Toys: Open or Keep Sealed
i was gonna start a horror action figure collection like some members have, but couldnt decide wether to open them and set up or to keep them wrapped forever....
how do you have your toys? and whats the reason why you chose for your collection? i was planning on keeping them sealed, but thought to myself i wasnt going to sell them at all so i probably should open them for a cool display..but thats a reason for collecting, to keep something in a preservative state..?

All of my toys are opened since they're from when I was a kid. But I've been thinking of getting a couple of figurines to decorate my place. Open them if you know for sure that you'll never think about reselling them. If you're actually going to start a collection and are going to check their value regularly, then I would keep them sealed.

I think it's kinda silly keeping them sealed, and if you do, maybe get two of them, so you can open one. I just don't see the point in having them sealed unless you plan to sell them one day. I think, if you want decorations, get models designed to be sat on the mantle. Afterall, it looks pretty bad if you have them all sealed up on the shelf. Kinda cheap looking.

Keeping them sealed ...keeps them in mint condition.
The last thing you want are fingerprint marks all over them or even dust settling over them..especially if your a collector. My nephew has 5000 toy cars..all still sealed. they look great too.

A bit of both for me. If it looks cooler sealed I'll keep it that way, I'm not to worried about the value of them its an asethtic thing for me.

If for later resale, keep sealed.
If for your personal collection, and you don't really give a shit and can treat them carefully/respectfully enough to not break them (pretty easy but many seem to fail) then open 'em up and pose 'em around your room I say. Like with comics...for as many people keep them in the hope of another "boom", read once if that then sealed, it's really more enjoyable to the original "owner" to be able to just re-read whenever they like, have a box of comics, stuff one folded into the pants pocket. So I guess if it's for you, I'd say open it. If not, keep it in good nik, sealed.
