Seems like a waste to me, with all the extra articulation and what not, I'm sure I'll be opening mine. These aren't vintage after all - like everything coming out nowadays (especially "collector lines"), they'll be plenty of people keeping these in the package, ensuring that the resale value won't ever get too high (probably!).
good point. for 20 bucks.....shhheeeze! that would have you thinking about keeping them mint. then again,....i open EVERYTHING! so its a safe bet that im going to open them. whats the point?(not knocking the M.O.C'ers) but i gotta give'em some play....give'em an accurate rundown in my mind....ya know. but yeah...he-man will be kickin' ass!
Hi There Everyone!! First Post here!
Well, I've been on both sides of the debate. I've kept my figures carded, but to tell you the truth... the joy of takin them pieces of glorified plastic, and posing and (dis)PLAYIN them, can't be replaced with puting them in a box and just knowin you have em.!!
Look at it like this...I dont care if it sounds childish, If a Character is in a package, look at it as if its in a cofin, free the sucker!! bring it to life!!!

Every toy stuck in it's packaging is crying right now.
Get them out and play with them!
To me, the price doesn't include the package as much as the figure. Sure, the package is figured into the price, but my money isn't spend as well when I'm just looking at the thing. Opening all the way!
I'll be opening my figures, they look like they 'play' great. They have plenty of articulation; I can't wait to get the first few!
My He-man will be set free-- Eternia needs its Champion! I know it just guts the resale value on all my toys but I rarely have the will power to keep anything mint. The only exception to date has been one of those 25th anniversary Joes on the cool foil card, but even then I got a double, since I already had it lose from one of the first 5-packs. If I had the space I would probably buy more doubles to keep some mint...
I haven't decided, but I'm leaning towards opening them because they just take so much space in package, and I've got too much stuff already.
Maybe I'll get two of each though (one to open, one to leave MOC) and really take up some space...
Probably keep them in package over the vintage ones, and now I need a place to put my Prince Adam commerative 5 packer.....man life is rough sometimes.
