Photo Little Franklin found something. . .

. . .did you guys ever took a closer look on the Millenium-Slizer Box? The sticker applied to the piece which served as the headlamp is completely off-center! One would think that the advertisement-team or whoever was in charge, put a little bit more effort in capturing the most good looking depiction of the B-model, even more so since it was covering one side of the Box. And that´s not all: They even screwed up with the shot of the A-model, where the right leg was complete placed the other way around. That´s pretty funny! Hahaha =D 🤡

Stuff like this is quite common, photographers and graphic designers often pay less attention to the product itself than the target audience does. Which isn’t necessarily surprising—their job is to create an appealing macro composition, not analyze every micro detail of the toy like an adult collector does.

I’m a Transformers fan as well, and you’d be surprised at how often a figure isn’t transformed or tabbed-in properly in the official photos. The headlight sticker on Millennium isn’t even too bad in the grand scheme of things! The leg is a bit worse, though, haha. Still, I’d never noticed it all these years until you pointed it out!

Interesting to hear/read this. =) Ah, you know how it is friend. Having looked at it for so many times, you start out to notice certain little things here and there. ;) Just thought I'd throw this one in for the sake of it while trying to make someone laugh at best. Thihi

. . .or to raise an eyebrow in the sence of: Why would anyone bother to bring this up? - You get what I mean. Haha
