Does any one know what would be a good case ( like starcases) for the remco 3 3/4 figures?

I plan on starting my monster collection with these but want something to protect the cards.

I believe that they fit into the vintage Star Wars cardback-size star case.

I have the same problem storing 3 3/4 action figures. There is a major resurgance in this size with the G.I. Joe line, DC, Marvel, Star Wars and Star Trek. With that in mind, I have to think that someone sometime soon will release storage cases to accomodate collectors. Im really suprised they havent yet. I dont know if your looking for "storage" cases or "display" cases..there is a place called collectorcases.com I believe (try googling that) but all the cases are more for displaying and made to be hung from walls. Which is nice, but not if you just need plain old storage cases like I did.

My solution? I went to sports-authority and wal-mart and bought small plastic tackle boxes that came with mini partitions and it seems to work pretty well. Unless you have a ton of Remco figures this might be perfect. I actually bought the tackle boxes, fit them in perfectly then bought the clear plastic 3 tier drawers at wal-mart and fit the tackle boxes in there. Marked the boxes for what they contain...and bam, a nice clean way to store stuff that isnt on display at the moment.

Being a Joe collector along with monsters, plus some Star Wars, Im well into the hundreds with figures and accesories, so far no complaints. Everything is kept in a dry area away from sunlight and climate controlled. Its working well, if you need any other help just ask!

Ack! Geez I jumped too soon....didnt realize they were still carded!! If you go on eBay and look for GI Joe protective cases, or something along those lines there are TONS of sellers offering clear plastic cases, usually in boxes of 10 that are good for encasing the entire card of most 3 3/4 figures......disregard my last post!

Thanks for the tip Blacklagoon.  Good idea for storing loose figure or smaller collectibles waiting to be displayed.  David

Actually, they don't quite fit. The Remco cards are actually smaller and while you can kind of center them so they fit "ok" there is the chance of them getting off-center which can damage the cards. My cards are worn so it doesn't bother me but I can definitely see where it would be worrisome for mint MOC collectors...
