Sup everyone. I'm fairly new to figure collecting, only having begun last summer. Over that time I have come into possession of two figures from Medicom's Real Action Heroes line: Annie Leonhardt and Rei Q.
Somethings been in my mind though. What's the best way, short of keeping them boxed, of taking care of and maintaining these figures? I specifically want to know if you guys have any tips for maintaining their clothes. I prefer to take my figures oUT of their boxes and pose them, but I'm afraid that poses where the arms (with Rei and Annie) or the legs (with Rei) bend will result in the material begetting damaged, such as colour wearing off, the fabric tearing, or it just getting irreversibly wrinkled.

i dont think there is a way around this unfortunately
the only conceivable solution would be to buy 2 each one being the mint and the other being the poseable display figure
i noticed my cammys right arm joint becoming loose only a few weeks after having her ... and after only a few poses

There are just some absolutes and inevitabilities in toy collecting that you need to accept. Fabric outfits fray, diecast joints weaken, white paint yellows, direct sunlight damages everything, rubber cracks, and glues lose adhesive quality- those are the big ones. The best way to preserve a figure with cloth materials is to just set it and forget it in a vanilla pose, not futzing with it ever. That's really the only way to get around the inevitability of it all, or at least to impede the process as much as possible. The cloth ones are not really designed for pose-aholics or people that play around constantly, because rather than being just thick globs of painted extruded thermoplastic with high levels of material tolerance, they're just being held together with threads barely thicker than your own hair and done with a level of quality control that reflects a mass produced product.
tl;dr: there will always be a direct proportion of product damage to product use with cloth materials.

Man coming from doll collecting what are you guys doing with your clothed figures that is fucking them up so badly? I've had dolls in outfits displayed for years and the clothing is just fine. Are doll clothes just inherently tougher or what?

I think it's mostly due to pleather materials not aging well, which is kind of a concern I have with my Sailor Moon Pullips. It is also a material prone to stress cracks and peeling.

strip her and post lwed pics op dont be a faggot
I don't know what your conditions are OP, but I would highly recommend some sort of closed case compared to open display. It'll keep dust and such off the fabric with could get hard to clean up a long while. Just my two cents as a fellow with several RAH's. Do what you can to protect your ladies!

Not OP, but aren't the clothes on these not meant to be removed? Isn't it bad for the clothes when they are taken off, like stressing specific areas of the clothing?
