I take my amiibos out of the box except for one or two that I think I bought twice by mistake. I like to use them so they do me no good in the box but they do look cool if you have a collection all in boxes.
I only have two Amiibos (Pearl and Marina), but they're both out of the box since I wanted to scan them into Splat3! If I was displaying them, I'd rather keep them in their box, but I definitely want any in-game perks that they have, since I think it makes it more fun!
Most Amiibo I’ve taken out of the box so I can actually use them, I have no interest in keeping any specifically in their boxes for collectible reasons etc. There are a few I’ve left in the boxes.. but they’re only Animal Crossing ones, because I got them when they were kinda useless during the Wii U area, and haven’t felt the desire to open them even for The Roost in NH.
Boxes take up too much space. 7 out of 8 amiibos in my house are displayed neatly in one place as a Splatoon family and Tom Nook is standing on a shelf in another room with some other figurines.
I don't have room for packaging so out of boxes they go. I only have my favorites, and since they're relatively cheap figures, I don't baby them like I would something more expensive.
I have mostly animal crossing amiibos, Kirby, Meta knight from smash, flying Meta knight, Dedede, Wolf Link, Marina, Pearl, Callie and Marie and a treasure goblin from diablo. All out of the box, I only have one I keep in its box, it's a big detective Pikachu, I like the box because I can set more Pikachus on top of it for display.
I don't have any anymore, but when I did I always unpackaged them. Leaving them in the box seems kind of..... eh. Unless I happened to be the most extravagant collector ever for some bizarre reason and had one of every kind in existence. I wouldn't bother otherwise.
EDIT: I need to clarify, however, that I'm only talking about my personal preference here. I would never judge anyone else for keeping them in boxes. If it makes you happy then go for it! I mainly just meant that I wouldn't ever do that myself unless I had a collection of every last one.
I have Animal Crossing and Zelda (Botw/TotK) amiibos, but I keep them in their boxes; Not necessarily for higher resell value since I'm most likely going to keep my amiibos, but I never really needed to use them. I think they look great in and out of the packaging, though. ^.^
My brother has Smash Bros. and Metroid amiibos, but he also kept them in their boxes for the same reasons. They're displayed in the living room on our collectible shelf.
I have the original release of Smash Bowser and one thing I’ve discovered is that the way they posed him allows other Amiibo to be able to stand on top of him perfectly level. So you could have a Mario Amiibo stand on top of him looking like he’s being jumped on.
I keep them out as I would use them regularly. I don't have a favorite, but if I'd have to pick, maybe Celeste. It's not something I'd keep in a box as the aesthetic isn't something I'd display.
the packaging can get kinda bulky so i usually store most of my amiibo figures in a decorative box and keep it by the tv for easy access. there are a few i have scattered around my room that i use as decor cause they're super cute as figures c:
I’ve have a few of my Amiibo out as decor. I currently have Sora, Bayonetta, Sephiroth, and Cloud facing each other as if they are getting ready to fight.
I have a few, but not many and I got rid of all the packages they came in. I also got some custom made cause I thought they were super cute. I have Kumatora from Mother 3, and Kiki, Hazel, Buck, and Frita. The quality is really good.
