Sorry if this is the wrong place but I was just wondering if people keep everything MOC or not. I mean when I was a kid of course not. I played with my Hasbro Ultimate Warrior until his head fell off. But now I just started collecting and I want to have fun with them but I'm hesitant. What do you guys do?

i'm a loose collector. easier to pose em how you want when you display them. MOC takes up space, but it helps figs keep their value. i'm prolly a collectors worst nightmare, lol. i remember getting RSC exclive austin aries and ravaging that beautiful carding to get him out!

I open the basics, and keep Elites MOC. And i have a nice setup. I have a shelf hanging on my wall where my favorite wrestlers stand (Barreta, Booker T, Rikishi, Macho Man, Hawkins, McGillicutty, Flair, Hardcore Holly, and Titus O Neil)
Then my 4 tier bookshelf, the top shelf is where my Basic Mattel WWE figures stand, the second shelf is where my TNA Jakks figures will stand, the third shelf is where the WWE Jakks figures stand and my bottom shelf is where my accessories sit.

I open 95% of my collection.
Only things I keep MOC are exclusives....and even some of those I open.

OPEN YOUR ACTION FIGURES!
They're ACTION Figures.
Not sit and collect dust in a package figures.

I was a MOC collector ,then I opened just about everything.Now I collect loose(mostly) it saved me a ton of space/storage .I do keep certain figures in the box and on rare occasion ill get a double ,one for loose one for MOC.It saved me a ton of space and I get to feel like a kid again and pose them around and stuff and my kids love it and mess with them with me so it works out kool! They lost there value but I got my value in them so once again it's kool .but do whatever pleases you with yours man and enjoy.

I collect two of each. I keep one MOC and open one to pose and have up on my elite deluxe stands. My walls are literally covered and I have no space but they look great. And the loose figures I like having to see the detail and pose them in my custom arena. I say you get more satisfaction from opening them though I must admit though...

I can't be happy with them in a box. The majority of my satisfaction is from being able to see 360 degrees of a figure, and with the Elites, a really great pose looks better than any packaging ever would in my opinion.
That said, I've seen some really cool MOC collections, but space would be an issue here.

Depends....
If I think I may have a shot at getting them autographed (or even might want to) I'll keep it MOC... example, I'm meeting Mick Foley next month - so I'm keeping my Elite Mankind MOC, I might get it signed. If I decide to get Cactus Jack instead, I may open the Mankind figure. But I already have a Cactus Jack JAKKS figure (see my sig) that I'm planning on having my wife get signed. So I haven't decided yet.
If I really like the design and want to display it loose on the shelf, then it gets opened.. most CM Punks fall into this category... but his WM29 figure on may stay MOC, when they ever release it.... I was at the event, and want to keep it as a collector's item.
If it seems like a collectors item, I'll often leave it MOC... same with some exclusives. Undertaker Elite 20-0 stays in its original packaging...
Mainly comes down to how I plan to display the item. I'm running out of space, too, for MOC's - so I have to be selective.

They look better in the package, but take up waaaay too much space.
I open all of mine.

Loose collector here. I don't play with my figures, but I display them loose. MOC takes up way too much space.

I open them. They're toys, they're dolls, they're action figures. If you're not going to play/pose/whatever with them, then in my book, you might as well collect trading cards.

I open them and pose them around. Usually, I'll have one in front of me while I'm on my PC listening to Spotify and playing games on Steam. The longest I went without opening a figure was with mailaway Trips since I was debating whether to keep it MOC. I lasted two days. >__>

I open almost everything. If it's a figure I really like I'll get an extra to keep MOC

Only reason I'd keep something MOC is if I wanted something autographed like Flair Forever said. Otherwise, play & display!

Finally opened my Daniel Bryan. Wish I had opened it sooner. For sure the way to go. Was weird seeing a decapitated Michael Cole head inside but a good experience  |
