POLL: Do you open your ReActions or leave them carded?

Postby **VulcansFury** » Fri Feb 14, 2014 7:28 pm

I love the Kenner style. I hope if there are enough openers we might see vehicles or playsets made

I couldn't decide what to do with my Alien set. They are pricier than the upcoming figures. So, I took my exacto knife and cut open a flap to remove the Alien. The quality, but more importantly, that vintage plastic smell hit me, nostalgia took over, and I opened my whole set. I can replace them in the bubble if I choose to later. Looking at the upcoming figures, I want toopen them all, but I want some carded as well, the artwork is just gorgeous!

So, what is everyone else doing with their ReAction figures?

I will buy two of each. One to open and one to display in packaging.

It's hard to say, almost every action figure I get I open, but I love they look of these in package!

Since this is not really a poll, you may want to check this out, already in progress.

Carded

Postby **punksnotdead** » Sat Feb 15, 2014 12:25 am

I open them. I'm probably going to buy 2 of both Mal and Snake because I'm a particularly big fan of those two characters. I take pictures of everything when I get it so I have nice detailed photos of the packaging. I do appreciate the packing but as a loose collector I don't have space to collect that way, at least not to any great degree.

I will open my Rocky Horror Re-Action figures.

Postby **Jeff Cope** » Fri May 30, 2014 9:56 am

I open all my figures.

What size Protech cases will fit reaction best? Star case 1 or Star case 2?

Postby **JadBean** » Fri Jul 11, 2014 10:28 am

I'm going to keep most of mine carded, unless it's a large line of figures.

I don't really like mixing licenses in my displays, so if the line has just a few figures (Rocketeer, Escape from New York), I'll keep them on the card.

If over the years we end up with a large assortment (REALLY hoping for lots of Back to the Future figures from all 3 movies), then I'll get doubles of just a few iconic ones (Doc, Marty) to keep on the card, and open the rest.

Of the card, out of the box, let them be free!

Postby **TCM Hitchhiker** » Fri Jul 11, 2014 4:13 pm

Just depends, a little of both. A few I will probably buy doubles of, one to keep carded, the other to open. But most will be opened, if I don't get doubles.

With Alien, I keep a set carded, and bought extras of the Alien and Ripley to open.

open and enjoy

Postby **MadLove** » Thu Apr 28, 2016 9:22 pm

I open all my Funko pieces and toss most of the packaging: reaction, pop, legacy, whatever. All out of the packaging, always. Free the Funkos!

Postby **newhousebailey** » Fri Apr 29, 2016 5:03 pm

How can you play with them if you don't open them?

Postby **6rick6** » Sat Apr 30, 2016 7:06 pm

I planned on just buying a Freddy Krueger and leaving it in the pack, but now I'm up to like 60 figures and had to open them all to conserve space.

Postby **Rickakatuna** » Tue May 16, 2017 10:55 am

I keep them in packaging normally but do have a few out that I really liked.

Postby **randig** » Tue May 16, 2017 12:07 pm

Gotta open em up!

Postby **bgiles73** » Tue May 16, 2017 12:37 pm

For some like Dark Crystal, I just let them open by themselves.

Postby **Moepops** » Tue May 16, 2017 12:43 pm

Mine are carded but I might open some soon. Game of thrones the wall is must have set

Postby **Mister Piggy Wiggy** » Tue May 16, 2017 2:03 pm

No. I leave them as they are.

Postby **Cosmic_Cow** » Tue May 16, 2017 7:31 pm

I'm a big fan of the cards on these so currently they're all carded... BUT... A while back I picked up a really nice acrylic display case to mount on the wall that's made for 3.75" figures so soon I'm going to be opening almost all of them and starting a nice display. The only ones I'll probably keep sealed are the exclusives and the Jaws set (I love that iconic artwork, they look so perfect).

Depends on the figure

Postby **popmad2016** » Wed May 17, 2017 11:10 am

Only have 3 in my collection - all from the Horror series...

My Pinhead is MOC and framed with a Doug Bradley Autograph.

Freddy Krueger and Michael Myers are both MOC and displayed on the wall in zoloworld cases.

So definitely a carded fan...admittedly for me the cards are 65% the appeal of the line, as imo the figures themselves ain't much to look at really...

I had a Friday the 13th Jason that unfortunately had the bubble come away from the card (not glued properly), so I just gave him away...

Postby **Treblemdk** » Wed May 17, 2017 9:59 pm

I usually open them to display just the figures. I have kept some in the package because it looks awesome overall with the backing

Postby **akagalar** » Wed May 24, 2017 5:58 pm

I leave them carded.

Postby **jagpop** » Wed May 24, 2017 6:55 pm

I leave them carded but some of those from Black Friday two years ago opened on their own... lol

Postby **post31** » Wed May 24, 2017 8:35 pm

They are open in a old MCC box and I mix and match the props all the time when I bring them out to play with them and take pictures. My favorite picture so far is aliens vs karate kid.

Postby **Tmarie_82** » Wed May 24, 2017 8:39 pm

I leave mine carded I like the way they look like that

Postby **froyomorada** » Wed May 24, 2017 11:02 pm

From an investment standpoint, smart move. ;-)

Mine is still boxed as well, though I'm sure I'll cave at some point and open them.

To be honest, I dont even think I'll ever sell it because I love Golden Girls so much. It's just that I dont know how to display them as well if I take em out. I wish i bought 2 when it went up in Target.com just so i can have one I can open and play with lol

and one to just display. But I thought it wont get soldout and wont be that limited.

Postby **mohawkjones** » Thu May 25, 2017 1:18 pm

The retro packaging is a fun touch but they are more fun out of the package.

I won't sell mine either, have really fond memories of the show and watching it with my Grandmother as a kid. Plus my Grandmother looked just like Sophia. Funny you mentioned buying more than one because I was going to do the same thing but the site only allowed me to order one. Overall, I'm just happy to have them.

Postby **Squird** » Mon May 29, 2017 7:49 pm

When I had some I took them out and mixed them in with all my other stuff. Once I found myself leaving them carded, it meant they weren't being displayed, so I sold them all.

Postby **Younger_Avenger** » Mon Jul 24, 2017 4:30 am

I only have 2. And like most of my figures, they aren't open haha

Postby **Rantt** » Mon Jul 24, 2017 8:46 am

I had the intention to inbox my 1st reaction but the box came damaged...after that all others went OOB for display.

Postby **Kfresh** » Mon Jul 24, 2017 10:05 pm

Love the reaction figures cause they look awesome unopened in Protech Star cases and signed! :razz:

Postby **rowden** » Thu Aug 10, 2017 7:59 pm

Reactions are for playing with my god-child. This became the go to Funko toy, when he once ripped open and destroyed a POP of mine...

Postby **MattyPHATty** » Sat Aug 26, 2017 11:26 am

I like to keep mine on the card not for collectibility purposes, but because it looks and reminds me of the action figures when I was a kid. All about the nostalgia
