Star Wars Action Figs - In or Out of the Box?

[Xanatos]

I was wondering, do all of you collecters out there keep your figs in or out of the boxes. I usually take mine out, but, I have two stil in.

[Sam Kenobi]

None of the PotF ones I owned from that time are in the box. For Episode I, I kept half in, half out. Since then, they're all in.

But isn't this already a topic somewhere?

[Blizzard]

I have about 50 in boxes and 200 out of boxes.

[Horse_Head]

I have about a million in and out of boxes... 90% of my stuff is in storage though

[Xanatos]

I just got the Epiode 3 palpatine from the movie box, for 50 cent. It is the one with the launching electricity and redightsaber, he is all dressed in black robes. I took him out of the box, because it is more fun!

[Zedekk]

All the recent ones I've purchased are still "In-Box" I'm looking to expand my Droid collection soon. hehe

[Horse_Head]

Be sure to pick this up then...

AWSOME!!

[Enfilade]

Mine come out, so I can pose them.

[Horse_Head]

I like to display some of my figures...

[Xanatos]

WOW YOU HAVE A TON OF FIGURES.

Where did you get the clone wars figures?

Also post more pictures if you can.

[Horse_Head]

^ That's only a portion of what I have opened...

[MANVERU]

I only open the non-rare ones.
I wouldn't DARE open any of the good ones.

EDIT: awesome collection Horse!

[Xanatos]

Yeah great collection, post more pics of the rest please.

[Galahad_Skywalker]

I only have two figures still carded...Mara Jade and arena Padme...Scorch and Cody would've been prime candidates to keep carded, but I couldn't bring myself to look at them through plastic, so I devised a new way of doing things:

When I first pick up the figure, I take a picture of it in the box, then open it up. That way, I have something to remind myself that I once had it carded and to remember the joy of finding it on the shelf. I might pull that with my Padme and Mara Jade...I paid $20 for Mara two years ago, but I'm honestly not planning on selling her so why should I be worried about value?

[Xanatos]

I like that idea of taking a picture of the figure in the box, I will have to try that.

[TK2320]

I take mine out. No fun if you can't play with them.

[MANVERU]

Galahad skywalker brings up a good point.
What's the point of having them in the boxes when you wouldn't sell them?
Or would it be that the collector has knowledge that in 30 years time. He is one of the few people that still has a mint condition Darth Vader model from Kenner toys that was released when Star Wars first came out.

I'm detecting no Boba Fett in that collection, unless of course hes in that box under the Maul lightsaber.:p Bobe Fett should be centered in the middle.

[Horse_Head]

^ Two Bobas and a Jango in the crowd there...
... post more pics of the rest please.
I posted more of my collection and lots of close ups of my hallway in the Your Star Wars Collection (http://www.galacticsenate.com/showthread.php?t=3847) thread here...

*strokes Saranac to calm him *
Shhh little Fett man...shhh....there's always a Boba fett there, always.

[flo fett]

Oh and I mostly open mine to play with them, I have two of some so I can keep one in the packet, mostly bountyhunters mind you. All my ships get opened though and played with.

[Meiame]

I always take mine out of the box. It's so much easier to display them!

[Sarah-Leia]

The two that I have, I take out of the box. However, I am not sure this was such a good idea to do so with the Leia Boussh, as she has ball joints on her arms, and within 15 minutes of my ownership of her, she lost half an arm. It was found 5 hours later in a public park, would you believe, when Padme-Lily stepped on it, but then yesterday I lost the other arm...at school! I am so ANGRY at myself!:omg: :omg:
Now if I don't find the arm, I will have to disguise it somehow.

I would like to say that my Leia now has no lower arms. I lost them both at school. Feel free to bash me up.

[Blizzard]

That reminds me, I need to look for a Taun Taun on ebay. I am currently bidding on a Boga.

[Horse_Head]

I am waiting for my other George Lucas in Stormy Diguise to come so I can open one up... :wink:

[Sarah-Leia]

Do you have two of everything, Horsey?

George Lucas in Stormy Disguise...George Lucas dressed as stormtrooper? :blink: :stars:

[Horse_Head]

Two of many... not all :ok:

[AdamatiumRage]

Thats gonna be sweet !!! I still have 10 1978 figures from when i was a kid !!!:tease:

Yep, that's the set I've been eyeing! :artoo:

I take mine out. I only buy specific action figures to compliment my vhs/dvd/cd/book collection. For example, I have the Luke Unleashed ESB and classic Boba and Leia figures that go with my ESB stuff.

No point keepin' them in boxes. Toys are meant to be played with ;)

Same here and I also think it is easier to display the figures.:yoda:

[jgatienza]

sometimes, original trilogy figures i keep on the card, other than that, i bust them open and let my kids play with them. if i want original trilogy characters i wait till they are on sale or buy them loose at a toy show.

[Jedi Master 2k5]

Yeah I always keep the Cards.

[Darill Cyllem]

I can't resist opening them - I like to have some on my desk and let them have adventures during break time....

[Camishere]

Im Collecting Alot Of Exclusive Action Figures And The McQuarrie Concept Figures And Im Keeping Them In The Boxes But I Have Over 150 Figures Out Of The Box.

I Call Them Loose Somthing I Picked Up On Ebay. (Its Loose If Not In The Package)

[DarthLazious]

I keep mine in the box. :)
