If they could put some ankle hinges and wrist swivels on these new O-Rings at some point, that would be just about perfect. Wait, have I said this before...? ;)

They don't have to stop carding them. The toys themselves are obviously plastic, so if they put a single carded figure in a slim box with no plastic visible - the in-box packaging is then just part of the "collectible".
I don't think the carded bubble figures are DOA. Classified, as a relatively new initiative, can flip the new Hasbro figure boxes. But you think they're gonna stop repainting figures and putting them on the jumbo 6" throwback cards? When they did the Amazon Star Wars 6" throwback, they put them in a mailer-style box. Because there are carded collectors and they'd be fools to toss that cadre out with the bilge water. This is great news. Last edited by TheRealDubya; 07-21-2022 at 03:08 PM.. |

But they often do have that jutting "ape-ass" posture due to the o-ring. Neither one is perfect.

As I said. I mis-predicted that they would bother with a box at all.
This is great news. Attachment 205143

Only when the o-ring is the wrong size and too tight. That can be easily fixed. When the figure's neck is molded to the torso at a downright bizarre angle, there's nothing to be done about that.
