Sorry about your family hope all is good but anyway it’s definitely worth it because That Thanos is one badass Figure.

I know you're probably right. I'm just salty that I won't be getting a toy of one of my favorite characters because it would require me also buying five toys I don't really want. I know Hasbro could have done an Apocalypse on his own because they just gave us Thanos on his own (albeit as an exclusive) and we got AoU Hulk on his own and both of those are sizable figures, the Colossus body would have been a great starting point for us to get something like his first appearances. Maybe Hasbro will still do an individual Apocalypse one day, Toybiz did him both individually and as a BAF and Hasbro is doing this now with Venom.

Shoot me a PM and let me know what you want to trade. I have one NIB I want gone.

The BAF looks like Tony Moore's depiction of Venom.

My favorite armor design. Wish the figure would get an update.

Well... shit.
That's the best BAF idea I've heard in a while. Kinda bummed that I don't own a Nimrod figure, now.

Thanks for the thought! Unfortunately this has been a crap year for collecting so far except for me finding the first Avengers wave a week or so early, literally nothing to trade here at all. And the order is already placed. but it's all good, really needed to buy something anyways, it makes me happy (I think I have an addiction to buying stuff.)

Now that we're gettin Sauron out of the way, Nimrod moves into the top spot of my most wanted BAF. Followed by Shadow King, Atlas, and Attuma, though I wonder if Attuma could be done as a regular figure. I am really hoping that if the Hoverchair isn't the next X-wave's BAF/V thing then it is Nimrod, but I also know many people want Strong Guy, a character I honestly could give two craps about.

Actually Cable and Stryfe are the same height.

Wondering if the head from the old Select Ultimate Venom can be re-purposed for it. The figure itself would make a perfect base and it would be an easy enough repaint. I never was a terrible fan of Gargan Venom.

good question, i dont know. i just found that picture on facebokk from a fig news site

odd because I could have sworn Stryfe looked a bit shorter in Shartimus Prime's review of him.

This is from his review.

I meant his recent Cable review when he had the two side by side. OH well, I must have been mistaken which makes me wish I had gotten Stryfe that day I saw him.

I think Walgreens should also start getting exclusive figs of over sized classic characters such as Nimrod, Champion, Titanium man, Chod, since it seems that Hasbro is very reluctant to put them in a regular wave unless they are the BAF, problem is, with their heavy MCU driven character usage, not all us classic comic figure collectors want to buy the entire wave just to get a classic Stronguy fig.

Making an umpteenth different Venom BAF is really getting to be a joke. Instead of that SP//der crap, why not a classic Kingpin as the BAF?

We all don't NEED nor WANT kirby,ditko, romita style characters considering this is technically a childrens toy line and not marketed mainly on adult collectors,
And kids don't know the difference but I don't mind the Sp//dr BAF as im a spidey fan of both new and old.

Dude keep your icy hot and aqua velva in the medicine cabinet, I'm sure eventually we'll get some old school characters. However the version of them is always up in the air.

You say that as if Venom is had a plethora of Legends figures to begin with. If you count his offshoots like Superior Venom, and Anti-Venom, he still has only a whopping 5 figures total, and that covers the lifetime of the entire 20 plus years of the line Legends-wise. He didn't even get a proper Universe figure when those were popular. You had to go through one of the branching lines.

MCU Thor has received 4 figures in the last year alone, with Deadpool closing in on close to ten in the last 2 years.

Monster Venom is kinda lame (again...I wanted Ultimate Venom) but then again, it is his wave, and therefore it should be Venom related. Currently his wave is stuffed with filler figures that have nothing or very little to do with character, like Mary and Ham, and two re-releases, which is kind of a bummer. I agree that a new Kingpin would be nice, but he wouldn't have been a good fit there, as he is someone Venom has rarely...if ever, has tangled with.

Give the Kingpin his own wave, but make it full of characters that he regularly employs or has as rivals, such as Mr. Negative, Smyth, Kingpin (Black) Cat and The Rose. We have been long overdue for an all villains wave.

Not sure if this was talked about already, but I saw this picture of Spider Ham in package. Is it just me or does he come with 2 different BAF bodies? Anyone know what's up with this?

It’s the same torso. You’re just seeing the the front and the back of it before it’s assembled to make the full thing.

Haha you’re not only I actually bought it for full price as well. I for one actually really wanted/Love the set. I have two of them couldn’t pass it up for $12 when I saw it at target last month

I really like the pack but not enough to scoop up a second. Maybe when I get the upcoming Killmonger pack I can swap Ego's 2nd head onto the Ross figure and just have Kurt Russell in a suit, unless the joints don't match.
