I don’t mind the look, but I’m worried about people (including myself) being scammed or having figure swaps on the pegs, but now you can’t see that it has been swapped.
I also want to see the figure in the box so I know it has good paint apps, isn’t broken, etc.
How does this affect (not that Ha$bro cares…) MIB collectors? I’m an out-of-the-box collector but damn.
Can’t plastic be recycled? Why get rid of the tiny window?
I’m just happy there is a Knull figure, it’s rare I buy a Marvel Legend figure last one I bought was Gwenpool but I will grab Knull. Put him right next to first Venom and Carnage toys I have.
It’s is kinda strange they are going to windowless boxes. Mego doubled their sales by adding the window box way back when. Unless they plan on doing limited ratio figures or colors that will be chase figures it really doesn’t make sense.
When a group of Autobots first crash-landed on the planet Junkion, Junkyard, Scrapheap, and Wreck-Gar assumed the intruders had come about to steal their garbage.
Junkyard, along with, Scrapheap, is one of two non-Wreck-Gar Junkions to have a full character model, including an alternate mode developed for The Transformers: The Movie.
Internally, the pair were referred to only as “Junkion 1” and “Junkion 2” respectively, identified as such in both the movie’s dialogue script and in the 1986
The name “Junkyard” comes from the Transformers: The Complete Ark book, and was suggested in part by one of the original model artists.
When his first toy was released, it was presumed that his name was rendered as “Junkheap” due to a Hasbro desire to not have characters from Transformers and G.I. Joe share names; the long-established “Junkyard” in Joe had received a toy with that trademarked name only a few years prior.
