The nostalgia box
The Patch-era art with the Magnetic Personalities banner. If the point of the purchase is handing a kid the thing you had, this cover does more work than the toy does.
The nostalgia box
Wooly Willy: Patch Products era box
Patch Products bought the Smethport factory in 2008 and printed its own name on the box until the company became PlayMonster in 2016. This listing still ships that packaging. The toy inside is the standard board, but the box art is the one a lot of parents remember from their own childhood shelves, which is why this listing keeps selling next to the newer ones.

What you are actually holding
Same board underneath
Card, bubble, powder, wand. Wooly Willy has been built the same way since the Herzog brothers worked out the bubble in 1955, and this box is no exception.
Small parts warning
This box prints the choking-hazard notice prominently. The wand is the small part in question; the powder itself never leaves the sealed frame.
Steady old listing
The page has been up for years and holds one of the stronger scores on the shelf. Slow, steady, and mostly bought on purpose by people who searched for this exact box.
The other three boxes
Same board inside every one of them; the differences are packaging and cost.
