I don’t even have room for all my loose figures and I know some people have more than me. I hate that there are a few I csnt display as is. I can’t imagine just having bins full of boxes in closets that you would never see. I guess you get that satisfaction of knowing you have that particular figure but that just wouldn’t do it for me.
That said, I’ve seen some pictures of people’s rooms with awesome MOC collections. But you just need a ton of space.

So you do it more as an investment later in life, correct? I’m trying to understand the logic behind buying stuff just to put it in storage or a closet if you aren’t cashing in on it later. No, I collect MOC cuz I’m a huge fan. Always loved the museum look having them MOC. Just don’t have the room to display then the way I want them atm. Looking to move to a bigger place real soon. Okay that makes sense. I thought you were just buying and storing to never to see the light of day. I was trying to understand that kind of logic. Thanks for answering. |

I'm a mix of both as it really depends on the figure but 80% of my collection is displayed loose in a Detolf cabinet.

I'm a loose collector all the way. I am running out of room for all of my figures though. Going to have to think of some creative ways to display some of them.

I open all of my figures. However I do keep certain Hot Wheels cars MOC such as Super Treasure Hunt cars.

I'm curious by the moc collectors. Is it that you intend to sell one day? You feel it adds to their value? I just feel that takes up so much room and I don't want my house to look like a toy store. I love the ability to pose figures, to rearrange them next to each other, to swap belts, etc. The fact that elite and legends packaging varies as opposed to jakks classic superstars line seems like it wouldn't lend to an attractive set up. Not attacking just questioning. To me the box is part of the art of the figure and if something doesn't grab my attention enough to want it in the box I doubt I'm gonna be really interested once it's out. Part of it is also regret. Its a little painful for me to look at my box full of Jakks Classics I opened as a kid because now I want them MOC. |

Let’s see how many collectors open their figures and let them breath and how many collectors keep their figures boxed sealed. that loose number is waaaay bigger than i thought |

Loose as a truce.
Step1: buy product
Step2: open box
Step3: Smell figure
Ahh mine!

MOC but if there is a older figure I need and its cheaper to buy loose then I go that route.

there's no way there's more MOC than loose, i'd guarantee that. if anything i bet the majority is a mix, like myself. i open nearly everything, but like to keep legit exclusives (like Slim Jim Macho, Ringside Hardy's, etc) in the pacakge Why not open them all... of those figures are that good your missing out on not being able to display them and posing them. I'm a loose collector, and I still keep my Slim Jim Savage unopened (at least the inner packaging). It looks perfect the way it is. I genuinely feel that it would lose something if I took it out and ditched the packaging. |

I have a mixture of both. I have a lot of the older Elites still boxed and sometimes something interesting that comes out like a chase figure I might keep boxed. Otherwise in the last couple years I have been opening almost all of the Elite figures I buy. More fun to mess with them and pose them than just leave in storage bin or stacked up somewhere.

If it's vintage and carded it stays MOC. With anything new, the box goes straight into the trash unless it's something interesting like Slim Jim Macho Man.
