Interesting...
I?m sure eventually someone will find a way around this. It will be on YouTube on how to get around it and the slimey cork sucker, sun of a bastiages will continue repacking toys.

wow... So the actual back of the toys will be looking whacked... Then no plastic window huge issue many like myself prefer sealed and protected but open packaging will hurt sealed collectors. I bet real reason is cause of shortages and they raised $3 for this? Hasbro had to yet again ruin stuff in a big way... Non keep sealed collectors still getting butchered backs. Hasbro is like konami to me...

I can see this being useful on the huge transformers and the large open box figures.
Not sure how this will work on 6 inch and smaller scales. Going the clamshell packaging route seems like a cheaper and more effective route to me on those sizes. Adding a back locking mechanism to the Marvel Legends size figures seems really expensive and adds a possible unsightly blemish on the back when they could just go back to clamshell packaging. Stores can always tell when clamshells have been opened and returned. |

Don't blame Hasbro for this one. This is all at the hands of the woke world environmentalists. This will need to be done to keep Hasbro's ESG score as low as possible. The future world economy is going to change a ton of stuff - and we aren't going to like it.
Have you seen that one Black Mirror episode with Bryce Dallas Howard? ESG scores are like that - but on a global corporate level. |

All they would need to do to reduce 89% of their plastic usage is to reduce the stupidly large size of the Star Wars TVC bubbles. Ehhh what do I care, I'm done with TVC.

For all the times we've gone into stores and have seen returned figures with a hodgepodge of fake accessories in the box, the incorrect figure returned because some chud didn't want to pay for a limited edition Dusty Rhodes, so they crammed a Cowboy Bob Orton in the box and returned it someone who doesn't know or care enough at Wal-Mart, this is an impossibly obvious net benefit for Hasbro. You buy it, you open it, you own it. Simple as that. Besides, we already saw "eco friendly" packaging in the Hiss III box. It's not tamper proof, but it is the necessary and unavoidable future.

I?m sure all this is to prevent ?in store? tampering. Nothing can really stop the buy it, take it home, open it, replace what?s inside and return it. Only humans at the return counter can stop that and it?s not easy since they don?t necessarily know what any of this stuff inside....like difference between Dusty Rhodes and Bob Orton.
I think all stores want to minimize shrink in general but they all have an acceptable level and the goal is simply to keep it under that. All consumers pay the price with rising prices when it becomes higher than the accepted levels. |
