New Toy Packaging

*Kid Icarus* · 05-25-2003, 09:15 PM

What does everyone think of the new packaging (how it looks, or what ever)

I thought it was pretty cool... really easy to spot the TMNT toys out in an isle 'cause compared to everything else they're so bright.

I thought they went a bit over board on getting the giant figs stuck in to the box though.

Man, there is nothing harder than getting a giant turtle out of the box.

There's new packaging? What does it look like?

Bright and Yellow!

I kinda miss the old TMNT boxes with the characters all over it against the brick wall!

yeah just the certain syle of the old packaging made it more appealing, interesting, and I just love the style. At the same time however it amde it sort of look less official or impressive as the new ones are.

To me, the old packaging is much better. The new line has too generic of a package design for my liking. Other than the four turtles, the packages all look the same. Even the four turtles don't look much different. Just my opinion.

The old line has its pros - with character artwork in different angles, adds a little story to it.

But with the new lines, it definitely stands out, especially the Turtles ones with their heads prominantly display to the respective character.

For some reason, I like the new packages better, just because the old one's artwork seems a little.....well...disturbing with its nastiness (seems that the old gang were constantly stepping on rats, having some "Turtle soup" comments, drooling or genreally nasty all the time...or maybe it's the sewer brick wall background).
