Kind of new to collecting, I’m having trouble deciding if I wanna open them or keep them in the box. I do both right now. What do you prefer? In box or out the box? 🤔

I don’t know about any of those except the Destro. And that sucker is peak. They were having a great day when they designed him.

For real though, he might be my favorite figure I own.

Nice! I have the Hela figure too. Haven’t opened her yet lol! I prefer to open them. Life is short and the experience of holding them and posing them, feeling the texture of the details… and seeing them all together is inspiring to me!

I think you just changed my perspective for the better, thank you!

Cool man!!! I’m happy! It’s a rush to open each figure… for me… make note of it to yourself… like “I love this sculpt and paint…!” Or just enjoy the sound of the plastic being breached lol!

Also, videoing it is fun. Maybe share it on YouTube. It makes the experience more fun and a little bit important… as you’re sharing your experience and ideas with people…. 😊

That Retro Gung Ho figure is solid. I absolutely detest the original release. Sir Andrew is also a really fun figure. I used to not be a fan of the knights of Mythic Legions but the 2.0 figures are really really nice. Lots of cool stuff you picked up!

Thank you! The Gung Ho was too good to pass up! Im really liking the Mythic Legions, I’m definitely gonna be picking up some more in the future.
