I am cleaning my entire apartment today and something I've always found painful is dusting and cleaning on the areas I have my amiibos placed. I have a ton of amiibo I've collected, so taking each one off and putting them back where they go takes a long time, and I noticed a lot of dust builds up around them. The stand that I have them on is glass. I think that's one of the problems.

Has anyone else went through this?

Yeah a couple times I've looked at the layer of dust and around them and I'm like "ugh not today", but I ended up putting most of mine in a carrying case to prevent further dusting or sunlight fading. Plus I'm not using them all and I don't need to stare at them, I don't want to become tired of them haha. I only have a couple out at a time.

I put pretty much all the ones I have on display. I notice even the base gets dusty if you let it sit for a long time and the bases are harder to clean because of the figures on them.

I gave up cleaning for today. Did laundry and cleaned some surfaces but I'm not gonna vacuum or clean the bathroom until another day.

I've bought some clear plastic cubes with a non-clear cover from a local bookshop to put my amiibo in so I don't really have that problem. I believe the cubes are meant to store CDs or office stuff in general but they work as pretty nice small showcases for my amiibos.

The only thing that needs dusting are the covers of the cubes and of course the shelf on which I keep them. Cleaning those isn't really a problem for me though.

Can you post a picture of that? I'm curious what those cubes look like.

I've placed the displays close to the edge since the shelf is high up on the wall (in order to make sure my cats won't be able to jump on it and make them fall). They are also high enough to make sure that the sun won't shine directly on them through the windows. I'm not completely sure why I still keep the Shovel Knight amiibo in box since I most likely won't be reselling it at any point but since it works in the box, I don't feel the need to take it out either.

The shelves don't look bad. My problem is, they would take up way too much space in the way I display my amiibo. I put them on the entertainment stand with my TV and Wii U and have them strategically placed in groups to where they match each other (example, Mario characters with Mario).

I've actually ran out of space so I may retire from amiibo collecting for now because I have nearly all of them and there just isn't enough room or reason to get every single one anymore.

I wonder, can you get your amiibos wet? Would they still work?

Generally speaking with electronic devices.. as long as they aren't turned on when they get wet, and that wetness is purely water without any harsh chemicals in it, and are allowed to dry completely before being activated again, they should still work. Even without those criteria they often still work after getting wet. I've never opened up an Amiibo before, but I imagine the circuit board is fairly simple, and is obviously small.
I kind of want to crack one open now just to see.. might grab a used super common one or something, could be fun.
