Need Advice from HT Collectors: IM Mark II Collectible

[Chapter 2099]

Mark III and Mark I complete the set

Once a get a few extra bucks, I think that's what I'll be doing!

I would love to be able to get the Mark I and III. They would make a great display. And then add the Mark IV or whatever it'll be in the next movie... And then use the Stark head and buy a body and a suit and it'd be a very nice display.

Don't forget the inevitable War Machine.

I am thinking along the same lines here, just got my Mk II on Monday so now thinking I would like Mk I & Mk III...

1.) Is it safe to display these outside of their box or should I leave them boxed up? Does it hurt their value to take them out and put them on display, like some other collectibles?
Enjoy your collection, don't display it in the box because you're worried about the Value depreciating.
2.) Is there anything I need to watch out for if I do display it outside of the box? I've heard that you should pose them in such a way that puts the least amount of stress on the joints? With Iron Man I would say that is very good advice

3.) Do any of the pieces deteriorate with time if left outside of the box? I've read that some collectors have issues with parts made of rubber (ie HT Abe Sapien? )
Everything deteriorates with time, even us Freaks. Just display it in a place that keeps out most of the dust in the room , like a Detolf

Thanks for the advice everyone!

Well, the Mark II has been unboxed and....he disintegrated.

Can anyone give me insight as to the range of motion that the arms move? I'm afraid that they are going to break.

Also, any advice on how to switch out the hands? Do you just pull them out or is there a technique to it?

Edit: Figured it out!!! This is thing is pretty amazing in terms of detail!!!

Nice pic, Natrix.

First pic out of the box!

Looks like it survived the initial disintegration.

Poor guy looks lonely all by himself though.
