Wuthering Waves collectors now have to think about two very different kinds of figures, each with its own packaging quirks and fragility concerns.
Good Smile's Nendoroid Jinhsi and Nendoroid Changli sit at one end, small and accessory-heavy, while FuRyu's F:NEX Phoebe sits at the other, a full 26-centimeter scale statue with a much higher price tag, a much larger footprint, and considerably more exposed detail.
Treating both formats the same way is the fastest way to either underprotect a fragile accessory or overpay for protection a smaller figure does not need, so matching the case to the figure matters more here than with a single-format collection.
Here is how to think about display and protection across both tiers of this growing franchise, so neither one ends up damaged while waiting for a case that actually fits.
A Nendoroid's main vulnerabilities are its flimsy window box and small loose accessories, like Jinhsi's alternate horn parts or Changli's perched pigeon piece.
A scale figure like Phoebe has the opposite problem: no fragile outer box to worry about long-term, but far more exposed painted detail and a larger footprint that needs real shelf clearance, along with small base accessories that are easy to knock loose if the display is crowded.
Nendoroid packaging is not built for long-term storage, with window cutouts that let dust in and thin cardboard corners that crush easily if anything heavier sits nearby.
An EVORETRO Protective Case for Nendoroid sized to the standard Good Smile packaging solves this directly, keeping both Jinhsi and Changli's boxes intact without needing a custom fit.
Phoebe's sculpted daisies, golden trim, and hair bows are all exposed once the figure is out of its box, which makes dust buildup a real concern over time.
An EVORETRO Acrylic Modular Case sized for 26-centimeter figures keeps the full base and sculpt visible while sealing out dust and reducing fading from ambient light exposure.
Small loose parts, like Jinhsi's effect sheet or Changli's extra face plate, are easy to misplace once a figure is unboxed and displayed.
Keeping these pieces stored with the figure rather than set aside separately avoids the common problem of losing an accessory within the first few weeks of ownership, which is one of the more common regrets collectors report after unboxing a new figure.
Direct sunlight fades painted PVC faster than almost any other factor, which matters for a bright, detailed figure like Phoebe sitting near a window.
Humidity swings can also warp a Nendoroid's softer plastic parts over time, which is part of why sealed storage matters even for figures that stay in their box most of the year.
With a Nendoroid line and a scale figure line both now active, Wuthering Waves is likely to keep adding figures in both formats as the game's roster expands.
Setting up a flexible display system now, rather than a one-off case for a single figure, makes it easier to add the next Resonator without rebuilding the whole shelf.
A soft brush works better than a cloth for clearing dust off exposed painted detail, since direct wiping can leave faint scratch marks on PVC over repeated cleanings.
For anything kept in a sealed case, a quick wipe of the acrylic panel itself is usually all the maintenance needed, while boxed Nendoroids are worth checking periodically for any humidity-related warping in their softer accessory parts.
Once a shelf holds both a Nendoroid pair and a 200-plus dollar scale figure, the combined value is often higher than collectors realize until they total it up.
Keeping photos and receipts for each piece, alongside proper display protection, makes any insurance claim or resale conversation much easier down the line than trying to reconstruct the collection's value from memory.
No, their Nendoroid boxes need a fitted acid-free protector rather than a larger acrylic case.
Dust buildup and fading from direct sunlight on its exposed painted detail.
Not well; a Nendoroid-specific protector and a modular scale-figure case serve different needs.
No, keeping them with the figure avoids losing small parts over time.
A mixed Wuthering Waves shelf holds up a lot better when each format gets protection built for its actual size and fragility. An EVORETRO Protective Case for Nendoroid is the right call for Jinhsi and Changli, with a modular case ready for Phoebe once she arrives.
