So. . . . . only children get the shitty plastic free packaging loot box scamming now? I guess some of us are gonna get the Windowed packaging back either way.

Oooh, the mods posted a News thread about it on Front Page just a few secs ago.
https://news.hisstank.com/2023/04/06...assified-81124 I guess this thread is kinda pointless now. *Edit: Nvm, it just leads to the Gi Joe Classified Thread. Anything we comment there will be buried.

Get ready for another price hike during celebration reveals. This is just Hasbro's "look at the monkey" in the form of "we listen to fans".

Wasn't the plastic free packaging all about the environment? I find it kind of comical how they pivoted away from that pretty quickly. Cardboard or plastic packaging never impacted me as I always open. Just think it's one of those things Hasbro did to get on board with the virtue signalers and now they realize it's impacting their bottom line and they want to save face by listening to the wants of their consumer base.

From the press release: "The new windows and blisters will be made from bio PET or recycled PET helping us achieve our priority of meeting our fans? expectations for extraordinary packaging and superior design while still developing packaging that minimizes waste and the use of virgin plastic."

why wasnt made from recycled plastic before. it's not like the reduce re0use recycle movement hasnt been around since i was 8 years old (32 years ago) and companies, hasbro included, were like "hey, check out our action figures with antipollution and earth conscious themes!"
this isnt as great news as hasbro thinks it is. they're saying they're late to the party. |

All of that virtue signaling does none of that.

Why is a corporation giving a shit about environmental problems "virtue-signaling?" That's a shitty attitude and a bullshit way of seeing it. We need corporations to care about this stuff because it's the only way any of it is going to be solved in this corporate lap-dog society. Lord knows the average lazy, entitled American ain't gonna do shit about it since we're all too busy fucking around with inconsequential horseshit. Americans oughta be applauding such behavior from companies, but we're all so brainwashed with lame generic platitudes and nonsense we can't see or think beyond. "Oh, my toys are being affected by this! *whine, snivel, outrage*"
