Hasbro Marvel Legends Mini-Comic Wave 2 Feral And Phoenix (Rachel Summers) Going Fast?!?
The two hottest selling figures in the latest round of Marvel Legends Mini-Comic figures really should come as no surprise. It’s the X-Force Feral And Excalibur Phoenix (Rachel Summers) figures. Two figures many collectors have long been waiting for to complete two X-Teams years in the making.

As of right now both figures have sold out at multiple retailers including Walmart, BBTS, and Amazon. Both figures are still available for pre-order at our sponsor Entertainment Earth which if you spend $79+ you can get free shipping in the US. They are also both still available at Nerdzoic.

Feral is currently still available on Pulse and Amazon as well. The MSRP on these figures are $27.99 each.

I preordered the entire Mini Comic wave 2 on the Walmart app a day before they were officially announced.. for $24.97 each.. now hopefully Walmart won’t CANCEL them . even tho I’ve pre-ordered from Walmart before & had ZERO issues..

I prefer the BAFs over mini-comics and fake retro packaging

You know, now that we are finally getting Rachel to complete Excalibur, I wouldnt mind updates to the other members. Nightcrawler in Alan Davis style with a mullet, an improved Shadowcat with more accurate curly hair, and maybe Meggan with a better hair sculpt that wont tip her over. And Captain Britain in his second costume.

Throw in Widget somewhere.

And while this Rachel we are getting is fantastic, I would also love a deluxe take on Rachel with more alternate headsand a base with larger spread-out flame wings.

And characters from later issues like Cerise, Douglock and Wolfsbane in mid-morph with a ponytail.

I used to hate the BAF concept, but as I got more into collecting. I appreciated them because if I do not want to complete the BAF. I can always sell the BAF piece and make some of my money back. I am cutting down on Legends because I do not have the money to spend on it. The quality has dipped a little IMO and I do not feel like I am getting my money’s worth despite the price hike.

I’m well pleased with these offerings! I’m most excited for Champion and Starfox, especially because I’ve wanted a figure of Champion for oh…40 years, lol. Really happy to see an 80s grey suit Black Widow on the new body! And that Gameverse Punisher/ Fury set…..I….thing I really want that!

Count me in the anti-BAF contingent, and I’m glad Hasbro seems to moving away from that model. As prices rise, shelf space dwindles, and the hassles of acquiring figures increases (immediate sell-outs, store exclusives, etc.), the last thing I want to have to do is buy more, unwanted figures just to get the BAF piece. I usually had to resort to overpriced eBay to get the completed BAF I wanted. If Hasbro just released the figure as a deluxe or a two-pack, that would make acquiring the BAF much easier and cheaper than the aftermarket.

It has never occurred to me that BAFs are obscure characters, and that doesn’t seem to be case definitively. There are both obscure and non-obscure BAFs so I don’t see a trend either way. Obviously, what’s obscure will be in the eye of the beholder but we’ve had Juggernaut, Hulk, Hulkbuster, Odin, Rhino, Thanos, Ultron, Abomination, Absorbing Man, Giant Man, Man Thing, Sandman, Apocalypse, Kingpin, Lizard, Sasquatch, Wendigo, Sauron, Venom, Colossus, Watcher, Ch’od, and Warlock as BAFs. To me, those are popular, non-obscure characters.

I always thought BAFs originally were a way for Hasbro to release oversized figures since they can spread out the oversized parts in several packages. Now, that’s not an issue as they have released BAF-size figures as deluxe standalone figures or in two-packs.

One obscure figure that they’re about to release as a two-pack is Champion, which I’m excited for. So, that’s one example of an obscure figure that isn’t a BAF. Beyonder and Molecule Man also seem obscure to me, and they were released as standalone figures. It seems to me that both obscure and non-obscure characters can be released as BAFs or standalone figures.

Exactly. There is no way that Armadillo for example would ever be place on a store shelf and sell. They need the BAF program to sell these figures. Not only that but these sculpt are usually unique enough that they can’t really be used again.

I mean who can you use Armadillo for? Ursa Major can only really be used for Grizzly. Except for Shaper of Worlds who else do you see Bonebreaker becoming. They need the BAF program to give us character we wouldn’t get otherwise.

The BAF program isn’t going anywhere. It’s just been reduced to 3 fan channel waves a year and I’m all for that.

I’m on the opposite end of the spectrum as @AnotherPunckChef in regard to BAFs.

I wouldn’t have many of favorite figures if it wasn’t for the BAF. It’s pretty unlikely that characters like Armadillo, Bonebreaker, Ch’od, Caliban, Controller, Fin Fang Foom, the Kree Sentry, the Mandroid armor, the Mindless Ones, Mr. Hyde, Genocide/Holocaust/Nemesis, Puff Adder, Brood Queen, Rintrah, Stilt-Man, Titus, Theta Sentinel, Ursa Major, Warlock, Zemnu and others would have gotten a stand-alone release.

At a time where I don’t really ever want to buy another version of any of the A-Listers ever again, it’s the obscure characters that I still collect for after being in on this line since Day 1 with Toy Biz. The BAF is one of the only ways for us to get these characters that Hasbro doesn’t likely believe would sell well enough on their own to bother with.

Long live the BAF!

Agreed, I’m all about the BAF program, and because it provides us with so many larger obscure or less known characters that would never have a chance at retail as a stand alone release, on another hand I also dislike BAF waves for the fact, it tends to make you buy figures you only need for a BAF piece, spending extra money and having to get rid of unwanted figures isn’t that much of a delight, but Again it’s all worth it to get some very excellent Gems and Hasbro tends to really go for that model, the more odd, also with BAF waves we also get more obscure cuts in characters since they available because they are driven by the BAF piece, so no to anyone who wants BAF waves phased out… think again, NO BAFs waves / BAFs would hurt this line to no end, it would just be constant churning out of the same popular characters (which it partly already is)

They have certainly moved away from BAF waves, when once the only waves were BAF waves, we have slowly seen Legends become a more on card back oriented line sans BAFs, while there once used to be like 9 BAF waves a year, lately it’s been greatly reduced to 2-3 a year. Fine, because if I’m going fork out all the dough on 6 figures for a BAF, don’t make me do it 10 times a year LOL.

Long Live the BAF Club member!
