A while back in an effort to reduce \"\"<\/a>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.<\/p>\n

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\u2019t think they have been shown yet.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis year, in a continued effort to enhance the experience for fans of action figures and our recent steps to reevaluate our packaging goals, Hasbro created a new packaging structure for 6-inch figures.<\/p>\n

Starting in Fall 2024, fans can expect the new packaging design across G.I. JOE and TRANSFORMERS, along with premier collaboration brands Star Wars\u2122 and Marvel 6-inch collector figures. The new packaging structure features improved visibility of the figure and accessories, more robust packaging materials to protect against damage, and an improved unboxing experience for the figure and accessories. This new structure will also provide consistency across package size and design aesthetics for collectors who purchase figures across our brands.  <\/p>\n
