Just thought I'd point this out, if no one noticed, but I saw that when Mattel produces a figure, they match the attire with the background picture of the superstar: Kofi Kingston:   The Miz:   Rey Mysterio:   Just thought it was very cool how much detail Mattel puts into every figure to make it unique, even right down to the packaging  |

Not much of a discovery since it's plain as day right on the package, but it's cool of them none the less. A little costly? probably, but it looks really professional

yeah i commented on that in the official thread i believe, just another nice attention to detail mattel includes and jakks left out. really goes well if you're a MOC collector.

Agreed, it makes the packaging look so much better when it matches the figure in the package. I was looking back at it and Jakks used the same picture for everything, (ie John Cena had the same one for the past couple RA series and his DA figures) |

Yeah I like how they do this. I'm a loose collector for the most part so I shouldn't complain, but there were a few times Jakks put blatantly different attires on boxes and it just grinded my gears. For example, they used a picture of Triple H in red tights in his Evolution days, yet almost every figure was in black. Made me want a red one pretty bad.

I like that they do that, as I often keep the card backing after I open a figure.

They also have holes on the side so the figure can breath.

Yeah i noticed this a long while ago, its just awesome. Shows mattels committment not just to the fig but also ensuring a completely awesome MOC product. Even for every different attire for rey they persist to use the accurate pic which is really commendable. Not like jakks who used a random pic.

I guess I'm not a very astute observer, because I didn't notice. Cool attention to detail though.

Brilliant part on Matell's part. I noticed this first when I came home with the 2 Pack Y2J and the Sig Series Y2J.
They must has some really good editing skills. The packaging alone makes it all fun.

Mattel claims they listen to us fans.. I wonder if early in the creative process a collector complained about this?
Either way, this is one of those little details that goes a long way.
