I could easily see Spiderman being remade into Giant Man and Iron Man being remade into a Sentinel. Although, the Sentinel is unlikely due to the HasLab version coming.

I made that suggestion years ago when they first announced as a potential use, not necessarily as a speculative projection and currently I've zero expectations of seeing these as BAF parts (or otherwise).

The captioned sentiment is that the outfit decisions they've made for many of the 12" figs (laced combat boots, textured details like chainmail/armor, and seamed clothing) rule out almost any repurposing. Honestly, I wouldn't even want that Spider-Man reused as a Giant-Man as the body is too lithe.

The overall point I'm making is that this line was a wasted opportunity and there were calls from the onset for Hasbro to use it for some of the giants of Marvel's pantheon. One has to wonder had they gone with a Stranger, Atlas, or even Micromax for use with the 6" scale could they have anchored the line. Doubtful given that a couple of Spider Men, a pair of Deadpools and dual Thors didn't do the trick. However, considering that a few collectors were vocal about scepticism regarding the line's longevity, Hasbro could have thrown a couple of bones our way as some more fan-service...

I'd buy Stranger in a heartbeat.

Edit: There were three Deadpools (lulz that was a good idea.. /s) and one of those Thors was an Icons...
