Mint in package may not drop much. The loose figures will though depending upon availability. Depends if it's a multi-pack or single figure recard. Lots of factors to determine it. Plus if there's any alterations made to the figure. If they improved on it by adding more articulation like the neck hinge, and swivel thighs, (basically a new buck) it depends how strong the demand is for the new over the previous if it's an improvement.

Star Wars is a different kind of collector's market. Super Hero figure collectors tend to gravitate towards the better rendition of characters and the Mint in package collectors are the minority for the most part. Most want them as display pieces. This is also why value fluctuates across the figures based on demand and character exposure.

Star wars is more predominately a Mint in package collector majority and historic value. There's a lot of different kind of collector markets and fan bases to take into consideration per each fandom and the type it is. It's also dependent on what's most prevalent within that market. (There's much more that can be said about this, but then this is already getting long winded.)
