AFA Boxes: Does it open?

1. Do the boxes inside flop around inside the case, or are they clamped in somehow? Do they build a little frame around them? I hope they don't use tape or anything retarded like that.

2. Do they have some kind of airhole to breathe? Are they vacuum sealed? As the temperature changes in your house don't they run the risk of getting that condensationy-greenhouse moisture on the inside?

And yes, it's open now. :-)

I echo juise's statement. As a big anti-MISB collector myself, you are my new hero.

1.) Yes, they have a frame around them to keep them in place.

2.) Yes, they have a space in the back to breathe. They are sealed all the way around except where the back side of the acrylic meets the base. I have owned AFA figures for years and have never had a problem with them fogging up, nor have I ever heard of that happening before.
