Yay for early birthday presents :D

[CorpseBride]

My wonderful mama bought me this today...



The collection continues to grow....

I have almost the entire "cast" of available Nightmare models...and about half of the Corpse Bride ones. I think the hardest part has been keeping them in the packages. I really want to open them and be able to display them properly with lighting and such. What do you guys think?!?

[Hottie McNaughty]

Awesome! To keep value they have to stay in the package. I like to play with my toys.

Me too!

That is my darn dilemma. Shall I hold on to them as a neat keepsake for my son? Or do I enjoy them in all their splendor now? /sigh

[CorpseBride]

I like the way this topic is heading...

Ah, the good ol' Mayor. I know that these collectibles are worth more in the package, but if your only goal is to resell them someday, might as well just stuff them away a dark closet.

Models, figures and dolls are meant to be seen and played with, that's what I say. I have plenty, and they're unboxed and sitting on my shelves, so I can view and enjoy them. For example, I just got a new doll that I promptly unboxed to play with. Right, Hottie?

[zombombie]

Unbox it. I used to keep things like that in the box and then decided one day to show of my geekiness - loud and proud! I always unbox things now... well there is one...

I have probably over 500 + mcfarlane collectables and I prefer them in the box and regretted it everytime I took them out. Sometimes they have little parts and break or dont' stand properly etc. The box art and boxes are usually so nice that I don't want to cut into them anyways.

I agree partially to that all toys should be played with, but in my house it is better to keep collectable toys in their boxes cause here they are easily broken.

[CorpseBride]

Thanks for your input guys. I decided last night to unwrap them and set them up in my "office" Halloween town looks fantastic on display, and I am so glad I set them up. It is so worth it, they are looking down at me with evil delight as I type.

I have all my old Kiss collectibles out of the box, too. I'd never sell them anyway, no sense not having them were I can see them.
