what is the best way to store minikins?

[motherscratchin' T.I.M.p.]

can someone share how they store or display? does anyone know if the resin reacts with any plastic etc. long term? i obtained series one when they first came out and put them in individual plastic bags but recently pulled them out and a few seemed to be slightly sticking to the little bags which concerned me. Is there a known no no on storage? Thanks for any help on this.

I'd like to know too. I have had neon red cheap toys get a little sticky as well and if you wipe the, with a paper towel the towel will have some color on it.

Golf ball display cubes would work really well. Something like this

jet.com/product/BCW-Golf-Ball-Display-Cube-Square-Stackable-Holder-Auto-Autograph-1/90a191b28d8e425ab86acc1db2d7d119?jcmp=pla:ggl:a_nj_dur_cwin_home_decor_a3:home_decor_wall_decor_wall_accents_a3:na:PLA_786096674_41409972432_pla-293983870078_m:na:na:na:2PLA15&pid=kenshoo_int&c=786096674&is_retargeting=true&clickid=dbf69867-77df-435d-927f-5d29122b0797&kclid=dbf69867-77df-435d-927f-5d29122b0797&gclid=Cj0KCQjwuYTYBRDsARIsAJnrUXAflkMn0Z3WQDXHJP77Xzi777GTqYts6jsrpLXQMDombiPpMwK095kaAoA3EALw_wcB

Is this just for golf balls and minikins? Could I also use this to store, say, some Reese's peanut butter cups or a scorpion?

Are there any downsides to storing cheap toys in a container like this?:

www.amazon.com/BENECREAT-Organizer-Adjustable-13-5x6-8x3cm-Compartment/dp/B073P78DND/ref=sr_1_13?ie=UTF8&qid=1533069515&sr=8-13&keywords=10+compartment

I don't think these are airtight, so hopefully the stickiness problem liquidfox mentioned earlier in this thread wouldn't occur (humidity hopefully wouldn't get trapped inside).

I have finally found a great way to store and display my cheap toys! I bought these storage cases, which are the perfect size, are heavy duty, and are see-through:

www.ebay.com/itm/10-Compartment-Portable-Jewelry-Earring-Bead-Organizer-Container-Storage-Case/232558715669?ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT&_trksid=p2060353.m1438.l2649

There are a few small issues - they are not cheap, they come from China (so they take a while to be delivered), and one of them arrived broken so I have to wait even longer for them to ship a replacement.

But it's worth it. Here's an example of one of my sets in a case:



I only have a few sets, so these work perfectly for storage and display purposes.

I liked Jackson's use of the WWE dumpsters to display the Series 2 Cheap Toys:





They fit the theme of GPK so bought a couple on Amazon.com for $29:



I noticed later, there is someone on Ebay that does them custom painted which is pretty cool:
