    Custom box = Giant hassle?

    I have seen many BEAUTIES here when it comes to Mego cards and boxes, as well as Jim stuff and others.
    (And via Google I have seen some *****in SW vintage repros...like a custom card and bubble for Salacious Crumb -?! )

    My question is, would it be mucho expensive or too much of a pain in the can to do a repro box for Ooze-It?
    I can gather a 'portfolio' of every internet picture that is available of the packaging, if this would act as a 'guideline'?
    (I really dont know anything about this process...I'd imagine that with Megos, the custom box creator has the template in-hand, not sure how this would all work going strictly by photographs....)

    If anyone has any ideas, or would like to take this on, I'd love to make it happen!
    (I can of course pay CASH, or I'm also glad to swap toys or whatever...)

      ^ SERIOUSLY Dave? I thought it would be a major hassle because it's NOT the traditional 8"-12"....


      Unless my memory has completely corroded, the box is about 1/2 the length of a 12-pack of beer/soda, and about 3/4 the thickness...

          ^ Perfecto, thanks! There are various other shots here and there....from different angles...I'm wondering what something like this would cost?
