Okay, how about a retooled version with updated articulation, something done about the hinge that always cracks, and made available to all the latecomers like myself who don't want to choose between a car payment and a BAF?

(That's not hating on you, because that's mad cool that you've got one, but I know plenty of people who don't, and can't justify the cost)

As far as other X-BAFs... I agree that Rockslide, Armor, and Ch'od seem like safe bets. I'd lobby for Tusk - despite being a low-profile character, he's arguably the most well-known of the Riders of the Storm/Dark Riders, having received a figure back in the 5" days, a speaking/plot-relevant appearance in the 90s cartoon (as well as featuring in the second Japanese opening sequence!), and being a boss from the Mutant Apocalypse SNES game. Astral Armor Shadow King is a good bet. I suppose one of the problems with any other potential BAFs is that they're all characters who don't appear much outside of with their given teams - Blockbuster, Sunder, Hemingway, Mondo, a number of Acolytes, Slab... I guess a tree-based Black Tom wouldn't be off the table. Or a Mammomax.

Related-but-off-topic question - if Hasbro released a Generation X Penance, would they release her as "Marvel's Penance," or "Marvel's Hollow," on the off-chance that they'd do Civil War Penance, aka Speedball/Bleedball?
