We have a refrigerated display case for wraps and salads at my movie theatre. For the past couple months, I've left comic books in there as a backdrop- nothing worth much, mostly 90s X-Men and Thor. But now I'm considering putting some TFs in there on display. How much damage might occur to a typical movie-type TF? I'm not planning on putting any metal, die-cast ones in there, but about 6-10 toys.
Not sure, but I imagine the plastic might eventually become somewhat brittle. Then again, ice cube trays seem to last quite a while.
none. Our walmart stores its toys out in the garden center in the winter. They make a closed in area with plywood and what not, but its still really cold temperatures. The cold shouldn't hurt it at all.
Do TFs survive being shipped in the winter? Just let them warm up before you transform them and they should be fine.
Just make sure you give them time to warm up. Short of freezing them solid in a block of ice, cold won't hurt.
That shouldn't be too much of a problem at all. I live up north and transforming/storing these guys in the cold doesn't do any harm at all.
My thoughts were less about the cold than the moisture of a refrigerated unit. I have a couple toys I think I'll try at first, and go from there.
I once froze G1 Optimus when I was a little kid. The evil decepticons had frozen him in a solid block of Ice! It looked wicked cool but someone told me it might rust or damage him so I was afraid to freeze any toy again. Luckily nothin happened to good ol' OP.
As far as the temperature goes, I don't think so but, the transfer between the 2 (hot and cold) over time might cause condensation to form which would rust pins, screws etc.
i'm showing this thread to the wife when i get home... lol - xray................ check - blacklight......... check - fridge display.... check you guys are awesome.
I thought inside the fridge was rather dry. My leftover sandwich left in the fridge unwrapped told me so. And yeah, please show us pics!
Well, the metal parts may tarnish or rust over time since there is moisture there. But cool (no pun intended) idea nonetheless.
