I'm the retro collection target audience, so grabbing that one for sure and interested to see how the line develops.

I was thinking more about the never-ending debate on plastic-free packaging, I know people keep bringing up being able to inspect the paint. While that's nice, to me it's always been more about the nostalgic tradition of what an action figure is (hence why I like retro cards so much), and the display bubble/window is just ingrained in my mind.

BUT...there's another plastic free option that checks that box for me that honestly I'd probably prefer. I'm an OG Star Wars collector (there at the start), and sometimes you'd get the normal carded figures, but there were also times when cool stuff might just come in a plain white mailer box. Sometimes it was stuff like little JC Penney 4-packs, or mailaway stuff like Boba Fett and other figures. Loose figures in a box, no cards. I think I've seen that format with other figures over the years as well, so the concept is probably no stranger to many.

Obviously that's not fully compatible with the residual brick and mortar sales that still exist today at places like Walmart where you need some visual packaging that induces sales. But if I'm buying online, I'd rather get a proper blister card or a plain mailer. And if the answer to that is, why the heck would I care then if I get a plain mailer versus a sealed "plastic-free card/box" since the figure is coming out anyways...purely the principle of the matter, it was a forced move on customers for their own interests.
