I think it's a sickness to keep these things in boxes.

I bet not one of those batteries has leaked, not one.
Lol, the longest my fig stays in its box when I first get the figure is about 5 mins, Im like a big kid when a new HT box gets delivered 
and yes imo its very weird to keep your figs in boxes and not open them ever, even unaturall.

Collecting MISB for HT is kinda pointless unless you're in it only for reselling.

That crazy. Unless he wants to resell the figures in the future, what's the point of buying these figures just to keep them in a box? Regular fgures I can understand. You can at least look at them in their packages.
Anyways back on topic, I think this figure is really awesome and glad I didnt pay around the $300+ price for the Stark figure from the first film.
seen the Tony Stark display at Toy Hunters , the inhand sculpt looks good. the base is big with the card board looking outer ring is massive
Do you think they ll set it up with the complete hall of armours the figures and everything eventually?

Have you known toy hunters to ever put up a background that wasn't included?
I really hope so

5 minutes!? That is about 3 minutes longer than me
Good point, maybe they decided to include it after the specs were released.

The fashion doll hobby is FULL of NRFB collectors. Barbie collectors especially are really bad about this.
At least with things like Barbie, you can see the product through the clear front of the box even if you dont open. Many other doll manufacturers intentionally put the product in a carboard box, because they WANT the buyer to debox and actually enjoy the product.
I cant put my finger on it, but it strikes me that people who have dozens if not hundreds of expensive NRFB figures are maybe.... not quite right in the head. It strikes me as obsessive, hoarding behavior.
A lot of them say that they keep NRFB because they are expecting the item to go up in value and they want to make a killing later. Well, speculating in collectibles is a fool's errand if I ever saw one. That's not usually how it works.

Whilst it's true that one or two may skyrocket in value (the Mk VI, Twoface and for quite a while the DX02) for a relatively short time, the vast majority will never ever even retain retail value.

I would never spend that much money on a figure with the thought of selling it later...
First off, you can't see it through the box and second, how can you enjoy something with the constant thought of only keeping it for a while, before you sell it again? It's like borrowing something. You know it's not yours and you have to let go of it at some point.
That aside, I pre-ordered Tony Stark. Had to cancel my Mark VII pre-order for it, but I have no regrets. Might buy some parts of the Mark VII once people start parting them out. I do like the armor's arm-weapons and might get the Tony Stark headsculpt too, just to have more display options for my other Iron Man figures (not that I got many of them... ;_; ).
