You don't put the batteries in a collectible....

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

Lucky it's plastic then! Heavy heavy plastic... but plastic nonetheless.

@MsKathleen Not so far, but it just arrived so maybe if I ever go to a Comic-con or something.
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".

Never watched it & don't plan to.
@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.
EBay 's guide to collecting gaming merchandise recommends looking at four factors: age, authenticity, rarity and condition [source: eBay ].
