Do You Keep Your Figures in the Box or Open Them For Display?

[Kyoshi Frost Wolf 40,561]

Oh wow, I actually seem to be in a minority here. D: I mostly keep all of my figures in their cozy boxes, that way they are safe and sound. :3

[ManaMinori 4,144]

How can you play with them if they're in the box?!

 

Seriously though, I have about half of mine open. The rest I've resisted the urge, but mostly because I'm moving. Once I do, those suckers are going to be open so fast it'll make their plastic heads spin.

you're not supposed to play with collectables, though.

[Bird Mom 900]

I open mine. I can't handle just seeing them cooped up in a box.

[azbat 301]

I keep my Water Cuties in the box because you can see all the way through the packaging and the ponies don't get as dirty. Hot Wheels always stay in the box.

[best poni 1,518]

I keep my Equestria Girls and some of my brushables boxed but other than that, no.

[Kivil 1,721]

I open all of my figurines and but them all on my nightstand! It's truly beautiful! 

[Rarity Is Best Pony 634]

I keep my MLP funko figures in their boxes, simply because I really like the design of the packaging. 

[Maishul 12]

If I buy something, I like to pop the box open. I just enjoy seeing my things the way they're meant to be displayed and like to be able to pick them up and examine them. I keep most of them on a shelf, save for my Link amiibo and Marceline Pop Vinyl figure, which I keep on my computer desk.

[RainbowPastel 185]

I usually open my ponies once I finally have a place to display them. Some of the Comic-Con ponies like the ones with the SWAROVSKI crystals I keep boxed up on display because the boxes are beautiful.

[StormdustPony 471]

I open all of my stuff,  Why have stuff if your not going to use them?

[ChefSandy 22]

Both. It really depends on the toy. 2012 SDCC Derpy is out of her box though I still have it but 2013's Vinyl Scratch isn't. All my pocket ponies are arrayed, but I have some of the early released FiM brushables in their packaging with the mini-DVDs. Full set of the Target Power Ponies set in their packages, but I have an out-of-box Rarity-as-Radiance on my shelf. Funkos are out of box. Signed toys stay in their box. 

 

I also don't have any more room on my Pony shelf. 

[Comic Sans 401]

When I first started buying ponies, I kept them in the boxes, but I later thought, well, why am I bothering? I'm not planning to sell them on in the future or anything as I doubt they would even have any sort of value, plus they're literally only there for display. So I decided to open them.

[Steve Piranha 29,316]

I always open mine, they're easier to display and store that way. Besides, most of the MLP toys are way too common to be worth much money down the road anyway.

Give them a couple of decades then, they should be worth 40$ at least 

 

Nah, I like to get them out, I like to touch poneh when I'm down 

[frecklesareblooming 225]

I keep mine boxed, but I've been seriously considering unboxing them because I don't plan to sell them any time soon and they just take up a lot less room that way.

[SteelSpark 124]

i have all of mine on a shelf

[ManeStay 235]

I always take them out of the box to display. That's what I do with all the merch I collect. Always have and probably always will  

I keep my Equestria Girls and some of my brushables boxed but other than that, no.

 

The Equestria Girls I can understand keeping in the box because their boxes look really cool with the character pictures and all. (Still doesn't stop me from opening mine though lol)

[Leave a Whisper 703]

On display. In box takes up too much space and I like to pick them up and brush them.

[Concerned Bystander 2,902]

You obviously haven't seen how much some of the Funkos can go for eBay, particularly Luna and Celestia.

 

Most of mine are still boxed, at least for the moment, and that's how they'll stay until I have a house and a decent display cabinet to put them in.  Even then, they'll be opened carefully, and the boxes stored in the attic.

[Randimaxis 8,642]

I've always been a Toys-R-Us kid; unless I am buying something SPECIFICALLY as either a gift for someone or to sell, then I open that sucker as soon as I can.

 

Why buy toys if you aren't going to PLAY with them?

Toys!  I'm thirty seven, I don't buy toys!  I buy collectible actions figures and figurines.  Totally different, honest.  I may take them off the shelf every now and then to re-pose them for much longer than it should probably take, but that's allowed.

To each their own decisions are wise; you are always welcome to your own opinion, of course.

 

However, I can't help but feel that you're missing the point of 'toys' in the first place.  *shrug*  Ah, well... 

[Ted Cruz 177]

I keep most of them in the box, but a lot out of the box, too.

[PittyPaws 118]

Both. 

Sometimes I will buy two of a figure. 

One to keep in it's box and one to just have around to play with. 

[EverEverOn 346]

The only Funko pony I've ever bought was Twilight, and her box was beat up pretty badly. I just took her out.

[----- 476]

I open them and put them on my bookshelf. :I
