    Packaging Shifts?

    In the spirit of "One Extra Figure" I thought I'd take it a step further and ask if you could change a Mego package, which would it be?

    For me, I'd have liked solid boxes for everyone, Superheroes, Knights, Star Trek, Apes, etc. No photos, just illustration, hopefully by Gray Morrow or Hall Shull.

    Anyway, what would be your ideal packaging situation?

    An FF 4 pack would have been nice in the gift set catagory maybe with a Baxter Building background...or flying bathtub packaging.

      I would get rid of all LARGE CARDS (Treks, Apes etc) ... and have them all on standard Hero size smaller cards.

      12" Figures ..... I'd get rid of the flap and make the box look more like a standard WGSH 8" box.

          I'd change the cards to look more like the Palitoy cards with an action type shot rather than head shots.
          Twin packs like a Batman and Robin set, Cap and Falcon set and maybe a villian set

            Have the Palitoy carded apes reflect the carded figure...
            "Ph'nglui mglw'nafh Cthulhu R'lyeh wgah'nagl fhtagn"

            In the Southeast Pacific, lies the sunken city of R'Leyh. There lies C'thulhu waits to return to our world with the other Great Old Ones. A hideous creature of enormous size and alien power, it waits for it's time to return patiently. For it has all the time in the world while it waits for the stars.

              I gotta agree with Tim. I really like the action poses on the Palitoy WGSH cards.

                I'd like coffin boxes for all the figures, window front with Gray Morrow or Neal Adams art on the backs.

                  Would be nice if they had backgrounds on the reverse of carded figures that went together with others to have a sort of playset...Space 1999 figures could have backgrounds that joined to create a main mission, Star Trek the bridge etc

                      For the cards: Kresge cards with Palitoy art
                      For the 12" boxes: Loose the flap and change the color for Batman. Pink really doesn't work for the Dark Knight.
                      For the 8" boxes: Change the pink again and solid boxes with different art

                        I think that would have been cool, a little incentive to "collect them all!" I think I would have also put a little comic story on the back of the boxes, or at least an insert of a comic.

                        'Cos I believe, I believe that I do,
                        Yes, I can see I believe that it's magic
                        If your mission is magic your love will shine true."

                              A four pack would have been nice. I'll add to that by wishing that on the back of said four pack,they had a printed "stage" for the figures.
