Has anybody else noticed how stuck the figures are into their plastic bubbles? I have really had to pry some of them out as they just didn't want to move. With that being said, I was looking over my new SW figures tonight and notices that Roller Brawls left are has almost completely ripped off her body. I am positive that it happened while taking her out of the package. I would suggest using some scissors to open the plastic shell around them so the same thing doesn't happen to you.

Night Shifts upper body part was a pain to get out for me. They definitely should change how they pack them. I know there's always been issue with their packaging ever since the beginning.

I'm always a bit worried about this so I push out from the bottom on the base. Hope this helps.

Just to add a positive, my kids & I liked the little wheel at the top which shows some swapped names. But you're right about how hard they are to get out. I've only opened one so far (Magna Charge) it was all I could afford at the time. After nearly breaking the toy it eventually came out. The plastic bubble packaging actually cracked, which kinda tells me that it's too hard & thick. Never had this trouble with the previous two series. I did notice that after I got the toy out, the packaging opens out in half. Maybe there is an easier way to do it. I'll put more thought into it next time, perhaps scissors are the best option.

It's been a nightmare with the SWAP characters for me - I'm a big 'strong' guy so I don't want ot break anything trying to get it out the package - bu like Boom Jet I was fearful I'd bend him in half trying ot get the top part out.

I've had the hardest time getting the top half of the swappers out. I figured they did it to keep them from coming loose in shipping/in the stores.

I hear you. It didn't seem to help though as I have seen 3 or 4 detached Swappers in the package.

They are a pain and I've been the one to get them out of the package. It makes me wince when I see my kids trying to get them out. I just know it would be a matter of time before one of them breaks off a figure piece by mistake.

^Ive made it it clear to my kids that unpacking the figures is my job, ever since I came home to find my light- core prism break collector card all bent up.

I've noticed it as well which is odd since there are a ton of packages with them loose in the package. I definitely will take TLC when taking these out.
