I Noticed Some Minor Alterations For the Box Arts

So me being the weirdo I am, I compared the box arts on spyrothedragon.com to the originals, and although these are minor as all hell, I found these interesting.

Spyro The Dragon (1998):

Nothing glaringly obviously changed for Spyro 1 that I can see.

Spyro 2: Ripto's Rage! (1999):

Spyro 2 has some subtle changes. The logo isn't as cramped on the upper left as the original.

Spyro: Year of the Dragon (2000):

Original:

Reignited Trilogy:

As you can see, Spyro 3's box art went through the most alterations. Bentley's right hand isn't as cut off as much as it used to be, and Agent 9's laser gun is no longer cut off.

The YoTD additions look... odd. Agent 9's gun is cut in half by the motion blur while nothing else seems to get the same treatment. I think the original laser gun was supposed to extend all the way to the edge of the art but perhaps Toys for Bob didn't notice or didn't have enough detail and blurred it out instead.

It's just the source artwork I reckon, not an actual addition on the Activision marketing team's part. The original boxarts were the ones cut off, but those full versions of the art were always around.
