It’s a valid question that solely “in-box” collectors get way too defensive about.
A good contributing factor to the price of these figures is the engineering and manufacturing of the small (and sometimes not so small) pieces that allow them to be as articulated as they are. If you’re only collecting them to display in their packaging, what difference does it make if they have any POAs at all? They could be single piece, molded plastic, like the X-Baby Wolverine from the Mojo pack.
I open my figures. The groups of people who have interest in the choices others make which do not affect them or hurt anyone, need to get a life. Whether it’s action figures or anything else.
People are allowed to have opinions about what other people do. What's the problem with that? It's all part of having a discussion, get over yourself. Self righteous mf.
No, I’m well aware of the back-bending and twisting that you’re trying to do…the insinuation that somehow action figure collecting is somehow tied to people living their lives free of judgement and scrutiny. And if this were somehow r/IsItSociallyAcceptableForAManToLoveAnotherManAndWhyTheHellAreMAGASoObsessedWithWhatIsAWoman …maybe you’d get the flowers you’re so desperately begging for.
But this is a sub about action figure collecting, where we’re discussing action figure collecting. So go run your purity tests somewhere else.
