Your favorite package/box illustration?

My favorite art was always from the Superman the Movie 12" figures.

Well you know I am going say the Palitoy Zorro box art

My favorite Mego packaging is probably the 1975 WGSH Marvel card, especially the pics on the back. I stared at them for hours and used to try and draw them as a kid.

Also, I love the Micronauts packaging. I have little interest in collecting that line without the boxes/cards because that's such a big part of it's appeal to me.

I love the Shogun Warriors boxes, I can stare at them for hours even now and wish I had them all!

I like the 1960's & 70's Board Game packaging that showed children playing with the toy & they're always SUPER-EXCITED, good times!

I have lots of favourites, but this one has special meaning to me:



I accidently broke my first Johnny West figure that summer (about 1974 or 75) and was heartbroken. Johnny was more than a toy, he was my best friend, and I dreaded a future without the plastic cowpoke along for the ride. The toy line was starting to fade in popularity by this time, and I just couldnt find a new Johnny in the local toy departments...I thought I was sunk. Then, on Christmas morning I opened a package set prominently in front of the tree, like Santa meant it to be opened first...and there I found myself looking at the above package. Johnny was back in the saddle! My Sister received Princess Wildflower that year, so the Best of the West rode the range that Christmas Day.

The BIG Jim (French & Italians versions) from 1972 to 1975 ...

And although it's not package design (but I feel it fits in nicely) the paintings shown at the end of Captain Scarlet episodes

Yes, those were really cool!

My cousins had a Johnny West figure, but didn't know who he was. We always thought he looked like John Wayne. Hey, it was John, right?

Most any GI Joe Adventure Team box art...

[powersthatbe]

I think my favorite card packaging art was from Mattel's Clash of the Titans.

Larami Martian Chronicles carded figures. Love everything about them: The colors, the illustrations, the font and seeing Mr. Bradbury's name on them.

I love the Micronauts packages, especially the Ken Kelly aliens.
