My niece laughs at me at Christmas... carefully unpack stuff then pack it back again - get the pleasure of unpacking over again that way - bit like it with my collection!!

Haha I really want a shrinkwrap machine to seal then immediately open again my items just because I enjoy it so much. Haha yeah my neice is the same, shall I play with this toy? No lets play with the box it came in.

I don't use a heater just so let you guys know
I've heard some people said that discoloration or cracking with figures can occur in different temperatues. And I will unpack the Conner Hunter except for the Freedom Edition and Ubiworkshop Edition

Hi Xmo, which statues you talking about? I'm no pro but I collect statues as well and have heard that direct sunlight will cause discolouration in time. It's always better to maintain the temperature in the room that the statues are. Drastic quick changes can cause cracks on polystone statues.

I'll try to look for some links on a statue forum that I'm in about caring for statues for more info on these.

Oh and hell yea to the rest! I open all figures as well, including CEs. Nothing is sealed. Of course, some sadly go back into the box for now since I'm running out of space to display them

The regular Assassins Creed figurines like the white edition, black, altair from LE, etc I dont have those rare ones like the polystone statues

Sorry for the late reply.. but here's all that I can find about PVC statues..

This is also why PVC tends to get a bit crappy and brittle after a long time. Oh yeah these plasticisers are quite toxic too. And if you have a fire at home, dump your figurines at them to extinguish it, since the chlorine produced retards the flame. Btw, some plasticisers are thought to reduce the quality of MAN SPERM.

Haha kidding.. On a serious note.. I havn't seen anything about PVC statues getting damaged in any way during cold temperatures. Heat, at about 60 degrees celsius, however can soften it causing it to bend.. Direct sunlight is also a no-no.

Great info! I don't know putting the figures in the freezer for 20 minutes every couple months, but will do atleast once a year.
