I'd rather take the toy photography, like MP. But Titan Class, Commander Class and Kingdom/Legacy Voyager and Leader Class toys all have artwork.

Ultimately it doesn't really matter. Just release the damn toy and I'll buy it. Heck, Gens Selects gives us boring plain packaging and we still lap 'em up.
But I guess the purpose of packaging design is really more to appeal to children and more casual enthusiasts. I guess packaging design is a lot like political ads; more to persuade voters who don't have any fixed loyalty to a party vs those who do. If you're a die-hard voter for the Make Action Figures Tax Exempt Party, then they don't need to do anything to win your vote; they already have it. The same holds true for toys with us fans; they already have our brand loyalty.
