How many of you like your joes opened/carded or both?
Tried to get a poll started, but I'm not sure if it'll work (first time) Edit: Darn!.. I should have had another option: Undecided on whether or not to open or card!... (this is me.. which is why I can't believe i missed it) Last edited by ranoobu; 04-30-2008 at 06:28 PM.. |

Technicially I buy dupes of everything with the intent of opening of one and keeping the other MOC. However I have not gotten the nerve to open any of mine yet. As much I want to open some it seems they lose some of their luster after the fact.

I open everything, but I do it with an exacto knife around the edges of the bubble. This way, I don't damage the cards at all, and can still display them. Eventually I plan to hang them up above my display.
I actually really think this looks even *better* than the actual carded figures do--especially when it comes to figures like the Air Trooper or Doc, who have a big space in front of the bottom of their card art. Plus, this way it's way cost--and material--effective. I get to display the art 'and' open the toy, and I don't have to buy two of everything--plus, that means I'm only ever buying one of any select figure, so I'm not sucking up anyone else's possible toy stock. Hell, I've even got a decent army of Troopers by only buying 'one' of every release so far--with the exception of the original Officer, who I have two of. Seriously, though, I've got nine of them--which amounts to a pretty kickass army, all in all. |

to further elucidate my earlier post... i picked option 4, but i don't really keep hard-to-find figs on cards, per se. i usually just keep one of each army builder on cards, and maybe a few of the ones of which i really like the card and card art.

I buy one of almost everything to keep carded.
I buy duplicates of very few Joes to open (Snake-Eyes, Scarlett, Stalker, Duke, and eventually a v2 Hawk). I buy one of every Cobra character to open, and multiples of the army builders. |

I have one of everything on card right now. I plan on opening them when I move. I don't have any display room right now.

I like to open as much as possible plus a collection of MOMC's and have a healthy MOMC trade stack.
