Dad-Banshee wore the same team uniform boots in his flight jacket look, so they could repurpose those parts there too.

I'd love for Skin to have the zipped open shirt with the cross necklace look instead of the standard uniform. Being "out of uniform" like that puts out a lot of his character, just like Jubes with her jacket.

Damn, I really want this team now.

Skin needs to be new. Do it right or don't bother.  I get that in 2024 we're lucky to have them at all, but I will always hold it up to my adolescence where the books were "hot" and Toy Biz made some cool shit supporting it. I can wait, but Mondo and Skin should be new.  That Orphan Maker guy was sick as well.

Mostly just invested for more Banshee so I can swap heads between figures as needed.  I wouldn't be opposed to the Celtics jacket version but with multiple heads so we can have the John Lennon glasses version to go on the UX275 blue/gold body.

And hopefully Paige's screaming head will make way for a screaming head for Siryn as well.

Mondo is the obvious BAF candidate, and I don't even like Mondo as a character and he technically wasn't on the team given the evil clone storyline.  But I do think they could have a cool looking figure if they invested in the sculpt and paint to have all manner of gnarled tree roots and limbs imbedded into him along with bark mushrooms and moss etc.

Emplate and his weirdo chauffer are a foregone conclusion obviously.  A woody Black Tom would be worth the rebuy if he's better looking than the last bland version we got.  I wouldn't mind the GenX / Gene Nation Marrow either, dunno that I need the rest of Gene Nation though; but a lot of folks would probably be happy to finally see some version of Hemingway finally get released.

The Skin custom I still haven't started is Retro FF Reed with X-Man's head.

It's 1:10 Eastern. Are these not going on Pulse?

I ordered Cyclops, the only figure I wanted, from Amazon.

@wthiotina 

Right!  it's 1:15 now and they still aren't up.  EE and BBTS have the set up, but I wanted to get it from Pulse since I'm a Premium Member.

Nerdzoic is selling BAF singular, or you can buy the figures individually without the BAF part for a discounted price.  Fabian Cortez & Husk are showing $10.

I ordered the whole wave through Amazon and doubled up on AOA Gambit.  But it's nice that someone's selling loose like Dorkside used to do.

I made this years ago, and we've already gotten M, and now Husk is coming:

I went ahead and pre-ordered the full wave on BBTS. I was originally going to skip Wolverine but decided to go ahead and get him also. Husk is the one that I'm most excited for although I really dig Fabian and Marrow also.

Only pre-ordering Husk and Marrow because I've wanted them for thirty years. The other ones I might skip entirely... if I had any willpower, but I don't so I'll probably end up with all of them at a later, discounted point. I hate unfinished BAFs, even ones I don't care about.

OK - pre-orders in for the entire wave.   

 

I'm sort of low key hoping that Cortez is the one that is available cheap later on.   Having extra Acolyte bodies to customize into other members of the group could probably be handy and easy to do -  at least for some of the less freaky members.

Why can't I find them on Amazon? I'm searching the BAF, I'm searching the individuals, but nothing's coming up.

Edit: I searched by "newest" and found them.

The one time I'm ready and waiting for them on Pulse, and they still haven't popped up. Ridiculous.
