Enclosed printers usually contain slightly smaller or more expensive volumes, but you can easily print a wider range of materials such as ABS. However, for new people to the hobby, printers without boxes are much easier. First of all, newbies really should begin with PLA because it is very easy to print with. You can build custom boxes for very cheap purposes, some people just recycle large carton boxes when they feel like moving on. Here is a useful guide about 3d printer. Open printers are usually less expensive. I would say that a printer without a box would be your best choice for your purposes because of the lower cost, the larger build volume and the lack of experience. Some materials like ABS are shrinking very badly, sometimes making it hard to build items which match like bobble heads or figures. You should therefore start with PLA. I hope that helps!
