Earlier this week, the
Hasbro Marvel Legends team held their latest livestream, a "
Fan First Tuesday" (
Didn't it use to be 'Fan First Friday'? or was it Monday...), where they announced a plethora of
new cool figures, along with
new packaging and
new prices, which were met with quite a lot of
controversy from said fans.
The
new packaging, as shown here, will be more
eco-friendly and
use less plastic, which means that they will not have a window at the front showing the figure anymore, and will be
all cardboard. Now, we are all totally for
saving the planet and
trying to reduce waste, but a lot of collectors still thought that it was not the best way to handle it. From experience, we can already tell that there are lots of
nefarious "figure swappers" that would buy a figure, grab what they want from it, put another lesser figure back in the packaging and bring it back to the store for a refund...
and they were doing already doing that when the boxes had windows!
To be at the front of that problem,
Hasbro unveiled their new idea: the
Marvel Legends Mystery Boxes! That way, you won't be disappointed if the thing you find in your packaging is different from the one displayed on the box, since it will always be a
surprise! Is it the
Spider-man figure that you wanted? Or is it a box full of
plastic spoons? A
diaper, perhaps? You'll only know once you open it!
