in box or out of the box... that is the question

How do you display your pieces? In or out of the box? Ive come to the dilemma that my limited space has pushed some boxes to the back, forever hiding them

Postby **Meth68** » Tue Jan 10, 2012 1:40 pm

I went against all of my collecting habits and took them out, I saved all the boxes. I only took them out because 1) they look awesome and 2) they could be placed back in the boxes if I want to display them differently in the future

out of the box for me, I needed extra space on the shelves... once I took out my holiday pop for my Xmas decorations at work, I decided the ones at home needed to be out.

I currently display them in the box. I made need to think out of the box on this though. ;-)

Postby **ShoMeNodder** » Tue Jan 10, 2012 1:53 pm

My pops are all out of the box with the box stored for maximum display room.

Postby **Kitzka** » Tue Jan 10, 2012 1:59 pm

99% of mine are stored out of the box as it's more versatile for me that way. I can move around the disolay without carrying a bunch of akward boxes.

the only 1 i have in the box is the chase figure i found and only because if i take him out that means that my collection of 'only' villians is out the window.

i wanted to try out of the box but my girlfriend was against it.. other than a whole alot room... i agree with her to just keep them in the box. POP!'s package really allows you to display them in the box pretty good.
good stuff!

This is how mine look! I go with out of the box, but still use the box for display! Ps in using a new app to reply so I apologize if the picture doesn't work! Lol!

Works for me! Looking good, too!!!

Postby **groundhog7s** » Tue Jan 10, 2012 3:25 pm

I've currently got mine in the box, but I think given time that might change. I'll probably end up with them all in the box with a loose one in front of it also.

Postby **akaSID** » Tue Jan 10, 2012 4:17 pm

I save all the boxes...buy mine are all displayed OUT of box...so they can breathe!!!!
(nothing worse than suffocating POP!)

I like to mine IN the box, then out a little and then right back in. Ya dig?

All my POP! are displayed out of the box and I store the boxes in the closet. I do keep one POP! in its box and that is the "A Cloclwork Orange" POP. It is due to Brian signing the box and him writing "6 of 12" on it.

The POP! are so small that I think myself they look better out of the box.

Otherwise all my other Funko is in their boxes ;-)

I went and had Santa and Rudolph that I got for $2.46 each but wanted the rest so I could have so cool holiday ones to set out. When the rest arrived my wife told me I could not take them out for decoration during the holidays cause I made a set now

I plan to keep my Disney POP in the box though. With my little ones around they just seem safer that way LOL!

I was just thinking about this too when I saw this thread.

I really like the Disney POP boxes - the artwork is really nice. Unfortunately, a couple of the boxes I got are damaged - some are ripped or dented. Haven't taken any of them out yet, although since the boxes aren't sealed, I suppose you can take out to admire and put them back in when you're done without destroying the box.

I'm keen on keeping them in the box for display, but some of these great displays here really have me considering otherwise - thanks for sharing!

All of my pops are in-box, but it’s gotten to the point where I have way too much to keep them out the box and then save the boxes I would need an extra room lol

. I would love to have some out of the box thou.

Postby **kingdomcustoms** » Sun Feb 18, 2018 8:36 am

Mine are all oob, don't have the boxes for all of them anymore. Still got the boxes for some of the more valuable ones, but my wife and I have reached the point of liking a lot of releases but only buying the ones that we never intend to sell, from our favourite movies. Its allowed some amazing deals to be found on oob Pops as well, which is always great! Definitely wouldn't have the OG White Ranger or Belle if we were in-box.

Mine are OOB too and you’re right, when they’re OOB they’re much more affordable!

Best bit. I'd rather buy them in-box as its oddly enjoyable taking them out of the box, but its great getting a good deal.

I do both....I wont pause for a second to buy an OOB pop that I want if the price is right.

Postby **Strending625** » Sun Feb 18, 2018 9:24 am

Way to necro an old thread... lol

I'm OOB. There is so much detail you miss in box and it saves a lot of room

Postby **TriFeckTa** » Sun Feb 18, 2018 9:24 am

I love getting two of each when i can. One for oob and one for in-box

Postby **JoeJoe88** » Sun Feb 18, 2018 9:34 am

All out of box for me. I do keep my boxes, though. Pops can be placed back in their boxes extremely easily.

Got to agree with you out of box the articulation on the pops keep gettin better an example Aladdin hiding loaf of bread behind his back

in-box. Having nearly all boxes be the same size is the smartest thing funko ever did. I don't think I would be a collector if they weren't.

I'm strictly in box.

Postby **drehill** » Sun Feb 18, 2018 11:39 am

So much easier to dust when they're in box, and I think they display better...uniform spacing, balance and an overall collector vibe. The clutter starts to set in quickly when Pops get loose and for some reason they just look more like cheap toys IMO.

Postby **Yassiefay4** » Sun Feb 18, 2018 12:45 pm

In box for about 90% of my pops where we have them in their own room haha. The other 10% are displayed in our living room. I do take them out to take pictures though. I'm not so picky about the boxes but my bf is the opposite lol

Postby **omarwinkie** » Sun Feb 18, 2018 12:55 pm

I display mine in box, I don't want to bend or rip the box trying to get the figure out or back in.

Postby **Stat32111** » Sun Feb 18, 2018 12:56 pm

I'm mostly in box, mostly commons are out of box but the more rare ones stay in box

Postby **Squird** » Sun Feb 18, 2018 12:57 pm

out of the box, but in the insert is the best way to go.

Postby **levixkelly** » Sun Feb 18, 2018 1:54 pm

In box for me, but I can understand why people take them out of the box.

Postby **Jenster521** » Sun Feb 18, 2018 2:01 pm

I guess I’m an in box collector that takes them out of the box for pictures but then puts them back in the box after. Lol. It’s easier to store and keeps them from getting dusty. Until I can get the right amount of shelves, it’s just easier to stack them on top of each other.

Postby **mel** » Sun Feb 18, 2018 2:14 pm

Out of the box is the best way to honor the figure and it just looks so much cooler, not like a wall of boxes. So much detail goes into the Pops these days, you really don't honor it by leaving it in the box and hiding half of it. In order to honor the box art as well, I like standing them in front of their box when the box art is cool.

Postby **Hauckbuster007** » Sun Feb 18, 2018 2:31 pm

This is really just personal preference. I feel that the pops are way better displayed out of the box I know there are diehard box snobs out there that want to preserve the toy and the box condition and display inside the box.

I have my collection about half in and half out of the box. The choice is really up to the collector.

Postby **Stitch626** » Sun Feb 18, 2018 2:38 pm

OOB for me.
