Bag? And header

If a toy came to me with a bag and a header I probably still have both.

I came to the hobby through a lifelong love of tokusatsus, so when I first started collecting sofubi in earnest, like many collectors before and since, the first maker that really caught my dollar was M1Go. As just about all of their stuff came in a bag printed with pleasing toy-specific red text I got in the habit early on of rolling the header in the bag and saving both. It's gotten to the point where I can often tell what maker a loose bag came from: Bear Model bags are crinkly with a hard crease at the edges; Marmit VP bags are wrinkly and too big for their britches, etc.

How methodical I am with labeling and organizing these treasures goes in phases, but as a general habit I've just kept the roll and save method going for all my spoils. On the rare occasions that I've resold something the buyers have tended to appreciate the toys being "complete," and I have to admit that I enjoy being able to go back and match the toys to their former tombs.

When picking up stuff at this point I really don't mind if it comes loose - the bags aren't that important to me and I certainly don't need 30 of the same header for my own purposes - but it's always a little nicer if a toy comes with. It's interesting to me to find evidence of how the owner before me kept track of packaging - post-it, torn piece of paper, light pencil inside the header and so on, it's all good.

Jesus, am I still typing?
