5 things every beginner collector should know

5 things every beginner collector should know

New to blind boxes? Welcome here’s what you need before diving in.

Starting your Mofusand collection is exciting… and slightly addictive. But before you go all-in on shrimp cats and shark suits, here are five essential tips to help you collect smarter, avoid frustration, and fully enjoy the experience.


1. 🔍 You can’t choose your figure and that’s the point.

Blind boxes are designed to be surprises. You don’t know which figure you’ll get until you open it and that’s what makes it fun (and yes, a little nerve-wracking).

Instead of chasing only the one you want, enjoy the thrill of discovery. And remember: everyone gets doubles sometimes. Which brings us to...


2. 🔄 Trading is part of the culture.

Don’t want a duplicate? Try trading!

Collectors often swap figures online or in-person to complete their sets. Reddit, Discord, Facebook groups, or even Instagram hashtags like #mofusandtrade can connect you with fellow fans.

Tip: Keep your packaging in good shape it helps when trading!


3. 🧼 Keep your boxes and figures clean and safe.

Even though they’re tiny, Mofusand figures are collectibles not toys. Display them somewhere away from direct sunlight, pets, or curious toddlers.

You can store them in:

  • Acrylic display boxes

  • Mini shelves

  • Dedicated figure cases

This keeps them dust-free and adorable for years.


4. ❗ Not all sellers are equal watch out for fakes.

Unfortunately, the popularity of Mofusand has led to counterfeit figures online. Always buy from trusted shops (like us 👋) or authorized distributors.

If the price seems too good to be true, it probably is.

Hint: Real Mofusand boxes always include official branding, clean printing, and high-quality material.


5. 💖 Start with the one that makes you smile not “the rarest.”

When you’re new to collecting, it’s tempting to chase the rarest or most expensive figure. But the best collections start with joy, not strategy.

Choose the design you genuinely love. That cat in a bunny suit? If it makes your heart happy, it’s the right one to start with.


🐾 Final tip?

There’s no “wrong” way to collect. Whether you display them neatly or keep a pile on your desk, Mofusand is about bringing a little softness to your everyday life one surprise at a time.
