Equipment: Hasbro Introducing New Packaging for Its 6-Inch Collector Figures
A while back in an effort to reduce plastic waste, Hasbro began packaging figures in window-less boxes. Needless to say, many collectors were not fans of this type of packaging, especially since you could not see what was in the box. Personally, I had two instances where the figure had been swapped out. I have gotten to the point where I am opening the figure at the register while I am paying.
Hasbro sent out a press release regarding the new packaging. They also sent along some photos of the new packaging for Star Wars, G.I. Joe Classified and Marvel Legends. Read the press release below and check out the photos, some of which I don’t think they have been shown yet.
