Did Hasbro outsource these to Funskool? Cause that is what the packaging feels like.

That flimsy ass box is the first thing I noticed.
I guess we were all expecting that stiff cardboard from the first 5 packs. But, they cut corners and gave us shitty boxes. The cards on single figures are stiffer than those new 5 packs. |

i never bought into the new 5 packs anyways. i mean, what the f for? another SE? a spread eagle Polly?! haha. no way. the original 25th logo 5's are the best. these new square box, velcro doohickies are for the "birds," man.
that sucks that those of you that bought them are having buyers remorse and hissing Ha$bro. i feel for y'all. Last edited by CaliBeachhead32; 03-02-2009 at 01:00 PM.. |

The boxs are crap however the price of figures have gone up, and if they can keep the 5 packs at $25 (What I paid) by making the boxes out of recycled Funskool Cards and 86ing the sound boxes I am all for it. It breaks down to $5 a figure and that's where the single cards should be.

I agree the boxes are flimsy. I'd prefer Hasbro go with minimal packaging as possible without sacrificing function. Notice the amount of garbarge after a toy haul? I like the carded figures for its minimalism. Boxed toys generate too much garbage. Those inner plastic trays are waste.

The boxes are laughably cheap and flimsy. I consider the figures to be 50% awesome, 25% wasted plastic, and 25% unnecessary but good figures.
I opened my only set because the box was all creased, but I'm still in search of a good box with good figures inside. I feel like my sets I got from bbts had way better paint apps than the ones I've found in-store, for some odd reason. |
