What is your most favourite Tenyo retro packaging?

Post by gazpratley » Sat Nov 22, 2014 8:45 am

So ladies and gentlemen,what is your favourite package for Tenyo? my faves have to be,coin of dracula,space towers, knife of ninja,wond window, Haunting, i think the most ugliest packages are the later ones i e krazy keys, funnel vision etc ehrrr how utterly boring, i think in my opinion the 1980"s and 90"s tricks were packeged the best, just look at sof coins that looks great on the package and the package actually shows you the effect,and wond window. Whats your fave??

Yes shrinking pen package is very much a throwback to the old style of package dont you think?

just had great fun looking through all the packages, the few that really stood out for me were..
Midas machine (I love the insert with all the printing registration and quality control marks on the half printed bill)
Frame of Destruction. (just a nice bold design and good bit of false perspective on the pencil)
I like fantastic and astrocoin as they remind me of the title sequence of a Hitchcock film.
I having said that I like them all as a part of an ongoing graphic journey (I'm such a geek) but my favourite I think has to be...
Mystic Ruby! it's classic, simple, classy and of course reminds me of my boy :)
it's also going to be my next tattoo for that very reason, I'll be getting it before Xmas, just trying out different places using pens, here's where I've settled on

I love Crossroads too but I think there was a little bit "lie" in the packaging. I was fooled also at the first time until I knew the actual secret. However it was one of a clever and not easy to produce gimmick ever made ;)

The packaging for T-107 Crossroads rocks my socks off. It's just SO damn retro, it screams 1980's!
