I went with B, but it was neck and neck with A. C is fine, but shows off nearly nothing. It’s a cool minimal comic cover but not great for premium action figure packaging.

B > A >>> C

I thought B was great! Might even make a great poster

B for me, but as everyone else has said A is fine too. I'm curious though why the trade dress says "#2". Wouldn't this be HasLab #3?

A was my choice, but I do find C to be graphically pleasing.Β

I mean, I get that people may like the layout of B, but none of the characters have faces.... 😋Β

I feel like B will best mimic what we'll find on the inside of the package. I imagine a window box, like NECA does with their ultimates. Open the front cover, there's Giant Man in nearly the same position with the accessories secured around him. I know HasLabs don't use that kind of packaging, but even sliding the figure tray out, its position mirrors what the front of the package could look like with option B. That's what edged it out for me. I think A is fun, but B sells it. I also think it better shows off relative scale, Giant Man::regular sized characters, Giant Man::buildings.

@yojoebro82 There was that report/rumour earlier this year that there was a bunch of Haslabs in Europe that were being made available to retailers at original price.Β 

Most times there is overstock due to producing enough stock to cover damages, returns, etc.Β  I believe I saw somewhere that it is usually somewhere between 5%-10% of the total production run.Β  I don't know for sure, but I would imagine that is probably where the majority of this stock is coming from.Β

There are always extras to deal with things like lost packages or QC issues, not to mention simply to keep around. That is why you didn't see HISS tanks or Deathsaurus, those extras are still needed as those are only shipping now. They can't just make the exact amount ordered and hope for the best, the extras are factored in the initial pricing.

Sweet...Β  Β I like the two pack Idea -Β  I'm wondering what the upcharge is going to be though with all of the extras.Β  Β A set of wings, extra heads for each figure, extra hands,Β  a baby quinjet, other doo dads... this is going to be $60 minimum, right?Β  Β  Β And as a Pulse exclusive the wait for any kind of sale price could be a loooong one.
