How to Safely Store Your Erza Scarlet Figure for Display

That moment you unbox her… the Titania of Fairy Tail, Erza Scarlet, in all her glory. It’s a proper 'wow' moment for any fan. But after the unboxing, the real challenge begins: how do you keep her looking perfect? Figuring out how to safely store your Erza Scarlet figure for display is crucial to protect your investment and keep that magic alive. ✨ Let's dive into how to do it right.

Why Proper Figure Storage is a Big Deal

Leaving a high-quality figure like Erza exposed is a recipe for heartbreak. The biggest enemies are dust, direct sunlight, and accidental bumps. Over time, UV rays from the sun can fade the vibrant colours of her armour, and a layer of dust can make even the most detailed sculpt look dull. Protecting your investment means you get to enjoy its pristine condition for years, preserving its value and visual impact. It's the same principle for all premium anime and gaming collectables.

Finding the Perfect Display Environment

The ideal home for Erza is inside a dedicated display case. This is the single best step you can take to keep her safe.

Choosing a Case 🛡️

Look for an acrylic or glass cabinet. A sealed case offers the best protection against dust, while something like an IKEA Detolf is a popular, budget-friendly option for South African collectors. Ensure the case is large enough to not only fit the figure but also give her some breathing room, preventing any part of her armour or weapon from pressing against the sides.

Location, Location, Location

Where you place the case is just as important as the case itself.

• Avoid Direct Sunlight: Keep the display away from windows. UV radiation is the number one cause of colour fading on PVC and ABS plastic figures.
• Stable Temperature: Avoid placing the display near heaters, air-conditioners, or in a damp room. Extreme temperature fluctuations can cause the plastic to become brittle or even warp over time.

You can even enhance the look with other display accessories like risers or custom backdrops to make your setup truly unique.

Mastering Maintenance and Cleaning

Even inside a case, a little maintenance goes a long way. A gentle dusting every few months is usually all that’s needed to keep your Erza figure looking sharp. This simple routine is key to safely storing your Erza Scarlet figure for the long term. If you need to handle the figure, make sure your hands are clean and dry to avoid transferring oils to the paint.

Posing and Lighting for a Legendary Display 💡

A great display is more than just storage; it’s about presentation. Experiment with dynamic poses that capture Erza’s powerful personality. Consider adding some battery-powered LED strips inside your cabinet to illuminate the figure. A well-lit display not only looks incredible but also lets you appreciate all the fine details the sculptors worked so hard on.

Building a scene around her with other figures can create an amazing diorama. If you're looking to expand your own guild, you can find plenty of great figures under R2000 to start or grow your collection.
