Packaging is terrible. Hasbro is gonna cause massive issues at retail. I can foresee lots repacks and bad qc figs and people returning the. Retailers will quit ordering or order way way leas. Just not a bright future i see coming.

I am so happy Okoye is being offered in this wave. The only way to get her originally was as a BAF. Can't wait to add her to my shelf.

[Boogieman4hire]

That She-hulk and Namor look real nice.

[Crymorenerd]

Incoming peg warmers. Garbage wave.

yes the wakanda forever trailer shows a bit of a black panther suit towards the end most likely Shuri

If it wasn't for people stealing heads, I think the Transformers style packaging would've worked for Legends while the new Legends packaging would be better for Transformers.

Don't they have some kind of taper proof seal or something so you can tell if its been opened?

[Arachnid13]

Namor looks hot, while the new packaging looks like crap.
I’m not sure how to feel about this.

[Harbinger]

That doesnt even come close to looking like namor. Looks like some aztec priest.

Iunno, he looks pretty much just straight-up like Namor plus some jewelry to me.

Relax a little. It will be OK. If you're really concerned about tampering, the online stores (or Hasbro itself) offer the figures for same price as retail. I blind buy figs a lot. They turn out fine.

The packaging???

I'd be fine if Hasbro sold the figs in ziploc bags... at least I could re-use the ziploc...

For the retailers, one boxed figure could be displayed, you take a coupon with product ID, and a person at the toy desk rings you up while retrieving the actual figure from storage. (Like how they handle electronics at some stores).

I'm a little shocked by the controversy that the "boxes" are causing.

Agreed 100%. I despise the new packaging. I like to be able to see the figure beforehand to check the paint because Hasbro's QC is so hit-or-miss (mostly miss), so for me as a collector - which is the market Hasbro is aiming at here - this is terrible.

Plus shipping.

You must be one lucky guy, then, because the average Marvel Legends figure (hell, most figures in general, regardless of the manufacturer) tend to have QC issues, some worse than others.

[GizmoTron]

I think the packaging is fine. But I do agree about Namor, looks a bit too CW made for TV to me. Maybe if they ditch that big necklace and he ditched that mustache, I don't know?

[terryj]

Hopefully Amazon will have these, that way with Prime I get Free Shipping so no worries on extra cost, as I would buy ONLY from online anyway.

[Kernel]

I’d buy Attuma single carded but as a BAF I guess it’s all an easy pass.

Movie looks cool like they are setting up Atlantis Attacks story line.... also one of the best what if’s ever

This new packaging is stupid.

But if everyone complaining about it just joined the 21st Century they'd realize this isn't as big a deal as they think it is.

You must be the even luckier guy who gets to spend whatever he wants on gas so he can galavant to every store finding the perfectly painted action figure.

Also, if the QC issues were that bad you wouldn't be collecting them.

And just to make my opinion even less popular, I'd like to point out that after 5-7 shipments Hasbro Pulse Premium pays for itself.

This puts off in box collectors like myself, I open the odd figure, mostly I keep them boxed, I like the way action figures are packaged, card back with some cool art, plastic tray displaying the figure in all its glory, I know it’s not a popular way to collect, but there are a lot of collectors like me out there, for that reason i would never buy a figure packaged this way.

[User897]

More like wakanda forever FORGOTTEN! Lol

[Harbinger]

Man even nakia looks bad, like a rejected tron character.

Not only that but, they are going to lose sales because the figure isn't visible. We've all bought figures (probably more times than we can count) because we saw them and were like,"Oh man. Didn't plan on buy this but DAMN it looks great! BOUGHT!"

Dude I thought the exact same thing. And that Namor is an absolute freaking train wreck. Cannot stand his MCU look. TERRIBLE.

Just take the wings off the ankles and I guarantee you no one would guess it’s Namor.
