Marvel BAFs: Asunder

BAFs: Terrax, Blob, Fin Fang Foom, Anihilus, Armin Zola

Collecting can vary with the myriad of genres that supply tangible trinkets for people to purchase and 'collect'. The crowd of collectors can vary from Jordan collectors, Autographs, China Set, Books, and while there are a dozen others out there in the waters, obviously I fall in the category of Toy Collecting. Even in Toy Collecting there are sub sections to delve into! Comic books, Anime, Video game paraphernalia! Then we can even scrutinize even further by splitting comic books into their respected companies such as Marvel and DC ... etc. So now let's go into the meat! Toy collecting... I won't go in depth details as to it, but as of right now I am VERY much into the BAFs collecting craze. With the collection I have right now, I take full pride when I complete a certain character with the expensive and time strenuous effort through store searching and internet surfing.

BAFs completed: Iron Monger, Rulk, Onlsaught, and Apocalypse.

But just from the picture above, some have laid dormant in my collection and may or MAY never ever see full assembly. There are a couple of other missing pieces from other BAFs that I KNEW I wasn't going to collect from the get go so I threw away immediately(Brood, Mojo, and M.O.D.O.K.). But for some reason, I kept a couple and the picture above are what I have. Makes me ponder if I SHOULD. Let's delve into the complete 'family' tree of these BAFs shall we?

All pictures are from Marvellegends.net.

This was the first Marvel Legends that Hasbro produced that I came across with. Anihilus may have came first, but for some reason, I saw Blob first. Err... yeah no. And Movie Jean Grey? Wow. Atrocious.

I have Planet Hulk and Ultimate Iron Man. HAD Banshee... But as for the rest? White Drag Queen?! Err, I might've considered this guy, but seeing as I threw the wing of Anihilus away and we have a butch version of Emma Frost? Yeah No.

Now this guy! Hasbro made a lot of Legends BAFs and some of them are directed to certain characters. They made a FF BAF exclusive, a Spider-Man movie verse(yuck), and Hulk, which is where Fin Fang Foom omitted from. This Dragon is colossal! Probably the biggest BAF Hasbro has done. Suffice it to say, I'm not going to have Doc Samson or Absorbing man in my shelf or even SPEND the money on them. So... it may be a pass altogether.

The toy community raved when they announced Marvel Legends' return with a new BAF. With the exception of Klaw, these are all acceptable and enamoring characters! Thor doesn't come with a piece for some reason though so he is more of a fan service than a piece to build. Suffice it to say... this guy might see the light! (MIGHT is a very loose term for 'hell yeah').

Yup. So that concludes my rant in regards to this toy line. There are a few more coming out from Hasbro and ... believe me... I may have more problems with the lack of space in my room in the near/far future.
