Target Minimates Packaging Change

A long time ago I told AA and DST that they REALLY needed to make their 2-pack boxes more merchadising friendly by adding images of the product on TOP of the box where the frivilous Minimates logo currently is. That would make the displayers so much easier to sort through and take much better advantage of the limited real estate on that tiny box.

Well, apparently they conitinue to ignore my sound design advice, but Target's listening. I've noticed stickers being applied to the box tops listing the contents. Not the nice 4-color headshots from the sides, just a tiny little 1-color strip that fits around the Minimates vanity logo.

Sorry if this has been mentioned elsewhere. I'm old.

I remember your old thread about this!

I think someone has vaguely mentioned it on here, I've yet to see the change myself, pics anyone?

Yes I and Zombieboyfeind have mentioned this. It's nothing special so I didn't scan it. The idea is great, pics would have been better as per PLs suggestion. If anything, pics at the top and the Minimates name on the side would have been better imo.

What was strange to me was that the initial shipment of these packs didn't have the sticker, but the new ones now do!

Yeah, I've seen the stickers in the Target I deal with. They go even further on some of the boxes, depending on who/what's in them. I know the Ben Reilly/Sand man set mentions his "Power bladt hand" or something to that effect (yes, they spelled blast wrong too). Professor X and Phoenix mention both the chair and the blanket in their label too.

I still haven't found the Iceman/Wolverine yet in the eight Targets near me. I "primed the pump" so to speak at one Target by buying up all the left over Invisible Woman/Thing 2 packs. Nothing yet but I'm still hoping.

The stickers have been all of the new GSXM packs I've seen.

Man I need one. I love that version of Iceman. Anyone care to help out. I'm willing to trade or just buy it off of you. YES........NO? Anyone?
