Danny Posted June 28, 2006 Share Posted June 28, 2006 How do you want the DC 2-packs packaged? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andimus Prime Posted June 28, 2006 Share Posted June 28, 2006 I'd love to see it carded, but I wouldn't mind boxed if it saved money. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TBT! Posted June 28, 2006 Share Posted June 28, 2006 Carded means more display space and therefore hopefully more people noticing and buying... I liked the boxes but they aren't exactly wow look at me friendly. T. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Logan Posted June 28, 2006 Share Posted June 28, 2006 I buy em either way! But, I prefer Boxed packaging! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fujis Posted June 28, 2006 Share Posted June 28, 2006 We had this discussion before (here or on the AA boards I don't remember) but someone said that kids like to see what they are buying and I agree. Blister cards will insure higher visibility of the figures themselves and better placement in the stores. If they do go with a box I would hope it's a window box like Lego uses for their larger sets.

Logan Posted June 28, 2006 Share Posted June 28, 2006 OK, that would be perfect!^^^^^ I would love that, you can see what your getting, and(if your like me) you can save the boxes! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danny Posted June 28, 2006 Author Share Posted June 28, 2006 Unfortunately it's also the most expensive way of packaging. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
psychopanda Posted June 28, 2006 Share Posted June 28, 2006 There should be an "other" vote. Like "packaged in sandwich bags"! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neolego Posted June 28, 2006 Share Posted June 28, 2006 I voted: 'Say YES to Boxes' My reasoning is simple, you can keep the boxes. I don't have any of the blister sets that I bought at first, but I have everyone of the boxed packages I bought (including multi-packs). I can see the appeal of visable figures for kids, but I'd still prefer the boxes anyday. Of course, in a perfect world we'd have Boxes with opening flaps on the front revealing the figures. That would be too much trouble and too expensive, but again this isn't a perfect world . neo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amazing.JL Posted June 28, 2006 Share Posted June 28, 2006 The boxes are easy to stack up and store but the bubble carded look nicer. I've always preferred boxed with a window. Who knows what we'll see, it would be cool to get the DC Direct Packaging like they did the Alex Ross or Hush Figs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luke314pi Posted June 28, 2006 Share Posted June 28, 2006 Even though it is a little more expensive, I think that bubble packaging would be more likely to get these into the hands of the average Joe. (or Joe Junior) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mav-man Posted June 28, 2006 Share Posted June 28, 2006 Either way works for me as long as they make them all and keep making them! Although I do like the boxes... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cyc Posted June 29, 2006 Share Posted June 29, 2006 Torn. Blister is more customer grab, but the Marvel 2-pack boxes are just so.... perfect IMO for Minimates Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
antacost Posted June 29, 2006 Share Posted June 29, 2006 While there is nothing like a block in a box, I love the blister packs... Unfortunately, I've never seen a DC Direct product at retail other than Suncoast, Sam Goody or Musicland. They're all gone now. I think these are going to mostly be Comic Shop stock, and Marvel seems to do alright with the boxes there. If they're going to put these into retail stores, then they definately need to go with the blister packs. Kids? Hell, I like to see what I'm buying before I buy it...

bluesparrow Posted June 29, 2006 Share Posted June 29, 2006 I'd choose a window box. DC Direct in their 6-7" line varies between window boxes and blisters. I tend to think the window boxes are more distinctive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bilbofett Posted June 30, 2006 Share Posted June 30, 2006 I like the boxes better. I save them, and they're easier to store. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rad Posted June 30, 2006 Share Posted June 30, 2006 Blister cards for me. They look better on the shelves/pegs than the boxes you can see what you're buying and they just look better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jcastick Posted July 1, 2006 Share Posted July 1, 2006 I like the boxes myself, but would there ever be a chance of us seeing boxes with windows? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Donster Posted July 2, 2006 Share Posted July 2, 2006 I like the boxes myself, as others pointed out, easier to store(for the moment). But I think DCD might do something a little bit different to set themselves apart from their Marvel counterparts(?). I just hope these don't share some of the issues that some complained about on the AA Forum, wrong feet, poor paint application, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danny Posted August 21, 2006 Author Share Posted August 21, 2006 And according to Donna on the Art Asylum board, the DC Minimates will "be blistered, open window with a j-hook. Just like Streetfighter 2 pks." Should look nice! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
