Transformers packaging ...

To be honest, I'm not a fan of the legacy packaging. Or in that case any packaging that does not serve its purpose well.

Transformers have had ok/acceptable packaging for decades but it was never perfect. We all love and hate different things about it, some are passionate about the topic and others simply don't care.

Blistercard packaging is good and cheap but you have to cut it or tear the picture to get the toy out. Difficult to reseal for storage/display.

Boxes, especially for deluxe and smaller, are good but have added to the cost significantly (a $23 deluxe is how much now?) and without that plastic window they suffer from several issues (incl security, weak box)

getting rid of plastic. seriously, how is that ever going to work?

Based on an impressive youtube creation, a side hinged p.e.t clam shell, with space for a card insert (that can face in or out), and a blister protrusion would be ideal. Especially for deluxe and smaller figures. The clam shell would have a snap shut closure. The edge could be shrink wrapped to maybe mitigate tampering. A sacrificial snap off could also work.

The clam shell used in the youtube id the matchbox/hotwheels protector case from amazon and other places.
