Plans to reintroduce windows and blisters to its packaging of 6in-scale action figure products have been confirmed; toy manufacturing company Hasbro revealed.
The company will launch the updated packaging later this year, AIPT Comics reported.
In 2024, the updated packaging will feature on select products across the company’s brands such as GI Joe Classified, Star Wars Black Series, Marvel Legends and more.

Based on your feedback, we will be re-introducing windows and blisters to our 6-inch fan figures beginning later this year, into 2024 for select products across our portfolio of brands, including, GI Joe Classified, Power Rangers Lightning Collection, Star Wars Black Series and Marvel Legends.
