire would be great to string him up. I also want my Golden armour wonder woman with the gigantic wings to be suspended from the ceiling as she is just so big with those deluxe wings she will take up the space that would be better for three figures.
instead of blutac a better option is museum gel, clear colour
Tiny magnets!! Mind blown. So simple and so effective, thanks for the tip.
you forgot to put example photos in the fence wire segment for outdoor/posing figures. At least they didn't show up for me.
yeah I think he forgot
Great video thanks Ryan! Really helpful!
Great video man! So useful and practical! Thank you!!!
Good stuff my guy. I use small paint brushes to get dust out of tight crevasses.
Jedha Patrol, this is another informative and most useful video...These are the non sexy purchases for the serious Hot Toys collectors that is not really talked about to take your collection to the next level..these items are most important to maintain your hot toys, thanks.
Could you post the link for the lazy Susan?
My endgame cap's white and red abdomen stripes have dulled down in color, how to make them vibrant again, ive tried cleaning it multiple times but it feels it isn't dirt but colors naturally dulled down.
Help Im in a dilemma - do I go a HT Hulkbuster deluxe or 3 1/6 pieces MK47, MK L and the upcoming Iron Patriot? the cost of the HB is basically equivalent to 3 1/6 pcs.
Do you recommend some sort of plastic pry tool for like really small stubborn flaps or maybe battery compartments?
I use museum gel insted of blue tag😃 way beter and it’s invisible on glass! You can hold the figure upside down🤔( at you’re own risk😱)
Do you think that 303 protectant would be good for something like Deadpool's suit? To protect it but not remove any sort of weathering as well.
Great video man! Very useful!
Yes, thank you! I needed this one.
I also find very useful a fine scalpel/Stanley precision blade and a set of fine snips, like for cleaning the tab off the part when making Gundams. I also have a fine pare of tweezers and something fine like cotton wool tips,
Recommend Mothers VLR for pleather and rubber material. Tweezer nose pliers for the smallest items. Armature wire for easier bending wire. Large makeup/blush brush for dusting.
Great tips...I also use magnetic tape or Velcro when buttons or little pieces fall off ... One of yodas pouches fell off ...I didn't want glue splatter all over the clothes... I ended up getting magnetic tape and looks great now.
Thanks for the tips and tricks, they will be most helpful 👍
This was an awesome and educational video. Thanks Ryan!
Hi Ryan, can you show a few poses u did with the fence wire?
I bought my first Hot Toys figure Endgame Ronin, and because you cannot have Ronin / Hawkeye without Black Widow I also picked her up. I have seen people complain the fabric on Black Widow will stick to itself over time, will the 303 wipes prevent that? Or is there a better way to preserve that material
I have three closets, one in my office and two large ones in my master bedroom and one closet is full of sixth scale boxes floor to ceiling, I usually don't repose my figures bacausd I can't go through all those boxes. All my figures are in my studio/office where I actually have to work out of so I have a large desk for my MacBook and PCs and one desk that's my drafting table with bookcases across one wall and two long shelves on the other wall I have a closet that is in there that is full of art supplies. I have Darth Vader and Luke with their stupid saber battery pack arms on and I'm ordering ccfl lightsabers because the sabers don't really light up very well and the batteries are dead, but I can't remember how to take their saber arms off and I'm afraid I will break them but I need to have them reposed to hold the new sabers.
For places that are very humid would you also recommend dehumidifier to control the climate in your collection room?
Great video as always ! Thanks !
Thanks for the all good stuff, also you can used a pressurize duster can to clean your figures bases .
Watch what type of super glue you use and or how much, some brands will frost over around and where you apply it more so than others.
Thanks for the tips. I'm gonna try those 303 protectant wipes and see if they help.
very cool video, great tips
Hey you have any tips to avoid paint chipping on diecast figures?
How do I prevent or slow down rubber on figures from breaking down?
How to avoid SS batman suit from flaking? Oil?
Musthave tool for me is soft brush (for cosmetic powder or smth) to clean out the dust
right on
This is so useful
I'm not sure about right now, but back then, many collectors who own hot toys figures recommended that you clean and spray varnish once per year in order to make sure that they don't degrade...
This is solid advice. Recently, while moving things around, a box came down on my Hot Toys Mandolorian 1/6th scale and broke one of the plastic spikes holding the Storm Trooper helmet. Don't worry, that's my display version, I double order. I was wondering if you could give some advice on how you would repair it? Thanks in advance. I really enjoy the education on this channel.
Do you know if the black panther / Erik killmonger suit made of pleather material that needs to be treated 303 wipes?
Great vid as always, didn't you miss linking your turn table?
Hey would I use 303 wipes on my Advanced Suit Spider-Man from the PS4 game jedha ?
Are you not allowed to post links? I posted a link to a bin I use, but my comment is gone. I bought the ArtBin Super Satchel Slim With Anti Tarnish Dividers from JoAnn Fabric. I have 4 and they stack very nicely.
Could you do a similar video on cleaning supplies you use?
