I can't say I'm a fan of this idea.

I like to inspect figures in the store before I buy them. I'm picky. Things like paint, face details (especially eyes), accessories all accounted for, and making sure the figure is correctly assembled with all the correct parts. I can only imagine how many returns I might have to make if I'm unlucky with this blind box style packaging.

I never did end up buying a Classified Cobra Commander because every single one I saw, even while he was pegwarming, had horrendously sloppy paint. Especially the cobra sigils and the silver on his arms.

I don't mind doing minor touch ups and fixes every now and then because I can do it, but I'd prefer to save myself the time and paint by being picky about what I buy. Especially with how much these figures cost now.

This decision feels like it was made in a boardroom by people who don't know or don't care about what consequences there will be for customers, or retailers for that matter. Swappers and thieves will be a concern for sure.

I just can't imagine this being the future for all of their lines, but they seem to be committed to it.

I care about the environment and the planet like most people do, but a lot of what we see being done now feels hollow or pointless compared to the bigger picture.
