Title: Does anyone keep G4 box art?
Post by: Tulips 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 (http://mlparena.com/mlp/index.php/topic,310137.0.html)) :P

Post by: Flitter on September 25, 2012, 07:57:31 PM: 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. :(

Post by: agnusdei on September 25, 2012, 08:44:10 PM: 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:

Post by: HoustonCollector72 on September 25, 2012, 09:08:28 PM: 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

Post by: Saber-Toothed Crow on September 25, 2012, 09:08:46 PM: 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.

Post by: Zenobiaa on September 25, 2012, 09:09:40 PM: That's such a cute idea! Now I wish badly I hadn't thrown all my boxes out.
Title: Re: Does anyone keep G4 box art?
Post by: Shenanigans on September 25, 2012, 09:26:21 PM: 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 :)

Post by: Flugangst on September 25, 2012, 10:19:40 PM: 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:
Title: Re: Does anyone keep G4 box art?
Post by: Starly on September 25, 2012, 11:24:56 PM: 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...

Post by: StarlightGaze on September 26, 2012, 12:43:47 AM: 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.

Post by: Luxrayx on September 26, 2012, 06:10:31 AM: I recycle them. I would keep them all if they weren't just recoloured vectors, the character images are too... Boring for me.
Title: Re: Does anyone keep G4 box art?
Post by: lovesbabysquirmy on September 26, 2012, 09:52:19 AM: I'm thinking of attaching magnets to the backs of the little front pieces and making fridge decor out of them. :)

Post by: gabumon on September 26, 2012, 11:16:00 AM: what a great idea lbs!! you could use those cuttable sticker magnet sheets!

I have a small pile of magnet sheeting that has come from road-trip books and the free advertisements for the local plumber and such set aside for just this reason... Me? Buy something new? HAHAHA! ;)

Post by: NoPonySpecial on September 26, 2012, 01:07:25 PM: I keep some to glue into my scrapbook.
Title: Re: Does anyone keep G4 box art?
Post by: Ceecee on September 26, 2012, 01:58:25 PM: I keep the logos and backcards, and cut out the vectors... They're just stacked in a drawer, though, I haven't been able to think of anything to do with them yet. XD
Title: Re: Does anyone keep G4 box art?
Post by: Tulips on September 26, 2012, 02:37:24 PM: @LBS / what a cute idea, I actually have a whole tonne of sticker sheet lying around somewhere... I could cover the family fridge with ponies mwahahahaha!!!
Title: Re: Does anyone keep G4 box art?
Post by: Iceglider on September 26, 2012, 07:11:24 PM: I just used one to decorate a box I am sending out in a trade. Flitterheart is right in front of the return address. It looks really cute. I put the MLP logo on the back of the box, just for fun. :)
Title: Re: Does anyone keep G4 box art?
Post by: HorsingAround on September 26, 2012, 08:45:51 PM: What a cute and creative idea! Not only do I keep the art but I keep the whole box. I actually never remove the ponies from there original packaging but I'm often tempted to open them!

Post by: achab1984 on September 26, 2012, 08:47:24 PM: I do but then I keep all my girls and guys in there packages :)
Title: Re: Does anyone keep G4 box art?
Post by: Griffin on September 27, 2012, 06:22:51 AM: I keep all box art, although so far I've only deboxed the mane 6, all others I'm keeping MIB - at least for the time being. The logos and the front pieces I was planning to use for craft projects, decorating packages etc. but so far they're all just stored with the backcards and leaflets.

Post by: PolkaDot99 on September 27, 2012, 12:54:50 PM: That looks cute! I dont keep them because my mom wont let me. they're all thrown away
Title: Re: Does anyone keep G4 box art?
Post by: Sweetie-Swirl on September 27, 2012, 12:59:05 PM: I only keep the backcard and the character image, but I've only got the single ponies so far!
Title: Re: Does anyone keep G4 box art?
Post by: partypony566 on September 27, 2012, 01:29:50 PM: I do believe I have some from the wave one boxes.
Title: Re: Does anyone keep G4 box art?
Post by: gabumon on September 27, 2012, 01:30:48 PM: if you keep only the cardboard pieces the store really nice and flat!
Title: Re: Does anyone keep G4 box art?
Post by: SkyCakes on September 27, 2012, 01:43:47 PM: I keep it if I can get the plastic of the other stuff off of it cleanly. I have saved alot of the art though. I was orginally planning on using them just as picture backgrounds. Next thing I know I am collecting them.
Title: Re: Does anyone keep G4 box art?
Post by: louiselovesbagsandshoes on September 27, 2012, 02:38:27 PM: I keep the front image, the logos and 'some' backcards. I keep my MH dolls box art too, and LPS Blythe ones, but between them I've got quite a few now and they're just in a box and I'm not sure what to do with them - just too pretty to throw out though!!! x
Title: Re: Does anyone keep G4 box art?
Post by: sugar_apple on September 27, 2012, 04:09:55 PM: I haven't opened any of my boxes yet, lol. But if I did, I would probably keep the box art.
Wonder if those MLP -logos could be made into badges...? XD

Post by: UnicornTamer on September 27, 2012, 04:25:05 PM: I cut the character ponies out and made them into magnets!
Title: Re: Does anyone keep G4 box art?
Post by: Koudoawaia on September 27, 2012, 08:20:44 PM: I keep the small character portraits on the front and tape them to my desk cabinet :)
Title: Re: Does anyone keep G4 box art?
Post by: Private_Bubbles on September 27, 2012, 08:34:47 PM: I keep the front character wrap-around bit, the mlp logo and the back :D
Title: Re: Does anyone keep G4 box art?
Post by: hathorcat on September 28, 2012, 02:48:53 PM: T.L.Squiggle - I love the way you are using it to display :) And the magnet idea is great!

Although I am not a huge fan of the backcard art - its a little samely for me a lot of the time, I do admit that I still have all the boxes - backcards and plastic - for every G4 I have purchased so I guess yes I do indeed keep it!
Title: Re: Does anyone keep G4 box art?
Post by: Tulips on September 28, 2012, 04:03:05 PM: Wow, I didn't think so many people would keep the box art. ^.^
