I like to display mine on my wall in my bedroom for everyone to see. I have a question though... I have windows in my room, and although sun doesn't shine directly on any of the figures, will it still begin to fade their boxes (I keep them all MOC)? Sadly, I'm a 22 year old college student who still lives with his mother, so my bedroom is really the only place I can put them. Anyone have any suggestions on what to do with this?

I don't keep my figures MOC anymore but at my parents house I had a ton of MOCs hanging on the wall. I did have some slight fading to figures in the direct light but I got a couple of curtains and took care of the problem. For the record though, it takes a pretty decent amount of time/sunlight to fade the cards. Not sure how the Mattel backs are though because they seem to be pretty flimsy so I am not sure how well they hold color or whatever. I actually used to hang my figures around the top of my walls so most of them were above my windows anyway.
They also make plastic cases for the figures that have UV protection but not sure if you want to spend the money to do that. Blinds would be cheaper.

have a 5 shelf bookcase. I keep Legends on the top, Entrance Greats and Basic legends(what I consider legends) on the second shelf, My ECW Roster on the middle shelf, My Smackdown Roster on the second to bottom shelf, and My RAW Roster on the bottom shelf. I put my Elites on my dresser. The only ones I display with stands are Legends, Entrance Greats and Elites.

I have my guys loose and on their display stands with their name tags in.
Right now I have them standing on a shelf in single file rows of 4.
I have 45 guys right now, so it's 11 rows of 4, and then Hornswoggle on the end.

I have blinds in my room. I figured if the sun doesn't shine directly on them it would be fine but I also wasn't sure if secondary light from the sun would damage them. I haven't noticed any damage to the figures I have thus far but than again, it's kind of hard to tell when you see the figures every single day.
