Hi guys I just wanted to get people's opinions on collecting loose or MOC. What do you prefer & why? I have all of my figures MOC but I am now finding it difficult to find the space to keep them. Should I unbox them and maybe just keep a few rare/special ones (ie. elite zack ryder, 1/1000s) boxed? I would appreciate any thoughts & feedback you may have. Thanks

Loosey Goosey all the way.
I do keep things like Exclusives or the 1/1000s MOC because they are something "special" but a figure released at retail? No reason to keep it MOC, i just dont have the space.
Besides, i love the way a shelf looks with like 40 loose figures on it. Just something about it... as opposed to a wall covered with packages, makes the room feel smaller.

i've always been a loose collector. i like looking at pictures of MOC collections but i can store my loose collection much better than a MOC collection.

Loose. In the space one Elite box takes, you can fit about 4 loose figures.

I collect MOC. Although they do take up a lot of room. They look really cool in packaging in my opinion. What I do, is I display my signed/rare/the ones I like on my wall. The other's that I have no room for or don't care to display, I just store them in my closet. My closet is getting full though . I also like to get figures signed by superstar's when I meet them. Figures are literally one of the best thing's to get signed in my opinion. I really wish I could help with your situation but I don't think I can. Just store what you can(don't be messy when storing them though.). Display what you really like. I have rare ones that are MOC, but I don't dispaly. It's really up to you though, if you are willing to open them or really firm on keeping them MOC. Displaying loose is pretty cool too from what i've seen on here and youtube.

Loose usually. But lately I have been rebuying some of my favorite Jakks figures MOC because mine are so beat up.

Loose ... I have no desire to have a bunch of boxes taking up space in my house. Also just enjoy looking at the figures. I grew up in the original action figure era of the early 80s ... Star Wars, GI Joe, Transformers, He-Man, etc .... Having the figures out certainly speaks to my childhood.

Loose. It is to hard to get a good box to keep MOC and it takes up to much space.I used to collect Classic Superstars MOC and it did look nice but i ran out of room quick

I collect loose because I'm able to pose (play ) them in my ESR or in my display case/bookcase. The only figure I'm keeping MOC is the Elite 8 Sheamus I got signed yesterday!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I also keep the Elite/Legends/Exclusive boxes (but throw out the Basics) because of the cool info on the back.

MOC ever since I was a kid. I have never played with toys but always been fascinated by them! I love the packaging art/design. They make for great items to be autographed. If your ever in an emergency bind for money they are easy to resell and get some money back, may be less than what you paid or more than what you paid. I like to display all my MOC's in my man cave. If there is a figure that i absolutely have to display out of package I will buy 2 and open one and display it on a book shelf or desk for fun. Hope to pass down my collection to my children one day. Im 24 years old so hopefully it will be a long time before I have children to pass em down to haha!
