Recently I've started to keep a few of my figure buys in their boxes rather than take them out.
The standard Mattel basic ones usually come out of their packaging whereas some really great looking ones, DM, Elites and so on stay packaged and placed on the wall.
Which do you do? Loose, MOC or both?

I rarely keep things in the box. If it's something I know I'll never see again, I won't open it. Or if I don't have a need for it, but really wanted it, I won't open it.
I still have my Mattel unmasked Keaton Batman and Chris Reeve Supes MOC.
Other than that, I open them Sh*ts before I even leave the store parking lot.

Open
Displaying them all MOC would be cool but space

like speaktomewarriors...I keep MOC and loose but only of my favorites..I may buy a John Cena MOC but I won't buy a loose version of him because I don't like him that much where if it's like a Chris Jericho I'll buy one for my loose and one for my MOC

One loose for my son, one MOC for me.
A guy like Tito I just got one loose for my son.
A guy like hof hogan I got one MOC for me because my son has DM hogan loose already.
Eddie and yoko I bought two so we both get one.
To keep this under control....I only buy one attire of every legend for my son. I buy one to keep MOC if it's the most iconic attire or my personal favorite.
Exceptions will be made for hogan, sting, and macho

Open Displaying them all MOC would be cool but space I have a tiny room too so that's why they're getting stuck to the wall! |

I buy 2, one loose one moc That's what I'm doing with the DM Sting! Can't wait for that. It looks great if you have the space to display the loose one posed in front of the moc version |

I crack them open. I dislike the packaging, but I dislike most modern packages. I only keep vintage toys on card if I get them that way. Plus these are so well articulated it's fun to set them up in cool displays.

I find moc collections pointless and boring to look at tbh. Moc displays look like walking in a toys r us aisle. The only time they look good is if there's only a few and they're behind a loose display. Also purely moc collectors don't even get to see a lot of the detailing on the figures... For instance the first run of elite 30(?) batistas where they were front first and moc u couldn't even see the back tattoo.

I've considered getting some Legends on card, that series had awesome packages. I kept the cards after I opened a few.

Both. I didnt fully appreciate elites for what theyre worth until I opened some and posed them with accessories on, and w/groups and teams. I always buy two DM and some hall of fame. It depends on who it is if I keep it sealed for another reason.

For an MOC collector it's nice to know you have the figure brandy spankin new in the box somewhere. Seeing these figures for the first time whether it's hanging on a hook at retail or opening the box left on the doorstep is a great memory after such looong anticipation. I remember that hunt when I see it again. *edit for clarification* - I do not display my MOC collection |
