No excuse for rocket not having leg articulation. DOUBLY SO that he's a BAF.

He probably does, but like the other Marvel Universe figure, it'll be cut joints based on a plug and socket design.

at 10x the price...

20 times the product at 10 times the price. . .sounds like a bargain to me.

Actually Groot is the BAF.

 

[Viking Spawn]

It may be because you know the product HT produces. Hard to go anywhere else after that. I know it is for me.

True.

 

[Deckard]

Actually Groot is the BAF.

You sure about that? As someone pointed out to me, comic Rocket was just a BAF in another wave and this version we're seeing doesn't have leg articulation just like the previous Rocket BAF.

 

[lerath666]

if he's not the BAF, that's even worse!

Perhaps. But no one can touch them right now. They have the market cornered.

There probably is, with such tiny and thin feet, it would be a pain in the *** the balance, so I understand the fixed leg pose.

For 1/6 figures. There's a significant difference between price points and who they are selling to.

It's apples and oranges (or apples and grapes because Hasbro figures are small lololol).

With joints in the legs of the Ewoks and young Boba in Hasbro's 3 3/4" line, there's really no reason these figures couldn't have had them.

 

[Sachiel]

Awww yeeeah!

Ronan.

Korath.

 

[thenammagazine]

WTF is up with all the "Kenner" articulation? Haven't we evolved from the lame 5-points garbage?

 

[Deckard]

The heck is in Rocket's head? A metal plate? He's Eddie from Christmas Vacation in this?

I don't know, both still seem bigger than this:

They would have to be bigger like this badass custom.

I have the first one. There'z zero articulation in the legs. The second looks to be the same figure, but customized. The Ewoks are no bigger than the Rocket from the 3-Pack, so again, no excuse other than budgetary reasons... which shouldn't be an issue given his shorter size = less plastic overall.

 

[Deckard]

But if he's the BAF, that makes him an accessory. Which is probably why theres no budget for articulation in the legs. I assume they instead have to spend extra to joint him in a way that he can be assembled.

And I still want to know why that mask has a metal plate on Rocket's head. It's on the one in the box too.

 

[Uncanny Web-Slinger]

They should do RR & Groot plush cuddlies

The other BAFs have all had articulation. The ones in the current Cap and Spider-Man lines are unique sculpts all completely articulated. So unless these figures are going to be less than $20 a pop, that doesn't make sense.

 

[Deckard]

I could be mistaken but don't you need 6 figures to complete the new Spiderman Goblin and Cap wave BAFs. Where I think Rocket will consist of 4 pcs. Could have to do with that. You'd have to spend $120 vs $80 to complete them.

But look at how big those BAFs are compared to little Rocket.
