They gave us a repainted doom which is 10-20 cheaper then the ff line doom. And Mystique is the only 1 annoying me due to reuse of the headsculpt, but it looks better on here then any of the other 2 female figures. I think Hasbro is smart, selling 2 deadpools, and cashing in on hype, ppl love these and want to buy the old school toybiz stuff. The next wave after these 2 will have the mini baf, requiring like 3 figures bought to complete. Then after that I can see a large baf being made. ... but I do dig the bases they come in handy.

true, I do have quite a little collection of those bases going now between Avengers and Spidey, but as much as I like them, they're really not a great replacement, value wise, to the BAF pieces. but my real problem isn't really what we're getting, because I think it's a good idea to have a wave where people can pick and choose who they want and not have to worry about having to get them all to finish the BAF. My problem is with their explanation, they seem to have been planning this wave since the beginning, but since they didn't have a BAF for it, they just kinda brushed it off saying that they hadn't planned for there to be so much time in between wave two and three (something that they have complete control of anyway) that they just threw this together last minute to tide us over. the actual practice isn't that bad in my opinion, it's the fact that they felt the need to make up P.R. about it that is.
