I collect action figures as well as old/new videogames and systems.
My action figure collection has grown to over 300 dating back as far as 1990. I have several figures that have increased in value and worth over $100. I collect mostly super hero/villians and videogame chars as well as some anime figures. Most of my collection, I'd say 90% are still carded...meaning they are still in blister packs. I display them pegged just like they were on display at the store. This is not a hinderence because I do not play with or pose my figures...they are just for display. Here is a sample pic of my collection:
I am currently running out of room, so my collecting has slowed down considerably.
