    They are? So no glued down bubbles?

    Anyway, I'll be box displaying these as I have the original G1 versions of these anyway, except bumblebee, but I have the keychain version of it anyway.

    I'm pretty sure my Henkei Astrotrain had some of the bubble glued down... but I think Goktimus means the boxed toys.

    Not related to minibots but my Crossover Venom had no twist ties, just a plastic shell over and under holding him in place. Unfortunately, you still have to rip the plastic off of the backing card, thanks to the indentations on each side making it impossible to slide the inner shell out easily.

    My carded henkei have not been glued at all but they did have sticky tape holding the bubble secured with the card.

    Mine are in the ship preperation stage. I can open these and know that despite my room being very very full, I can still find a place for them.

    Even carded Japanese TFs are designed to be placed back in package nowadays. But these Minibots are boxed so it's not really relevant here.
