Everything inside was in decent enough condition though and the new black boxes McFarlane has been using for online-only 2packs ensures it's meaningless as an in-the-box display anyway. Just weird that the internal box had taken such a beating but was packed well and shipped in a decent box, so clearly someone had packed it in that way (I mean the darn thing was practically run over).
Actually made me glad McFarlane had made the switch for his online Gold Label 2packs. Would have been furious otherwise.
From my experience working with warehouses, the product package usually is damaged by the pickers who are always in a rush to meet productivity. The packers then put all the various picked product in the pristine premade shippers. This could be why the shipper is fine but the product is damaged.

I don't want to take this too far off topic, but I once got a Marvel Legends figure from Amazon where the package the figure was in looked like someone had played soccer with it and maybe even stepped on it, but the shipping box was completely undamaged. Glad your figures were in good shape. My Legends figure wasn't as lucky.

Shown below via asokathegeek is an in-hand look at the new Amazon Exclusive DC Multiverse Gold Label Atomic Skull vs Superman 2-pack from McFarlane Toys. You can purchase this figure set from Amazon with a suggested retail price of $39.99.Sent to EARTH from the dying planet of KRYPTON as a baby, KAL-EL was found by farmers MARTHA and JONATHAN KENT and raised as their son, CLARK. As CLARK grew up, the radiation from EARTH'S yellow sun gave him extraordinary powers, which he kept hidden. Now fully grown, he uses his powers to protect his adopted world as SUPERMAN. ATOMIC SKULL Real Name: JOSEPH MARTIN While on an experimental S.T.A.R. LABS submarine, scientist JOSEPH MARTIN was exposed to nuclear energy. Shipwrecked on a desert island, he survived by releasing deadly nuclear blasts from his mouth. His skin and muscles literally peeled off his face, inspiring him to create Super-Villain-for-hire persona ATOMIC SKULL. He regularly clashed with SUPERMAN, both alone and with criminals such as MAJOR DISASTER and the ROYAL FLUSH GANG. In recent times MARTIN reformed, fighting criminals with the METROPOLIS SPECIAL CRIMES UNIT, SUPERWOMAN, and the TEEN TITANS.

Ok, FINALLY a good looking Todd Superman. Took him only a billion tries lol. Hes done so many Supes this summer alone, but I aint mad cuz this one actually looks decent for once
I would've loved a big, chunky Ed Mcguinness version of Atomic Skull as a megafig.
I'm ecstatic for this 2-pack. I've always wanted an Atomic Skull even if this is more modern than I would have chosen. They did the same thing with this Supes that they did in the Doomsday 2-pack though and left the "S" off the back of the cape. It still looks good enough that I think I'm going to cancel my "Hush" Supes though since I know that I'm getting this.
Man he's really been going for it with the Superman figures, these days, right? That's no Atomic Skull I recognize (not bad looking, though you can see the Lex Luthor reuse all over it) but the Supes' head looks decent, which is refreshing.
