When you display your loose figures do you display them:
A- fully armed
or
B- unarmed with their weapons safely put away

Paritally armed with the remainder of their weapons safely put away.

Yes, I do display my figures with/without their weapons?
Really, the options should be with & without.

What is an action figure without his or her full weapons loadout? If any of my figures are on or operating a vehicle, they will have it displayed with them onboard.

I say a 50/50 to armed /disarmed ratio. :)

I display them with what makes sense. If the figure comes with an abudance of weapons and accessories, then they go in a plastic bag. And I rarely display them with wonky gear, like disc launchers or grappling hooks.

I try to pose my loose figures so that they match their card art.
With that said I sometimes do run into the problem where I could have some weapons left over.
Whenever this happens I try to stick the extra weapons somewhere onto the figure as if they are attached to their backpack or webgear.

Generally, yes.
This is impossible with RoC figures, though. Even without the stupid missile launchers, so many come with two main weapons and a sidearm, so I have to put them away.
I tend to be VERY careful with vintage figs/weapons, too. For example, I don't have my vintage helmeted Cobra Commander or Red Laser holding their laser pistols, as their hands are factory tight and I don't want to wreck the weapons - or potentially even the thumbs - so I have their pistols stored away. I'm really careful with Uzis in general, as the handles seem to wear very easily... I think all my Snake Eyes/Steelers have them in their hands (though I don't remove them very often), but the Low Light/Law & Order Uzi is designed VERY poorly. If you want to keep the handle mint, they pretty much can't ever hold them. It is next to impossible to get these in mint condition without cracking open a carded figure, so they stay stored away.
