Personally I like the retro cardbacks from the different lines. Especially ML where they call back to different eras of toys with their different retro cards.
So while I like the idea with Classified, I lean more towards Robimus' take. I like the Classified boxes for ease of opening/repacking. Also they have some of the best art of any current retail line.
However I'll probably still cave and get at least some of the retro carded figures. |
I get the nostalgia thing but is it really nostalgia considering 6 inch Joe's never existed back in day? so slapping them on a vintage card trying to bank on nostalgia doesn't make much sense to me. But hey, I guess I'm not the audience this stuff is geared towards. I never really cared for packaging. Never did. Though I will say I do prefer the collector friendly boxes now days to the card backs like Robimus said. Simply cause it's easier to store and resell if needed. Though at the same time, the boxes take up more room than loose figures so I'm kind of torn lol.