I got this storage cabinet for my 1/12 figures. The best purchase i have made - besides the figures themselves :)
What do you recommend for Wonder Woman Body maintenance?
Very good and informative video dude. How do you clean your figures
Jedha my new hope Luke belt is cracking in half it is holding on a thin layer how do I repair or glue it back together
Amazing man... Thanks a lot.... NEXT video should be about cleaning the figures... I could really use some tips... Greetings from Chile
Glue dots!
That's a smart idea with those magnets I wish I could have a stock of those stupid little batteries my r2 and 3P0 are not lit up and I can't find the batteries
Love your man cave. So organised. Mine is a complete mess. So pristine and color coordinated. do you have another room for your multicoloured Figures?!
Believe me...mine is destroyed a lot of the time
Just a word of caution to collectors with small children, do not leave the magnets laying around. Very dangerous if they are swallowed! I'm sure most of you know this, but just wanted to throw it out there.
The drill is called a pin vise.
Question: How do you attach the wire to a cape. I’ve got two Mandos coming next week (very first hot toys purchases) and I want to pose their capes.
I’m a model builder so I’m pretty handy with modeling tools.
@Isaac Altman thanks. I had an opportunity to buy Beskar and Durasteel Mando at the same time and couldn’t pass it up. Very excited!!
So the Deadpool figure bag pockets, have come open over time and was wondering if that Glue you used would do the Job and close them up nicely?
Great video, didn’t see the link to the turn table.
Bro, have you experienced moments in your time collecting that you feel you wanna stop?
sometimes, it happened to me
and what is your suggestions for me when that feeling comes again? how to keep the enthusiasm?
I am considering purchasing a storage case like this for my accessories: www.michaels.com/clear-plastic-case-by-recollections/10149891.html One of the benefits is that you can determine the size of each compartment. Hopefully, the latches are secure.
I've seen these, good idea to check out
@@Linda-hf7vr Thanks!
I have the larger version of this with removable slots (baby groots hands are huge) and it works great
@@ChavonCole I purchased something similar from Ikea years ago but most likely threw it out. And since I have been collecting Walking Dead and Hot Toys figures, I think these cases will be great for the accessories.
Have you tried 303 LEATHER? I just bought one but i havent tried them on my spiderman hot toys figures :)
Spider-Man’s suits aren’t leather they’re made of rubber material. I was wondering the same thing though if I’m able to use the 303 wipes for pleather and rubber materials
Did i order Tonk Commander before you had video on it :P ?
Nice suggestion on the accessories, but wont they collide with each other and possibly scratch themselves?
5:54 You said the word that should not be said out loud! It’s the Voldemort of materials!! I despise p.l.e.a.t.h.e.r! 😫
I’ve been using baggies for awhile now and my bin is overflowing. If you end up finding a good storage system please update us lol
How many figures you got "expert"?
You forgot hair dryer for loosening tight rubber hands for holding things, lol but not so essential. Great video nevertheless.
Did you think about making a board on the wall, to hang this bags and sort them by alphabet, or the story they come from, or by type for example Jedi troopers etc. This box is still a mess. Make a board with few nails and hang them there, write lables right on board, much easier than that box. Also like the bang you smashed Mando's face on the table. I am kind of sorry fot that Mando lol. You have to use mini GK kit electric hand drill. Gives you much better control than Screw driver hand drill. The thing you need to cover, which i probably missed, is the storage shelves you use for figures. Obviously this have to be custom made, i didn't find anything good, or ones that don't let the dust in, So i just stick them with rubber flaps to cover gaps lol.
Lol i have the same thing on my ormor mando
I got an organizer for my Marvel Legends. It’s called the toy room 😂
Hey jedha great vid! where do you order your hot toys figures from?
I’m pretty sure he’s started getting them from pop collectibles
My terminator tech noirs dead won’t pop in 😡😡😡
Awesome all the essentials are here 😅 btw you getting yourself that Season 2 upgrade kit for the Full Beskar Mando by Art15? 😀 i got myself the Dark Blade, Beskar spear, S2 right leg armor plate and left knee pad 🥳
Nah, I’ll wait on hot toys
@@JedhaPatrol cool i understand, the only reason I got it is because I know that right leg armor plate will be such an eye sore knowing I could get the accurate one 😆 and knowing Hot Toys, even with all the sculpted parts will probably not release the S2 Mando til like 2023 😬 that’s unacceptable
9:57 „Werkzeug“ is German and means „Tool“ 🇩🇪😎
you get a haircut? lookin fresh mah boy👌🏼
Makeup brushes, great for dusting off figures
use calligraphy brush .. white coloured fine tips
Bro you gotta get some tweezers!!!
"I bought a DC figure". Which Batman did you buy?
X
love you jedha but that "tote" made me cringe , things like 6th scale weapons , swords rifles etc , will bend out of shape with all that weight on them . clothing is fine to throw in a bin I guess but never actual accessories , for those i have a giant fold out fishing tackle box , and the weapons and accessories i dont want smooshed or bent go in each of the little tackle lure slots ....
