I like the loose, they are fun to look at next to each other and you can pose them, put on and take off the accessories, plus there are those of us that like to do fix ups or customize. When I was a kid I had all the WCW Galoob, the U.S. versions anyhow, and I had a pretty decent Hasbro collection as well as the Hasbro Ring. I sold most of my collection at a yard sale when I was in the 7th or 8th grade to further my comic book or basketball card collection. I only kept my Macho Man and Macho King Hasbro figures. I even had a home made steel cage my dad made out of wood. I remember when I was in college I tried collecting again, I had a Jakks Pacific Jeff Jarret with the Don't Tick Me Off shirt, and some Toy Biz Kevin Nash, Scott Hall, and Scott Steiner. I quit watching wrestling, and all TV for that matter, for a year, between a religious experience and improved social life during college. So I threw my figures away. I still kept my Hasbro Macho Man and Macho King though. I just got back into collecting this past December. My modest collection is sitting a top a rolling filing cabinet. I recently purchased an Elite Scale Ring on Ebay, and am looking into purchasing a folding card table to put the Elite Scale Ring on because its wider filing cabinet.

Loose, because they're toys. If you're collecting toys without opening them, if you're just looking at them in the packaging and ignoring the tactile element of them, it just seems like a waste. You might as well collect trading cards or something.

Loose. if I really like a figure I might get another to keep MOC, but I like to collect loose. I just don't get MOC. I feel with MOC if I'm not going to open it I might as well leave it on the pegs and just look at it whenever I go to that store, because that's the same enjoyment lvel I see out of keeping something MOC.

Loose. Many reasons: -More fun -Less space -You actually get to "feel" the figure which is the best part of collecting in my opinion -You get to play if you want to

I collect a healthy mix, but its about 70% loose now with Mattel. I keep anything special or hard to find MOC, and I'll usually buy duplicates of things like that to have one loose too - like the TTTT line, Elite Flashbacks or BOPPV series'.
Anything else, like the WWE RC cars, the WWE semi-trucks, Mysterio masks and so on are always kept MOC.

I am predominantly a loose collector. I don't ever play with them or animate but I do display them. Currently, they are all stored away until my spare room opens up this summer. I also have about 30 or so Jakks/Mattel figures MOC. I would have more MOC but I don't want to take up too much space. I tend to keep all exclusives and figures I have doubles of that I just love like DM 5 Bret, DM 1 Macho, DM 3 Dragon, etc. MOC and display them on the wall. If the packaging is really darn cool I may keep it MOC too. For instance, I am debating whether or not to keep the upcoming RSC exclusive Bret Hart MOC because the packaging just rocks!

I'm a MOC collector. Mainly because I love getting the figures signed. If I really like a figure, I'll pick up a double to go loose. The only time I ever went loose without doubles was during the Vince promo when I had to send in UPCs.

I am mainly an moc collector because i like the way they look in the package. The only way i will get a loose figure is if i buy it that way.

Loose. Why? 1. i animate terribly. 2. i like the look of them loose. 3. to me, figures are meant to be opened. 4. its hard keeping a figure MOC. i bought a Elite 10 Jomo to keep moc for when i meet him (i met him already) and I got it signed. What happened??? It's opened.

I collect MOC. I like how it looks and it's easier to keep clean.

Loose. I don't have the space to keep them all MOC and I like changing the order around/switching championships and stuff around.
I have Legends/HOF guys at the back, then guys like Carlito who aren't in WWE anymore, then guys who are injured/suspended, then Divas, then jobbers like Darren Young, then midcard guys like Brodus, then the maineventers.
That'd probably be kinda difficult if I kept them boxed.
