Episode VIII: Rey Lets Her Hair Down  :)

This has to be the first branding since POTJ that features human characters. Looks good.

This looks exactly like the red Legacy line look from a few years back. Not terribly exciting IMO.

+1.  Meh.  But I'm an old fart who wants everything to match with the vintage packaging, so what do I know.

Just need the cards and bubbles to be able to stay glued together.  Beyond that I don't care too much.

It's only interesting in that this is the first time I can recall heroes being placed on the product packaging. I guess POTJ had Obi-Wan but he was kind of small compared to Vader. Otherwise we had Vader a few times, the regular Star Wars logo, Darth Maul, Kylo Ren, and the Deathtrooper.

Speaking of heroes, I wonder if they'll make a Luke Skywalker figure for this movie.  I hear he's kind of a big deal.

He'll be in his Episode 8 attire, not TFA. :)

With Toy Fair starting tomorrow, I'm actually hoping Hasbro reveals a TFA Luke this weekend.  I'm also prepared to be disappointed again.
