The art on these tins is disappointing... normally on tins, we get new art of the 'mon, but these are just the same Sugimori art that we always see.

At least the product lives up to its name?

Maybe these displayed cards will have alternate art, and this art is a placeholder. We saw this happen literally right now when the Melmetal and Houndoom ex battle decks were updated to have alt art promos
