I also like many of Hasbro's offerings despite the loss of some articulation(toe, finger, and ab-crunch specifically for female figs) and a bit of buck-abuse(I would like more variety in sculpts/detail - MORE "new" bucks should be rolled out to give the Aim Scientist-Soldier/Starlord some company).

However, this is a Spidey specific line and the character doesn't have many "large" rogues in his gallery (not that haven't already been done; i.e. Rhino, Blackheart, Kingpin, Venom, and so on.). I've read some mentions of Spider Slayer. I suppose they could do a Professor Power, but he's not that much larger than a regular person. Once, Silvermane wore an exo-suit that made him roughly 8' tall. Maybe they could make a "comic" BAF Sandman in one of his more towering forms, or possibly that hulking monstrosity he and Hydro-man combined to form at one point....but all of my suggestions are pretty obscure and lack brand recognition, which unfortunately factors heavily into whether or not something gets made. While I'm not chomping at the bit to get Hobgoblin, he's appropriate for this line and both casual fans and hardcore heads recognize him.

I think it's safe to say that the days of the 10-12" Baf are over (sad, I know...especially considering I was hoping one day we'd get a Stranger fig). On the bright side, we are still getting larger figs in drips and drabs. I love my Blastaar, Terrax (even if he's too big), Iron Monger, Mandroid, and Hulk (ruffalo/movie). Then of course there is the Thanos that many of us are looking forward to....and I'm still holding out hope for a Baf Lockjaw.

Edit: or just a Lockjaw period, be it Baf or not.....

I teach kids and i tell them it's better to say something than regret never saying it. Obviously there are times when it's kb your best interest to stay quiet.

But essentially we must complain. To many products die because of lack of knowledge or care especially when there is no competition.

I lived Breyers Ice cream but 5 years ago they changed their ingredients and added cheap filler that they claimed improved the product. In reality it destroyed the best big brand available. Long story short, complain and bad mouth it much as possible was the right thing to do. Not enough did and its now just trash like every other big corporate owned brand.

If we as consumers truly care we will demand better from them. They can shove that Jubilee baf you know where. Give me My real Baf.
