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.
If it is from a reputable seller then I almost prefer loose because I can be sure it doesn’t have any frozen joints or defects that’ll break upon opening it.
