In the Toy Fair interview, the idea was brought up to include something like a poster of the artwork of the Legends packaging. PLEASE do this! Even better, instead of or in addition to including it, how about a mail-away offer or something for a full-sized wall poster featuring all of the illustrations together (possibly some new, full-body ones) like the old VHS covers (see below)?
I may be biased because I come from a graphic design/fine art background, but when I saw these illustrations I was compelled to buy every Legend, even the ones I didn't care for, based on the artwork alone. I don't know who did these, but they're amazing. They PERFECTLY capture that retro vibe seen on so much of the artwork on the VHS tapes from the early and mid 90s (and before?). For anyone not familiar with this, check out:

If anyone reading this knows the name of the artist who did these and can link me to some more of their work, I'd like to see what other kinds of stuff they do, so please PM me the info or comment below. Thanks for reading!
