FEAR THE BAT said:I would like to see what Rough mentions, BAfs that aren't gonna be made to be made under ICONS. But what would even be better is if each ICON came with a BAF piece for a 20-24inch figure.
FEAR THE BAT said:Y'know, I think it'd be cool to have shelves with different "scenes" instead of everybody just looking out at you. The idea you have for a city takes it to another level though.
I'm looking forward to that monster.
SpiderHulkThing said:sorry bat. this idea would really, really piss me off. you know they'd make it so you'd have to buy each icon, like ummasked spiderman and masked spiderman etc to complete the BAF. And then you'd have to spend $90 just to get all the peices. Screw that.
I think they should just make the BAFs one fig instead like rough said, or just keep doing them with reg MLs.
SpiderHulkThing said:a ML city? I'd be all over that.
FEAR THE BAT said:I know it sucks. I was gonna see who'd be the first to b**** about it.
And you WON!!!!!
Maxim said:A line for re-releases like LOTR Trilogy. Smaller package, no old bases/BAFs, just figures. Great for new fans who may have missed out on some older figures.

InsertScreenName said:Marvel Collectors line, a 6" scale line for the collectors that really makes those obscure/lurid characters that won't make it on a Wal Mart peg. Runs of five to ten thousand, like the Marvel Select/DCDirect line, but really popular because it rides the coattails of the Marvel Legends line which sells cases in the hundreds of thousands. Hasbro has the ability to do this, at least it has a better chance than Toybiz Worldwide, and most of the sculpts can be borrowed from the ML line. An opportunity to make Son of Satan and Mephisto and lewd White Queen, and to complete teams. Sure, Guardian (w/ a Pack in Puck) and Box have a decent shot at making it to a Wal Mart peg, but Northstar, Shaman, and Snowbird do not. So make the remaining Alpha Flight characters in the Marvel Collectors line! Black Bolt, Medusa, a BAFed Lockjaw, maybe Gorgon, sure ML. But Karnak and Triton? More in the in area of a 10,000 production run for the Marvel Collectors line.
AlphaAttourny said:I can do without extra stuff like the card game and I guess even the comics (although I do like them, I don't find them necessary). I think a sticker of a recognizable logo could be cool, like a big deadpool sticker, cap's shield, Thor's Hammer, Spidey's head, stuff like that. People would stick them around random places and it would be like subtle viral advertising.
SpiderHulkThing said:why would you give them such a crap idea? would you really buy up all the icons if you didn't really want the figures from them, just for the BAF peices?
SpiderHulkThing said:yeah. well i'm glad you hate your own idea. because, that's the worst freaking idea in the world. i hate it. i want to put it on paper, burn it, take a dump on it, flush it down the toilet and have a rat with rabies (emphasis on rabies) eat it. Then the rat would eat poision and would be burried.
SpiderHulkThing said:i was worried that you actually thought that was a good idea at first. i was really starting to worry about you. i feel relieved though.
