Okay, here's the scoop. My fiancee's parents live on the Intercoastal Waterway, and for many years, they've hosted a party for the annual boat parade. They tell us - Invite who you want, just make sure they know to bring a toy for Toys For Tots (The Coast Guard stops along the route and picks up any donations). In the three years I've been attending, I've donated some of my MOC figures that I can easily part with, or which the long-term value doesn't amount to much. I always give two at a time - Kids need two guys to have a match, right? This way, kids who like wrestling have something cool, and I pare down my collection.
I transitioned over to Mattel from Jakks, even though I swore I wouldn't. In that collection, I have two out of my three favorite guys growing up: Legends 3 Mr. Perfect and Defining Moments Ric Flair. I also have MOC Hasbro versions of Flair, Perfect, and my 3rd fave: Roddy Piper, in great shape. I wouldn't part with those Hasbros for anything. Getting more to my point, I got the first CS Jakks versions of Flair, Piper and Perfect. I'm considering donating the CS Flair & Perfect (Orange singlet). I kinda want to hang onto the Piper until Mattel makes a decent one, even though Series 4 Piper isn't anything special either.
So... In case TL;DR - Should I donate all three? Are they really nothing special in the long run, or would I be making a huge mistake? Any feedback welcome. Thank you.
