who here started off collecting loose and got struck with the moc plague?i started off collecting for the fun of it,just bought stuff i thought was cool and never gave opening it a second thought UNTIL!!a friend at the time said...hey,why are you opening that stuf,i was like??why not,needless to say,i now am plagued with the constant dilema of trying to find openers and i must say,although all my moc stuff looks great,its just no fun to keep the stuff all sealed up,yet the minute i open stuff,i get that guilty "oh you should have kept it sealed" feeling,anyone else?

I mainly open mine, but some figures look so good MOC, that I've kept a few that way. There is just something about seeing "the whole package". The art, the figure with all of its accessories laid out right there. It's almost poetic.

my experience was the exact opposite. i started off MOC only... then one magical day, i let them breathe.
it's been a blast ever since. i still keep a set MOC, but the others are a bunch of bad ass posers. in a good way. |

yes.. My name is Bobby and I have a problem... I was an opener and I laughed at the people who didn't rip into their toys, now I have a growing wall of MOC figures (both Joe and SW) and like you, I can't seem to crack one open without feeling guilty.
Thank goodness for my beautiful wife though, when she goes to the store she always looks at the toys for me and my son and if she finds some she buys 3. One for my boy, one for me and one for that darn wall... man I love her!

I agree with the poetic comment. I love the whole package. It's the feeling you get when you see it hanging there on the peg for the first time, every time. That perfect figure. in mint condition. Crisp, untouched, no dust. Love it.
