Many folks would call this a Deck Case for playing cards but you can actually do so much more with them as I will go into detail below. This is the Iizuki Version as illustrated bu Iizuki Tasuku-sensei.

This is the back of the Iizuki Version - Mirai in her Solar Marine uniform.

Inside the case you get a separator is not only great for separating contents in the case - you can also use it to scrape snow from your car or if you throw it hard enough then you can use it as a shuriken substitute.

The separator is of Mirai listening to some cool tunes.

Each case comes folded and wrapped.

Each case should be folded before use.

Many cases like this come already made but we developed a template which allows the case to be folded. This means we can pack 50 of these into a 270mm × 200mm × 110mm x 1.5kg sized carton for logistic reasons.

The lid has a little tuck like so...

Which can be tucked under the slot on the case to keep it closed.

I kept many of these cases for myself ^^; One use I have is to keep my business cards in - the separator helps keep cards that I receive seperate from my ones.

Figma's are delicate to carry around - protect them in the case!

Standard sized Nendoroids however dont quite fit - unless you pull the front hair piece off. But you can use it to carry around your Nendoroid parts ^o^

3eec4885cc9ab870a8004f505beb3c7b

All fit like so!

271a06605f78f421c7670ee5a9c1099a
