A blind box collection grows faster than the space for it. The first few figures sit happily on a desk, then a shelf, then suddenly there are thirty small plastic characters and nowhere left to put them. How you display them decides how the collection looks and how long it lasts.

The families that arrive happy are not the ones with the most toys. They are the ones who matched the toy to the stage of the journey. This guide follows the trip from the driveway to the bach, with the toys that survive each stage.

Blind boxes are everywhere, from Labubus and Sonny Angels to Pokemon card packs, and most parents have bought one at a checkout counter.

The good news is that fakes are usually catchable. This guide covers the checks that work, whether you are buying cards, figures, or plush, and how to keep a collection safe from a bad deal.
