1/6 Hot Toys - MMS357 - Avengers: AoU - Scarlet Witch (New Avengers Ver.) Figure

[Jaymas]

It's so empty I can't wait to fill it up!!

Cool! Besides Scarlet Witch what do you plan to fill it with?

As for dusting, I just have traditional shelves which fit my office really well so I am doomed to always need to dust. Speaking of which I was thinking of getting a few cans of compressed air to help dust, like the kind used to get those hard to reach areas like on a keyboard. Looking for something that both gets into the crevasses like on a lot of Iron Man's armor or might get dust of the clothes better. Basically for anything where wiping with a rag or duster doesn't work well. Anyone else try this? Any concerns or problems with using compressed air to dust your figures?

As a sidenote though: I didn't realise it's not sealed/close enough at the corners to be almost-closed off. Has anyone had any issues with dust on figures? =/ That's kinda while I wanted a display cabinet, to avoid dusting, so it would suck to find out I still need to dust

I try to dust once a month. There are a few members here that have put something in the spaces to keep the dust out though

Mhm, I use an air filter, takes everything out of the room, but I still have to dust occasionally, but it's always light when I do

I've been thinking about one of those, especially as I now have some rare statues. Which one did you get?

This one https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B00JJ7GBI0/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o05_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Amazon doesn't stock it but you might be able to get it elsewhere, the reason I bought this is it had good reviews and around that price point you get really effective ones(compared to cheaper ones)

Nice size too!

The filters last a long time too, a few months and it creates a good vacuum in any room so the dust gets sucked in even from across the room, downside it can be noisy on the top setting but I don't mind that, it actually helps me sleep
It's also got a built in Ioniser which is really great for removing dust

Well I'd be leaving it on while I'm in work, and then probably drop the level down while I'm in the room. I believe most are pretty noisy, but it's a small price to pay IMO.

Not directly NA Wanda related, but seeing as the discussion was on here: I finally got my detolf today! It's all up and ready for NA Wanda to arrive!

Looks great, congrats! As Jaymas said, other than with Quicksilver and various Scarlet Witch figures (:lol), what else do you plan to fill it up with?

As far as dusting, like DA said, usually once a month should be fine. As also mentioned, some members insert strips into the voids to seal it up a bit more, but even then, they said it still requires dusting once in awhile, being that dust always finds a way in.

I don't have any strips on mine and I just dust mine once a month at the minimum. I simply clean all the glass and take all the figures out and spray them with those dust-off air containers.

Yeah we can't all be kiwi's

My birthday is on 7-20....so hopefully Sideshow will be shipping this out by then.

Add Molding Tape to the inside of the edge (not the door itself), so that the door closes fairly snug against it, but doesn't impede the door. The link below will give you an idea of what I'm talking about. It's good for outdoor use, so it's pretty good about keeping the majority of the dust out. It comes in several thicknesses, and should be found in any larger-scale hardware store. The stuff I use is about 1/4" thick.

Thanks! I've got CW Cap, Bucky, and Hawkeye on pre order at the moment And I also currently have TWS Bucky to put in there with the twins too!

Awesome, I'll look into that. Thank you!

And thanks to everyone else who commented on the dust thing! Tbh if I'd realised it had gaps I wouldn't have got it! But too late now!

Sounds like a great start! Pretty soon, you'll be needing another detolf.

Why? They have sent out two week notices on this, cap, and mk45. Plus prime. The first three all came over at the same time.

 

[CollectorGuy]

I didn't get any 2 week notice for this
