The largest BAF Hasbro has done is the Hulkbuster which is actually a decent BAF.

I agree. Toy Biz really brought a passion and craft to their work that hasn't been seen since by any company really. Maybe McFarlane back in the day at certain points.

I think Hasbro is doing a much better job as of 2016 then they were doing for the first—what was it—8 years? They have upped their game and I actually respect them now whereas I used to have mostly negative things to say.

I don't know where I'm going with this. I'm not sure what the reason is for lack of accessories and nice BAFs....I think it will be a mystery of whether it was price of plastic or Hasbro being cheap. Just like how many licks it takes to get to the tootsie roll center of a tootsie pop....the world may never know.

They could do something similar for Marvel Legends. It would be even easier with a regular wheel chair since it's smaller than the hover chair.

It will be hard to top the chair from the Toy Biz Legends. It was just such a great design. Plus it was from the movie mold, and I love that version of the chair so perhaps I'm biased. But it will be nice to get a new body for Professor X. Whatever they use, it's got to be able to sit down lol.

Technically I have been collecting longer than that, but I got more serious about it when I was about 13.

As for my collection....we all know your collections are never truly finished. Figures will get replaced by updated versions, new franchises come out with tie-in figures, etc.

I'm hoping to come into a decent living in the next 5-7 years, so I can at least buy all the old figures I want and focus on new releases. My Wants list is really daunting in length...
