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!

MISB COLLECTOR LIVES EVERYDAY LIFE... MISB ?!

FEATURED COLLECTOR:

MISB COLLECTOR LIVES EVERYDAY LIFE... MISB ?!

There are tons of different toy collectors. Some open their figures and display them 'loose', while others keep their entire collections 'MISB' (mint in sealed box). ToyFarce News had the opportunity to interview Sebastian, an in-box collector who took it a bit to the extreme...

ToyFarce News: 

Sebastian, thank you for having us in your home for this interview. I can see a lot of boxes in your living room...

Sebastian: 

Yes. As an in-box collector, I keep everything in the box. I have a huge collection of Hot Toys figures, that I keep in the box. I have never seen the figures. I've just never removed them from the box. I keep everything protected and pristine in the box. Also, my sofa and television are still in the cardboard boxes they came with, I have Ikea furniture still in the cardboard boxes, my bed and bedside table, etc... This is how I prefer it.

ToyFarce News:

What started all this?

Sebastian:

When I was a child, I didn't have a lot of toys. When I went to a friend's home, I would see all his action figures that he played with, he had them loose, and I thought it was wrong. The toys are supposed to be kept in their boxes, sealed, for additional value.

ToyFarce News:

How is Sebastian's every day life?

Sebastian:

I'm just like anybody else. I wake up on my bed, which is still in the plastic wrap, I turn off my alarm clock on my bedside table (still in the box). Then, I take a look at my amazing collection that is still in pristine condition in the boxes, before going on with my day. I might order a few figures during that day, knowing, of course, that i will never see them, because I will keep them MISB. I also cook my food MISB, it's the only way that I am sure to get all the nutrients from the box.

How about you, are you an in-box collector or do you open your figures? Let us know in the comments!
