I bag the ones I'm not displaying the figure with in small plastic bags, then store them in a couple GI Joe footlockers that are from the 90's GI Joe Hall of Fame 12 inch line. I store all my Gridiron and Valaverse weapons and blast effects in the tray of the footlockers.
😂in the beginning i started with deluxe tackle box, my collection grew then moved to a shoe box, finally gi joe themed ammo case, i gave up on separating weapons. Digging is part of the fun when in hobby mode.
I’ve got some plastic containers with customizable sections for most of my extra accessories. Most of my figs are stored (and I circulate my displays) so the ones in storage have their accessories with them in most cases.
I've got a mini plastic tote(Rubbermaid) with all of my unused accessories for each figure(separately bagged in mini zip bags-from the jewelry/ bead aisle). Each zip bag has the accessories for every loose figure in my collection. I also do this for my Valaverse collection. The zip bags are the best in my opinion. You can even label them if you'd like. I don't but remember what goes with who.
Carry what they can the rest go into baggies labeled with who it’s for. Then into one of the amo crates that come the box till it’s full then fill the next one. Then in a drawer. I was keeping them in the original box but those go to the attic and may never be seen again. lol
I load the figures with as many of the accessories as they can comfortably hold (or what looks appropriate for the display). The rest of the accessories stay in the boxes the figures came in. Classified boxes are about the only regular retail product boxes I still save. That said, if I were to ditch all of the boxes, I'd probably get one of those compartmentalized cases you showed in this video. I'd need to have a way to keep them sorted according to the figure they came with.
I use Sterlite Tupperware containers that lock shut and can stack on top of one another. They’re great and they sell em at my local dollar general for $11 each.
Ross is a good source for containers like the one you showed, and I've gotten the ones with clear drawers there as well. Check both the Hardware and Stationery aisles. They usually rotate a good selection every few weeks at my local store
In box my man, for true crazy old school collectors, look up up a dental cabinet. You will pay for a nice one but these are beautiful wooden cabinets that store EVERYTHING!. And you will use it for EVERYTHING. Yo Freaking Joe!
Lots of bags, but what I do is I store based on what are, anything with a blade in a bag, small handguns, rifles, shotguns, belts, jackets, vest and so on and so forth.
I started using a case sort of like that last one you showed. It’s perfect for separating good guy accessories and bad guy accessories. Heads, guns etc. It’s perfect!
I have one of those little drawers that you usually use to store screws, nails, etc. I separate them by blast effects, rifles, hand guns, knives, extra hands, head sculpts, assorted accessories...and by brand like Classified, Valaverse, Marvel Legends, etc.
I use Plano tackle boxes bought at Wal-Mart. They’re about $5 each and like yours you can adjust sizes. I’m probably at about 30 of them between all the different lines I collect but each figures accessories are stored by themselves. I use the bottom shelf of my bookcases to store these boxes since I don’t like displaying figures that low.
I use plastic bins kind of like you got. I kit bash so I have a lot of extra parts. Anything with small compartments to seperate things. I have all the extra female hands seperated by color. Black, white, flesh tones and other. Same with the male hands. Then I have heads seperated too. Males by regular heads, helmeted/helmets, masked/other head accessories. Female heads by hair color. Then I have longs guns seperated from pistols etc. It makes finding things so much easier.
I had what you got and eventually I out grew that so I got a big tackle box with drawers a different sections and I keep everything in there and everything is separate in there own section like extra hands , hair pieces, joe wepons , cobra wepons, backpacks, ninja wepons , blast effects……my old one is for Star Wars wepons now
The larger footlockers (smaller ones get broken down). I split up all my accessories by what they are. Heads for one (mostly Marvel Legends), hands in another, ninja-style weapons in a third, blast effects where possible (mostly Transformers), guns and stuff in the last. Then they all go in the long box that held the five pack of earth mode Transformers that came out a few months ago.
I use multiple things. For the majority of the spare guns I use the weapons stands that I got from a bunch of those fortnight arcade machines. works pretty well, i just double-sided taped them to a cardboard background and it works pretty well. The bigger things like backpacks go into a christmas cookie tin I happen to have that works well for that. For the extra heads and hands and figures I use a Gelatinus Cube from the Golden Collection of DnD. Its got clearish sides so you can see all the heads and hands and even the figures getting consumed. The tackle boxes are all being used by Lego stuff lol
I've sorted my 3.75" GI Joe and Cobra figures into plastic bags by year. Or combined years if they were incomplete which were 83-87. 88 and 89 are the most complete years with some 90. The weapons and other stuff I put together in bags. I did the same some vehicles after disassembling them. I was hesitant to put too much force on the tabs because they might break. As for Classified, I just use the boxes the figures came in since I don't have all the figures nor am I getting every single one.
Various sizes of tackle boxes. Deeper ones for weapons, heads, body parts etc. shallow ones for the hands and smaller accessories. Still cannot find some things because so much to dig through.
I bag and tag. I put them in individual baggies separated by the figure they came with. I keep them in the bag with the figure I'm not displaying. And the bag of the accessories are labeled with the character name they came with, if I display it.
I prefer to keep my figures and their accessories in a plastic zipper bag. I should label them all at some point but I haven't gotten around to it. Anything that they're not being displayed with can stay in the plastic bag. It's really easy to get the figure I want out of the bins since plastic bags keep stuff from getting caught.

Yup, that's what I use! Good old tackle boxes. From home Depot. Perfect for storage. Even put extra heads in there.
Yep I was separating by Joe and Cobra

I’m sorta doing that same format
A plastic toolbox for all the smaller accessories and a plastic 3 drawer cabinet thing for figure and vehicle fodder.
Ziploc bags placed in the the footlocker box and back inside the figure box. Thats why they gave us the footlockers.

I’m doing in that manner as well for separating the pieces 😎
I have craft tote, lots of small spaces, sorted be weapons, hands, knives, pistols, blast effects.

Zip snack baggies, then into either a shoebox sized bin, or in the bin the extras live in, in the case of troop builders.

I use ziplock bags then put the smaller bags into a gallon size ziplock bag then repeat as necessary
I bag and tag.
I put them in individual baggies separated by the figure they came with. I keep them in the bag with the figure I'm not displaying. And the bag of the accessories are labeled with the character name they came with, if I display it.
My accessories are stored in various pencil boxes.

Ones that will not fit on figs use sports cards team bags with sticked label if need bigger bags sandwich zip lock bags all labeled in shoe box
Ziploc bags labled with each figs name then stored in a large plastic container.
3d printed crates so the gear can get stored and they are accurate scale for my joes
Gijoes are also made in china...
As is most everything 😂
In the trash can. I think I'm done with this community/ hobby lmfao
