Like Phantomcrow, I have the pink BAF for Annihilus. I like the figure. They came close enough to an old school approximation of the character, which always scores points with me. His look for Annihilation was very cool, but I think it would've been a tricky sculpt given how stylized the design was - thin arms/wrists, thin laser-light antennae, over-sized wings, and cricket legs. The current mold takes some creative posing to stand with the giant wings and I can only imagine that a more lithe body would up the difficulty level. You may want to grab one because I'm not sure they're going to get around to another version anytime soon, but you never know.

The Surfers from Hasbro are not my cup of tea. I have the Ronan Surfer, and in spite of wanting the Planet Hulk Surfer, I just cannot pull the trigger. The buck is that lamentable Vision/Klaw buck. My biggest gripe with it is that its undersized. Surfer's doesn't have a hulking physique, but he also isn't a milk-toast fly-weight. In addition to being smaller, its not painted very well and there will be no dynamic posing with its stiff articulation. My favorite is the Toy Biz surfer. Very pose-friendly, proper build (gaunt but wiry/sinewy - strong looking), and ok hands (although they could use work - the "E.T." phone home finger must go). I'm hoping mightily that Surfer gets a remake soon with the Black Panther buck and swap out hands. (I've posted pics of these figs on this thread, but if you want, I can throw something up of Hasbro-Ronan Surfer and Toybiz - however, I don't have Select or Planet Hulk)

Ronan? Well, I bought the case for the line and built him outright (and considering the cost of him now, it was money well spent). Life's short. I'd go for it, I don't think you'll regret it....unless of course a new one comes out after you buy it!
