I like the colors on Scientist Supreme and generally he's just got a pretty sharp look. The tech-pad accessory is neat, I like that both sides of the screen are sculpted and they're even different. He pairs well with MODOK but I don't have any AIM goons for them to command, I might see to that at some point in the future. Hood on his own is a fairly disappointing figure (beyond his ability to act as a soon-to-be victim of Xemnu who is vewy hungwy) but his pistols are nice and his body can be head-swapped into a solid background civilian. His cloak is amusingly too big for him, meaning that if you have him wearing it correctly then he can't stand upright because it goes down past his feet.

Finally there's Xemnu and while not flawless I really like how he turned out overall. My main gripe, as I've said before I even had him, is that they made his cyber-tummy a belt-piece instead of a new lower torso. I get that this method was way cheaper and easier but it makes him look like he's wearing a belt and it restricts the ab crunch. The parts that are new (head, hands, and feet) came out really well even if his head's range of movement is quite limited. I recognize that Xemnu is not even remotely a very popular character and the chances of him ever getting a deluxe release later in the line are slim to none so all in all I'm happy with how this BAF turned out, I am, I am.

Happy to help man, glad to see those parts in action rather than rotting away in my closet!
