Most Legends I open and toss the packaging anyways so it's fine for me except Andre. He still better be able to stand and not fall over when taken out of the box. It could be much worse and have windowless packaging altogether so I'm glad Mattel didn't go that route.

They could reveal legends 25 with Herc, Koko, Mr Fuji and Demolition and I would put money on it we would still have ppl here crying and complaining "Why are Hercules Trunks one shade brighter than they are?" "I wasn't aware of Koko B Ware" "Mr Fuji's bowtie is one inch down from where he has it in real life" "OMG HOW COULD THEY RERELEASE DEMOLITION NOW MY ORIGINA LEGENDS DEMOLITIONS ARE DEVALUED DEVALUED DEVALUED!!!!!!!!!!!!!1111111111111111111111111" "Why haven't they made The Killer Bees yet? Mattel is gonna lose the license now" "We should have had these guys already, Hasbro would have gotten us these guys 9 years ago" Haha couldn’t have said it better myself. I can’t remember what I wore yesterday, but we have ppl who know every color, design, this and that from 30+ years ago ppl wore. It’s crazy and weird. I mean I honestly think ppl are so bad with these figures, they pull up photo’s and compare them to the figure and look for something to get mad about. Me, I open the figure and sit it on a shelf. I rather not know soemthing was done wrong with it to let it bother me lol. |

Like you’re specifically doing KOTR 98 Mankind and making sure you’re getting the thumbtacks on his back, the grinning bloody mouth, but you don’t give him taped fists? |

A lot of stuff I don’t mind looking past. Like DX IYH HBK not having all the details didn’t bother me one bit. Dude Love shirt not really being tie dye was fine. But in a series titled “defining moments” you’d think they’d wanna get every detail of that moment correct. Especially as something as simple as taped wrists and fists. |

It looks pretty bad, imo. But it's just going in the recycling so...eh.

Looking at the Mankind from the DM set, his arm’s definitely aren’t that jacked lol. But some things do bother me when it’s badly missed, but I would never even know it unless it was soemthing as obvious as Hogan being in green trunks, other than that only way I’ll figure any of that stuff out on being wrong is ppl here. |

I trash all of the packaging anyway, so it really doesn’t matter to me, but I did like the previous version better.

Packaging is trash ... Mattel skimping on materials per usual, but claiming it as a victory for everybody ...
I truly believe that Mattel hate MOC Collectors, and this is just another reason to add to the list.

This feels like a response to Hasbro going plastic-free, so they reduced the plastic at the expense of the presentation of the figures MOC. Hasbro has since reverted on it to the surprise of nobody. At least they didn't go all the way boxed like they did, I guess. Hasbro is going back to window fronts in 2024 because of the backlash they got. |

It’s definitely better than before. Unfortunate that the window didn’t start higher up. I would have preferred to have seen Andre’s head even if we cut off his boots.

This look will take some getting used to … I like the design for the most part but it will depend on who the figures are of & how they’re positioned in the box … Hogan, Jimmy Hart & Iron Sheik look great but Andre in that packaging is awful, basically looks as though he’s just been crammed into a box that’s too small for him
