    Yes, it's just a plastic blister/bubble cover a plastic insert tray. Nothing is glued down. It has fold over tabs which are then secured by sticky tape. Once you break the seal (tape) then you unfold the tabs to remove the bubble. You can place the bubble back on and the fold-over tabs keep it attached to the card so that you can display it MOC (although not MOSC).

    What irritates me with Hasbro is how they have partial fold-over tabs on some carded figures but then the rest of it is glued on - which kinda makes the whole idea of having fold-over tabs redundant; e.g.: Hasbro's carded movie Transformers.

    Cool, thanks.

    And yea, I know what you mean, the top and bottom of the bubble is glued on while the sides are tabbed and taped. They may as well glue the whole thing down if they're going to do that.

    Isn't that the same half a$$ formula they have for everything?

    Look at Classics Astrotrain, his colors were compromised because of realism but they still added the purple killing the whole concept of realism. The same goes with Universe Powerglide, they changed the colors but still added very unrealistic orange lights that kill the illusion.
