Re: Twist Ties? Clip or Twist?

Twist, because I'm opening them on the way home- before I can clip.

Re: Twist Ties? Clip or Twist?

Almost always untwist. But I have come across a couple some figures where they were not only twisted, but bent over and the twisted part was twisted around itself again. I think Cybertron Prime was the most recent, where the ties literally started breaking apart while Untwisting, so I got out the clippers.

Re: Twist Ties? Clip or Twist?

That happens on almost all figures I buy now... I personally untwist, cause I am too lazy to find my clippers. Even though it takes more effort to untwist.

Re: Twist Ties? Clip or Twist?

I think I twist about 99.5% of the time, I think a few times the twist tie was so damaged I couldn't get it out so I had to clip.

Re: Twist Ties? Clip or Twist?

I use to twist, but I got to frustrated with some packaging that had literally a million twist, that I moved onto clipping. Much easier

Re: Twist Ties? Clip or Twist?

I'm an untwister. If I'm keeping the box I like to keep it complete. If I'm tossing the box, those twist ties are useful for a bunch of things.

Usually clip and shake the box / bubble until the goodness falls out.
