Whoa! That's a lot of dakimakuras you got there. I like your little "in plastic bag + pinned onto a clothes-hanger" idea. You seem to pin up your tapestries and posters. I, on the other hand, can't bring myself to puncture my
pin-up posters. I just use scotch tape (masking tape is too weak, any other would tear it apart if I decide to remove them), make it into a loop, and apply them on each of the corners. I couldn't help, but eye on that poster of Momo, Mea, and that mystery person between them. Is it by Nise Midi Doronokai? And may I ask how you come across it?
Yeah, and I probably have another 40-50 sitting in boxes in my room that I need to find a spot for in the closet. I just figured I'd get the place mostly sorted out and then it would be easier to add stuff... but I'm kinda out of space unless I move some figures around. That was actually my initial storage idea, and it worked surprisingly well; I looped the bag through the hanger and then pinned the bag to it, so it wouldn't put any strain on the dakimakura cover itself. The problem with this idea was purely logistical; it requires an absurd amount of hangers, clothespins, and the space on my rack is limited. Still, I really like the sorting ability it provides, since I can't really pick and choose from the stacks on the shelves. Eventually, I'll probably pull out my favorite 50 or so, and hang them up in that manner so I have easy access to them.
Actually, the only two that are punctured are the Nise Midi Doronokai and red head under the Taiga. I didn't really want to do it, but they were both really bent up and out of shape from their time spent under boxes. But the others were still in the plastic they arrived in. I made use of that, puncturing the plastic bags just at the edges.
I think it was the doujinshi set they released at C82? The poster came with it, and I think I picked it up from YJA, but Mandarake had (and probably still does) it too.
