    To open or not to open

    I love classic Doctor Who and Mego type figures so it's actually strange that I've not gotten around to collecting the Bif Bang Pow line. My quandry is that I pretty much collect loose and most of the ones you find are carded. I don't really have the display space for carded but I hate to open figures on decent cards. What to do?

    Oh, I think I have a solution, touch them, and I'll bet they'll just all come off those cards. The glue wasn't the forever kind.

    Seriously I treasure my carded set but they hang on the wall in the studio and I get a bubble escapee every fortnight. I should put them down...

      I have not kept up with BBP pricing as of late. Are they spendy enough that you feel you need to try to keep them on the card? If they have that level of desirability, I would bet they keep a pretty good amount of value even if off of card. Maybe do like Palitoy suggested and see if you can get the bubble off pretty clean. Save the cardback if you intend to resell.

        " The glue wasn't the forever kind."

        Yeah, I noticed that too with my Spector Dark Shadows figures. And those were not cheap. That said, seeing their clothing tailoring in hand--it's exquisite compared what to we're getting now.

          I had a Cyberleader that I looked at too hard and the bubble fell off so that might be the answer!
