Unfortunate Event...

Posted by Yangth 

I was being careless and left Pixel in my backpack for about a week before finding her once again.

Unfortunately, I broke one of her ribbons. I was pretty depressed about that. She wasn't too thrilled either...

After a quick fix with some tacky glue, she's as good as new! However, she still isn't forgiving me.

I need some advice for traveling with my figures. What do you all carry your nendos/figmas in?

    That's awful... TT I'm glad you were able to make repairs though.

    For carrying her, or any Nendo, around, a compartment where the figure won't be squished or shake around is the best thing. I've heard of several people using pill boxes for all the small nendo pieces. I, on the other hand, carry them in their original boxes. XD Especially for Melissa Seraphy, it's the only place I can guarantee myself that her delicate hair swirls won't snap off.

    Hmm broken figures are always unfortunate -.- but being able to fix them always feels good too lol. One thing I've used to keep such figures safe during transport is a Gundam box(one of the real small type) then just fit a couple napkins in there for more protection from being tossed around. Another something I used was one of those capsules that the Lego Bionicals came in O_O . Both these ideas worked perfectly :P

    You should consider yourself lucky, I broke 2 of my figures by accident and even super glue didn't save them.

    I always wrap nendoroids or dolls in a soft light coloured or white towel before putting into my bag. But it doesn't always prevent damage unfortunately ^^; but it helps to a certain extent.

      Good idea! I only travel with one or two nendos at a time though, but once my collection gets bigger, I'll definitely look into this!
