Congrats! I keep mine in a display case to help protect and prevent dust, and keep them in their boxes if not on display (so don't throw out the boxes!). This is the case I use: https://www.ikea.com/us/en/p/blaliden-glass-door-cabinet-black-00520519/ - don't tighten the screws, especially on the top, too tight; some people have had issues with this cabinet exploding, and having slightly looser screws can help prevent that. I got these lights to put inside, and attached one to the underside of the top piece of the case and to the bottom of each shelf, then tucked the wire into the corner, secured it with some tape to keep it out the side, and threaded all the cords out the hole in the upper back of the case: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00XJKOCBG?ref_=ppx_hzsearch_conn_dt_b_fed_asin_title_8 I moved recently and have yet to put my figures back in their case, or else I would share a picture for you. As others have said, no direct sunlight. Be gentle when moving/posing the first few times and make sure to pick one that's stable enough the figure's not at risk of falling over (been there, almost had a heart attack). One the joints and fabric have loosened up a bit, you can be a little more gung-ho. Don't leave the figure in one pose for too long as it can cause strain and damage on the joints/fabric. Have fun and switch things up every now and then! I keep all my extra accessories in their proper spots in the box and store the boxes in bigger boxes/bins. It might be a good idea to keep small/easy to lose pieces in a little zippy bag in the box instead, too. And most of all, HAVE FUN! I know it's tempting to be super cautious because of how expensive these figures are, but as someone else said, they're too expensive to NOT have fun with them - you can always check out eBay or other similar sites to get replacement parts if you need to. My first HT was the Ezio Auditore that I wanted for 10 years before I was finally in a position to afford him, and I remember how happy I was when I finally got him and set him up in a dynamic assassination pose.
