Render for the box are make before they go into production. By the time higher ups decide they aren't go to put the monet in for the updates and just use older bodies it too late to change the packaging.

Understood, but this is a multibillion dollar company that's been around for over 90 years. They have a quality control department to catch this exact kind of thing. Also, this isn't even a new figure at all, its been dusted off the shelf. So any render they made here that doesn't match, is really just misleading.

At the same time, collectors have got to understand that if we continue to buy sub-par products, the company has zero incentive to improve.

I got mine the other day and I am pretty disappointed. Terrax is a metallic pinkish color where he should be red. The Fallen One has two different length legs, just like my Sentry order from Walgreens. This makes it really hard to get him to stand up, without contorting him into some action pose. Terrax also has what must have been a larger plastic air bubble that burst, after initial molding, right on the front left side of his red(pink) shoulder armor. This left a nice round hole on his armor. I really hope others don't have all these issues that I did. I feel like buying another old Terrax baf again with the much better red paint color apps. Wish they would have at least scaled Terrax down, with a new mold, to his 6 foot height, he's way too tall.

The Terrax on the box has completely different legs, why do they keep doing that?

I just got this yesterday. I like it more than i thought i would in hand and terax still holds up pretty good. Fallen one is all head sculpt and looks good with all the available heralds together. Now we just need Air walker!

After getting this pack open I do have one issue, and maybe I'm crazy but Terrax's arms feel like they are too short, kinda weirds me out when looking at it, other then that as I've said before despite this figures age it holds up and still looks good, if it ain't broke (enough) don't fix it. I just wish his arms didn't seem so stubby.

I am actually pretty happy with this. I never built Terrax since I only wanted one or two of the set. On ebay he was going for 60 for a long time. I ne er pulled the trigger. But when they announced Galactus, I changed my mind. It shot up to 120 on ebay that day. So to get him and the first Herald, who I don't think I read anything with, for 65 was good for me. If I had the old baf this would be an easy pass.

I do agree with those of you saying Surfer should be on the same body as the Fallen. I actually really like this figure. Firelord doesn't bother me like it does the rest of you. But the Surfer with Galactus should have been an improvement body wise over the Walgreens. People had been complaining a lot. It's not like they didn't know it was an issue. Also, since getting the sale priced Iron Spider, I would have liked that metallic paint used for him as well. I agree wholeheartedly with whoever was talking about (a bunch of conversations on a different thread ago) how obscure characters can get all new parts, Maggot for instance, but big names get cobbled together and put on the wrong bodies. I was annoyed about USAgent too.

Unless they put out a Reaper buck 2.0 or something, they should just give Surfer the Vulcan buck, imo. It is practically the same size as the reaper mold + has butterflies + the body just looks better. Giving it some longer shins/boots that would add more height for certain characters, like Silver Surfer, would be nice.

And therein lies the problem with the Sunfire buck that some of these characters were done on. It is totally inaccurate, totally misused, and honestly, regardless of the butterflies, it is actually not a very good looking mold. I think the fact that it was a new mold in a time when the ones being used at the time were becoming nauseatingly tiresome and hated was the reason it was almost unanimously loved at the time. As innovative as it was at the time it's just plain funny looking compared to more modern bucks, starting with that freaky long neck and proceeding with the short arms and legs in comparison to the torso. It's complete garbage, but the sheer fact that it has butterfly joints is what makes it the automatic for figures like Falcon, Surfer and Firelord, who actually do not need butterflies to be put in their respective flying poses or to hold a staff (try it out). An updated Reaper buck would be preferable, but until that happens I'd be satisfied with the Vulcan buck, no doubt. Maybe if and when the new Reaper sized mold comes out they will address this issue, but I doubt it, unless Hasbro finds a way to gouge the fans for more money while they're at it. My prediction would be perhaps a few 2 packs with both SS and FL being in separate boxes along with some lesser known characters that are fairly cool and likeable.

I'm glad I cancelled my order for this. I may change my mind and order it eventually, but it's very underwhelming. I already have the old Terrax BAF, so the lack of newness in this set is really frustrating. If they were just going to slightly repaint the existing BAF, they could have at least given us a new big ol' rock for him to fly around on. The price is just too much for what you get.
