There's no reason not to open them. Dust is not a problem, just blow it off or something if you're afraid of that. And figs are not so fragile as to collapse under their own weight when taken outside the packageing. I'm sure you'll find them much more enjoyable if you take them out of their boxes.
But, each to their own, I suppose.

The worst thing about buying figures is that somewhere out there, there is a person with more figures than you.

Sure they don't. Action figures and other stuff made out of plastic never go up in value, right?

Wrong. You have much to learn about the art of collecting. Comic Book Guy would be raging at all the people who remove collectables from their original packaging and thus decrease their value.

Even the figures that I could make at least 20% profit by selling, I'd rather keep them for myself because if they're rare or valuable I'd want it anyways, and I prefer being able to look at my figs out of their box, especially if you can take some of their clothes off.

>> No.1515391

I am not a collector. I do, however, own several figurines. I'm having some trouble understanding the mentality of the collectors in this thread, and I mean no disrespect.

You buy the figs but you never take them out of the original packaging. Why? Isn't she meant to stand proudly on display where you can admire her?

You say unpackaging her decreases her value. What value? Her sentimental value to you, as a figure, or her resale value?

If it's resale you care about, why did you even buy her in the first place? She's just taking up space. Buy some stocks or something, goddamn.

Can somebody please explain this shit to me?

Most of them just don't understand investing and think they'll actually make a sizable amount of money. Most people who make money from collecting toys do so purely by accident, since it's almost impossible to predict if something's still going to be popular 10, 20, or 30 years from now.

Are you asking why people like to collect geek goods like comic books and figures and stuff? Because they enjoy it. Some take pride in keeping their stuff in perfect condition, others don't care, so it's whatever floats your boat. The former exists because some collectables can be very expensive. They have an intrinsic worth, so it would only make sense that some people want to keep their stuff in mint condition. It's not about "getting rich" or anything.

>> No.1515526

>>1515505
No, no, no, you don't understand what I'm getting at. Keeping your stuff in good shape is a no brainer. But never opening the package?

And you, yourself, said
>You have much to learn about the art of collecting. Comic Book Guy would be raging at all the people who remove collectables from their original packaging and thus decrease their value.

This is, to me, the same as buying a book, putting it on your shelf, and never touching it again. What's the use?

I think he's trying to say that there's a difference between collecting and displaying.

>> No.1515560

>>1515505
If it's never about the money, keeping figures in their boxes only limits the enjoyment you'll derive from them. Unless, of course, what you're enjoying is the merely the feeling of possession of a boxed figure in mint condition and not other important aspects like the sculpt and pose which defines the characters they represent and the hot glueability.

>> No.1515590

>>1515560
Exactly!

>> No.1515667

>>1515560
>>what you're enjoying is the merely the feeling of possession

Obviously, as that is the whole point of collecting. As I said earlier, whatever floats your boat. Whether you enjoy displaying them or doing like what the guy in the OP is doing, either is fine.

No, I will never remove the shrinkwrap from my copy of Radiant Silvergun in order to play it. It's important to me and valuable (to me, as I have no intention of ever selling it). Just owning it is pleasing to me, as I enjoy collecting video games.

>> No.1515676

>>1515667
That's a good idea, because if you played it you would probably notice how bad a game it is, and then you wouldn't enjoy owning it anymore.
