Maybe you could still use the Ziplocs, but poke some (pin)holes to allow for some air circulation -- but small enough so as not to lose any pieces.

Wouldn't it work just as well to keep them bagged but simply not close the seal? Poking holes in the bags could just lead to bag deterioration over time, I would think.

Where does one get polypro bags? Don't think I've noticed any through the usual means of getting bags like a grocery store or hellmart.

+2 for the sentiment.
To the OP, I would also choose interior storage. Specifically basement storage if you can manage it. Depending on how well insulated the building is, your figures may still be exposed to temperature and humidity swings that Omegatron mentioned, just not to the same extent as exterior storage. Basement storage can minimize the size of those swings as the temperature and humidity so remain more consistent for a longer duration, plus you'll have the added benefit of limiting them to daylight exposure too.
