Hey guys, I just got back into WWE and Figure collecting, I stopped when I was 11. I'm 14 now and I just bought Elite 12 Daniel Bryan. My dad told me I'm too old to be collecting and I should keep it in package because of the later value, but I'm debating whether to open or not. What do you guys think? I opened the side flap and took the clear plastic part out with the figure and looked at it, but quickly put it back inside.
Thanks

You aren't to old. There are older members here with some of the craziest collections I've ever seen.

These figures are mass produced. They are never going to increase by enough to warrant keeping them in the package for the sole purpose of selling them in the future.
The only reason to keep them in the package is if you plan on building an entire collection all still in the package. If not, open them up and enjoy them.
Hope this helped.

Your Elite 12 Daniel Bryan isn't MOC anymore, you opened it.

Keep it in the package if you want to maintain a MOC collection. Otherwise, display him and enjoy starting your new collection!

Im 31 with 3 kids and have about 500+ figures and a room to store them all in. As long as you enjoy it then your never to old.

Personally I think what's the point of buying a figure and keeping it MOC? You can walk it to your local shop and see Moc figures, open it that's why u brought it

I started actually collecting in 04 when I was 13 and I opened 2 Classic Superstars which I later regretted. So all except for 2 other figures I didn't care about, the rest of my CS collection is MOC. That being said Elites are fair game to being opened. The only figures I keep MOC now are legends. You're never to old for action figures.

These figures will never be worth a lot down the road. They are mass produced and everyone who wants them is going to have them. Maybe 20 years from now certain guys will be worth $40-$50 tops but not every figure will be and Daniel Bryan won't be one of them. It will probably be guys like Stone Cold, Bret Hart, Shawn Michaels, and 1/1000 etc. Also collecting MOC is pointless unless you have a whole empty room that you need to fill it with something and just like the look of new figs still in the package. Elite line and Defining Moments can all be opened very carefully with out destruction of the package, so anyone can open there figs and save the box so if they want to re package them again later in life. Knowing this information, those figs will not be worth anything because even if a legit MOC collector collects MOC, everyone is always going to assume that the figure was already opened, removed from the box and tampered with then re packaged. There is no point to MOC collecting unless you enjoy the look of it imo.

I'm 27 and have a huge loose display. Tell your dad to suck it. Make sure to throw a crotch chop in there too.
Also, if you think wrestling figures MOC hold some type of longterm value, ask the Jakks collectors how well that's working out for them.

I'm 27, married with 3 kids and own my own business. And I open the packages, because I think they look cool.

It depends on you if you want to keep it MOC or open it, but for me I definitely open all my figures so that I can admire them in every inch of the figure... And for the age, nobody is too old to collect as long as you enjoy collecting them and as long as you love what you are collecting...
