How do you guys display "jigglers"?

Jigglers are best displayed in a tight low v-cut angora sweater.

There's a guy down the street that displayed his jiggler and now he's in the county lock up.

Whatever you do, don't put them on plastic stands or risers.  They will melt into the plastic.

I used some of those plastic, "beanie baby" type display boxes and some of the rubber stuff melted into them.

I don't understand why that would happen.

Chemistry.

Well it's more advanced than first year university chemistry because I don't get it.

Some sort of reaction that can take place between the rubber and the plastic, the plastic can actually "melt" into the rubber (or is it vice versa?). You used to see that sometimes with Major Matt Mason & Colorforms Outer Space Men figures who had been stored too long wearing their helmets. But I think it takes awhile...I have my Rubber Uglies on acrylic stairstep-type display shelves and a few folks pointed ou the possible reaction between the rubber & acrylic. It must take awhile though, as I've had them on the acrylic shelves for several years and have had no issues...but since I have some very rare figures I don't wanna take chances and am looking for alternate ways to display them. I am toying with the idea of wax paper, glass sheeting, or some other material to put on the shelves to provide a barrier between the rubber uglies & the acrylic, as the shelves were fairly expensive & I bought them specifically for displaying my collection so I'd like to still be able to utilize them somehow.

Maybe some felt?

Plastics don't really want to be all that flexible, left to their own devices, so plasticizers are added to them to soften them up. the problem is that those chemicals don't really want to stay there, hence the stickiness that sometimes develops on older soft vinyl toys (also why older comic-book bags stick together in the box). The plasticizers in jigglers, fishing worms, etc. will eat into certain plastics in short order, particularly polystyrene. Acrylic's fairly resistant, but metal or glass or your best choices. NEVER jumble rubber and harder plastics together in a box! in some cases, toys have been made with mixes of plastics that with eat themselves– Ask a Micronauts fan about that sometime. Even some jigglers can eat other ones– try not to let them touch each other, if you can. Generally not an issue with, say, a box of toys from the same original box, but it never hurts to be overcautious. As with pretty much everything, heat and light are their enemies, so don't store them in the attic or near a window.

Sounds like a "Philadelphia Experiment" reaction.
