[thejikas]

we demand close ups on the demon sir...

[TCM Hitchhiker]

Groovy

[bigsexy_j]

nice haul, any variants?

[Sledge Hammer!]

They look great, if I was still collecting DC figs proper then I'd be all over these...

It's a bit of a shame that Orion doesn't have an alternate (ugly/angry) head though.

[burngwngs]

damn, that BAF sucks balls.

[Ecmagee1984]

Sweet, I hope we get a BAF Giant Man

[psychodad]

nice stuff

[Starfig]

damn, that BAF sucks balls.

Apparently I don't understand...why does it suck balls? I thought it looked rather cool.

[WhO Iz THiZ Iz]

damn...got demon, bats, and the penguin...dint see the other two....lucky you...

nice haulin!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[worldsfinest]

holy crap!!!! those are awesome.

[Karnis]

Nice grabs. I might have to find that Orion.

[CardiacArrest]

You lucky bastich!

[Disconnekted]

Oh hell no.

I'm finally winding down on my collecting and then this happens.

Keep this line away from me.

[bigbadwolfdaddy]

what is the BAF,sorry don't follow DC but those just may change that

[Holeman]

Metamorpho.

[MarkG]

nice haul, any variants?

No, I didnt find any. When I got there they only had the ones I picked up and an extra Batman fig.
I like this BAF. When I first saw pics online I thought it was a pass, but I'm glad I didnt. I like how the big hand , hammer, and base piece come off.

[Andree]

Thanks for the Metamorpho pics MarkG, I just got Etrigan today in the mail. I was expecting the "Collect and Connect" figure piece to be way bigger, its about the size of a 6" Spiderman figure's arm. I don't understand why Mattel didn't just sell Metamorpho as a standard figure instead of breaking him up as a BAF since he's so small. I'm still not sure it I want Meatamorpho, I was only interested Etrigan out this series and I don't really care for the other figures. As for the Demon, Etrigan rules!!! he's as big as Mongul (he can look him right in the eye), has a great paintjob (no slop anywhere), pretty poseable, and has no problem standing on his own.

***Dynomite***

Very nice haul. That BAF is really cool. I've only seen the Red Tornado so far.

[burngwngs]

it's just My opinion dude. ;)

[burngwngs]

BAF has nothing to do with DC, it stands for Build a figure. When regular figs come with parts of another figure to build.

[MikeK]

Wow, you were lucky to find new stuff at this time of year.

[ralph427]

Awesome! Nice finds, here is hoping they hit NY/NJ soon.

[sabresrule07]

coool

[Morgbug]

If anyone wants to part with their BAF figures, I'd be interested. I'm only interested in Penguin and Bats figures at this point but Metamorpho is a huge memory from my childhood comic days so I need the three other parts. I'm in Canada, but have a US shipping addy too.

[Marauderspawn]

Sweet like candy!

[MikeK]

That packaging alone is fifty times better than what Mattel was using before. Those colors really stand out.

[Green-eye Glow]

all of them look good except for batman... he looks like balls

i mean seriously, how many times are they gonna re-use that ******ed sculpt?

[metal_hellspawn]

Very cool haul

[MarkG]

Thanks for the comments everyone!! I may be parting ways with some of the figs I dont really want(Orion, Red Tornado, and Demon) LMK if anyones interested.

[marblehead007]

Seems like every company is having a BAF line these days.

[The Myth]

very nice indeed. cannot wait till i can get my hands on these.

fantastic haul, thanks for the pics

Well something is better than nothing. We used to pay ten dollars for the batman and superman figures and they still came with nothing. So I can't complain.

Now I hope I see batman beyond done comic book style.:D

He's almost entirly newly sculpted.

Future C&C figs are planned to be bigger than the norm figs (still not as big as the ML BAF....but still bigger)......Metamorpho is merely an exception. I suspect because his leg/hand extensions make him bigger than the rest.

That packaging alone is fifty times better than what Mattel was using before. Those colors really stand out.
Yup....awesome touch to keep the pic of each character into a mere sliver (which only shows barely their entire face)....this is great for moc if it weren't for the C&C character.

nice haul, any variants?Only 2....I believe the Red Tornado in the pic IS a variant (the norm is the modern version one). The other is Penguin w/ a mechanical penguin.

[mmevile]

Seems like every company is having a BAF line these days.That's what happens when something is an excellent marketing tool. On one hand, it gives companies "almost a guarantee" that consumers will buy the whole set.....and on the other, it gives hardcore collectors a character that normally wouldn't be made due to lack of commercial interest. ;)

[CJF28]

ok, im not much of a DC guy, but how is the Red Tornado in the pic, different than the current version?

mostly, I would agree with ya. Except with the Legandary Heroes line. I want the Pitt BAF so bad, but I refuse to plunk down the 40-50 bucks it would take to get him

You may not....but most people did. ;) Excellent move by toy companies.

[TsunamiZ]

nice

oh yea. I know. Sucks for me. Good for others.

[CJF28]

i mean really, its good for all. The less toys left on the shelf, the more likely the store will re order. Thats something alot of toy companies seem to not understand. Sure, Spiderman is having to make toys, but when 9 out of the 12 figures in the case are spidermans, and not Kravens or Black Cats or Green Goblins, the extras sit. With BAF, it moves all the figures in the set. keeping the pegs fresh

ok, take it easy on me. Im from the sports board for gods sake. But I dont see any difference other than the yellow line going down the pants leg. Is there something else im missing?

[BiBLE]

I saw in this months ToyFare that you could buy that entire set of "six" for ninety-nine bucks plus shipping.
I guess even though you only get five figures, somehow you are paying for "six."
Some dealers are about one grade below roach crap and puke.

See I don't buy that. How is Metamorpho more obscure than Orion or Etrigan? BAF's should be larger figures. This character we wouldn't get if it wasn't a BAF business is BS. I'm so tired of all these Orion and Etrigan figures. Why'd they have to make more for this DC Universe line?;)

[BiBLE]

At the rate Hasbro is going, they will maintain the title of smallest BAF. The next Mattel Grodd is a step in the bigger right direction.

[Peter Hoffman]

all of them look good except for batman... he looks like balls

i mean seriously, how many times are they gonna re-use that ******ed sculpt?


It's a new sculpt, so....

[CJF28]

It's a new sculpt, so....

thank you. I wanted to say the same thing, but since Im not a toy board guy, I wasnt sure if I was right or not

[daeng]

congrats..i see the MOC picture of the figs, where they put the BAF parts?in the bottom orf the card?
anyway, i prefer the dc direct metamorpho..still the best metamorpho..imo, wish i could find one:(

[WhO Iz THiZ Iz]
