The Soapbox V: What makes a good Transformer?

[loophole]

i plan on displaying all of my animated with the side box art showing with the toy in front of it ive done it to a couple and it looks quite neat

I don't see too many wanting to display their stuff sideways...

Since the advent of Animated, I disagree. I've even seen many acquisitions posts displaying Animated and Universe as such. It's nice to have a choice . To display them front-on would take 3x the width and 1/3 the depth, not really optimized for your common bookshelf or shelf as so many of us display on. Maybe one day when I have 3x the space and I thirst for no more figures, I could do what The Damned does and put pegs in the walls and display them as such, but even then, while it is admittedly subjective, Henkei packaging still looks like loud KO packaging to me, with the effortless monotone exclusives looking even more so.

And then there's a large percentage who _open_ the toys d:

Hey! This is a packaging discussion! (In the What Makes a Good Transformer thread! )

EDIT: And there's nothing to stop anyone from displaying the packaging _as well_ as opening the toys. d:

Yes, and since you didn't get my hints, I'm not going to hint it anymore.

Packaging plays a part, but this thread has a much broader focus than the subtleties of packaging. If you want to delve into that, you're welcome to start a separate discussion about it.

what makes a good tf? This sounds like a non fan question,your not a non fan are you sir?



nah, good representation in toy form, similiar to fiction appearances helps, poseability for all modern era figures, gimmicks that don't dumb down the toy
