Your favorite package/box illustration?

[4NDR01D]

Everybody must have a favorite package design or box art. Doesn't have to be an illustration, it can be a photo etc. A couple of faves of mine are the Big Jim "Baron the chauffer" and Big Jim "laser man" I don't really collect Big Jim but those packages are ust haves based on art alone. I really dig those old Ideal game boxes where they paint the photos of the family playing the game . The first couple of years of Gi Joe packaging is great. Also really like the original Capt. Action and Dr.evil photo boxs.

I love the artwork on the Palitoy Planet of the apes and the artwork of the Star Trek Aliens

I always liked the boxes for Dino-Riders toys. I Also like the Mego Mad Monster art work.

I alway like the 12 inch GI-JOE adventure team boxes

The toys really weren't from my generation but I always thought that the artwork on the vintage small scale G.I. Joes and Masters Of The Universe packaging was very impressive.

Yeah you're right the Joes were awesome,they actually made trading cards of those packaging artworks and the He-man had really cool artwork on the back card

Really? i never knew that as i was long past toys when there were releashed, one of these days i'd love to track down a 3 3/4 MOC ZARTAN

I really like the GIJoe Adventure Team boxes and the Action Jackson outfit packages artwork. I always wished Mego made trading cards or posters or shirts from these. They're so cool! (my fave is the secret agent)

There are many, like the SMDM, Airfix blue (and others) boxes, Star Wars vintage, POTA playsets and the french GI Joe called : "Action Joe". But my favourites illustrations maybe the ones for the Matchbox Superfast, Speed Kings, Battle Kings. I'd love to know who was (or who were) the illustrator(s) and have more sample of his (their) work.




Don't you think that kind of drawing brings the spirit of the 70's toys?

[Surfsup]

Palitoy 8 inch cards, especially POTA
Evel Knievel
Action Man/GI Joe
Aurora kits from 60s
Marx/Gabriel Lone Ranger
Lincoln/JR 21 Thunderbirds
AHI Superhero items
Vintage Corgi
Stretch Armstrong

The packing is just superb, I could marvel at them for hours on end.

[Lynn TXP 0369]

Evel Knievel boxes and cards
Gi-Joe AT boxes
3 3/4" Gi-Joe cards
Micronaut Aliens boxes and cards

I'm sure there are more that I can't think of.
