Thats right. Free them outta their plastic prisons for wartime!

Most of mine are open cause I like the way they look displayed but there are a few that are still sealed.

I keep mine sealed for the most part but I did open a ninja turtle who does flips. It's pretty wicked.

As has been stated....if you plan on selling them....keep sealed....if you plan on displaying them on a shelf...for all to see...by all means take them out of the package.

But give it some thought....I opened all of mine and have them all on a shelf....but sometimes I wonder if I could get big bucks on e-bay....would I sell them.....the answer is ....hell yeah......some of them anyway.

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.

But the way I see it, what's the point in having them in good condition if you can never use or touch them? They're just there, waiting all the time for someone to visit the house that won't mind taking a look.

if you had a painting - would you play with it ?

Fair point. But paintings aren't designed to be held and played with. Things like action figures and toy cars etc are.
