@IORI_17:
Am I the only one whose figures suffer hot? I can feel them more "soft" and bendable, my Yoko has bent a lot (she was unstable from the beginning, the last Sega PM figure) and the GLS Moby Dick's mainmasts are totally leaning in front. I think even Kid has bent a bit behind, but he's ok at the moment.
I tried putting Moby Dick in fridge for a while, the result was good but after a bit the trees returned back as they were. :/
Direct sunlight can still do a lot of damage even if your room is fairly cool, make sure your figures spend little time as possible in direct sun.
I've noticed a decline in some of my really cheap figures :/ My grandpa doesn't keep the house very cool, and its warm enough to affect them. A few little things are warped, though it's not extremely bad. Nothing that really matters is affected, hopefully it stays that way… The house does not need to be kept at 82 during Texas summers =____= But he swears he's cold.
Honestly if you don't have a way to control the climate in your room/home I don't know if there's much prevention you can take if your room gets too warm except getting curtains that block out most of the lights and running enough fans in your room that there's enough air circulating around to keep it a few degrees cooler. Though like it was mentioned before I don't think you live in an area that gets scorching hot very frequently, so if you take care to get the sun out of your room you're figures will probably be fine.
I thought that someone who lived in the tropics chimed in one time how they were preventing some of their figures from warping, but I don't think they come on here anymore.

People, long time no see!
It's been a little more than 1 year since last time I went here or updated the OP wikia merchandising section… Well I was quite busy with other stuff.
But I've been in Japan for vacation until last Tuesday and I came back with quite a big loot! See for yourself:

I'm mostly priding myself of being able to eventually get my hands on a Garp Ver. 0!!! I see that most members here are receiving their Maximum POP Franky, mine should arrive soon as well. It so nice to be a One Piece fan! :D
Nice haul!!!! It's also good to see you again, it's been too long :O Glad you enjoyed your trip to Japan~
I received my Smoker FAZ from Amiami today… The sculpt is actually pretty good and I could'nt even complain about all the random paint marks if his hair didn't look like someone had scratched it on brick... That's the most pitiful hair paint job I've ever seen..
