In this episode of Five Idiots Talking Toys, the crew dives into one of the most controversial topics in the action figure community: Is opening a sealed, vintage toy an unforgivable sin?The debate is fierce! We discuss the collector who compared opening a Mint on Card (MOC) figure to "poaching ivory," and we go around the table to see how each idiot feels about breaking the seal on classics like Vintage Star Wars figures, including the dilemma of busted blisters, rare Tri-Logo cards, and the famous Last 17 figures. Plus, we explore how different communities like LJN Wrestling collectors handle the "open or sealed" question and the complicated process of restoring figures (bleaching and yellowing plastic!).Join the discussion! We want to hear from you in the comments: What’s your line? Would you open a $300 figure if the card was already trashed?☎️ Leave a question, comment, or show idea on our new FITT Voicemail line: (732) 800-1977Find us on your favorite podcast app!0:00:00 - Intro & Channel Shoutouts0:03:00 - The Vintage Toy Opening Controversy0:05:55 - The "It's Yours, Do What You Want" Argument0:09:45 - When Does Package Damage Make it Okay to Open?
