Do you remember that the Onslaught wave was going to have a henchmen ( AIM, Hydra agent, Hand ninja, and a couple others, that is why it was an all villians line) with every figure in addition to the BAF figure???? and the Onslaught was going to be closer to 12-14 inches tall. The oil crisis at the time nixed all that and led to the downfall of BAF size and less and less with the figures. Remember that the MOJO wave that each figure was to come with one of the X-babies??? They started OK with Hasbro with Anihillius and Blob, even Red Hulk and the Brood Queen (going off of size not how good of a figure) were worth it at the time, but even as much as I like them even doing characters like Puck and Hit Monkey I remember a time when small "Accessory Characters" like Howard the Duck and The Impossible Man were pack ins and a BAF was worth getting the whole line for.

I remember! I was pissed we never got those henchmen! I've been there since the beginning too. Don't get me wrong, I like BAF's, but I'd rather we get good ones, not midgets.

I really like that Nighthawk and the new Nova, I'd like to see them!
