Most standard JP articulated figure boxes are boring to me. I don't care much about packaging if there's no original art on it. I appreciate how compact they are, though, because you're kinda forced to keep the packages in case you ever resell. They're clean, mature graphic design o I get the appeal.
Mecha releases do a better job of having original art, from model kits to big releases, though it removes any view of the figure which is a shame.
Say what you will about Hasbro, but I think they did the most(before the plastic free days especially) of commissioning original art and showcasing the figure. I'm more attached to cheap domestic release packages because of that. Even stuff before my time, like 80's TF or GI Joe, hypes me up because it's such a cool presentation. Or the 80's TMNT toys, because the more simplistic art all over the package gives it an almost homemade feel.
