I don't play with my figures, but I open and display them. Once I open them, I put whatever head and hands on the figures I like and put them on my shelf. Now what? What do you do with the extra set of hands and heads?
I personally put them in a penny sleeve (little plastic protective case for sports cards) and them label them to what figure they belong to and into a big box they go. Anyone have a better idea?

Bag em.
Unfortunately every accessory I own lose is in two gallon size ziplock bags all together. At least the extra heads are pretty easy to determine which figure they belong to.

Bag em, or in my case, put them in a plastic container because I heard there's something in the baggie plastic that is harmful to the toy plastic over a long period of time.

 I have most of my stuff away in acid free bags to not eventually start melting the paint. |

Big zip lock bags. Labeling seems like a lot of extra work to me.

Big zip lock bags. Labeling seems like a lot of extra work to me. This is the way. I occasionally want to swap hands or need some for a custom. Either the style/flesh tone is pretty specific (gloves, hot dog Hogan skintone) and they stick out like a sore thumb or they're super common and I have a million medium tone gripping hand. Either way, never had an issue tossing them in a gallon bag and digging out what I need down the line. |

I have them all in a small bin, but I want to get some of those organizers from Home Depot. It would keep things more neater and of course organized.

I buy the little resealable bags from Michaels they sell in the jewelry section and just label what's in the bags. Then I'll round up a few from a full set of elites and just bundle those all together in a bigger bag for easy storage in case I ever want to change heads/hands.

I would assume most of the extra sets of hands that are tossed aside or stored in Ziploc bags are the "prop-holding" pairs. The ones that are molded to hold an accessory.
Those seem to be the ugliest display option these days.

I have hundreds of figures on display (not just WWE) so they just get plopped in front of the figure they came with. I'm very OCD about having original accessories and don't want to have to figure out years later which Rock hands go with which Rock. Plus, I can easily switch things up every now and then qith my display options, without having to go through bins full of hundreds of little zip lock bags.

Then I'll round up a few from a full set of elites and just bundle those all together in a bigger bag for easy storage in case I ever want to change heads/hands. This is what I do. I label the outside of the bag with masking tape and write the figure, series and/or wave down so that I won't lose what figure those parts are for. Also for if I ever want to sell something I'll have those pieces complete and ready to go. |

To many hands. To many tones. What do i do about the heads and hands? I sit up most of the night....eyelids twitching as my o.c.d tells me they need to be displayed with the figures....then my brain tells me it will look silly. I hate hands. I really....hate hands. Dont know who thought this was a good idea....im not pointing the finger. Just hate buying a hogan and getting palmed off with 6 extra hands. Hard to grasp.
