What is the best way to store Minimates?
- In an airtight container. (74%, 40 Votes)
- In a porous container. (26%, 14 Votes)
Total Voters: 54
Airtight wins by a pretty large margin. I do agree with the sentiment of some that you really shouldn’t store them at all, but instead display them or play with them. But, if you must store them (I’ve moved twice since I started collecting, so need will come up), I’d say airtight is better. You avoid outside moisture and other environmental damage, such as cigarette smoke. My only complaint is that when storing customs in airtight containers, I’ve noticed the paint sometimes became tacky (though this could be more telling for the inferior quality of my paint than anything else).
That’s it for this week. Join us in seven for the answer to the question:

You know I figured this would be a piece of cake to vote but I cant do it….I cant pick just one release! instead here is a run down of which ones I am most excited for from most to happy-but-not-over-the-moon for
1 – marvel series 31
2 – marvel series 29
3 – secret wars
4 – infinity gauntlet
5 – TRU series 5
6 – ghostbusters boxset 2
7 – ray and slimer pack
8 – marvel series 30
9 – marvel series 32
10 – T2 series 2
I am super pumped for multiple man making that number 1, numbers 2-9 really rate about the same as I love the Marvel and Ghostbusters lines and the T2 line I am liking but doesnt compare to my want of the others!

It’s very hard to choose.
For me it is the Secret Wars set, because of Monica, SW Doom and the Beyonder.
Three figures I never expected to see as a Minimate.
