My TMNT figures? Still MOC. Though I'm considering on buying an airbrush real soon.

maybe i just like to spend $$ but I buy 2 of figures i really like, such as the Neca. I wanna display but also keep Moc to have as my collection

cup-mikey-gertha · 01-27-2009, 02:51 PM

Well, if it's NECA. I don't think I'll ever open it. It's so rare in my country, you'll be lucky if you ger to see two different NECA turtles in 12 cities. And that's no exxageration.

I free them from their plastic prison.

Why would someone buy a figure and not play with it? Thats the whole fun of it. You can't enjoy them that way. You might as well be looking at a picture.

If you just want to have fun then, open them. If you play with them, there would be a tendency that they'll get scratched, ripped off. etc.

It's not really a good sight a decade later.

So far, ripping the boxes open leads the poll.
