    will there be "8" boxed figures ?

    I was just wondering ,after FTC does the kresge card figures replica packaging ,Will they do "8" boxed figures ,since
    they did them in "18" scale ( for practical reasons ) .I would like them ,and buy them all again ,Unless of course Diamond/Emce
    has the exclusive rights to do boxs for their legendary superheros line .If they ever do them they can sell them in a repro counter
    display box .Of course they could only picture DC art .which makes sense .i think that would be so cool.

    I like this idea. I'd certainly buy them if they came in a box. How cool would they look on your shelf?

      There is no doubt in my mind that we will see boxed versions of every figure at some point in time.

        I'd buy every DC WGSH BOXED like I will Kresge carded! Love the original Mego 8" window boxes! That's what my parents 1st bought my DC and Marvel Megos in 1972 when I was 2!

          I think if the figures continue to sell, that would be a viable option for collectors who want that kind of presentation. I like the idea especially with the counter display option. That could be big for FTC.

            If they do these, I'd like to see at least a limited run of the window-less boxes that the very first Mego superheroes came in. My Batman and Aquaman figures came in solid boxes, circa 1972-3.

              I like the box and counter display idea a lot. With their new figures, if you give me a box or clam shell option, I'll take the box everyday.

              The problem with boxes for FTC might be that they aren't as durable as clamshells, but if individual figure boxes are sitting in shipping boxes, it might not be an issue.

                ^^ Same here. I'd go for a box every time over a clamshell. While clamshells have been mentioned and as practical as they are, for me personally, I'd much prefer a bubble factory sealed to a backing card just for that authentic 'vintage' look and feel of things.

                  I definitely hope we get boxed WGSH at some point.

                    I kind of hope they don't. You'll get people that will complain that it's just another excuse for FTC to repackage the same figure again.

                      I'd actually buy some of the WGSH if they were boxed, and they would be a little more environmental friendly, too. I prefer my toys to live free range, so all that plastic is wasted on me.
