I wouldn't say it's ruined the figure, but it's definitely a missed opportunity if this is the final design they go with. I would have probably taken any of the other initioal design sketches they did over this one.
I've seen mention elsewhere that the box shown may have a sleeve on the outside, which would explain the lack of the Thundercats logo.
this is a better effort than mattel have put forward .

Between the fans here having to correct the 4 Horsemen sculpts and now show Mattel how to design decent packaging I must say Mattel are doing a great job. ;)

I think a combination would be best. I like the bottom of the Matty box better (but only for Lion-O; it would have to be changed for other characters), but prefer the Tcats logo up top. I wouldn't mind his name on it, but I really don't like that font. It's really dated. I also really don't like the background on either one of them. Matty's is too boring, and a giant blob of white isn't all that better IMO. And if I'm completely honest I care more about the packaging looking good than I do about it being any kind of a LJN homage.
As for which Logo, honestly I like the Reboot logo the best, but I doubt they'd use that one. Bandai logo looks the second best IMO.

HA! That's awesome, great work!
There are so many fantastic design elements that just scream "ThunderCats", that it's very weird Matty managed to dodge them all.

Just for fun. I did kinda want to put his name somewhere on it too, but I couldn't find a font I thought looked good.

All the versions all you have made look great compared to Mattel's.

These are all really creative designs and so much better than Mattel's!
I just hope they change theirs.
Anyone brave enough to try another characters packaging ideas??? I.E panthro or another a baddy

Hopefully. I am still hoping they change the claw shield and I know this is being really picky but his legs need to be a bit longer as the overall proportions look a little off.
