We are going to get totally damaged figures. In stores and especially when they ship to our houses. Also, this will make stealing easier. Instead of returning switched out figures, which people could still do with this new mechanism I bet despite their claims, people will probably just rip the figures off of the cardboard backing right there in the store. You won't even have to open anything.
Also, what about accessories? How are they strapped down in an open box?
Again, like eliminating plastic bubbles or trays will do a darn thing to help. Collectors now either keep them or recycle them to begin with. Toy packaging is not the problem with the environment.
It's completely stupid. It will not do a thing the deter stealing the figure. And if the figure can be opened and the tab slid out what's to stop some dipshit from just replacing the figure with another? It's not the like employees even look or care! That's what stores need to do. Require employees to actually LOOK at the figure in the box. As we've often discussed, typically repacks are comically obvious.
