Either that or Hasbro is playing us for fools.

I prefer Neca keeps the packaging cost down to save their fans money. Bubble/blister is the way to go.

I think Hasbro's just milking all they can out of those Legends figures, I don't feel like using the thin cardboard box adds anywhere close to $8 on msrp. I could see using the box being like a few dollars more to price over using a blister card, but it can't be that much since the NECA RvT figures use boxes and they're just under $20. I guess the packaging doesn't add too much either way since Axehead from Pacific Rim is in a box yet the same price as any deluxe kaiju in the clamshell packaging. I actually think it's great that NECA toys are bigger and more detailed than Marvel Legends or SW Black Series 6" toys, albeit with less pose, but about the same price or usually just under. I like the way NECA uses clamshell for most of their lines, window-flap boxes for special releases, blister cards for the Predator line, and now just window boxes for the classic apes and RvT line.
