Interesting backtrack by them. Plant based plastic isn't a "solution" either though. Still doesn't decompose, just falls apart creating more micro plastics in 100-500 years. I'm not sure how a plastic toy company is supposed to balance plastic packaging so it all just feels like a PR stunt.
Found Fennec at Target, the only one from the wave. Face paint is terrible (eyes are off target). Annoyed that the wrists of this figure are articulated and those on Reva (a larger figure) aren't. |

Some of you are missing the point. They are doing this with the stuff like legends and classified because it is more of a chance of getting thrown away therefore adding more to the oceans. Collectors buy the vintage collection and retro mostly and I bet 70% if not more get left on the card therefore not winding up in the backyards. Yeah plant based still sucks but at least they are using less with the other stuff which means less going out. They could do more and it could be a PR stunt but at least they are doing more than a lot of other companies do.

I know I am in the minority here, but I am actually very disappointed by this.

i literally do not care how they package figures. i open them.
it was really disingenuous how yakface was using the 5poa figures in these non window plastic packages on clearance because no one wanted the toys because of the packaging - where the were the 5poa gimmick toys that end up on clearance soon anyway; where the marvel legends figures still have the window packaging and always have. the whole argument against whatever hasbro was wanting to do - the only merits to it was "quality control" and "making sure that figures werent swapped." but with the fact that buying figures in a store has been nearly impossible the last few years "quality control" is lost with preordering online anyway. now people are going to complain the plastic isnt clear enough. i have a freaking pile of clear plastic toy packaging in my garage if anyone feels this strongly about needing it, maybe we can work something out. im probably not going to get to making spaceship windows like i thought i would; and if i can make some money...i might be open to selling them. |

A TVC card back revealed some sort of cloaked Luke from something like Imperial Light Cruiser. What? I thought it was gonna be the Mandalorian finale Luke.
Thank goodness for all those who kept "bitching" about this and letting Hasbro know what they want. |

I think that's referring to Moff Gideon's Imperial light cruiser where the finale took place (as opposed to a locale designation they normally use like Luke (Bespin)) , so it is the Mando Luke
