This past week
@epictoysuk showed off the new packaging designs I've been working on with them for their upcoming Wrestling Megastars 2-packs of Powers Of Pain & Demolition! The feedback has been very positive and somewhat overwhelming 🙏
It's always a risk tweaking things like this that are based on something so iconic.
• We've moved towards using the increasingly popular blister packaging
• Rather than clog things up on the backing card (I wanted the artwork to have as much space as possible) we've moved all extras to a cardboard insert that will house the name of the team and the action graphic
• The figures obviously don't contain a working action so we no longer wanted that to be misinterpreted but that graphic did serve a purpose of displaying the all-important concept drawings by
@eyecandytattoo
• The signature is another historically iconic part of this style of figure so it made sense to move it from covering any part of the main artwork to this action graphic as it seemed like the perfect space for it
You would have seen this on the Andre and Valentine mock-ups I did too but I thought I'd explain the logic behind the move 👍
Both cards feature the fantastic hand-drawn artwork of
@mikemcgeeillustration !
I'm excited for you all to see what we have in store for the back of the cards! 🤩🤫
The future of the Wrestling Megastars line is in great hands with Epic Toys!
