...there are MOC collectors. Aren't the figures for play and for you to be able to touch them instead of always just having it in a box. It just always bugs me.

Everyone has their likes and dislikes. What may be appetizing to you may not be to someone else. Its personal preference. No need for it to bug you man.

I don't see how collecting MOC figures can be any fun. I always think they must be planning on selling them sometime in the future for profit. I'm not so good with long term planning - hell we could all be dead tomorrow - so the long term investing holds no appeal to me.

Well... because in my opinion look better MOC, and they are great to get signed as well. For example I getting my Mankind and Cactus Jack signed 2morrow. You could not do that with loose figures. Also when you get to a certain age like me, it's kinda of childish to play with them.

Never understood it myself that's why I don't do it, if others find joy in it who am I to trash it.

Also when you get to a certain age like me, it's kinda of childish to play with them. If you're not going to play with them though, I don't get why you'd choose to collect dolls rather than cards, for example. Cards (or 8 x 10s) would take up a lot less room, would be a lot cheaper, and could also get signed.

But I still think they look better MOC. I do have room to put my figures around and money is no issue for me.

I collect loose for display. Better for space, i have a few MOC items (walking dead mini mates, some UFC stuff) but my wwe stuff is all loose. I prefer the look of the wwe figs loose. I have a bunch of old starting lineup figs MOC from way back in the day and other spots collectibles. Those are in storage currently.

I do mostly loose collecting. About 95% of all figs I ever got, I opened. Though now that I'm older, I can really appreciate some vintage moc figures. They hold their value, and actually increase in value unlike the vast majority of loose figs. Any loose fig that has increased in value, the moc counterpart is worth double that. Not to say that one should collect solely for equity but in a pinch, selling figs is something I've resorted to and boy, that's a time when I wished I was a moc collector.
I also think its fun to see the old packaging and no one can deny that one of the best ways to accent any loose display is with a few moc gems nearby.
I don't like mayonnaise. At all, but I understand that some people do so whatever...... But I guess no one in their right mind would keep that moc, haha.

What other people do with their figures is their business. I'm sure there is somebody out there right now trying to cram a Mattel WWE figure straight up their ass....which is why I wash all the figures I get on eBay, but that's another story.
Personally, I like my figures out of the box so I can display them and occasionally play with them a little bit if I feel like it. I can see why some people might keep them MOC, though. I do love the way the figures look in the box. But, at the end of the day, I prefer my figures out of the package.

I prefer loose. I keep all packaging because space isn't an issue and I only keep one figure per wrestler on display and put doubles back in their boxes to put on the wall.

Dude your comment made me laugh so hard!! lmao I love the way you used the mayo analogy, it actually makes perfect sense! I just ate tuna and mayo myself and lots would find that sort of thing distasteful, each has their own unique palate with distinct tastes to suit themselves!

For me, I open the ones I personally collect, but when I find rare figures, I buy them to try to sell them and I keep them MOC, because I guess people pay more for it if it is. And some exclusives I would keep MOC because most of them have really cool boxes. Like the TNA Jeff Hardy exclusives.
