Nightwatcher Packaging Variation

Heh, I was just getting on to post about this when I saw your thread. Saw it at Wal-Mart today.

What's funny is the box still has the, "Who is the mystery rider?" thing on it, even though now that the helmet is off, we can clearly see that it's Raphael.

My guess as to why they did this is sales. If you think about it, a person whom isn't familiar with the movie (kid, parent, or otherwise) would be much more likely to request/purchase it knowing that it's one of the turtles. Of course, I could be wrong. Similar things have happened where I couldn't come up with a good explanation. Most notably, this is very similar to the Ace Duck figure, which was packaged in two ways (hat on and hat off.)
