Skurge the Executioner BAF Wave

[Schizm]

While true, the potential value gain is if the sculpting and accessory budget for the BAF is allocated to the remaining 6 figures, it might result in less reuses and open up options for other figures currently being skipped due to development costs.

Potential value yes - but we've seen this isn't what Hasbro has done. When BAF waves transitioned into Retro waves, we actually lost TWO figures because almost every carded wave is six figures instead of seven. And the price stayed the same.

And to top that off, carded waves are full of just as much re-use as regular waves - the first Across the Spider-Verse being the biggest exception to both.

This doesn't really make sense though, as figures are sold individually and not as waves. You're not "losing" anything if a wave has 6 vs 7 figures; you're paying the same amount per figure, there just aren't as many of them. I don't disagree about the BAF, though, unless someone can go through the retro waves and show a higher percentage of new/unique sculpts vs BAF waves.

Packing the head and axe parts in with the fugly IM armour instead of the WW2 Logan is a decision I’m not thrilled by, and there are other factors like the lack of new sculpt or alternate parts on Werewolf that feel really lazy, but I think the BAF will encourage me to get the whole wave all the same as it looks like a great execution of a character I didn’t really want or need after I quite liked and was satisfied by the movie Karl Urban version.

I think that’s always neat, when a figure can be enjoyed for being great even if of a character I have little to no care for.
