Seriously though those with open shelves while they look great, are you concerned about dust settling into the vinyl?

i've always wondered the same thing. my OCD doesn't like dust (neither does my laziness).

I dust every weekend, I'm not really concerned. Not only do I gently brush them with soft cloth, I use canned air and blast all the little nooks. Doesn't look like there's any settled dust to me.

Well assuming not everyone is OCD like you, me, and others haha. I especially notice it on matte vinyl when not dusted for a while, also noticed it in a few "used" toys I have bought from others, usually 2005 figures.

just reading out this makes me feel lazy. :P
I do like the idea of using canned air.

When my collection was a lot smaller, dusting was cool--but after how my collection grew over the last year, I just don't have the time/patience anymore. And when I got my set-up just right, I hated having to take it all down just a week or so later. It never turned out the same.

Yea, I use canned air to do my quick dusting.
But that really doesn't count as dusting as you're just spreading it somewhere else.
