who does not open the packages, nor remove the blister plastic from the cardboard; As Morgan Freeman said in KISS THE GIRLS, "this guy's a collectah."
Myself, I'm an unabashed package ripper. I feel you don't technically "own" anything if it is still in its factory-sealed box.
And for my money, the most fun & "playable" toys EVER were the TRANSFORMERS, followed very closely by the GI JOE line of approximatley 4 billion figures.
Oddest toy I ever had (this was as a kid) was something called HUGO, MAN OF 1000 FACES. It was, in essence, a scary midget who came with fake mustaches and scar-appliances you were supposed to glue to his face. He was dressed in a sort of renn-faire pirate blouse-y number, for no seeming reason. I don't know WHAT the good folk at KENNER were smoking that year, but it must have been some very fine shit.
