Hasbro sent out an official statement verifying that they will be keeping the bubble for both The Vintage Collection and Retro Collection lines.
Our goal does not include packaging for fan collectible products like 3.75” action figures, where packaging is part of the product experience and typically retained intact for fan display and collections. Those lines include Star Wars Vintage and Retro, as well as other collectible brands such as Marvel Retro and the G.I. JOE Retro.
You can read the full letter over at our friends JediNews.
UPDATE: The Black Series will receive a plastic free box design however. The current design of the box will still be the same, so the spine will have the same style of illustration, but the front will no longer have a plastic window and instead just show a photo of the figure in the box.
