Both! Depends on the pop! I love when you take them out of the box and notice the tiny details!

I like both, because I buy out of box for the real expressive ones I can’t afford in box

I started as strictly inbox. Now I do a mix. Sometimes just taking them OOB to play with and then put back. When I really like a pop I will buy two and unbox one. I like the box art to display though. Sodas force me to unbox, err uncan.

Personally if I get doubles I’ll keep one in box and other oob. But if they are LE I prefer to keep them as minty as possible:)

Same here and I usually keep the boxes for the ones I have on display.

Out of box helps catch the nice detail on some of them.

In Box Collector here. But I do occasionally buy a duplicate of pops I love or pops that look great so I can open and display at home or on my desk at work.

In box for most of them. I take some out of the box depending on what room they are in.

I'm both in box and OOB but am also a firm believer in taking ALL of your stuff out at some point to enjoy the piece in its true glory. Even my most coveted "grails" have had the chance to breathe.

When I first started I was about half and half. I built shelves that allow for the pop to be OOB, and the empty box to sit behind it. Then as I started to shift more towards stickered items, I became more and more inbox exclusively. I pretty rarely open one now, unless I get two of them.

And recently I actually started putting some of the OOB ones that had moved to drawers back into their boxes so they could be stored easier. And when I checked their PPG value, I even put some of them into protectors.

Seems that I am evolving to mostly in box. But I do have quite a few on display still.

We do both. keep all our standard size pops in box and 10" and 18" oob around the house and make cool displays out of them.

I do put some pops and mystery minis inside our pinball games for display, really updates some of the older titles.

Never gotten a double, and decided to open it up to look at the whole Pop! - sometimes there's a surprise on the back side.... like this sherlock deadpool with a knife in his back

Definitely out of box - better able to take pictures, see the details on the pieces. Plus, I can fit a lot more into my collectibles room!

I do both. It really depends on the POP for me. Not so much the value of it, but more how it would display better.

I try and buy at least 2 of them so if I want one opened I would still have one in box. But when I bought Rob Zombie I had to ha 3. One open and 2 in box. :freddy3: :freddy4:

I’m mainly in box, but I do have some OOB. The main reason is I don’t have space.

I'll go with inbox collector. Granted it does take way to much space versus out box.

100% I love the detail when they are oob. The stickers block the view sometimes. For example, the horror grails look so much better oob for the glows

I keep them in box. I rarely take them out to breath, except my flocked Cookie Monster. One of my favorite Pop.
