Aight so I've recently started buying WWE figures. I got into collecting because I would buy figures for My three year old son and from that a hobby was born. So my question is how do most of you display your collection? I have all of my figures still in their packaging, but I've notice a lot of people displaying loose figures. Is this common or just a personal preference? I like keeping them in their original packaging, but Thats just me. Would love some feedback. Thanks

I started that way because its what I thought adult collectors did, and in case of resale.
The problem is if you need a lot of wall space or shelving to fit sealed figures. Plus the accessories look better on and figures posed or next to their stables, teams, managers.

Just put this together. Defining moments on the top shelve (I have every DM MOC so there is two shelves) then loose figs on the shelves (just put some up there for the pic) and my elites MOC hanging by thumbtacks on the wall behind. i.imgur.com/oB577uR.png

I got the color changing so I can channel my DX mood or Kane

I got the color changing so I can channel my DX mood or Kane I stick with the white ones. I heard the color changing ones can damage collectibles over a period of time so I just stay clear of them. Not sure if true or not but I love these shelves

Mine our in plastic bins, all loose as I actually play with them. Once I get some space cleared out I'd like to buy a nice glass cabinet to display them all when I am not playing. Would be cool to separate them into shows (Raw, Smackdown, Ecw, CZW, etc.) and have them next to tag partners, accessory displays and what not

Keep it boxed for now and let your son open them when he gets older.

I have my ESR with a bunch of action going on in it, and with the WWE Mattel RAW Stage right by it. Then I have a current and former champions display on my closet shelf.

I'm an Elite completist so I've got them all displayed loose by series.

I display them loose on a shelf. I don't like how much space MOC takes up and I like putting them in iconic poses and such. I also like doing some customs and fixups.

I use a combination of spice racks, and chairs and tables to serve as shelves that add different heights to my display. I've got all my figures posed in their iconic poses, factions together and so forth. Whatever really looks good to you and catches your eye and makes you happy is all that matters.

I use one of those wal-mart book shelves and use deluxe display stands for titleholders.
