SmikuSmikuHey MFC!
I need a hand real quick! I recently got a new billy for my collection to store my new Genshin figures but I just had a thought.
Do you think it's okay to store figures near a window like this? I open the window to let air through at night but mostly keep it closed when it is sunny or hot. Do you think it will damage the figures?

I've found that most modern figures don't seem to fade or yellow the way printed media or old merchandise used to though.
Ohhhh that's a fantastic idea actually omfg !! Thank you :)
My window does not slide, it has a flyscreen and is a crank that opens it up. I unfortunately cannot get outside my window without climbing on the roof which I am not doing because I will die lmao
My blinds are UV resistant already and I normally have them down :)
Ooh you're good then. If your blinds are UV resistant you should mostly be fine? You can test it though. Put a piece of kids construction paper on the side of your bookshelf. If it fades you'll want to keep a close eye on your figures.

But I do have privacy? My doubled blind is set up so I can see outside but no one can see inside and we have that all throughout our rental thanks to our lovely Landlord ♡

I'm fortunate enough to have a doubled blind set up where the first blind (if the second blind is up) I can see outside but no one can see inside ♡
This vinyl is meant to be applied on the outside so that YOU have privacy. It's likely your window can be removed if it slides. You just pull the window out, apply the vinyl, and then place it back on the tracks.
the damaged items tend to be on the left hand side of my bookshelf too (which gets more exposed to the sun), so with a smaller bookcase like your billy, there’s less to worry about~ i can’t open my window so i can’t personally account for that factor though. if you do keep the window open often, make sure you dust once in a while! my figures are pretty dusty (because i tend to break something every time i have a go), but if that’s a concern for you a cheap makeup brush works great.
i hope this helps! ^_^
That was really helpful! Thank you!
I'm pretty thankful that my shelf doesn't actually get any direct sunlight, just reflected light :)
And I normally dust once a week because of hayfever lol :)

That's a super good idea! I didn't think of that tbh haha

Yeah they are out of direct sunlight as my top blind is a UV resistant dark blind and no light hits them unless I open it up and it's normally closed all the time even when my window is open haha!
Thanks so much ♡
