There is no rule saying that a BAF has to be giant, but since their creation back with Toy Biz, the expectation is that the BAF should be something that wouldn't be able to sell as a standard Marvel Legends. Also, Hasbro's own comments about Mantis and Death's Head II haven't helped people expectations that the BAF should be large.

TF is always a strong brand and the newest figures have really upped their game. Star Wars should bounce back with three ranges planned for this years Force Friday I hardly call the PR lightning collection being full of obscure characters having some of the most popular rangers and their biggest villain along with the most recent rangers. Hopefully there won't be any cost cutting but some of the recent figures having less articulation and accessories brings back bad memories of the demise of the 3.75" Line.

I know all the great stuff they are doing, but they have used things like cost and experimentation to justify cutting some corners like they did with the 3.75 line and I don't what the same thing to start happening with ML or their other products

Cyber would be a decent BAF

Apparently we are supposed to use our imagination. (Also buy more figures so you can get another body)

If you ask Hasbro they would probably mention cost or experimentation (like they did in the 3.75 line. Or they are just lazy

It depends on the people I guess.

Well there was a little bit of bias when I chose them

Plus it means they could start doing the Hellfire Club

I like the first one, with all the dead

At least X-Pool came with Madcap's head, though a proper Madcap would have been nice

At least Lady DP is a separate character and not just a costume(less) variant. Still I am getting tired of Hasbro's 2 of the same character in a wave.

Agree, at least with Mantis, Hasbro said the reason she was the BAF was due to getting a super-sized regular Death's Head 2 (who was planned to be the BAF), there was no excuse for Okoye though.

All aboard the Hype Train!

Pantless DP was a joke that shouldn't have been made, Maverick, heck even Adam X-Terme would have been a better choice.

It would be cool actually

Or the Grizzly, he's a big character

Or sell them. I liked the Marvel Now Tony, but yeah it could have done with more stuff. It seems that Marvel are skimping on the accessories with some figures (Iron Spidey for example)

Yeah it does, still hoping Hasbro will do something like this for the 80th Anniversary

Thanks, I tried to make it a mix of known and obscure characters and roughly 40 heroes and 40 villains

and it would go well with the 80th Thor

Love the Mysterio POP and Molten man looks freaky

https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/LGQJX7C I remember during the 70th Anniversary Celebrations Hasbro did a figure poll for Marvel Universe. I thought it would be fun to do a Marvel legends version for the 80th Anniversary. 80 characters famous and obscure to choice from. Simply click on the link above and pick your favourite 8 and I'll announce the results next Monday

Shame they didn't pick a Wanda costume that was a bit more different to the last one.

Yeah, shame I'm running out of space, so I need to choose my Pops carefully
