                                        Don't murder anyone with it, then it won't be a toy or a collectible, it'll be evidence.

                                        My understanding is that the collectible has to still be within the original packaging and never been opened. At least that is how they do it on "Big Bang Theory".

@MsKathleen Ah, nope. That's Thor's new weapon Stormbreaker from Avengers: Infinity War. (If it could only make me look like Chris Hemsworth, I'd have it made.)
@MsKathleen For me, it was totally worth the 18 films it took to get to that point in the series (beyond the fact that those films in & of themselves were great), but tastes vary. De gustibus non disputandum est.
A problem with predicting what will be collectible is that the value of toys is based on the whim of collectors. So, a toy that's valuable today may go out of favor tomorrow.
