Toy packaging art has always fascinated me and it actually inspired me to pick up some paintbrushes, so it's actually made my life better, here are five random personal favourites but I'd love to see yours be it at the MegoMuseum Forums, our facebook page or on Twitter. Show me your favourites, please!
The Mego Mad Monsters series by legend Gray Morrow.
I can't tell you how much i love the Big Jim Gold Commander Artwork.
I could go on for days about Mego's fantastic packaging (and have) but for this exercise I'll just point out this epic Ross Andru Spider-Man box.
Even when the artwork is a bit simple, there is a tremendous joy in it. The Lincoln International Monsters have a cartoonish look but they are amongst my favourites of all time.
Show me your favourite 70s toy packaging, let's flood the internet with this joyous art.

Joe looks like he's on his way to the local homeless shelter for soup. You'd think they could have spruced up his uniform and given him a shave.
