Dogpound in a Fishface box

I am a long time turtle fan but I've been away from the fray for some time. I love the new series that Nick has put together 'cause it's gotten me back in touch with how fabulous these characters are and how incredible the new figures are. I've been really impressed with the detail, the fact that each turtle is different, and that they're much more intense. I always thought that the older turtle figures where just a bit too campy. These new figures are way more real...if mutant turtles that happened to be teenagers and ninjas could be real.

Ya know, now that I think about it, no two of those things together have ever existed, that I know of. Mutant teenagers may have the best chance.

But anyway, I went out and bought a bunch of the figures yesterday and have been so torn about opening the boxes. I thought for sure I'd tear them all out when I got home, but I stumbled across something that made me stop in my tracks. The store had Dogpound, and I bought the last one, but he's in a Fishface box. And it's totally legit. I checked carefully and it's the original package from the "factory", but it's the wrong backing.

What do you guys think? Should I just say, "ah, whatever" and rip the thing open so I can appreciate Dogpound in all his glory, or should I hold on to this anomaly and keep him in his erroneous package?

I've never been a collector...at least, not one that takes very good care of his toys, but maybe he's worth holding onto.
