Does anyone keep G4 box art?
« on: September 25, 2012, 07:38:48 PM »
I know some people keep the backcards but does anyone keep the little cardboard pieces that slip in the front of the brushable box that have the character picture on them? I'm curious if anyone keeps them of if they just get chucked away or recycled, I personally think they're really cute and I'm a bit of a hoarder. I use mine as displays for just a few of my G4s, it keeps their accessories tidy and I can't forget their names this way! :lol:

So what do people do with them? And does anyone have any other interesting ways to display their G4s?
I also ask because I'm looking to get some for loose ponies (http://mlparena.com/mlp/index.php/topic,310137.0.html:P

That is so creative! :) And very cute. I love how there is space for the ponies too. Great idea!

I keep back cards from the single packaged ponies only and I cut out the pony art from the part that wraps around the front. I accidentally threw away the character images from the from the front of a few playsets packaging though. :(

That's a creative way to display G4s, I bet it would look so neat to have a shelf all lined up with them like that!  I have kept all of the packaging for my G4s (they are piled up in a huge box in my spare closet), but I don't have anywhere near enough room to display every pony like that. :blush:

yes :)  I love the art work on most of the packages, I have used all of the art to make a collage and to make shelves inside this furniture that I have and is now my display :)
some of my pics show that display

I cut out the pony image on the front and keep the MLP logo. I have them stuck all over the wall in my computer room. And of course I keep the backcards. I used to keep the entire box, but I collect transformers too so my 'box collection' was a little put of control. I've limited myself to just the artwork on the packaging now to save on space.

That's such a cute idea! Now I wish badly I hadn't thrown all my boxes out.

That's really cute! I don't keep the G4 backcards because they all sort of look alike, except different colors. I did keep the box for my FS Luna, FS Celestia, and Favorites collection though because I liked them :)

This is a very cute and creative idea! I'm so glad I've kept every single box for all my G4 purchases! I just might do this...:heart:

I keep the whole boxes, never once have I thrown away an empty G4 box.
Of course, now a 5th of my room is filled with empty boxes, but still...

I keep all box art from the singles. From bigger boxes, I keep the cardboard backdrops if they don't have blisterpacks glued to them. Sadly the recent line has pretty much all the same backdrop art.

I recycle them. I would keep them all if they weren't just recoloured vectors, the character images are too... Boring for me.

I'm thinking of attaching magnets to the backs of the little front pieces and making fridge decor out of them.  :)
