To me it looks more like a cadillac box than Mint In Box...one that's falling apart.
Honestly, I need suggestions of what to do with it...She is dirty and kinda messy (I have tried to push at least her hair back into positon) and I mean dust dirty...Do I keep her like this? or is she too far gone? should I "open" her and wash her? If I do she would probably become the last pony I ever deboxed, unless i get a hold of another which is in a bad state and need to be opened.

Hmm... Technically she's still in the box, but the box is obviously so broken down she isn't being protected or really contained... With the condition of the box I think it's a little like.... having a pony whose bubble has been torn off the backcard and is hanging by a thread. I would say debox.

If you are keeping, I would say debox her, clean her up and keep the box.

But if selling, I would leave her as is.

[Sakuyamon]

Yea I was leaning to keep her whatever happens. I already have a loose one which I would rather sell.
And yes I do agree, she dont really have any protection at all the way she is. But im still a bit unsure about it.

Yes her box is in terrible condition and she is a little free to the world for MIB, but she still holds more value like that than being loose and complete. If it was me, I would leave her that way to be honest or simply look to sell her and then replace her with a complete and loose version. She is of course not MIB value but to someone she will still be super sought after.

You could very gently vaccuum out all the dust and then put her in a box suitable for storing collectibles, or a glass cabinet or something to keep her nice.  Deboxing is a personal choice, but it does lessen the value even for a package this far gone.

Get some the canned air dusters to get the dust off, I find they work well for cleaning my collectables.

But yeah her box is in pretty bad shape. I'd still consider her value to be higher than loose.

[Sakuyamon]

I dont even know if they sell those air dusters things here and I think a vaccume would be too violent. Also, the dust that is on her is not the normal type which usually settles onto stuff...its more like ingrained dirt weirdly... i wish it would show on the photos

You should manage to get compressed air in any decent computer or even hard ware shop.  I use it all the time for cleaning everything from keyboards to if dust settles between pony's mane hair plugs. It can shift even the most stubborn little bit of dirt to be honest and if it doesnt I cant think of any other way to remove dust on cardboard unfortunately.
