The Momonga blind box figures have really taken off. A sealed box means you don’t know which exact character you unboxed. Which has its charms as you can spruce up random spots in your house with fun new decor. These series have limited and secret edition characters that keep the urge to collect going as you attempt to get the whole set.
If you are interested in starting your own collection the first step is picking a series which you think the characters are fun. You should focus on one collection at a time as buying random other releases doesn’t help you get the collection you want or have an organized display at the end. You should also set a limit on how much you are willing to spend on the collection as you don’t want to go broke over a new hobby.
You want to make sure your collection is authentic. The official Momonga boxes usually have branding printing and manufacturing info and seals as high quality. Look for those traits. You want to steer clear of cheaply priced boxes as those are most likely going to be fakes since the price and quality of the product will be so different. The fakes will usually have a worse paint quality and details.
Once you have amassed a collection you will most likely have extra duplicates. Don’t view these as a let down since you can have fun with extra figures and paint them different colors or send them to other collectors you know. You will receive different figures to help you complete your collections a lot more quickly than if you bought several blind boxes.
Keeping packaging is a smart move. Having the box the bun and the cards adds authenticity and helps keep the value of your trade or resale. Having good packaging helps keep the figures along with the packaging from being ruined.
Keeping a display up is just as fun as the normal collecting process. Acrylic display cases keep your figures free from dust and in full sight. Float your collection with some floating shelves! Need a workspace display? Desktop Organizers! Need something a bit more for a big collection? Look into some LED display cabinets!
The most important thing is to enjoy collecting the figures. Every collection shows off a part of the owner’s personality and interests so no need to be glued to the screen for every drop. Collect in a way that is smart and meaningful and you’ll be proud about the collection!
