It's Official - MP-36 is a new Megatron

Long Life design feels to me its more like they have outsourced someone else to make the box then actually looking like a award or anything. It looks out of place in the picture and would have been better if they placed on the rear, but heck its a box to me but I am sure it bugs a few people.

I see some people whinging about how the "long life" logo has actually disturbed the appearance of the box. lol Quite awkward actually and ugly imo.

If anything it should be replaced with a disclaimer that the stress from transforming the figure without breaking it might cause a nervous breakdown.

Haha, I prefer to make dioramas of vintage MISB Star Wars figures

Why it's Luke, and Obi-wan, and my favourite Chewie! They're all here!

Ah, so the "Long Life Design" is an award, not a partner company. (I probably read about it way back when it happened... but I forgot)
Still, it's simple design spoils the look of the packaging... I think it should have been on the back of the box. If it had looked fancy or golden, it would have looked good on the front, and attract the attention of people... particularly those of us who don't even know about that being a notable award.

It was a news post you didn't post, so maybe you did miss it

Every time I read "Long Life Design", I get a craving for milk...

I on the contrary feel they have every right to put the award in front of the packaging. I don't mind it even it was bigger. It's an award that recognizes outstanding design, industrial design being a big part of it. The designers earned the recognition by actual industry experts, and Takara Tomy should be proud to put it on their packaging. And all of the MISB collectors who care about their packaging should be proud that there's something there to show off how great your hobby has become.

I don't kinda understand how you get an award without public even touching and agreeing it though? If this was a reissue, yes I get that
