Okey-dokey.
Here's a screen grab of the interior base of the box (the bit Chip stands on).
You can clearly see that the dots are aligned on a grid. Also, bringing the picture into Photoshop lets you adjust the levels and count the dots in each direction.
By contrast, here's the base from the 12" figure.
This, you'll notice, has dots arranged diagonally and they are on a pretty lose grid (i.e. not regular spacing).
And finally, here's my base.
I am working on the tabs to cut out and fold this.
Moving to the main box, I started with the band of stars. This pattern is used in several places on the box. Here's a scan from the 12" toy box.
This was the first thing I tackled and was while I thought that elements of the retail box might be accurate. The interior base has proven otherwise, but I have no better shots of the movie box to contradict this scan.
Here's my rebuild of the star.
Now what you have to remember when looking at this is that a commercially printed box is composed of four colours, cyan,magenta, yellow and black. The image is broken down in to a dot pattern using those colours to approximate the full spectrum when viewed from a distance. That's why the top star is all "spotty".
Here's my colour half-tone pass. This is how the final box art will all be processed.
Chip's name is printed on a computer chip. This is one end of my finished artwork for the nameplate.
Here's a quick look at the front of the box, as far as I have got.
You can see that I have started re-drawing the picture of Chip.
And finally, the back.
As you can see, I'm working over a perspective corrected screen grab. This particular sequence is invaluable for the back of the box. I thought that I had correctly identified the promotional photos of all of the other commandos on the back of the box, however, I find that the shot I have of Link Static is not correct. He is supposed to be facing forward. All of the others line up and match perfectly with the pack shots. I need to finalise the colour and intensity of the fake shadows that is added to each soldier.
There's quite a bit of copy on the back that I shall have to invent. That pinkish box in the bottom right corner has a lot of copy. The Gorgonite version is easy to read in full, but I don't think we ever see a shot of the commando elite version. Also there's some small stuff across the bottom and what might be a bar code in the bottom right corner.
So there you go.
