The Dragon Box and Dragon Box GT sites had production logs, where they would reveal early info and show early images of the boxes. The Z boxes never had this, and so far the movie box doesn't either. They might start creating a production log in 2006, but so far it looks like we won't be seeing the final box until it arrives on our doorsteps.

Either way, I'd say it's safe to assume that the side of the box will be sporting the below image, and the rest of the box will probably follow a similar theme.

Katsuyoshi Nakatsuru did all the package illustrasions for the Dragon Boxes. Yeah, I guess he probably did the art for the single disks too, but someone will have to check the back of the package to be sure.

He actually is an animator for One Piece, but he also did character designs for DBZ and GT, as well as key animation, and was an animation director. At least we can say he knows his DragonBall, so it's not like he's warping the original designs to look like One Piece or anything (a la the Sagas animation).

You have a link to a site with more information on Nakatsuru? I'd be interested in reading more about him! :D

No, I just did a quick search on Anime News Network and a couple Japanese sites to get some basic staff credits. Here's the kanji for his name: 中鶴勝祥 If you do some searching on Google you might come up with a decent website on the guy (I'm too lazy to search myself :P ).
