Question about moving collection

[zombienixon]

I'll be moving out the Saturday after next, and I had some questions about how to move a certain few ponies my collection.  Now, I have almost all of it boxed up already, and cleverly disguised as well.

Foolproof.

(After I got the duct tape off, I found the adhesive stuck where I pressed it down to write on it, so you could see what I wrote on there . I had to rub it off with a damp cloth.)

Anyway, this is more about six brushables I have that have had their hair styled as close to show-accurate as I could get.  I've moved around one brushable that's been styled before and when I took her out, her hair came undone and I had to redo it. In that case it wasn't too bad since it was Pinkie.  But I have some that were a lot more difficult to figure out, and I'd hate to have to re-style them (Sunset Shimmer in particular). Do any of you know the best way to move these ponies?

I'd just sick them into containers, like some cheap plastic "to go" things, then stack 'em in a box.  Would keep the hair from being smooshed.

Maybe stick some wadding around them in the containers, to keep the ponies from shifting, too.

I think that sounds the best bet...tupperware. You may still loose some of the styling unfortunately but individual tupperwares and some soft padding (ideally air filled bubbles) around them should transport them as close to undamaged as you will manage.

Maybe you can use one of those boxes designed for bottles/glass cups that have the little dividers. And stick the ponies with some kind of sticky tack to keep them from shifting around? May seem a little excessive though...

Best of luck with your move.

I just have to say, I love your box labels!

Those labels! 

I'll also have to take some of this advice.  I'll be moving into my new house this summer, and I don't want to mess up my ponies!
