I really like the new Rogue's face, but I just can't get behind that hair. Looks...off.

i hear you,i have a bucket full of gimmick weapons and powers effects.what i never understood was why the think tank at marvel hasbro did not release BAF parts with the 3.75" line instead of those gimmicks,or some style of modular tony stark that you could attach armor too.

Grabbed him from the Chinese seller on eBay - buying from US sellers is so expensive now that they almost have to use eBays 'international customs services', combined with not being bothered about the packaging.

On the BAF it's because doing a character like that in that scale may prove too annoying for the fans to purchase full sets if they aren't completionists. Especially if it's a much in demand character that should have his own figure. There's also the problem that the figures aren't designed in a way where putting them together is possible. It'd disproportionately stretch the cost of the figures as it is by increasing the volume.

Smaller figures like rocket, or howard the duck, or even Lockjaw are possible, but normal sized characters would end up as four pieces (Torso with arms, each leg, and the head). Which doesn't work very well for B-A-F.

Larger scale figures can spread it out more like say if they did something close to the Incredible Hulk movie's scale for a character and could alleviate that, but not sure how much that'd increase already rising costs.

The inbetween size would be an issue though. Like the current MU Thanos that was made as a carded figure. Where they can't evenly distribute the cost to each figure for each limb that well.

A B-A-F is possible, but it'd require an entirely new type of assembly for the figure potentially.

It's also highly annoying for fans that want that figure and not all the others though. So personally, I kind of thank them for that. It's one thing getting doubles in comic packs, it's another when you have to buy an entire case assortment to get one figure you want.

The line was also supposed to stay slightly more kid friendly as something they could pick up their favorites to intermingle in with GI Joes, and the B-A-F fan driven business kind of takes away from that.

Could you imagine how annoying that'd be for an infinity war movie, that the only way to get the 3.75'' line Thanos is to buy all the movie figures? Especially when fan favorites and shortpacked figures you may never find? Let alone how annoying that'd be for a kid that wants Thanos for his toys to fight, but their parents won't buy them all the toys since they have so many from previous movies?

Better to single card those kind of figures.
There were too many complaining about that already with Thanos in the 6'' legends line.


As for the Modular Ironman though. That'd be awesome, but it'd be a hell of a lot of small parts to get lost and will get lost. And how much it might shatter if you dropped it and all that armor scatters everywhere to places unknown.

The 3.75 isn't only for kids, but it does have to factor in that kids are a large chunk of the sales, and even us collectors sometimes have a habit of losing pieces too. So it's better to leave some of that to the more collector only centered lines that Japan does. It's a similar issue that the trans-armor die-cast Kamen Rider figures had and their audience and costs can better handle those kinds of demands.

Toy Biz did something like that with the armor swap system from the 90s Ironman cartoon series line. Great figures, but even they had to tone it back from what they originally wanted to do because it wasn't cost-effective nor drop proof. I'd imagine the same would prove true here.

Actually, I wouldn't be surprised if the Hydra cap gets announced at SDCC this year since we've been getting so much ANAD stuff as of late.

If you don't want them, send them to me.

This Joe 3 pack that was unveiled at SDCC looks like it would be great for some generic SHEILD members. You could buy three of these and replace the heads with other modern Joe heads. Also, it comes with that amazing sniper rifle case accessory.

The body over here looks like it'll make for a good Luke Cage custom. I'm not a fan of the buck they used for him. It looks like the skin tones of both figures already match.

And, if you think it looks cooler, you don't even have to swap out the legs and hands if you want Cage to look like he's packing extra firepower.

I've been keeping a close eye on joes too, I need that chuck Norris! He doesn't do push ups, he pushes the earth down.
Also can't wait for that zombie gi joe 2 pack, and the boss fight zombies. Who knows maybe someday hasbro will do some marvel zombies as a con exclusive or something.

The only way I'd be able to get my hands on that Cage is by hiring an elite team to rob Raf (pm if interested).

Also, thanks! I thought it was that Avatar mech.

A Marvel Zombies SDCC set would make me flip my shit. I was also thinking about using that zombie 2 pack for this line. It could be some SHIELD agents that got infected with a Kree virus or something.

You can't name a toy chuck Norris because nobody plays with chuck Norris.
I'm going to get a cowboy hat and make him Brodell Walker (Texas ranger). One more bro gets added to my bro force.
