I am interested in the Stormtrooper models, however. Until they're actually released, I guess. I kinda like the packaging of the unofficial Star Wars Super Stars they did a few years ago better:

There're a few here: http://www.bathingapee.com/Marvel-X-Bathing-ape.html Actually if it's the same as those, I think the blister packaging is more like a plastic shell that wraps to the edge of the cardboard and just around it. So with a little bending and (possibly) creasing you can pop the back out without too much damage to the packaging. I saw a used pair of Iron Man sneakers that were worn to fuck but still inside the relatively pristine plastic bubble. And that is your far too thought out, completely unecessary answer of the day.

Though I suppose they lose all value as soon as you open them? I agree, very cool — but how do you try them on? Though I suppose they lose all value as soon as you open them?
