HASBRO TO REMOVE ALL PLASTIC FROM THEIR PACKAGING, NOW PLANNING TO SELL EMPTY BOXES!

BREAKING NEWS:

HASBRO TO REMOVE ALL PLASTIC FROM THEIR PACKAGING, NOW PLANNING TO SELL EMPTY BOXES!

In-box collectors, rejoice! Hasbro is planning to remove all the plastic from their packaging, including the pesky figures that usually ruins our boxes!

Brian Goldner, CEO of Hasbro, announced a while ago that they were looking into removing the plastic from their packaging, in order to create a more sustainable future (which is a really great idea! It was always a pain for those who recycle their packagings to have to separate the plastic shell, the plastic bubble,… from the cardboard!)

Last week, Yakface, one of the most trusted source about anything related to Star Wars toys, shared some pictures about a survey showing different versions of what a “plastic-less packaging” would look like (pictures below).

Now, ToyFarce did some deep undercover investigative work, and found out an amazing scoop for you: There are plans to go even further, by releasing 100% plastic-free packaging, that won’t even include the figures that are made of plastic! They will probably end up just adding a cardboard cut-out of the figure in the box, so that you still have the impression that the figure is inside (like when they announce new figures at a Toy Fair or Comic Con, and they display a cardboard cut-out picture of the figure. We’ve always wanted to have one of those!).
Finally, the in-box collectors will be able to have a collection of ONLY boxes, without anything inside to lower the value of it!
