sweet and simple...
Do you guys miss the original Mattel Elites packaging?
I just picked up an E9 Randy Orton and an E7 Triple H and man, that packaging is awesome! I also love the new DM packaging.
Hate the new Elite packaging btw!
Thoughts?

Has the DM packing really changed other than size?

Has the DM packing really changed other than size? Yeah. On the inside. The inside of the Flair DM had the robe design, the inside Hogan had the yellow shirt ripping, the inside of the Razor has the gold chains... |

I like the new smaller packaging. Takes up less space and I'm an advocate for the going green movement by using less materials.

Love the current elite packaging. I don't do MOC, so doesn't matter anyway.

The 2011 red packaging was my favorite for the Elites:  Unrelated, but hot damn...a cloth shirt and two new vac-metal belts. Those were the days. |

My favorite packaging is actually the new "Hall of Fame" series packaging - to me, it harkens back to the old JAKKS Classic Superstars (my all time favorite packaging).

Remember Elite 4 Morrison coming with that complex robe and sunglasses? He was more value concious than Hogan, and he was $14.99 while my Hogan cost $29.99 at Kmart. I agree that 2011 was one of the best. I like this year's, but wish that the colors were more vibrant like this year's basics and battle packs. The worst was 2014 elites, what bland graphics and colors in retrospect. I feel as though the 2010/2011 figures made the most sense given the overal look of WWE product of the time. |

I have only 1 figure in that packaging which is E5 Chavo. I think it's better because you can see the details on the back. I do like the new smaller size though.

I prefer the 2012/2013 white and red scheme, although I threw a bunch of elite boxes from that era out today.

I like the white packaging the best, but I appreciate the current, smaller boxes. Just not into the blue.

I do like the current smaller size packaging but my favorite is the older red and black packaging.

The only packaging I really cared about was the Legends packaging because I thought the artwork looked incredible with the way they did the card back and it had a classic presentation to it. I'm a loose collector, the less they spend on packaging and the more they spend on the actual product, the better. The new HOF packaging is pretty damn awesome though. So that's my favorite of the changes they've made.

I like that they made it more small and compact.
However, I do feel bad for MOC collectors with OCD. lol

If those came out now, I'd have a collection of those MOC (and I'm not a MOC collector). Unfortunately, I was out of wrestling when Jakks made those. |
