Blue shirt troopers definitely need a re-release, of some sort. Give them a retro release, looking more like their original figures, and with the Dragunov rifle.

I hope so. I passed on Crimson Viper because of the packaging but I'd get a window version. Same goes for Scrap-Iron.

Maybe re-releases inserted into new waves more than a year after the original release could have sepia toned packaging with a red "Declassified" stamp down the numbered side.
If it's a re-release of a main character it could also have a "Top Priority" sticker so Hasbro can telegraph to newcomers that those are ideal first purchases. I wouldn't expect anything like this for years, though. |

Like i said i get it ?in box collector ?but if you really wanted it in your ? collection? wouldnt you have just bought it anyway it just seems weird to me because i buy 2 of each fig no matter what one to open maybe another to keep/customize later . In box only collecting these days is something ill probably never understand . 95# of classified stuff isn't worth anything on the after market now or will ever be and cardboard windowed or not is still going to break down warp and windows will get scratched up no matter what .. it just seems like a fools folly IMO to collect figures only if they are in a certain type of packaging . No offense @ all it just makes no sense to me . You collect how you do it makes you happy and at the end of the day thats all that really matters .

I think it's foolish for grown men to play with toy figures and pose them on the shelf. We all collect differently.

There's no wrong way to collect. Let's try not to let personal opinions about it start arguments or anything.

I wasn’t trying to start an argument I was stating my opinion no where on my post did i make fun or was i disrespectful about it I said it doesn’t make any sense to “ ME “ for somebody to not pick up a figure based on its packaging if you collect then you collect if it’s a figure you want and you don’t buy it based solely on packaging . Then thats how you collect .. okay
But then again i dont collect cardboard .

But then again i dont collect cardboard . I thought the same thing for black series. They had orange borders. Then blue borders. Then changed style of box. It would drive me crazy not having them all look the same.

It might not be about the figure but rather how the collection looks when being displayed. For example, if you collect Classified and keep them in box you have a disjointed display with window packaging, non window packaging and now back to window.
