I am discovering that I simply cannot display all of my wonderful ponies at once :( , so I must put some in storage. However, I was wondering how I would go about storing them correctly. Thanks for your help!

I'm no expert, but personally I try to keep them out of sunlight in a dry and cool environment. If you store them in a box, maybe secure the mane and tail, and keep them separately in something like a ziplock bag. Especially with G3s, if one of the ponies' plastic starts to break down (you know them sticky ponies) it won't ruin all your ponies at once.

Wrapped in with tissue in a cool, dry, dim, place. Be careful with bags as they can trap moisture.

Didn't think of that. What about paper bags? Would that make any difference?

I have most of mine stored in baggies in a bin. With as dry as it is here, I wasn't worried about moisture, although I will be adding tissue paper wrapping just in case
 
I strongly advise against sealed zip-top / ZipLock bags, as they trap moisture in with the pony and can lead to problems like mold and rust. If you're going to use plastic baggies, make sure they are clear (as Tak mentioned, as colored anything has the potential to transfer onto / stain a pony permanently) and that you leave a little bit open at the top for air to circulate and stay fresh.

Never EVER use printed newspaper, colored tissue, or colored plastic bags of any kind!

If you're going to use tissue paper, I suggest acid-free / archival tissue paper or white tissue. ;)

Thank you! Is it ok to put tape on the tissue paper to keep it closed? Or should I just have the tissue paper?

Also, don’t use coloured tissue paper as it can transfer onto ponies. I’ve gotten ponies shipped with cute coloured paper and it stained my ponies. :(
 
I put each of mine in a plastic baggie, but don't close it. Then store them in a cool, dry, dark place where they are never in direct sunlight. It works for me.
 
All mine are displayed. I'm lucky. Every time this thread pops up, this song gets on a loop in my head. "Store it in a cool, dry, place"
 
I feel like those little silica desiccant baggies would help too. Those ones that come in your shoes and such that say Do Not Eat. You can get bags of them on Amazon. I throw them into the zip baggies I use but only time will tell.
