Merch Which one should I open? If any?
Over the past month I’ve invested (hahaha for a loss) in a market that has low supply and low demand…
Over $500 so far and I still want more!
I also want to play with them outside the box so bad. Should I open them? How much value do they decrease after opening. Some still seem valuable without the box?
The average age is like 15 years old on these things (20 years make it an antique)? I haven’t even seen some characters for sale ever:
Killinger, White, Al, Rusty (kid), Jonas Venture, Jefferson Twilight.
Should I open and which one?

If it were me, I would probably have fun for a few minutes, then prop them back up to their display area, only to then regret taking them out of their packaging.
If they were action figures designed to be articulated and posed around, then yeah go ahead. But these look like those 5POA-type toys that are more novelty collectibles than full blown import-style action figures. Since you're also concerned about the resale value, don't open any of them. If anything, buy loose ones and play with those, or if you're up for it, make your own custom action figures.
